Hello ,

( I apologise if this isn't the right place to post this )

For the past six months I have been logging onto my Blockchain wallet through Touch ID without any problems . However recently my iPhone crashed/restarted and the Blockchain app asked me for my password which I was unable to find / remember . But I had written down my 12 seed string . After going through the recovery phase (although I didn't verify email?) I was directed to what appeared a new wallet ? Which had a new wallet ID and had a completely empty balance . It appeared as though all my funds had disappeared .This "new" wallet (or maybe wallet ID) with an empty account seems to match my 12 string code? which is what I most worried about . Am I doing something wrong or is there a solution to this ?

Would really appreciate any response Thanks

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

When the wallet was first created? If It was after their HD update (I believe February 2016) then I suggest trying to recover the wallet through Electrum, just make sure to go to options and check "BIP39 seed".

Thank you for you response ,

The wallet was indeed created after Feb 2016 .

I'm sorry but I'm not very good with all this technology !

How exactly would I  go about recovering the wallet through electrum ?, I don't really understand as to why my funds would be in there however I'm sure you know more than me !

Sorry if I'm asking silly questions

Appreciate your help

It's easy. Install the wallet, launch it and choose a name for it. Standard wallet > I already have a seed > type it, choose options and check 'BIP39 seed' and then choose a password and your wallet should be restored. Different wallets uses the same standard for generating private keys and that's why the same seed is compatible with multiple software.
