I just notice another thing. In the transactions for the addresses checking https://www.blockchain.com/ i notice that the payouts from slushpool are dated 2011. While in slushpool(mining site) they are dated 2014. Weird. -snip-You can check the " block height" where the transaction is included. That way, you can get a close approximate of the txn's date based from the height even if blockexplorers' dates wont match; In blockchain.com, it is labeled as " Included in Block".

Just wondering if, way back in the beginning, passcodes were ever 10 words instead of 12? Thanks.
Passcodes? - BIP39 "Seed phrases" doesn't always consist of 12 words. It can be 3, 6, 9, 12, 15..... but not 10 since the entropy wont be a multiple of 32bits.
- "Passphrase" for Brainwallet can be 10-words since the input's number of words is irrelevant.
- Or are you thinking of a specific wallet/client with 10-words backup?
For questions like this, it's better to be posted on " Beginners & Help" board instead ( link), I'll also ask a mod to move this topic to that board.

-snip- Although i don't know whether option "Help > Clear All Unconfirmed" exist on newer version of Armory.
The option is still available in version 0.96.5. However, he used a new Armory installation and just imported the wallet/root-key so the wallet is already rescanned for balance and it ended up empty. Thank you for the reply, -snip-
You can still try the latest version before throwing the towel, there could be an issue with v0.96. As you can see in the note on 0.96's download page: www.bitcoinarmory.com ( old Armory website), the latest release can now be downloaded from btcarmory.com. Upgrade to the latest, then use " Help->Rebuild and Rescan Databases"; if still empty, try " Help->Rescan Balance" for the last time.
-snip- OP's image has been also taken in 2015.
Nice observation You can tell based from " 390371 blocks", I see.

Here's a still unexplained instance back in 2015ish when I opened my wallet to find I had 184467440736 Spendable BTC... a big WTF from me, too, for obvious reasons. That's quite... There's a limit on how many Bitcoins that will be generated which is very close to 21,000,0000, your balance was way beyond that. Obviously, there's something wrong with that instance. -snip- I have a new computer, I downloaded all of the blockchain, and I proceeded to download the new 0.96 version of Armory.
The actual latest version is v0.96.5 from btcarmory.com. Anyways, since it synced, and the balance is 0, then the balance is actually not surprisingly zero. You can try to install the latest version and rescan and rebuild Armory's database ( it wont resyc Bitcoin core).

I particularly dislike the Receive tab because it has caused a lot of confusion among newcomers with its "request payment" feature that expires.
I see where this is coming from. It's a matter of preference though, but I'd always suggest newbies not to use the advanced features such as hidden tabs or console.

-snip- i would like to meet one of the 20 bitcoin co-founders or bitcoin custodians today.
Bitcoin has no custodian since it's a " decentralized digital currency" which is held by every nodes in the network. No one is in full control of the blockchain. If you like to contact the current developers, you can find them in Bitcoin's Repository: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors

i thout the keys belong to Hash-256 I was wrong Becouse ---->>> bitcoin give MD5 keys for clients from 2009 to 2011 and I am one of them -snip- Machine Code:3e362f7a52c34 Serial Number:1E99423A4ED27608A15A2616A2B0E9E52CED330AC530 1E99423A4ED27608A15A2616A2B0E9E52CED330AC5301E99423 2E99423A4ED27608A15A2616A2B0E9E52CED330AC5301E99423 3E99423A4ED27608A15A2616A2B0E9E52CED330AC5301E99423 4E99423A4ED27608A15A2616A2B0E9E52CED330AC5301E99423 6E99423A
Honestly, this looks like has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Specially the " Serial Number", a backup from bitcoin core wouldn't contain a serial number. In fact, Bitcoin Client v0.1.0 doesn't even have an export/backup option, just manual copy-paste of the " wallet.dat" file. Sadly, I can't add anything aside from my posts in the fist thread.

-snip- If it is better to select empty addresses: Should I use empty green "receiving" or empty yellow "change" addresses for it?
Just use the " Receive" tab. From there, Electrum will automatically select one of your unused receiving address each time you create an invoice ( receive queue). That way, you don't have to manually check the addresses if those are already used, because as the consensus here: it's not recommended to reuse addresses.

i have installed python and btcrecover to try restore. I think it is possible with btc recovery for my wallet żis correct? but I don't know how to create the password.txt and the tokens.txt i read the wiki, but it is too dificult for me -snip- the passphrase is similar wirelessacademic2021* I have changed it but keeping the structure
Does btcrecover supports Samurai encrypted " auto backup"? ( AFAIK it doesn't) Anyway, for the token file: If you haven't changed " wirelessacedemic" and just changed the numbers and symbol, then it'll be easy. You can use this simple token file: ^wirelessacademic ^,^%1,4d %y$
The token file translated into: use " wirelessacademic" at the start, any 1~4 digits at the middle, and any symbol at the end. This will get complicated if you've changed wirelessacademic into something else that you don't have any idea of, because it's long.

-snip- CB is trash, LBC sucks as well but it's faster. Got any other suggestions on what to use that allows sending to sedwig addresses and is also nice and easy and fast and streamlined? Maybe I'm asking for unicorns here but it's worth a try.
You can opt in for " Nested SegWit" addresses instead of " Native Segwit". That way, you'll get the benefit of SegWit while keep using those services that doesn't support bech32 addresses. The downside the total size of your transactions will be slightly higher than Native Segwit's but still lower than legacy ( in vBytes). You can make a Nested-SegWit Electrum wallet by manually generating a BIP39 seed and importing it to Electrum using the " Option" below the text box where you type the seed phrase, and by selecting BIP39. You'll get an option to select " p2sh-segwit" in the next window. If you decided to go for it, use a reputable BIP39 tool or use iancoleman's BIP39 tool ( offline from source) to generate a BIP39 seed.

Try to generate more change addresses by typing this to the console ( change "100" into higher value if you want to generate more): " View->Show Console" to enable the console tab. [wallet.create_new_address(True) for i in range(100)] But it looks like there's more to this than being a 'change address issue'.

-snip- or i will add it to blockchain.com and get it back, or can someone give me advice , is it ready to use?. -snip-
Blockchain.com and most wallets now only supports " WIF Private key" so if you're planning to use it, you must encode it first using the tools you've mentioned. Take note of the security implications stated above. Talking about safety, it's better if you can import the WIF PrvKey to an " Air-gap" PC instead since it looks like a lot of Bitcoins from 2014. You can check the balance and spend from it using an online computer installed with the watch-only version of the offline wallet. You can get the address from the restored wallet in the air-gap pc. Electrum has such feature: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-spend-from-an-offline-paper-wallet-using-electrum/ | Electrum WebsiteYou can also do the private key conversion in the air-gap PC where it's safe from hackers, viruses and malware. Just download the source of bitaddress, other paper wallet tool or code, then transfer it to that PC. Wikipedia: Air-Gap (networking)

SD standards-based memory cards, like most semiconductor cards, store information in flash memory. The current technology along with normal usage typically gives the card a lifespan of 10 years or more, allowing consumers to upgrade their devices for many years and reduce consumer electronic waste. Source : https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/faq/I believe the statement " along with normal usage" indicates that it's based from a scenario when the flash drive is constantly being used to delete & copy files. For cold storage purposes, the flash drive wont even be used so it wont " write" any more data so it should last longer than that. For example, I have a dormant USB2.0 thumb drive from 9 years ago and the contents are still intact time I tried, guess it will be broken by the next year :D Of course having multiple backup in different portable drives as a failsafe is recommended.

-snip- >> Did I lose my coins? How did it happen? >> I read about people who had similar problems with CB and Electrum transfers when asked to wait 72h but got their coins eventually
Seems like it, just a few minutes after you received the funds from CB, this transaction occurred: 587645349fb0e5ceb23498d4ae9862e3d157765539e14cb988fe626e8e868ae8If you did not initiated that transfer, It's highly likely that your Electrum is compromised via a couple of factors or you're using a fake version. Unfortunately, Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. All you can do is to check the reason of the hack and learn from it.

-snip- Is there a way to do it properly ?
I could export the private keys from the old wallet (which is mostly empty) but not from the new one.
Then it's good, you can import the funded address(es)' private keys to the other Armory wallet to spend its UTXOs together. You already know how to export, yes? Now, to be able to import keys in Armory, you have to be in " Advanced" or " Expert" mode ( Menu: User->Advanced/Expert, then restart to switch), Then you can now import individual keys to a wallet by double-clicking the wallet name and select: " Import/Sweep Private Keys". Make sure to select " Import these addresses to your wallet" and not sweep, otherwise, it will immediately create a txn that'll spend its funds and send it to that wallet.

As far as Electrum and Bitcoin are concerned, that transaction is now confirmed ( fully sent), and any issues regarding the recipient not receiving the fund is out of the anyone's control since the transaction is now deep in the blockchain where it cannot be reversed. All you can do is to contact the recipient. You may also need to double-check the receiving address [ 3MU1CGBjnfg3FTt156ZramF9mnVCmjqAdN] if it matched with the one sent to you by the recipient. All of the characters, not just the first and last few.

You're right, and I can't seem to do that migration even though the electrum option gives me the [I already have seed] option. I just tried it and it didn't work.
The " I already have a seed option let's you restore an existing 2fa wallet. After you enter the seed, you will be asked whether you want to keep using 2fa or to disable it. It's an extremely useful option. -snip-I think it's a reply to the post above it. He was talking about his " old seed" which is a Native SegWit Electrum seed, pasting it on that window wont trigger the 'next' button.

-snip- I'm still in the stage of getting new seed or using old seed. So since I'm still very new to knowing a lot about electrum and its feature, let me ask some of you who are expert.
Electrum won't let you click " next" after pasting the " old seed" to the seed text box when restoring 2fa wallets. It will be detected as " Seed Type: segwit". Take note: Electrum 2fa wallets use Trusted Coin's service for the third party cosigner, and it comes with a price: trustedcoin.com/#/faq
