Same seed from Electrum but generate different Bitcoin addresses I am using Electrum 3.2.2, I have the wallet file generated from Electrum and a password to decrypt the file. There is an error whenever I am trying to send Bitcoin out of that wallet, so I decide to create a new wallet with the same seed.

But with the same seed and same Electrum client version, the Bitcoin addresses in both wallets are completely different, and there is no balance in the newly create wallet.

I have tried to directly import the private key instead of seed to a new wallet, but I am getting a different Bitcoin address as well.

In case there is a solution for the error I mentioned before, here is the message I get:


  error: {'message': 'the transaction was rejected by network
  rules.\n\n16: mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Script failed an

Edit: I have tried to validate the private key I get from Electrum on bitaddress.org, apparently the private key does not match my previous wallet address, there might be some issue with my old wallet file.

Edit2:


I have tried to sign message with the address, but failed to verify with the same wallet file under same Electrum client.
After exporting the seed, and using the seed on a newly created wallet, both the old wallet and new wallet show the same master public key, but with entirely different addresses list.
Moving the wallet file to another computer, using the latest Electrum and decrypt the file shows the same old addresses, but the transaction error persist.


The issue might be with the wallet file. I was using Electrum 3.1.3 to generate the wallet several months ago. I might have used an infected client to generate the wallet file.

Edit3: Forget to mention that I am using portable version of Electrum all this time, and it seems to be vulnerable to attack. 

At the time of me generating the wallet, my computer is only one month old, not a laptop, and the windows os is directly downloaded from Microsoft and is still unactivated. No anti-virus installed, no suspicious programs or files ever downloaded, and has never noticed any weird activity happening in my computer. So, the chance of being infected is very low. 

I believe I am using the official portable Electrum from electrum.org, the wallet file might be modified at the time I generate it.
The problem is properly that you have a different account number because you said that you are using addresses starts with 1 (standard) so Purpose path is 44 and it's Bitcoins so coin path is correct (0)

You have to check that you are using the same account index while you importing the seed.

On your seed path try to increase account number by one and import your seed until you get your coins.
