I was previously using Electrum 1.9.8
It's been 1-2 months since I last accessed my wallet and I upgraded to the new version of electrum only to find that wallet seeds are longer now and my old seed won't work.

I tried reinstalling the old version of electrum but my seed doesn't seem to be working there either. It's showing no transaction history and no balance.

I have my seed memorized but just to make sure I double checked a paper copy of the seed to make sure that it wasn't an issue of me not remembering the correct seed.


How can I generate my wallet so I can transfer my bitcoins to a newer wallet?
