Can't find wallet after recovery

Open Uypflo opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hello guys,

I want to help a friend who doesn't find his Bitcoin after recovering his electrum wallet.

Is it possible that when you use your 12 words that some wallets are getting lost?

We see that the Bitcoins are still on the blockchain in the wallet but we can't find the adress in the electrum app. How is it possible that electrum is not showing the wallet?

This is the Adress we don't find after recovering: bc1q9y2jmzsm5q7mtfpxl4v5qxpj2crf200c9kx6cl

Use your 12 words with another wallet or try different derivations.

Try different derivations in Electrum or try Ledger Live with the HW wallet or Exodus,

Was the seed originally generated using Electrum? When you restore it using Electrum, what does it say for "seed type" just under the textbox where you write the seed? See: seedtype
