Issue with wallet, restoring from seed creates a new wallet.

did it give you a master public key?

did it give you a master public key?

yeah, it did. but didnt generate any keys that i have.

can you send it to me, let me see if i can see any balances

ok, did you set the gap limit enough though?

[jonald_fyookball]

Mushroomed,

do you know a single address associated
with this electrum wallet?

Brute forcing for a single wrong word
will be easy, but if you don't know
the address we would have to check
balances using some API.

If you do know a single address,
we can write a simple loop to
go through 19,512 iterations
of wallets and see which seed
will generate the address you have.

yeah, i know the addresses. I can still open and see all transactions for this wallet, just cant decrypt it

[jonald_fyookball]

ok , im writing a loop to try to brute force the seed
assuming one word is wrong...

do you know how many receiving addresses you used?

Enjoy!

Let me know if that helps Mushroomized.

Hmm it doesn't seem to be working. I think that the seed I have written is incorrect in some way, not sure how though. I appreciate the help though. I think im "Pretty Screwed"

doesnt work , how so?

Is my tool not running?

Look for misspellings, words that seem to be similar, Anglicised spellings, mis-ordered words, plural words (shouldn't be any), etc. that may have happened when you wrote it down.  You could probably write a little program based on jonald's tool that would re-arrange or use similar words until you got it?

Good luck.

good advice. 

i'm trying to determine if he even ran the tool.

Oh sorry, I ran the tool. What I mean is I think the seed I have is not correct at all for my wallet for some reason. I know there are no misspelling or plural words.

I think the question is did you run the second tool created by jonald_fyookball which assumes your seed is off by one word, and tries all possible seed combinations starting with that assumption (and takes a few hours to complete).

right...the second tool should go through all the iterations in about 5.5 hours and should spit out data to the console...
it will either say WOW FOUND YOUR SEED , or just go through all the combinations...let us know.

Also follow the previous suggestion of checking for plurals...

Unfortunately I can't really write another tool to brute force if words are out of order,
as 12! =479,000,000 combinations... will take too long.

EDIT: I suppose all combos of the 12 words aren't necessary.
Maybe we can just see if any two words are switched.

[jonald_fyookball]

Mushroomized,

When you run my second tool...

do this first:

Go into your Receive tab on electrum, and click on the "used" tab
inside the main window; you will see all of your used addresses.
Use the first receiving used address as your "clue" in my tool.
That way we are sure to look at the right address clue.

[Mushroomized]

I don't think the seed it gave me is the right seed at all and running the tool is not giving me any results. To state my issues again...
Im typing in the password I have used to create the wallet, the seed it gave me seems to be for a completely different wallet all together.

When I use my password, I get strange results like


when trying to retrieve the key

and


sometimes when trying to send a payment

Please verify that all 12 seed words are in the
electrum dictionary and are spelled correctly.
