Created Electrum Wallet in Tails, Sent Coins, Recovered Wallet and Now Nothing Inside

So I booted TAILS and created 2 new Electrum wallets configured through Tor and Socks5. Wrote down the seeds to generate the wallets later. Closed TAILS.

Booted TAILS next day and opened wallets. Sent coins from Windows Electrum wallet to TAILS Wallet 1. Saw the coins were outgoing on my Windows and they were incoming on TAILS. Closed TAILS.

Boot TAILS next day and attempt to recover wallet with seed. Indicator pops up saying "No transactions found for this seed." And brand new wallet addresses. Wallet address that I sent coins to not there.

Is there anything I can do here? I tried closing TAILS wallets and restarting but balances both still sitting at zero. It was only $100 so Im not losing any sleep but if someone can help me understand my mistake so it doesn't happen on a larger scale that would great. Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, but this can't happen. It doesn't matter if you're using Tails, Mac, Windows, whatever. Electrum derives the addresses using the same path no matter what. So you have the seed wrong. That's the only answer. Sorry.

You could try taking your seed here to see if you can pull up the address you sent to: https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ Does a block explorer show the funds in the address you sent to? Is electrum connecting properly (green light in the bottom right corner)?

/u/Trappy_Pandora you suck at PR. I can't believe you weaseled this job out of AB.
