I lost my bitcoin

[sokani]

I havel, just a small amount of $30 in my bitcoin wallet Electrum.
They are in there since 2017.

I lost the password and the 16 words to reactivate my account.

It is not that much money. But is there still a way to get my coins?

Sadly, there's no way. Your seedphrase is your key, and if you don't have it then you don't have access to your funds. But who knows... Luck might smile on you some days and you might find it in a place you least expected. Just as you have been advised, you really need to be careful next time and keep your seedphrase somewhere very safe. Imagine if the $30 worth of BTC, was something you bought around 2010 or 2011? It was have been worth a fortune and I doubt if you would have been your real self.

Electrum in 2017 did not generate 16 word seed phrases. The seed phrase would have been 12 words long if Electrum generated it itself, or 12/15/18/21/24 words long if you imported it from somewhere else.

Regardless, if you don't have it then it is useless to you. Your only other option will be to bruteforce your password, but this will only be possible if either you can remember some information about the password or you used a very short and weak password.

Since quite some time the default number of seed recovery mnemonic words that Electrum shows you to backup your wallet is 12, not 16. In recent post others told you that already. You may have used the optional feature of an additional mnemonic passphrase and devoted 4 additional words to that. It's something that only you can know, though.

Unless you wrote down the recovery words and can find them, there's no way with the available energy and computational power in our solar system to recover your wallet.

I wrote the seed phrase down. But no idea where I left it.

With self-custody comes some responsibility, too. You should avoid such a situation of not knowing where you left your mnemonic words backup. It shows you have no idea of the importance of those mnemonic words, regardless of the stored value.

You need to more careful about transaction. And for cryptocurrency market anyone need proper knowledge about cryptocurrency. Without proper knowledge anyone cannot gain from here. And they will fall in scam. And will loss valuable fund. You loss $56 but i think this $ teach you to careful. If you learn properly about cryptocurrency market and carefully handle this currency you will be profitable feom this market. But if you will be unable to learn properly you will be losser from here. So to avoid loss from here you need knowledge about cryptocurrency market.

You can't loose something that you likely never owned in the first place. Not your (private) keys, not your (own) coins. As simple as that.
You likely had no contract or something similar.

You threw money at someone you didn't know or had a contract with. There were transactions in 2010 of which you likely don't know whom they belong to, nor do you have any possession of those coins, simply because you don't have any private keys for those addresses.

The coins are now worth a fortune, yes, that's why you hold on to it and can't let go. And you still believe you have some sort of rights to those coins?
Wake up from you dreams. You very likely have been scammed in the first place and you never had any ownership to those coins. Period!

I can't even imagine op getting his coin back after so many years of this transaction and he noe came back after many months to claim his coin which it is obvious that the amount if Bitcoin is lost forever. Since the cryptocurrency market is anonymous, how does op thinks that he can get his Bitcoin back when things already gone wrong many months ago.
 Not your key, not your coin! It is just like when an centralized exchange lick your crypto asset and you are coming here to complain after so many months of getting your coins back when it is obvious that when you don't have a key to a house, then you can't have access to it. Very clear!

... -> do you have a privatekeys or maybe part privatekeys of it? to submit as proof?

Please, do not ask other users to disclose private keys or parts of it as for almost any valid reasons this is bad practice and habit. In the OP's case he never had any coins which he claims to own on one or more of his own addresses and thus he obviously doesn't have any useful private keys. Private keys are obviously never to be shared in the public, so just don't ask for them!

I completely understand how concerned you are about scammers, but I assume I lost all my data, including email
You are connected to recover lost or blocked accounts. I gave it the user to look up the account and it didn't give me an email, but it didn't respond to me.

[Cricktor]

I'm not sure if I understand properly what you wanted to say. In this forum in user settings it's possible to block to receive private messages from Newbie accounts as spam is more likely to come from those. But I assume that you would've received some sort of error message if that were the case for you.

It's unlikely that other users here would give you their email address. At least I wouldn't do that.
