Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Missing wallet after update from 3.0.3 to 3.3.6

Quote from: Lucius on June 29, 2019, 12:52:45 PM Quote from: jaapdeventer on June 29, 2019, 12:32:26 PM I don't remember getting "seed words" when installen Electrum 3.0.3. When I opened Electrum 3.0.3 I used a password. That's all. By history you post it is clear that you sold bitcoin from MultiBit and that you then start using Electrum. But how you create that 3.0.3 Electrum wallet? If wallet is created as Standard wallet you should get 12 seed words, and if you import private keys (maybe from MultiBit) then only way for wallet recovery is with that private keys. It makes no sense that you only use pasword, you set that password when you create Electrum 3.0.3 or? Key question here is how you create Electrum wallet since you do not remember seed words, this is most important step when creating wallet. Dear all, I have found my wallet. Been looking for hours today. Found the file on my NAS. The NAS is not open from the internet, but still, never thought I would have placed my wallet on the NAS. Feeling a bit stupid. Thanks for all the suggestions. Without I would have stopped looking much sooner. So glad I finaly found my wallet. Thanks again!

Hi, I did extensively search for "wallet" and "electrum" on my pc. I only find my older Multibit wallet. Just did several Recuva deep searches on "D:/AppDataLocal/Electrum" and "C:\\Users\\Asus Jaap\\AppData\\Roaming". Recuva did not find anything related to Electrum. My bitcoin history: 05-01-2014 sold half using Multibit 17-01-2014 sold other half using Multibit (left 0,00008) 24-12-2017 bought using Electrum 19-08-2018 sold (as a test) using Electrum 21-08-2018 bought using Electrum 26-06-2019 tried to sell to Bitonic.nl. Went wrong at the moment of final confirmation of the order using Electrum 3.0.3 I've stille got the Multibit wallet with 0,00008 bitcoin. The Electrum wallet was alright on 3.0.3. After installing Electrum 3.3.6 in the same directory as Electrum 3.0.3 was installed my Electrum wallet is gone. I don't remember getting "seed words" when installen Electrum 3.0.3. When I opened Electrum 3.0.3 I used a password. That's all. I tried al the tips I got above. So far no luck.

There's no Electrum 3.6.6 on electrum.org are you sure that you download it from electrum.org check the url. Also, verify the signature of this 3.6.6 if this is real electrum wallet follow this guide from here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5105901.0 I suggest you download "Everything" software where you can search your wallet fast just put the name of your wallet or term "electrum" it will shows all of your electrum folder in seconds. What I think is that the 3.6.6 hide your 3.0.3 wallet and you can find them if you change the folder settings to show hidden files and system files. Your right I have installed Electrum 3.3.6 (not 3.6.6, my mistake). I have now changed this in the title. However the Electrum wallet directory is really emty. Holds zero bytes. I have the settings set to show hidden files. No luck.

Quote from: mocacinno on June 26, 2019, 01:40:47 PM I'd still recommand checking out the config file and using your OS's search functionality. This is the relevant part of the config: "gui_last_wallet": "D:/AppDataLocal/Electrum\\Wallet Jaap", "is_maximized": false, "recently_open": [ "D:/AppDataLocal/Electrum\\Wallet Jaap", "D:/AppDataLocal/Electrum/Wallet Jaap", "C:\\Users\\Asus Jaap\\AppData\\Roaming\\Electrum\\wallets\\Wallet Jaap" ], It seems I had a wallet called "Wallet Jaap" until I updated to Electrum 3.3.6. Now the refered to locations are empty.

I used the electrum program menu to go to the Electrum site. Downloaded the Windows installer version. I installed the Electrum 3.6.6 in the same directory as Electrum 3.0.3 was installed. Could it be the original wallet has been deleted in this action? The popup was the phising attempt (there is no version 4), but you did have the correct reaction by visiting the original electrum.org site and downloading the newest version (i'd still urge you to look in your browser history and do double check if you really visited electrum.org AND check the signature of the file you downloaded... better safe than sorry ) As for the installation: AFAIK, old wallets shouldn't be removed by upgrading your wallet... However, wallets can be saved anywhere on your system, the path i gave in an earlyer post was just the default path offered by electrum when generating new wallets... I'd still recommand checking out the config file and using your OS's search functionality. If you think the wallet might have been deleted, and you had a lot of funds, it might be a good idear to turn off your computer and clone your disk so you have a backup copy, then use a file recovery tool and hope the wallet can be recovered. I checked my browser history. Fortunately I did indeed visit electrum.org. Following the rest of your advise will take some time. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your response. But the folder C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets is empty. Also searched on alternative locations. What is the wallet format I should look for? Is it "electrum.wallet" or something else? In the header of Electrum 3.0.3 is says "Wallet Jaap [imported]" (made a printscreen so I know). Also I don't remember getting or making a seed.

Hi, I just updated to Electrum 3.3.6 and now I can't find my wallet. Just before updating I had Electrum 3.0.3 on screen. I wanted to sell bitcoin. At that moment I was informed I needed to update before I could pay the bitcoin. Last time I bought bitcoin was august 2018. At that time I updated from multibit wallet to Electrum. Where should I look for my Electrum Wallet? Thanks!
