problem with metamask, i forget two accounts with i have deposited ETH #835
Comments
You're saying you lost access to accounts when restoring metamask with your 12 word seed, which should be impossible. If you're willing to, would you post the first three accounts metamask generated for you, on your old and new metamask? |
I tried, but you generate random account, |
The accounts we generate should not be random. Would you post the accounts we generated instead of the ones you had before? |
0x760986614B73Be2FB2960C3987032a4559f33D25 in ethereum main net |
@christianlundkvist Can you imagine a situation that would cause this? |
0x760986614B73Be2FB2960C3987032a4559f33D25 |
Maybe you could try entering your 12-word seed phrase into another wallet that uses this recovery strategy, like My Ether Wallet or Jaxx. Which accounts do those generate? |
I can try, but I'm not very experienced |
Those are simply two other wallet applications, you don't need previous experience to use them. This is your best shot at recovering your other accounts without giving us your seed phrase to study. |
but the phrase to metamask? |
Yes, MetaMask uses a type of phrase that is very standard, and it is used by many wallets. The recovery phrase in metamask should also work in other BIP44 wallets. |
thank you I try... |
in jaxx i look the two transation were i have send ETH. What I do? |
Oh that's right, I think Jaxx only generates your first account from the seed phrase, so it's not useful for this use. Sorry, try with My Ether Wallet? |
At this address i error find 404 |
https://www.myetherwallet.com/#send-transaction you should be able to check here! |
Weird. I'm thinking of giving him a copy of the dev branch and seeing if that generates the accounts correctly. |
I did not find myetherwallet.com :( i can send you the copy of transation? |
What transaction? I thought we were looking for a missing account or two. |
yes and in this accounts i have sent from polinex some ETH. I think that when i send eth metamask was in morden test network |
@giver75 Are you saying that you used MetaMask, and it generated three accounts for you, but when you restore it with the same seed words the first account is the same as before but the other two accounts are different? |
Poloniex only sends via main-network, so you should be looking at the main-net for your transactions. I wouldn't expect Jaxx or Metamask to show incoming transactions presently, please use a etherscan to see incoming transactions, like here. Anyways, finding the transaction should be secondary to re-generating your missing accounts. |
what should I do? |
I've built another copy of MetaMask from our @giver75 try installing this copy of metamask locally, with your seed phrase. Which accounts do you see with it? For how to install, read this post: |
@christianlundkvist that does seem to be what he is saying. |
@giver75 one more time for Christian, would you confirm that metamask is restoring different accounts than it originally generated for you? |
In Etherdelta say me that Perhaps this is a MetaMask bug after all. The situation is that I have two accounts locked and I ooose my eth. Thank you of all for the support |
Could you link to the Etherdelta conversation that concluded this is probably a MetaMask bug, @giver75? |
@FlySwatter I'm sorry but I can not understand what the problem at this point |
@zackcoburn did you have additional discussion with @giver75 and determine that it may be a metamask bug? |
@giver75 A question that is very important that you have not answered: The two accounts that you locked: |
(Thanks @zackcoburn) |
They were metamask accounts, that when they were no longer visible in metamask I added on Etherdelta them. In either account I made the buying and selling of Plutos, it is now locked. |
@giver75 try selecting the second account, and then selecting "export private key". |
@FlySwatter the same of the first account |
|
I have one outlandish theory that would explain giver's experience, but I really think it's a long shot. First, observations
Wild theoryThis is the behavior that one would experience if they visited EtherDelta with one metamask vault, changed the account one time, then reinstalled metamask, created (did not restore) a new vault. This would suggest there are maybe two MetaMask vaults installed, the original vault was not restored correctly, and the only reason it looks like "the same vault" is because the first account is the same in both. Problem with that theoryEtherDelta seems to always add later vaults below earlier vaults in its account list. For this theory to hold water, giver would have had to:
ConclusionThis is a pretty outrageous theory, but it's my first new theory in a day on this. |
|
So @giver75 you are sure you only reinstalled metamask once? |
not i try many times when not working on the account... |
Oh, so my theory may hold water. @giver75 is it possible that one of the times you reinstalled, instead of entering your old seed phrase, you just created another vault? Is it possible you wrote down the different seed phrase for that vault? Is it possible that this is the vault you ended up sending ether to? |
@FlySwatter the phrase is correct because I had noted on the phone with a picture. |
Please answer: it possible that one of the times you reinstalled, instead of entering your old seed phrase, you accidentally created another vault? |
Not I restore the account with the old phrse. A question, if one sends ETH, to an account etherdelta without having the private key, can not use them even if you display them? |
That does seem to be the case. I think EtherDelta should consider not listing accounts that are not actually available. |
I have Another. The main transfer I paid into the account that still seeing on metamask. Then I passed them on to another account that I have not the key. If they move on metamask other currencies are lost? thank you |
Guys I have the same issue as everyone else. Ended up erasing the extension plugin and then realized I had misplaced the Wallet Seed. I have the Etherium address, the account name and the password. Would anyone be able to help me out! Thank you in advance |
I am on a Mac 10.10.5 BTW Thanks |
Good time of day, it turned out that it was crooked windows and I lost the keywords from my wallet, there is a purse number and a password I remember. Is it possible to restore access to the wallet? |

@225kun225 |
I had to reinstall metamask on another pc, using 12 words, but I lost two accounts where I had deposited Eth and bought Plutos. The two accounts are visible on Etherdelta but not operational because not connected to metamask. Plese help me. Thank you
