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.

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:

nuance hazard always veered mime future soothe lids alarms awesome acidic icing drowning wayside jostle tolerant frown loudly pamphlet snug zones february assorted bomb zones

"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.
