Once again I apologize if I get any terms mixed up, I'm still fairly new to BTC. So I have a backup phrase and my BTC address where I can see my balance with Electrum. So I don't think I have private key(s) where I believe its more hash generated unreadable.

Any solution would be great from online to software, etc just so I can send to another BTC address that isn't associated with Bitcore.

https://bitcoin.org/
I scan my computer daily is malware and antivirus protection (Malwarebytes  and Aviria)

The 12 words came from backup for the wallet, Bitcoin Core shown red bar showing unsecured, so clicking this and backing up provided 12 words that I found out is called the seed.

So I can see my BTC and nothing else. When I go to import seed with Electrum from the read only wallet "Seed" is grayed out.

If I go to new/restore and create new standard wallet with seed I have from my wallet I have to enable BIT39 to proceed, on the next screen I chose legacy, yet tried others. When I go through these steps I see no BTC balance at all.

Its 12 words all readable, so not private keys that are generated (this I do not have)



Ok so I downloaded it and imported BTC address, yet its only read only ( I can see BTC balance). Now I tired new wallet and import seed yet no BTC is within wallet after entering my seed. So I went to see the read only BTC wallet where I can see my balance yet seed is grayed out.

I also attempted import with 2 factor auth that some others users recommended.

I'm a little closer, meaning I can now see my BTC, I am unable to send funds though only view. Any trick to this?

Hey guys, new to the forum and using BTC.

I downloaded Bitcoin Core for my windows 10 desktop on 12/08/2018 around 10 AM for the first time. I was given a wallet address that I backed up with the verification phrase.

Now I opened Bitcoin core again later last night 12/08/2018 around 10 PM and synchronizing started. It has been snching for 16 hours now. I had to enabled pruning since I don't have enough disk space.

My BTC wallet address is changed, it does not match from the first time, at least when I go to receive to see the wallet address.

so I checked /%APPDATA%/roaming/bitcoin/debug   and my wallet address is not stated in here either.

I may be freaking out for no reason, can someone inform me where my old wallet went to, I sent BTC to this address is why I ask.

I can see wallet.dat yet seeing a new BTC wallet address it might be the new one, not the one with BTC.

So I have the BTC address and recovery phrase for the wallet I need. If sync finishes should I see my BTC balance or have I lost my BTC?
