If it does not open the wallet you need and were your funds are, it seems to be useless/wrong  Roll Eyes

Just curious, can you even have 2 of the same words in a row in a seed? Huh

I'd brute-force it, depending on how many XMR were in it. Google is your best friend. Wink

Sorry for the confusion. It is 25 words with (1) word that is repeated. It is the 7th word and 25th word that are the same.

You may find you get a better response over at reddit.

Some of the guys don't come here as often as they used to.

GL sir.

Thank you. I am in a sidebar message with a Mod from Reddit also. He has also been more than accommodating in trying to help me for a week now.

 Does this link allow me to verify somehow? https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.html

I realize the 25th word is the checksum and there is no way I wrote them down out of order. I literally did it while it was still on the screen word by word.

Out of curiosity, did you then delete the wallet, and reload from that seed before risking coins to it?  Call me paranoid, but IMO that should be SOP.

I do not believe so. I created the wallet, copied the seed, restore height, etc down word for word. I sent the Monero to the address listed. Binance confirmed the transaction. When I tried to get back into the wallet it told me incorrect password. I tried a restore from the .keys file, password, seed with no luck. All I had luck doing was making more pointless wallets with nothing in them.

I even looked inside Ledger Live thinking I may have had that opened and copied an address from there somehow. That also was not the case. I honestly have no clue what happened. I know I copied these password correctly and even if I didn't, I 100% know the seed is right. I can't even get the GUI to take the 25 words. Only 24 words.
