how to open the wallet in the text editor?

Simply right click the wallet file, select "Open with" and choose the Notepad or any other text editor.

But please, answer my other questions. Search for the address on the blockexplorer to see if the balance is there and tell me how the addresses look like before (right now on your Electrum) and after the import with the private-key.

Yes I checked in the Blockchain and it's empty. I opened the file in the text editor but I did not find anything seed or xprv.

first of all to be sure you have the correct Electrum wallet and not a malicious one you must verify its digital signature with the correct public key of the developer. checking your history,... is not a proof!

as for the failure to broadcast that transaction, it is simply because it is an invalid transaction and the server error is pretty clear. it is most probably because the public key provided inside the scriptsig is not the same public key that exists in the scriptpubkey (the hash of it) which is why it fails on OP_EqualVerify step.
try signing the transaction with the correct private key instead!
and if you really did that, then post the raw transaction here and i can tell you exactly what you did wrong.

give me your contact please in PM.

I tried this method but when I export the private key and import into a new wallet, the wallet is empty. Balance 0
Please i need help.
Thanks!

1. If you search for this address in a block explorer, do you see your balance, or is it empty? Try it: https://live.blockcypher.com/
2. How does your address look like? It starts with a 1, 3 or btc1? And after you import the private key, do they look the same way (starting with 1, 3 or btc1 just like your current wallet) or it's different?
3. Click on Wallet -> Seed, see if your seed is there. If it is, copy it and create a new wallet by restoring it with it. If it's not, try opening your wallet file in a text editor and look for "seed" or "xprv".

Do you have an address where coins are stored? If so, try exporting the private keys and install a fresh wallet. Import those private key into the new wallet.
Have back up of the wallet file, don't do any silly mistake if you have such numbers of coin in reality.

You didn't say if you had updated this or if this was a fresh install, here is a link to a thread with the same error- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/electum-wallet-issue-5159481

It seems like their issue was down to trying to use an incorrect bitcoin core wallet dat in their electrum file section (I'm pretty sure) Have you ever had an install on this machine previously?

With the keen eye of TryNinja this seems to be your issue. Now I am just stuck wondering if you're a whale and truly have this large coin amount.

I do not think it works with BITCOIN CORE.

Yes it is the balance of my account electrum and the name is wallet.dat.
If you help me I will give you a lot of Bitcoin as a reward.
I promise you.
I need your help Please.
Thanks!

Are you 100% sure this is an Electrum wallet? If you're not, try downloading Bitcoin Core and using it with it.

I also find it hard to believe you have $3,6 billions in BTC, but maybe you're an escobar?

Hmm... so... do you really have a balance of 331831 BTC in your wallet? Something doesn't seem right here. Where did you get this wallet from?

Is this really an Electrum wallet? I see it has a ".dat" extension (or that's just its name) on the wallet file, which would be a Bitcoin Core wallet.

I downloaded a new electrum.

But what can I do to send a transaction without error?

Thanks for your help.

Where did you download the electrum from? It should NOT be asking you for you to reenter your seed, that seems EXTREMELY suspicious to me. Is this using a hardware wallet or is it a standard digital wallet where your coins are held?

I download electrum on the official website of electrum and it is a standard digital wallet.
Thanks for your help.

Are you sure? Check your history, did you click a link or type it in? If you typed it in are you sure it was spelled correctly?

If this is just an error, what changes have you made since installing? Any changes in the settings? Did you click any options? Things like that will need to be known to further help.

Yes I am sure and I did not click on any link. I do not know where the error comes from.
Please help me!
