Title: Electrum 1.9.8 on Tails after Reboot lose Receive Address Post by: caliwe on October 26, 2015, 06:58:35 PM Hi
first sorry for my english skills.. :) Somebody send to me 0.9 BTC. I give an Receive Address from my Electrum Client in Tails (with ctrl+C). After reboot i dont see the receiving adress anymore in Electrum. I use Tails and i dont think about that after the reboot everything is lost. Just Supid from me.. I have the seed and make a restore. but also with this is the balance 0 and i dont see the receiving address anymore that i give for the sending person.. The Seed is 100% not wrong (photo) It is a chance for get the money back? What i can do? I send a second small amount to test. This i get and i see the receiving address.. Down the information from blockexplore. Address 0.8731 BTC Address 1LdGdQd6J7ofepk9edmdd8pxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Copied! Summary confirmed Total Received 0.8731 BTC Total Sent 0 BTC Final Balance 0.8731 BTC No. Transactions 2 Unconfirmed Unconfirmed Txs Balance 0.873 BTC No. Transactions 1 I read a lot and try 6h already many things. but i cant get the coins to my wallett..

if you are not connected to a server, it will not restore all your addresses. make sure you are connected first. and please, update to a recent version, 1.9.8 is way too old. Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 on Tails after Reboot lose Receive Address Post by: caliwe on October 28, 2015, 07:22:26 PM i restore the wallet from seed with the newest Version. I go look every seed ever i make. But nowhere i get the coins on.
I connected to a server, i try it also different. i dont have any idee any more what i can do. Maybee i get scamed but iam 90% sure it was this address i copied from electrum.. Also i see the coins are received on the address and nobody move it.. if iam really scamed they sure sent the coins somewhere. Status ACTIVE USD Value $261.14 Balance 0.87310000 BTC Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 on Tails after Reboot lose Receive Address Post by: shorena on October 28, 2015, 07:58:39 PM Im running out of ideas, but what you could try is to run btcrecover[1] for your seed and the address. It can detect slight errors in the seed.
If you feel this is beyond your capabilites you can also send me the data and I will give it a try.

Has anyone else an idea what could have gone wrong?
Code: >python seedrecover.py Title: Re: Electrum 1.9.8 on Tails after Reboot lose Receive Address Post by: Abdussamad on October 30, 2015, 09:10:54 AM Did you check both change and receive account addresses?

Yes, in fact I even put the gap limit to 1000 manually using electrum 2.5.2 and the seed is was given. The balance is 0.00007 BTC from a different address (1N8...)[1] and none of the addresses match the one missing. [1] not sure if I am at liberty to disclose the full address.

I see only two possibilities: - you did not copy this address from electrum (you are 90% sure, not 100%) - you were infected by some malware that changes bitcoin addresses in the copy paste clipboard. if that is the case, it should be reproducible. edit: of course, using Tails makes the second possibility very unlikely on your side. it might be on the side of the person who sent the coins. |
