1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Can't get my old XVG Electrum wallet back 'alive' on: February 25, 2021, 03:14:15 PM

In 2017 I had an electrum wallet (2.4.1) for my XVG coins (Called Electrum-XVG). When I run it now, it doesn't seem to connect to any server (found multiple server addresses on various forums, but none of them worked): all I get is a red dot. When I install the latest version of electrum (via 'official site' in Electrum, it then redirects to vergecurrency.com), it doesn't re-create my old wallet with my seed phrase AND it seems it only works for bitcoins now? I run it on a different computer now then when I created first installed the wallet, I just copied the electrum wallet folder from my old pc (2 years ago) to my then new pc.

I tried installing electrum on my Android phone, but that one doesn't like my seed phrase, because my seed phrase has words which are not correct? My electrum seed phrase has 9 words. I understand that the word list is a limited list of words, and when I want to enter my first word, after entering the first letter, it disables some letters, I guess because with those letters it is not possible to create a valid seed phrase word. However, the second letter of my first word actually IS one of those disabled letters.

Reading more abot the seed phrase, I read a lot about 12 words en 24 words seed phrases but not about a 9 word seed phrase.

I also have an Exodus wallet from about the same age, with that wallet I did manage to install it on a new computer with the seed phrase.
