If your coins were in that wallet when the snapshot was taken, you should be able to claim them... I wrote some detailed instructions (on how to get access to the private keys you need to be able to claim Lumens from an Electrum 2FA wallet) in this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.19853098
As noted, this method is completely untested by myself, as I didn't have any coins in a 2FA address, but in theory it should provide you with the "1" addresses and private keys you need to be able to create the signed message required.
Topic: Restored from seed wallet... (Read 475 times)
Yeah I disabled 2FA when I was restoring the wallet,so that's what he says in short (as mentioned in first post)
Actually, most of these issues could be resolved by ICOs simply refusing to accept any Multi-Sig (aka "3") addresses... how hard is it to add some validation/warning to their websites that warns anyone attempting to use a "3" address that they will be unable to claim their tokens/coins...
Many of the ICOs provide a method to deal with Multi-Sig addresses but it is usually more complex. For Lumens, you need to provide a redeem script instead of signature.
If they don't have a method to claim them, then they should certainly have warnings or prevent funding by Multi-Sig addresses altogether but most do have a method of claiming.

Secondly, there is no point making a new wallet and moving your BTC... the Stellar Lumens "snapshot" was taken on June 26th:
Im trying to get free STR coins but they need a signed wallet ofc.
There was no warning in Electrum that my wallet will be little bit broken after seed restoration.
Well now I have to make new wallet ,move BTC again and pay huge today's comission again.
Firstly, your wallet isn't broken... it is functioning exactly as designed... and they DO provide a "warning":There was no warning in Electrum that my wallet will be little bit broken after seed restoration.

Secondly, there is no point making a new wallet and moving your BTC... the Stellar Lumens "snapshot" was taken on June 26th:
June 26, 2017: We took a snapshot of the blockchain at the first block mined after midnight on June 26th (UTC/GMT). This snapshot will record the coin balances of all bitcoin accounts at that time
So you can only claim using the address the coins were in at the time of the snapshot... If you try a new address, it will give an error:
Multi sig has a place but its widespread use is often misunderstood. Many seek extra security but where a single user is involved with transactions I find that a hardware wallet is easier and less confusing. Not saying multi-sig is difficult because I have used it for "learning sake" on a few wallets. Others can disagree and we all are entitled to our opinions on the matter.

In crypto it is soooooo easy to get ripper for money if you try to move

You have a lot of misconceptions. First of all it doesn't matter what wallet you use when it comes to multisig addresses you can't sign messages with them. That's because a multisig address is the hash of a script not the hash of a public key and there is no established standard for signing with a multisig address. Now you chose to create a 2fa wallet which has multisig addresses. No one forced you to do that. You could just as easily have created a standard wallet and had no problem signing messages with its addresses.
Second by commission do you mean bitcoin network transaction fees? Those are pocketed by miners not Electrum developers. Bitcoin network transaction fees have gone down a lot in the last few weeks so it won't be as expensive as you think.
The only fees that Electrum gets are for 2fa wallet transactions but you agreed to those when you created the wallet.

You can't sign messages with a multisig address (which is what a 2fa wallet address is). There is no established standard for that. If you're trying to claim tokens then search this forum for previous discussions on the subject. Or ask the developers of the token for advice on what to do.
Guys can somebody help me here pls
I restored my wallet from the seed.
I have bitcoins on that wallet and I need to sign it.
Electrum tells me "Cannot sign for this type of wallet"
Then I googled that i Have 2fa wallet.BUT 2fa is disablem and I have this message:
"This wallet is was restored from the seed,and it contains 2 master private keys.
Therefore, two-factor authentication is disabled'
Electrum pissed me off hard this evening
What does he want???
