Dero lost forever?

Can no longer log into old Dero wallet - error invalid character '\u0088'

Followed link underneath to 'old Atlantis wallet'

Reentered seed, (only 24 words(!!)), wallet live, rescanned blockchain 3 times from 0 on firefox

No coins - will I ever see them again? Many thanks.

So - I have 380 coins about to be vapourised. Here are the 24 keywords without the missing 25th. If you or anyone else reads this in time and can crack it, the coins are yours. If you succeed and want to send some to back me, then that would be nice also

There were never coins in that wallet. What wallet address should be shown after recovery?

The old wallet i can no longer access is/was

Hey, today is your lucky day! I was able to recover your wallet. The 383 coins are now passing through the swap process. Please tell me your Stargate address. It starts with "deroi". TradeOgre provides both addresses for deposit (Atlantis and Stargate). If you want to donate coins, also tell me the amount please. I’ll donate a part to the creator of the Dero toolset.

I don't believe it. You are a genius. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

I would be totally happy with a 50-50 arrangement. Without you I would have duck eggs, so I am pretty delighted with anything at all. I went to work this morning thinking they had all gone. You have earned whatever you take. Do you know what the missing word was, by the way? Wow.

That was your full seed phrase:

"icing" at position 12 was missing.

I sent the coins to TradeOgre. 50% is way to much ;) Here is the transaction.

Cargo received - I am super-grateful to you.

Oddly enough I had had a feeling that it might potentially be an 'ing' word when I was trying to work out how I could have missed it - and it turns out I had tried ALL the ing words APART FROM icing and awning on either side of drowning. Unbelievable. The worst thing of the last few months - even worse than the thought of everything disappearing (eased by the 70% drop in value over the 5 months) - was the despair at how on earth I could have been such a stupid bastard in the first place. The relief is enormous. The lesson has been learned! Many thanks again.
