I think I found the culprit, correct me If I'm wrong
It happen when you using "Use change address" in the Tool > Preferences
Every time you send or receive a bitcoin the remaining balance will be move to a new address
You can check in the History tab and show details from one of the transaction
In the output part (usually the 2nd line) is your new wallet address
Now the old address that you use to send or receive will be gone, and you can check the new one in the Address tab under the Change > Used ( default hidden ) where your remaining balance are.
Even if you're right and the balance was send to one of the change addresses, the Electrum wallet balance will show the exact remaining balance at the lower left corner but according to OP it shows '0' and there is no history of any transactions, so I don't think that's it.
@OP, did anytime during your usage of Electrum, did you import a Private-key/Address?? Because if you did then storing the Electrum from it's seed won't bring the imported addresses back in a wallet. Also, do you remember what was the last transaction you did? it might help you figure out, where and how much you send and how much was remaining balance in your wallet and which particular address had it.
Edit: I am just wondering is it possible OP while using the Electrum had new addresses which were created as he kept making transactions, and the wallet he restored from seed is not showing the addresses which were created in old Electrum?
wallet.accounts[0].create_new_address(0)
-- this one for address in receive tab.
or
wallet.accounts[0].create_new_address(1)
-- this one for address in change tab.
Try these commands and they might add the address which previously was created in the other wallet and have coins but is not created in the wallet you created from the seed.
Hello im not having much luck with it. I cant access another computer atm to start a new Electrum to try to recover the seed again.
I do remember the last receiving transaction, it was after i withdrew to my electrum wallet from this location when it dissapeared, .New addresses were created as i kept making transactions. I cant put the commands in as there is no tabs in the cloned new electrum.
I have sent an email to
erbium.sytes@gmail.com to see if he knows anything.
Thanks for responses.
