This means that when you created this specific wallet you imported a master public key such as: Code: xpub6EsWnECvubVW3GTtJNWRonWTykeKaFR3WhdoyPEm3Yf6rUcQ4DhbhpfbQnWzfR6YYkQvh1QRkti1nYYYPjRPRb9T6yCqppZtFhHZeqGYsAU Does this xpub text remind you anything? It could be that the php scrip for the shopping cart gave me a code like that ... to generate a wallet with that?

I select standard wallet.. then it asks if i want to create a new seed.. or restore with a seed.. i select "I already have a seed" then it asks me for all the words.. i do and thats it.. empty wallet If you've ensured that the addresses are legacy (begin with "1"), then you'll have to check BIP39 on the options. (I guess that back in 2016 you wouldn't have any other options like "3" or "bc1") (Extra parenthesis: I don't know if electrum used BIP39 in 2016, an electrum expert could only answer this) Some questions: What electrum version are you using? Did you generate the phrase with electrum? Or with a different wallet software? Can you see the public keys of your addresses? That would mean that you imported a master public key. In order to check if you can see the public keys "View" --> "Show Addresses" -- > Right click on any address and choose "Details". If the "Public keys" input field is empty, it means that you just imported the addresses. Nothing else. Any ideas of how did you end up with a watch-only wallet? If you are the owner of the funds, then you are the one who did this purposely. just tried the new method and nothing so i guess the seed i found is for another waller.. What electrum version are you using? 4.0.9 now Did you generate the phrase with electrum? Or with a different wallet software? electum is the only software i used back then and now also Can you see the public keys of your addresses? That would mean that you imported a master public key. In order to check if you can see the public keys "View" --> "Show Addresses" -- > Right click on any address and choose "Details". If the "Public keys" input field is empty, it means that you just imported the addresses. Nothing else. I can see the public keys of the addresses yes.. Any ideas of how did you end up with a watch-only wallet? If you are the owner of the funds, then you are the one who did this purposely. NO clue how it happened I used to use the wallet there where transactions made

Ok im trying with your method.. and now its asking me to.. choose the type of adresses on my wallet.. options are: Legacy (p2pkh) p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh) native segwit (p2wpkh) witch should i choose?

Did you do that step? Or just chose the default "native segwit"? Quote from: Charles-Tim on March 31, 2021, 07:50:56 AM Also know that watch-only wallet only contain the public key, no private key. To be precise, it just stores the address. Whether the address has revealed its public key or not, it won't show you any public keys on a watch-only wallet. (except if you've imported a master public key) It never asks me anything like that... what im doing is.. open electrum---file--new/restore .. then it asks me for a new name for it... lets say "test" ..then it asks for what kind of wallet i would like..

thanks just checked.. different addresses so i guess different wallets.. thats why the one i recovered with the seed seems empty.. ffff... i guess I lost 5k this wallet was part of a scrip on a site that was linked to a shopping cart and would automatically generate adresses to receive payment.. i dont know what the f i did.. no. the adresses all start with a 1 I think this happened when trying to update electrum from a very old version back in the day

i have several empty wallets on the same folder.. the one thats on "watch only" is there.. when I do the restore from seed it shows seed type: standard and then a totally empty wallet appears with no history of transactions.. nothing like the one thats watch only.. i think it might be something different.. any local file i could search for that might help or something? I honestly dont remember why this happened.. it was like this in 2016 and i simply erased it from my mind? no clue..
