hello can you start again from the beginning? do you remember having an electrum wallet in 2010?
the seeds you have are in v1?
but the seeds you have open an empty wallet?

Yes, all u say is exactly correct, i do remember i had some wallets around 2010 probably end of 2010. I thought its 2009 but no, long time i ve been thinking it must be q4 of 2010. So whatever we talked about that in this forum some months ago. U can examine the details.  nc50lc shared the link in first page

If yes then you could have a blockchain.info legacy wallet. This is a non-hd wallet and the mnemonic is used as a password reminder.
As far as I know, seed phrases generated by blockchain.info wallet from that list contains 16-20 words.
As OP's seed phrase includes 12 words, I don't think it can be generated by blockchain.info wallet.

are the words in the mnemonic in this list too:

https://github.com/blockchain/unused-My-Wallet/blob/master/mnemonic_words_v3.html

If yes then you could have a blockchain.info legacy wallet. This is a non-hd wallet and the mnemonic is used as a password reminder. You will need to enter the mnemonic on this page here to get the password:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/forgot-password

You will also need the wallet UUID which is a long hexadecimal number. You can find that by searching your email archives for emails from blockchain.info. You can then login here:

https://login.blockchain.com/#/login?product=wallet

If you can't find the UUID try using an email address instead.

It doesn't make any sense to delete the wallet as 1) you may remember your password suddenly (human memory is sometimes like that),
2) if your wallet password wasn't too complex it might be possible to crack it, especially if you remember parts of it (there are lots of tools for that, hashcat is one of them)
3) it's almost always a mistake to not write down a freshly invented password, even if you only tweaked your personal favorite password somehow for your wallet (or whatever password creation procedures you use; humans are usually terribly bad to create good passwords)

Did you make a screenshot of your 12 mnemonic words of your Trust wallet, a digital copy of it on a internet connected mobile device?
Terribly wrong procedure and good look with the security of your wallet in the future. Oh, don't cry later should it get suddenly emptied after you put some funds into your mobile Trust wallet. (If you made a screenshot it likely got already distributed to some cloud services who do unknown picture screening by their so-called picture recognition tools to identify picture content, tag pictures, you name it...
The wallet was deleted in 2019 and there is no way to restore it! Even on Android sends? But they are checked by a robot, not a person? I read an article that a married couple who stole bitcoins worth several million-billion dollars kept a private key in the cloud and nothing happened to it

Did you have a lot of bitcoins in your wallet? Are you sure you didn't have a dream?

If you were extracting individual private keys, that might have been the wallet you used.  That could explain why your seed phrase doesn't restore anything when restored in Electrum.  Armory does use seed phrases, but they're not Bip39 compatible.
Armory gives you 18 sets of meaningless four-letter words which is called root key.
Given that OP has a seed phrase including 12 words, it can't be generated by Armory.

hello have you tried armony wallet?

Is that a typo?  Do you mean Armory Wallet?

No never heard of it, i look for desktop wallets around 2011

I think he means Armory Wallet which was first released in early 2012.  If you were extracting individual private keys, that might have been the wallet you used.  That could explain why your seed phrase doesn't restore anything when restored in Electrum.  Armory does use seed phrases, but they're not Bip39 compatible.

Any empty wallet would erase the transactions in history if its not in use? Empty no funds untouched wallet?  Like 10 years? Or transactions must shown up all the in the wallet whenever u open?
Transactions are recorded and stay in the blockchain forever.
If you don't see any transaction, it means that the wallet you opened has been never used.

Hello guys, i want to ask to old people who follows bitcoin since the beginning or anyone which has a knowledge about.
What kind of desktop wallets re using in that time? What were the wallet names for windows? With the 12 mnemonic seeds

Thank you

12 words seeds only began in 2013 in bip 39 standard
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0039

This isn't true. Very early version of Electrum (0.X) on 2011 already generate 12 words by default. I made a post about it few months ago at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.58942538. But OP should already know about it.

What am i doing wrong

You misremember detail of how you manage your Bitcoin.

For reference, OP already tried various old versions of Electrum before the compatibility-breaking updates and failed to restore the correct wallet.
Here is his old thread: Trying to restore my wallet from 2009 or earlier


Thank u for the info bro u tried to help me a lot


At the end of my searches and tries, am gonna think there is invalid seed that i dont know the reason or my electrum modified with someone else but i do remember i exactly downloaded from ecdsa. However did anybody rescue any bitcoin with btcrecover especially v1 electrum?

No, there must be something inside, at least the wallet has to show the transactions.

Last time i ve reached my wallet like 2012 summer, the pop up message like “update the electrum copy the private keys” its even showing what i ve n all transactions, so i left it as it is

I just wanna be sure if its electrum or
If Anybody see the topic and used to use electrum 2010 to 2012, in console tab its showing donators how much they donate the server n with their names, does remember this thing please light me up

It doesn't matter what software was used to create the seed in the past.  If it's a valid seed, then you should be able to restore your wallets.  As I recall, Electrum was in development as early as 2011, but the first release was in 2013.  The most widely used wallet during the time you're referring to was bitcoin core.

Have you tried to restore the seed in the current version of Electrum?

Usually the first things that are shown in the Electrum console tab is the text banner response from the Electrum server to which your Electrum wallet connects. That might include some details you remember, usually a donation public address and maybe as motivation attempt what amounts have been donated by others. And whatever the Electrum server owner deems fit to let his peers know about.

Bitcoin qt is not working with seeds i think in that time.
Right. Even now, bitcoin core doesn't support seed phrase.


All of my attentions re on electrum somehow.
If all words exist in the old electrum word list, there's a big probability that the wallet has been generated by electrum.
Maybe, the wallet hasn't been funded at all and that's simply why you don't see any balance.
