Hi,
I hope someone can help, i've lost 150USD due to stupidity on my part, i'm looking for some help to see if I can get it back.
I created a Electrum wallet on my old machine (did not realise it was on v2.6) and transferred BTC to it from exchange. I did not realise at the time the wallet was not actually connected to servers. So the address I created and sent it to was never 'registered/published/requested' from blockchain I guess.
I've not been able to get v2.6.4 to connect to any servers, and since realised the version it too old. I've had to install electrum on a newer PC, so I can install Electrum 4.0.4 which connects immediately.
But how can I re-create the receiving address in my new electrum wallet, and will i be able to retrieve the money I sent to that address?? Or is it lost?
The wallet was not online at time of creating receive address, but I have all details of 2.6.4 wallet - keys, history, seed, password. Although it never connected to network/blockchain - can i transfer these details so I can receive the funds in my new 4.0.4 wallet on new machine!
Really appreciate some help, really could do without losing that money!
Thank you in advance,
