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

Yes if electrum will let you send coins. However, you mentioned having a red disc at the bottom right of your wallet. If it looked like the one in the screenshot it means your wallet has no network connection.



You might be able to fix the problem by double clicking the red disc and unchecking "select server automatically" in the window that opens. After that you should be able to select a server from a list and click the OK button to test if your wallet is connecting to the server. Keep repeating the procedure until the red disc turns green, then you can send coins.

You won't be able to read a seed inside a wallet file if you used a password in electrum version is 2.8.3. Using a password encrypts a wallet file, which makes its stored seed unreadable.

If you left the password blank your seed would have been written in plain text inside the wallet file. A text editor like notepad could have shown it.

You could try creating an offline transaction to send your coins, then broadcast it through a website.

First you will have to change your electrum's settings to manually select the fee you pay (and disable dynamic fees). This website can tell you the best fee to pay.

Afterwards click the preview button when making a transaction.



Click the copy button in the window that opens.



Open this webpage, paste your transaction into the text box, then click the submit button.

That should send your transaction to the Bitcoin network even if electrum can't connect to it.

Does the top of your electrum GUI show "watching only" like in the screenshot?



If that's what it says then you need either a private key, or seed words to create a wallet were you can send your funds. It's not possible to convert a watching only wallet to a normal wallet. You have to create a new wallet using either private keys, or seed words.

You need at least one private key that corresponds to an address containing Bitcoins. If you have more than one private key you can import them all into the same wallet.

I can't advise you about the mobile electrum wallet because I haven't used it yet.

I'm trying to create normal wallet using my private keys right now .but looks like it doesnot work ,could you show me exactly how to use private keys for that ,may be I'm doing something wrong?

[Abdussamad]

it says default _wallet standard

What happens when you go to wallet menu > seed? Is that greyed out too?

The only type of standard wallet with no seed is a wallet created using imported private keys. That is what you have. If you want a deterministic wallet then you should create a new wallet and then move your bitcoins to it:

why when I install electrum wallet it is allways with seed  grey out?

why when I install electrum wallet it is allways with seed  grey out?

How many times have you installed electrum?

The standard desktop software automatically detects old default_wallet files left over from previous installations. The default_wallet file gets written to a folder named Electrum that's in a hidden folder named appdata.
