After re-installing Electrum LTC it have not LTC neither Historial #218

Open jjserranoro opened 5 years ago

jjserranoro commented 5 years ago

Hello, I transferred 0.73 LTC to my linux Electrum-LTC wallet on 6/12/2017.
I checked that the LTC was transfer successfully. Also I uninstalled the Elctrum-LTC wallet and re-install again with the seed I wrote down and everything was OK, I had my 0,73 LTC there.

Today, an after reinstall my Linux 2 moth ago I have installed the electrum-LTC wallet 3.3.4.1 from the same seed I used last time, but this time I have 0 LTC and there is not historial at all.

I don't believe anybody had stolen the 0.73 LTC because it was transferred to my address and still in that address as unspent according to https/live.blockcypher.com.

I am not interested in recover the 0,73 LTC but I would like to figure out what has happened in order to know if I can trust in this wallet for future use. Maybe I have done something wrong (I don't know) so any help is welcome.

Thanks in advanced

After restoring from seed, is the address holding the litecoins present in the Addresses tab?

jjserranoro commented 5 years ago

No, it isnt't. More information; the seed has two extra words, although I tried with and without those extra words

Two extra words compared to what? How long is the seed? Does the address you're looking for start with L, with M, or with ltc1? What steps did you take to restore the wallet?

jjserranoro commented 5 years ago

Hi pooler, With two extra word I meant two custom words. Those words were in the seed since the fist time I created the wallet in 2017.

Yes the address starts with L

To restore my wallet I follow the following steps:

  1. I selected standard wallet
  2. I already have a seed
  3. In the options button I select I extend this seed with custom words.
  4. I write down the twelve word in the main box and click next
  5. I put the extended two custom words and click next
  6. I put passphrase and the wallet is created.

What version of Electrum-LTC did you originally use to create the wallet?

jjserranoro commented 5 years ago

I am so sorry but I don't remember. The only thing I know for sure is the date I send the LTC to the electrum wallet ( 6th of December, 2017) and I installed the wallet the same day. So I guess the version would be the latest on that date.

That would have been version 2.9.3.1. I wanted to try and replicate your situation, so I made a new standard wallet with 2 custom words using the 2.9.3.1 release on Linux; then I restored it from seed using version 3.3.4.1 on a different computer. It generated the same addresses.

Are you sure that you copied the seed and custom words correctly?

jjserranoro commented 5 years ago

Hello Pooler.

First of all many thanks for your time trying to figure out my problem

I wrote down the seed and custom in a piece of paper and also I did a test of unistalling the whole application and then restoring it back with the seed and custom words I wrote down in that piece of paper in the past ( in 2017). Then everything was OK, so I thought "great, the only thing I have to do is to keep safe this piece of paper"

In order to restore my wallet last week I used the same seed and custom words written down in that piece of paper .

Furthermore I have realized that when I type the words of the seed in order to restore my wallet as soon as I type the first letters the application auto complete it with the words availables, so there is a very low probability of mistake.

So, I believe the only source of mistake should be the customs words. I am going to check with some little variations of my customs words and I will keep you informed about the results.

Many thanks
