how can I restore my address with a balance with these data? My private key is from address p2pkh: and starts with letter K
If you have a private key then you can create a new wallet and import it through the process. Open Electrum, then on the top menu bar click "File>New/Restore." On the window that pops up, name your wallet, then click Next. On the next page select "Import Bitcoin address or private key." Enter your private key on the next page, click next and follow the prompts to complete the process. If you already have a wallet that was generated using this method, you can add another private key with these stips: On the top menu bar, click on "Wallet>Private Keys>Import" then enter your private key in the popup window. i did that, BUT it's wrong because my output paths don't match, neither does the private key to the address. I have to create a wallet with a withdrawal path suitable for a private wallet, because initially electrum creates it differently, I need m/0/58

but when restoring via xpub and xpriv, I see the same wallet as from the restore seed balance 0 and a small part of my wallets with old transactions, all my wallets start from 1
If you're seeing some of the transactions, then you are likely on the right path here. It could be that you're only seeing some of the addresses that have transactions because when you restore an Electrum wallet from seed you'll only see the first 25 addresses in the wallet. To see the other addresses you'll need to increase your gap limit. That might help. Open your console and use this code to see 100 addresses. Change the "100" to whatever number you want to increase the number of addresses visible. [wallet.create_new_address(False) for i in range(100)] Other than that, I think LoyceV is right, and you could have had an extra word or seed extension that you may have forgotten about. I found entries in the form of a wallet address, a private key and an output path like m/0/58, how can I restore my address with a balance with these data? My private key is from address p2pkh: and starts with letter K

Its not at a specific line just search in notepad (ctrl + f) the word "keystore" without quotes Or look manually through the file to find if it contains any extra private key in the form

I did as you asked and I see a lot of private keys, labels in the labels section, I tried to save just private keys and import them for recovery, but it only restores those addresses from the seed https://ibb.co/NZWwD5m

Not sure if electrum ever allowed this kind of mix (HD and privkey) in the same wallet but if that did happen it was a very long time ago. if thats the case which i highly doubt, just open the wallet with errors (in notepad) and search for this "keystore" you will find your private keys there, if you cant find that string you can mark it as 120% fake wallet
explain step by step where I should click and where exactly to look for it, how does it look at all? Open wallet dat with notepad and which line to look for (send a screenshot of the example), my wallet dat file was really created a long time ago

In cases like this restoring the seed phrase is the usual solution, but since it only restores the old transactions, I'm thinking that the newly generated addresses which are the funded ones are somewhat unrelated to your wallet. However, upon checking the master public key, it appears that there are very old funded addresses sneaked into the wallet file which aren't related to the master key. The interesting part is, if you enable " LabelSync" plug-in ( Tools->Plugins->LabelSync (restart)) there'll be lots of notes in each transactions containing private keys and " I am satoshi" and " JeffreyLee" notes. You're satoshi, right? No seriously, I find it difficult for a regular user to add his addresses' private keys as transaction labels. What are our next steps to resolve these errors?

i really dont think you have any funds in that wallet. the errors you are having with wallet_1.dat is because the wallet itself was modified by somebody and included those old addresses with funds (only addresses not the private keys). also from your screenshots you have a balance of ~ 0.1 BTC in that modified wallet and you are offering 1BTC for 0.1 ?? something is not adding up.
do you see all the addresses in the screenshot? I have 104 addresses, can you solve my problem? Then I'll wait for someone to help me, we have an empty conversation? I have more than 1 bitcoin, I left such a large reward due to the fact that I am in a hopeless situation

what i'm saying it's that it is impossible for this to be an authentic electrum wallet because in your screenshot you have addresses "derived from the extended public key" from 2010. In that year electrum with it's extended pubkeys was not released and bitcoin core didnt have this functionality.
somebody correct me if im wrong
I described all the errors that I have. I have more than one file on hand, I have also repeatedly said that xprv, xpub and seed give me something other than the wallet_1.dat file with errors. Perhaps an older version of electrum will help me? I don't understand what you mean, am I able to restore the file from what I have or not?

@LoyceV i just thought that you misread his message, thats all ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) @m1kmrt it doesnt really matter if you are a newbie or veteran here, but based on everyone experience lot's of new people come here to ask for help for fake wallets (which they bought) . but whats really strange is that you posted a screenshot with this address in your wallet 1FpqQnKQCgDkJFMC94JL8FpRyHTZ3uRVZ1 but is not derived from that xpub (tried over 50 derivation paths with like 1000 addresses) Also that address has a long long history (back in july 2011) and from what i saw electrum was released in november 2011 //edit also your second address ( 1JtpgqCf3SSeCeYWEDJjkfYFH7Ruhy4Vp1 ) dates back to december of 2010, really weird Did you transfer your funds from bitcoin core to electrum? I don't remember what I did in 2011, maybe yes, I also mined in 2011-2013, but it doesn't matter. All that I have on hand now is wallet_1.dat, daemon, config, recent_servers, blockchain_headers, these files were in the folder that I extracted from electrum on an old laptop and transferred this whole folder is called electrum_data

you said that the last time you used the wallet was maybe in 2019 but you have outgoing transactions in 2020 / 2021 and 2022 and indeed this wallet is empty. are you sure this is the correct wallet and that you weren't hacked during this time?
//EDIT DO NOT EDIT THE WALLET NO MATTER WHAT!!! do you still have the original one on the old laptop?
@LoyceV he said that he didn't buy the wallet
i meant that i used it in 2019 on an old laptop, after that i transferred it to another wallet along with other files (just transferred the folder) and it did not give these errors even in 2022, in 2023 i bought another laptop and transferred the folder from files on a new laptop, as I did in 2019, installed electrum and go to the wallet and it gave these errors. On an old laptop, I deleted everything and sold it a few months ago. Yes, I am sure that I was not hacked, because the last laptop was completely removed and no one knew about the existence of electrum, no one could steal my bitcoins. I'm telling you, when you open wallet dat, it gives these errors that are in the screenshots, connected to the Internet, addresses and bylans are also my old ones
As far as you all know, I would not have these files if I just bought a normal corrupted one date wallet file So you bought a scam-wallet with additional files. You're wasting everyone's time. @LoyceV he said that he didn't buy the wallet That's such a weird and oddly specific thing to say for a Newbie with a problem ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) that I'm newbie does it matter? I turned to the forum because I did not find a solution to my problem on the Internet, what would you do in my place? Are we here to argue or try to solve the problem? I am even ready to reward the person who helps me because I am in a hopeless situation

thats weird indeed something is wrong with your electrum wallet for sure. can you share an address with a balance? if you right click on your wallet (electrum one) and select open with "Notepad" do you see that address there
also from where do you have wallet.dat? i have read the full topic but didnt understood what that file has to do with your electrum wallet file which doesnt contain the extension .dat did you name your wallet "wallet.dat" when you have created it in electrum?
can I somehow manually delete those line lines that give errors? Are there other ways to recover? If opening a file with notepad helps me somehow, then let's do it together step by step

Initially, since the creation of my electrum wallet, I used only the wallet.dat file when opening electrum, I never opened my wallet on an old laptop using a seed or a private key, after transferring my electrum folder with blockchain headers files. wallet.dat and others that I described earlier on a new computer, it began to give these errors, yes, I called my wallet like that, yesterday I tried to restore it again as they wrote here using btc core and it just can’t be read, I never used this file in other wallets, I only used it in electrum. I can rename it whatever I want.

if the wallet is not password protected just open it with notepad or use this command to display the xprv in console getmasterprivate()
WARNING!! do not share your xprv with nobody
I did what you asked for and the wallet opened the same as after the restoration of the seed, why do I see the same thing in the restoration of xpub, seed and xprv? And when opening wallet dat with these errors, it’s different, in wallet dat I have 104 addresses, and in seed and xprv xpub I see 82 addresses and no balance, with old transactions, the last time on an old laptop that has already been sold, I used the wallet in 2017-2019 and it never gave me these errors. To be honest, I already agree to anything just to restore access to my wallet, maybe opening wallet dat with notepad will help me somehow? The wallet dat file itself is also large in size.

you can also try to import the xprv key directly just copy the xprv key in electrum chose File -> New / Restore Select standard wallet After that select "Use a master key" Paste your xprv key in there and thats all it should work without any problem
please tell me which command through the console will allow me to extract xprv

I am not going to deceive anyone here, if you do not know the way to solve my problem, then there is no need to worry.
OK. As I said, your wallet file is probably corrupted and that's why you get that error when trying to make a tranasction. It's possible that the xpub and xprv you have in your wallet file are wrong and your addresses can't be derived from them. Don't you get the following error when you open the wallet? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F08%2F09%2FGcKJN.jpeg&t=665&c=I4fy7Wkd29ExWA) yes i have this error I open wallet dat and immediately gives errors "electrum\gui\qt\main_window.py", line 507 , in load_wallet File "electrum\util.py", line 469, in do_profile File "electrum\wallet.py", line 3324, in try_detecting_internal_addresses_corruption File "electrum\wallet.py", line 3329, in check_address_for_corruption but when restoring via xpub and xpriv, I see the same wallet as from the restore seed balance 0 and a small part of my wallets with old transactions, all my wallets start from 1
I have blockchain_headers files with a size of 46 kilobytes Are you sure you don't mean megabytes? I tried restoring via private keys, but generally gives out other addresses with a balance of 0 Where did you get those private keys? I tried to restore using a seed phrase but gives me wallets without a balance and with old ones transactions, that is, the balance is 0 Are those transactions coming from the addresses you thought had funds? If so, your wallet if empty. If not, you have the wrong seed phrase or you may have to "Extend this seed with custom words" to get to your other wallet.
It helps if you write a clear overview. It's hard to read if you throw everything in one very long sentence.no, it's really that big, can this file help me somehow? As far as you all know, I would not have these files if I just bought a normal corrupted one date wallet file, I'm trying to restore access to my wallet, as I wrote earlier, all my addresses that I see in the file give an error with a balance starting with 1 and these are indeed my addresses.
In general, I found my file on an old laptop with an electrum folder, I have several files and one of them is my wallet.dat 24kb in size, it has a lot of addresses with my balance, but more on that later, I have blockchain_headers files with a size of 46 kilobytes. config 1 kb, daemon and recent servers. My mistake is that on the old laptop everything worked fine by opening wallet dat and displaying my bitcoins, but in the latest version when opening wallet.dat it gives errors when opening File "electrum\gui\qt\main_window.py", line 507 , in load_wallet File "electrum\util.py", line 469, in do_profile File "electrum\wallet.py", line 3324, in try_detecting_internal_addresses_corruption File "electrum\wallet.py", line 3329, in check_address_for_corruption
The error message is cut-off, there should be a final message saying the actual issue like " electrum.bitcoin.InvalidChecksum: calculated..." What does it say? But it usually happens when your master public key is invalid or other corruption-related issue. How old is the wallet exactly? and when sending a transaction: the error Script failed an OP_EQUALVERIFY operation
This doesn't normally happen since a corruption usually renders the master private key invalid which will result with a different error when sending transactions. Since it passed and proceeded to sign the transaction with the wrong key, the master private key is valid but it's not related to the txn's input. For the record, you're the second one to report this in bitcointalk and with the exact same " wallet.dat" wallet file name. Since you insist that it's not bought or tampered, it may be a new attack to edit wallet file contents to the attacker's addresses or scheme of fake Electrum wallets, or just a " lucky" corruption which resulted with a valid master private key. IDK. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fibb.co%2FF0Wzhq9&t=665&c=JWBC1rZT3iZPKQ)

In general, I found my file on an old laptop with an electrum folder, I have several files and one of them is my wallet.dat 24kb in size,
Wallet.dat? Wallet.dat files are for bitcoin core, not electrum. and when I enter wallet dat and with these errors, electrum shows my old normal balance, but I can’t withdraw bitcoins because of these errors,
The error says that you are signing your transaction with a wrong private key. You have purchased the wallet file. Am I right? If so, the seller gave you a corrupted wallet file and you have been scammed. Someone created a similar topic reporting the same error when trying to make a transaction. [HELP] Electrum script failedThere are two scenarios: 1. You have been scammed. 2. You created this topic to sell your cornuted wallet file and scam others. no, I said I have an electrum wallet, I tried recovery using bitcoin core and bitcoin cash (all these wallets give an error that this wallet belongs to electrum), bitcoin core simply cannot read it, this wallet has always belonged to me. Does Electrum create a default wallet according to the standard? I just renamed it. After all, I said that I have not only a wallet dat file, I also have files that I wrote about at the beginning
nothing changes, if I try these paths, then my balance is 0 and in general I see all these addresses for the first time, they have 0 transactions. If I restore the wallet without a choice just using seed, then only a small part of my addresses with 0 balance and very old transactions are restored, I also tried m / 0/2 as I wrote above and also did not work. Yes, I have a seed and I try everything with it, because I see the seed with the help of wallet.dat which gives a transaction error, but I also see private keys with it and all my transactions, I wrote about this abovemy problem is that using wallet dat i can't send transactions due to errors, even when opening electrum it gives errors like i wrote above
As you can see old transactions, you are in the correct wallet and derivation path Try this code in the console. wallet.change_gap_limit(100) See if the balance shows up. Try this in the wallet where you see old transactions i tried it now in the wallet where my balance is 0 as you asked, in this wallet my addresses are not visible with the balance that i see in the date wallet, it has a balance of 0 and only some old transactions are visible, transactions of those addresses that i see in this wallet this is just a small part of my addresses that are in the date wallet, there are no addresses with a balance in this wallet, i also tried this in the date wallet and it gave me the same balance as it was before (not equal to 0) but I can’t withdraw either because of errors, electrum has resynchronized >>> wallet.change_gap_limit(100) True can a blockchain header file help me? it is very large in volume, but I don’t even know its purpose
In general, I found my file on an old laptop with an electrum folder, I have several files and one of them is my wallet.dat 24kb in size,
Wallet.dat? Wallet.dat files are for bitcoin core, not electrum. and when I enter wallet dat and with these errors, electrum shows my old normal balance, but I can’t withdraw bitcoins because of these errors,

I am not going to deceive anyone here, if you do not know the way to solve my problem, then there is no need to worry. I can provide any information and perform any action with the wallet that is required of me to regain access to my funds and reward the one who helps me, thank you

when i go to electrum wallet settings information seed aviable true (standart) keystore type bip32 derivation path m BIP32 root fingerprint d045d4d9 script type p2pkh and when i click on any address from those that have a balance, for example one of them shows the output path m /0/2 and I have a private key from this wallet, but when it is normally imported, it gives me a balance of 0 and the wrong address, what should I do with this, help me in more detail, unfortunately I can’t send screenshots on this forum
To do so you need to restore using the seed phrase. You said you have the seed. Create a new wallet, select I have the seed, and then try all paths. Did you create the seed (originally) using electrum? If so, do not check bip39 seed Guide heere https://bitcoinelectrum.com/restoring-your-standard-wallet-from-seed/![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcoinelectrum.com%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F06%2Fwallet_type.jpg&t=665&c=fFsKsLYzRPqDzQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbitcoinelectrum.com%2Ffiles%2F2017%2F07%2Frestore-seed.jpg&t=665&c=Rs-CBGbGEqYUPg) nothing changes, if I try these paths, then my balance is 0 and in general I see all these addresses for the first time, they have 0 transactions.

There are a lot of scammers here, and you should have only public discussions. It looks like you have the private key, but your balance shows zero. Do you remember which were the first characters of your addresses with balance? I believe you are having a problem with the derivation path. You should try derivation path for all 3 main address formats Create 3 new wallets, one for each of these derivation path and see if it works ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F2vqb45iep6n11.png%3Fwidth%3D603%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dded2617247e56113fb307e07353121610c763825&t=665&c=EBbDEXVXgQNDjw) where should I click so that I get a selection menu like in your screenshot? all my addresses start with 1 and their private keys are L or K
