It could be that your wallet address is just not displayed in counterwallet yet. Click “Create New Address” a few times to add new addresses to your wallet. I bet the BTC is in one of those addresses 🙂 ---

If you write down your 12-word passphrase, then your funds are not lost. Just login with your 12-word passphrase. If you do not see your wallet address, click “Create New Address” a few times like the above instructions indicate. ---

You most likely misspelled one word. Can be something simple like `sigh` instead of `sign`. Then you log into new empty wallet. If you know the address you can use CounterTools to recover the passphrase. It will find it if 11 of 12 words are correct ---

I did not misspell any word I am copying and pasting them as they were given to me. I have also the disappeared address and its private key. Could this help me to recover my BTC?? ---

With the private key you’re all good. You only have BTC on this address? Even better. You can import it to any bitcoin wallet. ---

I opened my counterwallet and clicked into import funds from another wallet, inserted my private key that contains my BTC, amount of BTC is shown, I clicked sweep and after a while it is giving me this msg: ``` BTC: Funds not sent due to failure. ```
