1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Electrum to Electrum - transaction "lost" on: June 22, 2021, 01:14:34 PM
Hello @everyone!
    
     Hope you doing Great.



I've got an issue with an Electrum wallet & with its transaction:

  - In September 2019 I have transfered coins from an
    Electrum wallet on Windows OS to an Electrum wallet on Tails OS
    and the coins got stucked on that BTC address & I can't get it back - I assume that address was created in different derivation path
    transaction ID: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/3eddcdcf82569329f2a110bda01e8dd889afd6df2501638f79fb92a5631e5c6a
    (2nd address in the screenshot) *Fiat currecny is at the time of transaction

  - had created a post on bitcointalk.org (in Spt. 2019) regarding that problem, after some inept tries through the suggestions I've
    got, I failed & leted it go.
    here is the link, in case it helps ahead:
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187469.0
    or check uner my profile



Now, I don't quite remember how & what happend but here is the thing:

 1. I've created an Electrum wallet on Windows & Tails OS (will refer to it as E_Wind & E_Tails)

 2. Did a test transaction of BTC 0.000112 from E_Wind onto E_Tails - I could see the transaction straight away in Tails wallet. Was remarkably for a quite a long time displayed as "unconfirmed" & later on as "not verified" though, but I could see it at least in the wallet.
    transaction ID: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/888f769c2d2585d1d6f0070f11d5820c249aa895fab983ce3eda7e1a667e7308
    (1st address in the screenshot)

 3. Then I did the bigger transaction & that transaction I couldn't see ever since.

 4. Turned out that the E_Tails was outdated but I was unaware of that, & so I tried different options to do something about, like followed the guide lines on tails website:
    to delete the wallet and recover it again

 5. So I did it. Deleted & recovered again - didn't work.

 6. I couldn't see the transaction because I couldn't connect to the servers because it was outdated. Which means I created E_Tails offline

 7. Then I understood that E_Tails is outdated on Tails OS and so I updated it to V. 3.3.8
    And here is where the SH!T starts boiling



 8. Since I've created it offline on outdated version & followingly deleted, as suggested in the guide lines - now that wallet was "gone"!

 9. As the E_Tails was now up-to-date, I wanted to recover that wallet
     Typed in the same mnemonic phrase, as before (when I tried to fix it myself without the guide lines) & now all of a sudden I get a
     different wallet with different addresses.

10. Ever since I type in the seed I always get this "newer" wallet and never the 1st one with the funds!





Here is what I assume:

    The seed has generated in first place a wallet with a different derivation path. The seed has
    generated the wallet while I was offline in Electrum manager - seems like that it was
    generated as a cold wallet/hardware wallet.

Here is why I assume:

    As I type in the same seed in Elcertum wallet & check the BIP39 box & following type the
    derivation path m/44'/0'/0' I get different addresses that I have used, after I updated the
    E_Tails (I see transactions on this addresses), opposed to if I just type in the seed without
    derivation path (there I see only 1 transaction on 1 address).

Here is the catch:

    If I check the BIP39 box and type in any derivation path (I tried planty of them) then Elcetrum
    tells me "checksum failed" & once I go ahead and am already in the wallet: go wallet > seed
        I can't display the seed.
        Where as if I just type in the seed without derivation path, I am able displaying the seed.




The point is - I need the correct derivation path - at least it is what I assume.
Q: How to get the correct derivation path for the 2 addresses where the funds are at?

I tried iancoleman.io - but of course it doesn't work with Electrum wallet, since Electrum does not support BIP39. Thus everytime an Electrum mnemonic phrase is typed in, it comes back with "invalid mnemonic".
There was another good website bitcoinfunction.com Somehow is not around anymore.
Q: Does anyone know websites alike?
Q: Could seedrecovery.py work, does it recover derivation paths? - It helps recovering the seed, but I know my seed, I don't need to recover it, right.




To make something clear: the seed is absoulute correct beacause I've used the same one to recover the "lost" wallet ----before I did the update---- and I did recover!

Here you can see the screenshot with the addresses of the "lost" wallet.



That is the address I need to recover & where the funds are at:
1LP6LQ726YJR9wkPLnHWJEfH335DDuiNtL (in screenshot second from the top)




Shall my assumption be incorrect, you're very welcome telling me what you think but be reasonable - stuff like wrong seed & etc. is out of question!




I appreciate all your contributions!



Thank you Smiley
2  Bitcoin / Electrum / Electrum seeds generated different addresses - address with funds lost! on: September 25, 2019, 11:01:03 PM
Hello everybody,

I created earlier a post "Electrum to Electrum - transaction lost!" please check it out here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187469.0                                                    
or just scroll down in the topic menu



Since now is known

Issue:

The recovery seed has created entire new BTC addresses. The one I sent the funds to, is not included in the list - that means it's a "different" wallet - even though I've used the same seed!


Question:

How can I get funds from the address It was sent to?



Guys I really need your smart tips and solutions!
I appreciate it very much!


Thank you!
3  Bitcoin / Electrum / Electrum to Electrum - transaction lost! on: September 25, 2019, 11:19:57 AM
Hello everybody,

hope you doing great.

A question/issue has accurred regarding Electrum wallet. I made a transaction from an Electrum wallet on Windows to an Electrum wallet on Tails (both are mine) - the transaction DOES NOT show in the wallet on Tails, even though it has now 140+ confirmations in the wallet on Windows.

(23rd of September) 2 transactions were made - none of them show of.

(24th of September) I realized, the wallet on tails is not up to date and so I had to download the Appimage - as it was in the instructions, I followed on the Electrum Website. Now transactions are dispatched on Tails immediately, once it's send.

But the other 2 trans. are "lost" - Where are they, why are they not dispatched? Does it has to do with, me sending it to not the latest version of the wallet? How can I get the Bitcoins?

Phishing or hacker attack comes out of question - because the wallet on Tails is already installed; the wallet on windows I verified.

The wallet on Tails - before I downloaded the Appimage, wallet was always offline. (Bottom left side it says "Not connected" or "Synchronizing").

First I made a test transaction (from Windows to Tails) of €1 - it came straight away. Now a long time past, it couldn't get confirmed on Tails, even though on Windows it had 10+ confirmations. Next day it says in the transaction status on Tails "Not verified" - it wasn't there before!

After I made a test transfer and 2h past and it was not confirmed, I transferred €2.600 (from Windows to Tails wallet as before). This transaction didn't even show of in the wallet on Tails. Until now it's not showing it at all even though on Windows wallet it has 200+ confirmations.

The following only on Tails:
I deleted the wallet, installed it back, many times. Tried to fix it somehow, playing around. Now it doesn't show €2.600, not even that damn €1 transfer, like it never happened at all. I still used the same recovery seed for the wallet as before.


So where the hell are this 2 transfers in God's Name?


Guys, I appreciate very much your time and answer!



Awaiting on your reply

Thank you!
