I can't recover my original wallet. I set up my original wallet through the Monero GUI app where I sent my Monero. I copied all of the mnemonic seed (25 words with the 25th word being a repeat, the restore height name, etc.
I am working with someone of Reddit for the last week and have tried just about everything. The only thing I am managing to do is keep creating new wallets.
When I restore from seed it will not allow me to add the 25 words. If I put all 25 in and go through the process, it tells me "electrum-style word list failed." I then go back and take out the 25th repeated word and it will go through. But all it does is create a new wallet on my desktop with a $0 balance.
I have also tried going back on the restore height and also back date to the day before all with no luck. I still have the original transaction information from when it was completed through Binance. I just can't find the Monero anywhere.
I figured while getting help on Reddit, I would try here also. Thanks!
P.s. I do not ever remember the Monero balance showing in the wallet when I created it. I think the GUI closed and I opened it back up but there was zero balance. Binance accepted the Monero address and said it was completed.
Ok, that does not make sense in two ways.
1. Can you post or check by yourself the transaction on, if it is confirmed -->
https://xmrchain.net/2. Can you verify the address where you sent your Moneroj to from your binance account
3. Have you tried by entering the seed word by word by yourself, hence copy&paste can also produce unwanted sings and/or strings which then malform the seed which by it's nature will not be accepted
4. Restoring from a block height a week before your initial transaction will not hurt you that much
5. Please make sure you are using the latest version of Monero from the official download page with version 0.17.1.9 -->
