Okay, how about the other addresses, are they the same as the addresses from your newly restored wallet?
No, not at all. This are different addresses, entirely
:
electrum/issues/5082 (
the corruption bug) and the replies.
If it's really what happened and you've sent the bitcoins to the corrupted wallet file, then the partial solution to this is to restore that wallet file using a file recovery software.
And that would be a problem depending on where you've installed Tails and if it's been active since the incident.
But the real problem is if that recovered wallet can spend from that address, because based from the "
issue", the corruption will produce different addresses that aren't covered by your master public key.
Means that your seed can't derive the right private key(s) to spend from them.
- You can try to restore all available possible wallet files in "
wallets" folder and get all of the wallets' seed phrase, then use your 'E_Wind' to restore each of them.
One scenario that the corruption bug might happen is when you created the wallet while the "
default_wallet" is still active.
Newbies usually create a wallet during Electrum's first "
Install Wizard" which is actually wallet creation window, prior to creating his official wallet.
Note: in case of no-recoverable funds, Electrum developers aren't liable for the missing funds (
damages), it's in the software's
licence.
