Hi, I don't seem to be able to delete the post but just want to say I created another wallet and this time the BTC showed up.

My comment is the whole crypto-currency system will have to get a lot more user friendly before it becomes mainstream like PayPal. I guess that will happen in time as the better systems set the standards and improve to user demand.

I didn't get any answers to the post but thanks to everyone that read it anyway....and yes you're right ALWAYS BACKUP!!

Hi Forum,

I am a new user so if I have this in wrong place apologies please advise. I need some help with Bitcoin and Electrum Wallet.

I have an Electrum Wallet on my windows PC (wallet 1) and it had around 2.5 bitcoin balance as at 1 August.

I read that I would get BCC equivalent for owning the BTC so I created another BTC Electrum wallet on the same computer and transferred all the BTC to it (Wallet 2) on 2nd August.

I then downloaded Coinomi onto an Android tablet and created a Coinomi wallet with BCC and BTC coins activated. I used the seed words for Wallet 1 (as it was now empty) with the understanding it would see BTC balance  as at 1 Aug and credit the BCC.

I waited till it synced but no BCC showed up and I just forgot about it to do later.

Next time I opened my Electrum wallet on PC (wallet 2) it has the history of wallet 1 partially merged with wallet 1's history and zero balance. I opened wallet 1 and it is the same.

The transaction where I sent the bitcoin from wallet 1 to wallet 2 just shows as a debit in both wallets. The private keys, the history and the balance are now the same in both wallets.

I thought may be just the local files were overwritten so I created a third wallet on the PC using the seed for wallet 2 but it shows a zero balance.

In desperation I created another Electrum wallet on another PC altogether using the wallet 2 seed words but it shows zero too.

During installation of wallets 3 and 4  there was an option for MH/ ?  I just left that the way it was, maybe I have created the error?

I don't have backup files as the merged history  has over written both files ( the ones stored in User/appdata/roaming....etc

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated greatly.

The Electrum wallet versions are 2.9.0
The PCs are windows 7(wallet 1, 2 & 3) and windows 10 (Wallet 4)

Hi,

I have a multi-bit wallet which will not open with the correct password.  

A nice girl on you tube has a tutorial about Electrum.

Their wallet created with the seed words synced and recovered history and coin.

All good news
