Title: Electrum Lost the seed
Post by: 2501 on August 05, 2014, 12:26:56 AM
A friend lost his electrum seed with about 2 BTCs in it.

I don't know if that info helps , but he told me that he did not set the password for this wallet.

Is there a way to recover this Bitcoins or it is a lost case?

Does he have the wallet file? if not, how was it lost? if it was deleted accidentally or on a PC that crashed it may be possible to recover it.

If he doesn't have the wallet file or seed then the BTC is gone.
