Ok guys you have to read what i wrote, because i'm repeating the same thing again and again...

You have to admit that you seem to
1) not understanding our questions and not answering them properly
2) tell contradictory stories/information

Yes i have a CSV file of key call electrum_private_keys. When i try to create a new wallet, using the option "importing bitcoin adress", it doesn't work, when i use my file, or when i copy , paste one or several adresses of the file.

The Button "Next" stay gray and i click on it.

Can i use my file to get something on it ? What can i do ?

You should maybe start reading the thread. You question has already been answered the first time:

You can import/sweep all of your private keys into electrum.
Look here for a short guide on how to import your private keys: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/

It seems like you are either a bit confused on how to click on a link and read the small guide for about 3 minutes
or you simply don't understand anything at all. In this case please clarify what EXACTLY you don't understand and/or doesn't work.

We try to make it as easy as possible. Even monkeys could understand this if they were giving concrete information about whats going wrong.

First calm your self.
Second, i answered all the questions and multiple times. If you have any other question, ask here.
There is no contradictory stories at all.

I told you many times what's going on. Do i have to repeat my self again and again ? Which part you don't understand ?
You think this i a good way to help me ?

And yes i wrote the seed and the password on the paper and yes i used btcrecover many times.

Now i'm trying to restore the wallet with private keys and it works but @HCP

It restore a wallet with no balance on it, but there is transactions history. I only used 2 btc adress from the list.
What's the next moove ?

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation

Quote from: moztec on January 19, 2018, 04:19:11 PM

I'm sure I didn't enter a long complex password. Maybe maximum 15 chars long and that's a real maximum, probably shorter.
But I have no idea what the password would be. But I don't think i used anything other than 0-9, A-Z, a-z, and maybe something like an exclamation mark or questionmark... but that will probably be it.

Is there an application that would allow me to brute force this?

I think maybe btcrecover can do this? But is it able to generate all possible combinations for every 15-char long password?
I was unable to find in the manual how to do this.

any help is greatly appreciated!!

With such complex password, I doubt if you will be able to regain access to your coins. That's why it's advisable as simple as possible to ease remembrance.
However, I'd suggest you try btcrecover. You may be lucky enough to regain access if the password is not more than 15 characters.

To recall your code phrase, it is recommended to write it on a separate piece of paper and put it in a distant place of the room away from the computer.

You can't load a CSV file into Electrum... you need to copy/paste either the Bitcoin Addresses (this will generate a watching-only wallet that will NOT let your spend any coins, you can only see them!)... or you copy/paste the private keys which MUST be in "WIF" format... they should start with a "5", a "K" or an "L" and look something like this:

Code:

5J1PVfTB7udG52KQVH5KkdFoTWRhcT6vcQeN7k3b9mcbWhZAiBm
KxA9rVXFky6tJFEVavzqr1jcFq1eePCk2zT3wd8ZgvAUyT998SzD
L1ChtponePMfDRpcBZsF4amXPWZ3cYu48hmkTMaLvzv8gYAp9KQN

When importing the private keys, you must put ONE private key (or address) per line... and NOTHING ELSE, like this:

no other symbols or text, no quote marks or ","s or anything like that, if you do, the "next" button will be disabled:

First, this is ELECTRUM SEED for sure.
Second, Yes i had the same problem on MULTIBIT. I recover a wallet with the correct seed. But the wallet was empty.
I have resolved this problem by finding an old version of my wallet file.
I can't do it for my electrum problem because i dont have an other old copy of the wallet.

Did you import a private key at any moment into your ('lost') wallet?

I know the thread very well. I've already talked to him on Github before this thread here.
And yes, I know that it contradicts his statements but his statements are sometimes extremely strange and / or hard to understand (at least for me).

You are right, there were quite some contradictions made by OP. I also had a hard time following this.
I did not intend to sound harsh. I apologize for that.

Quote from: Near28 on March 22, 2018, 11:40:43 AM

I only suggested it to him because he mentioned multibit now and his story fits in this case, if you restore a BIP39 Seed on electrum and set the wrong Derivation Path you get exactly what he said, No Balanca, No History etc..

I don't think his statements fit into this scenario.
OP mentioned his seed recovers 2 addresses which were inside his old wallet. Therefore the seed and the derivation path are set correctly.
The only guess i have at the moment is that he has imported (a) private key(s). Or he may have used addresses beyond the curreng gap limit.

@OP:
Did you try to generate a bunch of new receiving- (and change-) addresses?
Type this into the console of electrum:

Code:

for i in range(0, 100): print wallet.create_new_address(False)

and

Code:

for i in range(0, 100): print wallet.create_new_address(True)

You may in-/decrease the amount (100) as you wish.

So , my old wallet won't work with my actual password and when i recover it, there is nothing on it.

If you are sure about your seed and it already generated addresses which you have used, then its the correct seed.
The problem is mostly caused by you. You should start answering all questions.. Did you import a private key at any moment into your ('lost') wallet?

Ok, is this a multibit seed?

If yes proceed as follows:

1. Electrum Creat/Restore
2. I allready have a seed
3. Enter your Seed, Click Option, BIP39 Seed, Click Next
4. Change Derivation Path from ( m/44'/0'/0') to ( m/0' ) Click Next
5. Set Password and Restore Wallet

Now you History, Balance etc. should be displayed correctly.

Someone here told me to restore a wallet with my seed and i did. Then, to try to recover some btc adress used and i did find two of them.
When i say no balance , no adress, i mean no balance and no History of transactions.

But when i go to "adress", i find two btc adress who i used to move funds.

So we can tell that Electrum restore 2 of my old btc adress , with my seeds.

I hope i'm more clear now. Do i have to stop asking Dave Recovery service ?

Yes, thank you... that answers what I wanted to know...

Unfortunately, it raises even more questions. It really shouldn't be possible for Electrum to have two addresses that you've used before, and show no transaction history, especially if it is properly synced ("green dot).

I have sent you a PM regarding this.

Thats right. This is the correct way of generating all of your old private-/public keypairs

Quote from: thenarog on March 21, 2018, 07:11:30 AM

An address is not the same as the history of transactions from your wallet client.
Those are stored in the wallet file. Those won't be displayed after recovering from a seed.

Then, obviously, your seed is correct. It should generate all of your addresses used.

There is no sense in asking anyone to recover this since there is nothing to recover.
Your wallet/seed recovery works without a problem.

Again... I am not understanding this correctly. You previously said you were 100% sure of the seed because it recovered an address:

Quote from: thenarog on January 29, 2018, 07:20:15 PM

4 : The correct seed. I even recover one of my btc adress and i check it i can find it on receiving adress. So this is the correct seed.

So, please answer this question... A simple yes or no...

Does Electrum actually regenerate one (or more) of your old BTC addresses when your restore your wallet using your seed? Huh

This is VERY important... Without knowing the answer to this question, we cannot more forward in the troubleshooting process.

I know that maybe there is a way with the master key or something like that, but i don't know how to do it.
