I've found the transactions by entering btc address, now i'm sure my wallet is empty. I bought 0,04 BTC for 20$ in 2016, if i kept i had 2000 bucks now  Embarrassed
You're not sure about that, since your wallet is standard, your wallet must have used "change address" and that won't be restored in a 'watch-only imported' wallet made using the receiving address.
One of your transactions' output must be your change.

Likely, the seed phrase leads to a different wallet, as said.
Most likely, unless you have set a "passphrase" aka. "extension", "custom word" or "13th word", whatever they call it.

I'm sure just because i remember i made no other BTC purchases beside the amount of the transactions i already found, then no need to investigate further.

Since i have the btc address of that wallet, i also tried importing it to create a read only wallet, but the result is the same.
That makes it very likely there's really nothing on your address. You can enter your address (not the 12 words!) on Blockchair.com to confirm this.

Does your seed phrase produce the same address in Electrum?

Thanks.

I've read many topics about similar issue, nothing seems to apply...
I stored a small amount of mBTC on a wallet on 2016, i'm sure i spended a part of them, but there must have been at least a few residual and at least 1 transaction.
I'm not 100% sure what software i used, but must have been Electrum, so i installed Electrum and restored from seed selecting "standard wallet" and entering the seed phrase (12 words), the result is completely blank (no balance, no history).
Since i have the btc address of that wallet, i also tried importing it to create a read only wallet, but the result is the same.
Beside that previous approach on 2016, i'm completely newbie, then forgive me if my request seems naive...

any idea?
