Of course I will! Smiley
Had to spend almost all my bitcoins right away, but you'll get the (not so big) rest.
I'm just a poor student after all so that's all I can give, sorry about that, hope it'll do you some good anyway! Smiley

Electrum was installed properly before I reinstalled, now it just doesn't work at all so I moved to Windows. Smiley
Will try to get Electrum running again.

Found out which word was wrong thanks to your list and I'm now running the python script for bruteforcing the seed.
Fingers crossed! Thank you so much! Smiley

/Edit:
It worked! It fucking worked!
Thank you so damn much, I couldn't be more thankful!
This is awesome!

Thank you so damn much, I'll keep you updated! Smiley

Yes, the seeds are twelve words long.
Can one see the dictionary anywhere so I may check if electrum knows the words?
Two of my seeds contain words that aren't English words but names, e.g. "ishore". Is this possible with electrum seeds?

Exactly, no addresses on all three seeds.
Doesn't look good, uh?
I'm cursing myself for not writing down where the seeds belong to.
And some of the words of two of the seeds aren't proper English words at all.
Seems like my own stupidity is going to cost me quite some money ...

You mean this command...?
wallet.change_gap_limit(200)

Ah, sorry, my mistake. Smiley



Alright, I'm going to reinstall electrum now and report back afterwards.

Thank you all! Smiley

/Edit:
Reinstalling didn't change anything about the pbkdf2 error


//Edit:
Electrum does synchronize and I do see the addresses and my balance when opening the encrypted wallet file which contains my bitcoins.
This means just none of my seeds is correct, doesn't it?


///Edit:
Can't start electrum under Ubuntu at all now, so I'm just going to use Windows 7 from now on.

close and restart electrum, you should see 200 addresses in the addresses tabs.

Actually, I see no addresses at all.

Just for future reference, you can use change_gap_limit() instead which doesn't require a restart, e.g.:

Code:
>> wallet.change_gap_limit(200)

Thanks for the hint!
I'm getting this error:
NameError: name 'change_gap_limit' is not defined
after using this command:
change_gap_limit(200)

You can use Windows but re the ubuntu error you should be able to restore using the command line:
Code:
electrum -w /path/to/new_wallet_file restore

Thanks for the hint!

/Edit:
I'm getting this error when using the terminal:
ImportError: No module named pbkdf2


Again, thank you all so much!
You're simply great. Smiley

Thanks for your support, I'll immediately try this out.
Will keep you updated! Smiley

/Edit:
Entering "wallet.storage.put('gap_limit',200)" into the console somehow changes nothing at all - not sure if I'm too stupid to do it correctly, but just typing it into the console and pressing enter seems quite right to me. Cheesy
Please forgive me my noobishness.

//Edit:
Maybe I should note that I am using Ubuntu and restoring the seed does not work (I'm getting the same dialogue twice and an error afterwards, I know this is quite a common error) so I'm running Windows 7 in a virtual machine and try to restore my wallet there. But this shouldn't interfere with the restoring of the wallet, right?
Again, sorry for my noobish behaviour!

Hey guys and gals,

I placed quite a huge amount of money in my electrum wallet I created about a year ago as I couldn't reach blockchain.info yesterday.
I didn't remember I encrypted that wallet and I've got no clue what my password is. I wrote down three different seeds and do not know which one is the correct one. I tried all three of them like a hundred times but the wallets I get are always empty. I'm absolutely desperate and just don't know what to do. I know I lost my money for sure but wanted to ask you if there was at least the smallest possibility of regaining access to my money - I've got the wallet file and I can see my goddamned money on the screen, but I cannot access it. It's driving me crazy and the amount I lost really, really hurts ...

Thanks for your time!
