Do you have password enabled for the wallet? If yes, you will need it to unlock your wallet first.

Press the little sprout on tbe bottom right corner and you should be able to unlock the wallet or see the seed.

But see that my wallet has seed option disabled (and no seed icon on bottom right) so am worried about how I might recover the wallet if I ever needed to

How did you create the wallet? If you chose Standard Wallet and "Create a new seed", you shouldn't have a problem. Did you import private keys into the client?

[leonidus55]

 yes  I chose to create standard wallet and in UC and I didn't import private keys but how can I see my seat anyway?

Click "wallet" in the menu bar at the top of electrum's GUI, then click "seed" in the drop down list that appears.

If "seed" is greyed out in the drop down list as shown in this screenshot your wallet might be watching only.



Is "seed" greyed out in the drop down list in your wallet?

[Abdussamad]

seed option is greyed out for watch-only wallets and 2fa wallets. is your wallet a 2fa wallet?

[leonidus55]

as far as I Know no when I was ask to create a wallet I chose regular wallet not a watch only ,so how can I make a not watch only wallet? I sent money to this one how can I get my btc?

Were you displayed the seeds when you first created the wallet?

Can you go to "send" tab. Does it look like: . Is the "send" button visible?

[leonidus55]

[leonidus55]

so is it possible to find my seed or not? can I recover my wallet on another comp or not.SOMEBODY ANSWER PLEASE!!

[Abdussamad]

what does it say in the electrum window title bar? It should mention the wallet file and wallet type there.

[leonidus55]

it says default _wallet standard

What version of electrum are you using, and where did you download its installer from?

It should tell you the version in the electrum window title bar. If it doesn't you can find the version by clicking "help", then selecting "about" in the drop down menu that appears.

[leonidus55]

version is 2.8.3 download from electrum.org What version would you recomend?

[HI-TEC99]

version is 2.8.3 download from electrum.org What version would you recomend?

That's the latest version that you are running. Did you use a password when you created your wallet, or did you leave the password field blank?

If you left the password blank you should be able to open the default_wallet file in the appdata\Electrum folder and read the seed in it.

To open that folder copy the line of text below, click the windows start button, paste the text into the search box, then press your enter key.

%appdata%\Electrum

Do you think it is good idea to create another wallet and to send money from this wallet to new one with the seed??
