i am using "Electrum" as my wallet. my goal was to receive bitcoin. Just so I am clear with the information that I received here in the forum. BCD is not Bitcoin? The address 12GWxyzArz5oSRmNsrTMQfjnYKbkoJKPjg that I generated was a Bitcoin address. I do not have a BCD account. I only have a Bitcoin account. So... Long story short... the fund as far as I am concerned is lost forever?
According to their native block explorer, you have received 94.818786 BCD: explorer.btcd.io/#/address?loading=true&address=12GWxyzArz5oSRmNsrTMQfjnYKbkoJKPjgHowever, Electrum is a Bitcoin [BTC] wallet not a Bitcoin Diamond [BCD] wallet. The good news is, you can export that address' private key from the addresses tab and import it to a BCD Electrum wallet; Here are the steps: - First, enable the 'Addresses' tab by using the menu "View->Show Addresses", then go to that tab.
- Find "12GWxyzArz5oSRmNsrTMQfjnYKbkoJKPjg" among the list and right-click on it.
- Select "Private key" and its private key should be displayed after typing the password, copy it.
- Download "Electrum BCD" from this link: www.bitcoindiamond.org/download/
- Open it, create a wallet but select "Import BitcoinDiamond addresses or private keys" when prompted for the wallet type, paste the private key and finish creating the wallet.

Both two version re creating max 5 different private keys, each two vers. even generates different prv keys n adresses, there is nothing similar, still balance zero
There re only 2 servers , must be at least 4 -5 which vers. I used. Ecsda, - ro. de.50005, blockstream700 am also imagining. -snip-
Are you pertaining to the balance in the the latest version where the private keys are imported? If so and the connection icon is green ( lower-right), then I'm afraid that those imported keys are really empty. AFAIK, there's no other seed compatibility-breaking update after v0.34 so those are the only two versions that you can try. Both versions shows the exact 9 seed words true as i wrote, last 3 seeds re missing and not showing up in seed icon, looks like i opened the wallet just with 9 words I tried to write different seeds it opens the wallet more than different as i wrote. Like i write “swim” it generates “flower” n there is totally different wallet if there is a wrong word in ur seeds. So thats the proof of my seeds re true.
I can't reproduce this since I don't have those versions installed, try to ask @ETFbitcoin if he can reproduce it to see what's happening.

You mean in the 'splash screen' before the GUI shows?
You might have to check the log to get an idea on what's happening under the hood, it's in bitcoin data directory. If you set a custom datadir, it should be there, the file is "debug.log".

Don't call me a weirdo it's just the way I feel about this, if your key is lost and I don't have a way to get it back then it will remain is its lost state, if you spread the news and give your keys out for recovery and they denied they don't recover them what will you do?
~snip~ If that happens, you can create a scam accusation thread with enough evidence like screenshots of the wallet and conversations, etc. Most of the time, it's enough to crush a service's reputation if provided with strong evidence. How can you file a scam complaint on bitcointalk against a random stranger you met on the internet who offered to restore your password but ended up deceiving you? Against a random stranger, of course no. Against something like what's being discussed in this topic ( a recovery service), yes. If you read the article, they have a website that offers crypto recovery service.

If the issue happens even if you have Bitcoin Core, you should share your logs (or just the error parts) for us to see what's happening.
Hello here the error parts: 2022-02-01 19:11 (ERROR) -- ArmoryQt.py:1188 - 6 attempts to load blockchain failed. Remove mempool.bin. Nothing much in the errors, but that could indicate that your Blockchain is indeed pruned ( as the other users suspected) since Armory can't load it, the old blocks must have been deleted already. Take note that you'll have to resync Bitcoin Core again after disabling that option, and it will require quite high storage space (400GB+).

How do i open the mnemonic word list for 0.30 or where to find? -snip-
Go to your electrum-0.30's folder and open 'client' folder, the file that you're looking for is " mnemonic.py"; open it as a text file and you should see the word list, however, there's no word " glamour" among the list, just the same list in pooya's link.

I hope I can get some help.
If the issue happens even if you have Bitcoin Core, you should share your logs ( or just the error parts) for us to see what's happening. You can get if from the file " Armorylog.txt" file in Armory's data directory. The default datadir for Windows ( "appdata" is hidden): C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Armory\

According to the initial release, it is deterministic: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/6db1a31e58ee15c448448139e7d3a9e72b14268fBut there's no description that it accepts private key, only " passphrase" that will be used as seed. note: I haven't used the initial release so it's all based from the available data in the repository, some old-timers might have better answers.

Most people as a result send 2 transactions. A small 'test' transaction, followed by the larger. -snip-
I only see people doing this if it's their first time sending to a newly installed wallet; and some for high value transactions. I mean, " see" as I remember users included it in their description in some technical support threads. Anyhow, as mentioned, Electrum has such feature, except the broadcasted transaction could be mined in the next block before you can send the " double-spend" txn it if it has enough fee rate. But still, the average of 10-minutes per block offers enough time in case the receiver didn't see the unconfirmed transaction or if it was sent to the wrong address. Non-custodial wallets should be able to see the broadcasted unconfirmed transaction right away, no need to implement " step2" if that's your concern. | ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FMTsyfyJ.png&t=663&c=V7gGxrY-n1DTtw) | | | |

How do I ge the btc from the localbitcoin transanction? something must be wrong because its marked as ccomplete but i never got anything..
hosseinimr93 is correct. You can confirm it by checking the latest ( send) transaction's details in the history, right-click on it and select " View Transaction". Under " Inputs (2)", there should be two entries that have the same TXID as the transactions from Coinbase and Localbitcoins. It means that it spent the funds from those two transactions. Seems like you have clicked " max" unintentionally? Additionally, next time, if you want to use only one/specific input(s) ( eg. only from Coinbase), utilize " coin control": Enable the 'Coins' tab to view your available inputs ( View->Show Coins), go to the 'Coins' tab, right-click and select 'Spend' on the input(s) that you want to spend. It will display " coin control active" at the bottom and when you go to the send tab, it will only use the selected input(s).

-snip- Only wanted to mention again that we have an exceptionally bad line speed where I stay. Looks like it could contribute to all of this.
I highly doubt it, Electrum will only require about 56MB of data once ( first time it launched), then only a trickle of few bytes after that. Unless you're running a few lightning channels without trampoline routing.

I don't get the point of the question, is it in case the recovery service recovered the key from the wallet, spent the funds but told the owner that they failed? If so, it's easy to tell if the funds were spent because the user can always check the funds through various blockexplorers or using a 'watch-only wallet' made from the bitcoin address. If that happens, you can create a scam accusation thread with enough evidence like screenshots of the wallet and conversations, etc. Most of the time, it's enough to crush a service's reputation if provided with strong evidence.

Thank you for ongoing advice. Yeah, i must be misremembering. Now it seems clear that i had to have deleted the transaction on the "Receive" tab. It was certainly an actual implemented transaction, and not just a request to receive BTC. BUT there were of course no confirmations. I just have this inexplicable memory blank about who the actual sender was. -snip-
For the record, the delete option in the receive tab is labeled "delete", while the one in the history ( only for local transactions) is labeled "Remove". So since you've mentioned that you clicked " delete" in the OP, it's the receive tab which is only an invoice. That also explains the " blank memory" of the sender because there wont be a sender if you haven't sent the invoice to anyone.

Yes, Bitcoin Core is a hard requirement of Armory. Without it, there's no way for Armory to acquire the data from the Bitcoin blockchain.
Take note that you should disable the "prune blockchain" settings in Bitcoin Core before downloading the blockchain or it will not work with Armory.

BTW, your images: "Coin Control" and the alleged turned watch-only wallet "Electrum 2" doesn't fit the story because of the huge difference in the number of available (unspent) outputs and "TX" count in the history.
Yes its true because I have 8 wallets and I didn't have an image for that particular combination so I posted a picture I took with my Phone. -snip-Okay... I see the situation strange based from the available info and at this point, I have no idea what's happening in your client since none of it should happen under normal circumstances. ( 'Imported' into 'imported watch-only' | Imported the same prvKey to other wallets and derived different address) Sorry I can't help more.

-snip- I know what you told me to start over and so on but if there are anybody reading this post that had a similar problem where it seems the address of the private key is different and that had a solution, please help. It will be much appreciated.
I think the information you need is about the nature of private keys and addresses. It's not some sort of a backup that'll fetch an address from a server; just think of it as a " pair". The Private key is actually a big number which a public key can be computed from, and the address is derived from that public key. Better ELI5 explanation: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/beginners/keys_addressesThere can't be a network/server-side error which could lead to wrong address recovered from a private key, all is computed by the client/wallet, if there's an issue, it's the client. With that, if Blockchain.com and Exodus both derive the same address ( and test other clients), then there's something wrong with your Electrum or you've imported the wrong private key. You said that you've verified its signature and it checks out? BTW, your images: " Coin Control" and the alleged turned watch-only wallet " Electrum 2" doesn't fit the story because of the huge difference in the number of available ( unspent) outputs and " TX" count in the history.

-snip- Something that also surprised me is that Electrum doesn't operate with BIP39 seeds, it seems, so if I create a seed in Electrum I can't use the seed directly on another wallet, would that be the case? I'd need to grab the xprvs for this.
I searched for a way of converting seeds but don't know if that's possible. Needless to say, it's great that Electrum itself accepts BIP39 seeds.
Yes. BTW, what's the reason why you need to use another wallet? As another cosigner? If so, that client should have a " PSBT" feature ( Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction), without it, it wont be able to sign the exported unsigned/partially-signed transactions from Electrum and vice versa.

They never replied to me. Do you have the BTC derivation path of Coinbase? 200 $ for you if yours work. We already tried with many derivation paths.
I'm shocked that you still haven't received your bitcoins, at least if I were you, I would, in these two years, force coinbase tech support to tell me to fuck off (give me back the coins). Problem is " Coinbase" isn't " Coinbase Wallet"; although both are products by the same company, those aren't the same. OP's wallet is the latter which isn't custodial, so Coinbase doesn't have anything give him since they don't have the funds. BTW, if you've read the previous replies, you'll see that in various users' attempts, they can restore their address in Electrum, but for some reason, OP can't ( and it's for you to judge what went wrong).
