you don't use the address to create a wallet that you can spend from in electrum. you use the private key and the private key alone.

here's a detailed guide: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/
1502  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: NEED HELP Manually entered dollars instead of Bitcoins on: July 14, 2017, 10:45:56 PM
addresses aren't accounts. there are no accounts in bitcoin. don't fixate on individual addresses. your electrum wallet consists of many addresses and you look at the wallet as a whole not at individual addresses. you will find your wallet balance in the bottom left of the electrum window and your transaction history on the history tab.
1503  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Having An Issue Importing Paper Wallet, New BTC User on: July 14, 2017, 10:42:17 PM
The private key you've entered is incorrect which is why you are getting this error. You should double check that you typed it in correctly. Case matters.

The private key looks like this in case you have trouble differentiating it from the address: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key#Base58_Wallet_Import_format

Sorry you are right. I tried it myself and it only displays one private key. Even restoring from the xprvs+xpub.

There is a risky way to get your address specific private keys. You can download this webpage and run it offline:

https://bip32jp.github.io/english/

Enter your xprv in "BIP32 Extended Key" and scroll down to "Derivation path" and set it to custom. If your address is the first in the list of address in electrum then you enter "m/0/0" (without quotes) in the "custom path" field, if it is the second then enter  "m/0/1" and so on.


You'll have to do that for each of the xprvs.

I'm still not sure how this will help you claim your funds. p2sh addresses also involve a redeem script which you can create with the createmultisig command i gave you before.
1505  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering funds from a P2SH multisig address on: July 12, 2017, 02:57:41 PM
I restored it from my seed, so now it shows "This wallet is was restored from seed, and it contains two master private keys. Therefore, two-factor-authentication is disabled." when I click Trustedcoin.

what happens when you right click on an address and select private key? you should get two address specific private keys.
1506  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering funds from a P2SH multisig address on: July 12, 2017, 01:08:33 PM
Mhm, in my restored wallet it only shows one.. I'll see if I can find the other one.
If anyone else has ideas, please shoot Smiley

when recovering your wallet you have to choose not to continue using trusted coin as a cosigner when it asks you that question. did you do that?
1507  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering funds from a P2SH multisig address on: July 12, 2017, 11:55:25 AM
you don't have just one private key. you have 3 behind each address. you need 2 out of 3 to spend money from an address. when you restore your wallet it will contain 2 out of 3 and they will be displayed if you right click on an address and choose private key.

but ultimately it depends on what software you are using to sweep these addresses. does it support multisig addresses? if it doesn't then your tokens are lost.
1508  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering funds from a P2SH multisig address on: July 12, 2017, 11:36:54 AM
I do have 2 out of 3 master private keys now, so in theory it should be possible.
On what site would I combine these master private keys to generate the multisig addresses?
I have generated addresses out of both of them seperately, but haven't found a site where I can put in multiple master private keys yet.
It's worth a try for sure.

When you restore your wallet in electrum it generates the multisig address. Does that not help?

You can also generate the address on the command line using the createmultisig command.

Code:
electrum help createmultisig

You will need any combination of the 3 public or private keys behind that address (the address specific ones not the master ones). You can right click on the address in your restored wallet and get most of that info there.
1509  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is there any way to recover the seed of eletrum wallet i cant acces my wallet on: July 12, 2017, 11:30:26 AM
i copy it from the area it appear on the electrum wallet and paste it to confirm and give me the same problem.

how did you do this? electrum doesn't allow you to copy paste that.


did you check the wordlist that pooya posted above? are all the words in your seed in that list and spelled correctly?

where did you download tails os from? what website?
1510  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Master Public Keys greyed out in Electrum on: July 12, 2017, 11:26:46 AM
Hi, I restored a wallet in Electrum by using the private key but I cant click on Master Public Keys because its greyed out and I dont know why, also I cant sign a transaction with a watching only wallet because theres no send button, please help

master public keys are a feature of deterministic wallets. a wallet with imported private keys is not a deterministic wallet.

a wallet with imported private keys is not a watch-only wallet. you should be able to sign messages with such a wallet.

however if it is truly a watch-only wallet with no private keys then you can't sign messages because you need the private key for that.
1511  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recovering funds from a P2SH multisig address on: July 12, 2017, 11:24:16 AM
these are multisig addresses with more than one private key behind them. you only have one in your wallet. another one is with your co-signer trustedcoin. the third is encoded in the seed mnemonic that you were shown during the wallet creation process and which you were supposed to write down.

we've had a few posts here from users wanting to claim various alt-coin "air drops" i.e. altcoins handed out to existing bitcoin holders. they've had to generate signatures using 2 out of the 3 private keys behind their multisig addresses and then submit those on websites. Is something like this possible for your ICO?
1512  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to create an Electrum address? on: July 12, 2017, 11:09:44 AM
I have only addresses start with "3" in Electrum.
How can I create address starts with "1"?

You must have created a multi-signature wallet as multi-signature addresses start with a 3. You will have to create a new normal wallet if you want addresses that begin with a 1.

The electrum documentation explains multi-signature wallets.

http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/multisig.html

No, I didn't. I have the default wallet.

you have either a multisig or 2fa wallet. what does it say in the window title bar? default_Wallet is just the file name. the wallet type will be given in the title bar too.

you need to create a new standard wallet which you can do by following this guide: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/creating-an-electrum-wallet/ .

It helps if you break down your post into sentences.

1515  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum....Received Less Coins? on: July 09, 2017, 08:39:19 AM
Hello,

Im new to electrum. I sent $250usd to one of my electrum addresses but only $98usd showed up. Did anyone else have this problem? My fee settings were set to dynamic fees. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

you don't get charged money to receive bitcoin. the sender gets charged transaction fees on the order of a couple dollars worth but that is usually not deducted from amount sent to you (sender bears tx fees). that money goes to miners. electrum itself does not charge you anything. it's opensource software and you can go look at the source code if you like:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum


in the past when we've had people complaining about stuff like this it's because they bought bitcoins from shady websites that scammed them. is that what you did?
1516  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Sending an exact amount with fee's? added or not? on: July 09, 2017, 08:05:08 AM
On the send tab you enter the amount the recipient should get.
1517  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Transfer keys between USBs on: July 07, 2017, 11:36:52 AM
Ok what is a live Linux and an airtight computer? Smiley

Live linux is a linux distribution that runs from a DVD, USB or other removable drive and which does not change things on your hard drive. It is like a virgin system that makes no permanent changes to your computer.

An air gapped (not airtight) computer is one that is never connected to any computer network. The term dates back to when we connected to computer networks using physical wires i.e. ethernet cables. To be air gapped means that their is gap between the cable and the port on the back of your PC i.e. the cable is not plugged in so there is no connection to the network.

In this day and age an air gapped computer would not be capable of network access via both wired and wireless means. So it would not have a WIFI card or a mobile network access. The hardware for such wireless access has to be removed from the computer for it to be a true air gapped PC (because otherwise deeply embedded malware could be making such connections without your knowledge).

The idea behind an air gapped computer is that any malware that might infect the computer can't communicate with the outside world so it can't steal your secrets i.e. your private keys.

RBF transactions don't show up on a lot of block explorers. There is nothing to worry about.
1519  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Rushed back up, no coin on: July 07, 2017, 08:22:06 AM
The seed consists of 12 English words. Is that what you are calling a random password?
1520  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: upgraded electrum, refund sent to old address on: July 06, 2017, 02:06:14 PM
They sent the money to their payment processor bitpay! Why didn't they just ask the OP for an address to send the money to instead of trying to read things off a block explorer site?
