Well i did just that, and it did not work.
So first of all....
I had an another electrum wallet on my main OS earlier, and i downloaded electron cash to take my bch after i moved btc away from it. So i uninstalled the electrum today so i could reinstall it. But as i installed it, it only opens as electron cash.
So i decided fuck it then, im going to my parents house and download a new electrum wallet there. Well the installer did not start so i could do nothing.
Well i decided il try an another tails USB stick, and il just import the seed there. It says 0mbtc, does not show any transactions. I dont know if it is the wrong seed or something. What the hell should i do now?
You can always try the Standalone or Portable version of Electrum if the installer isn't working correctly. Older seeds should be compatible with the latest versions of Electrum as well.
You'll also need to verify the wallet is fully synchronized as if you just installed it, it may not be. Check for the Green dot in the lower right corner. If it is fully synchronized and you aren't seeing any transactions, you likely have the wrong seed.
