@Ren1895 do you have a 81 trinity seed? or do you have a 24 words mnemonic?

I also meet this issue now, I have the 81 character but don't have the 24 words mnemonic, with firefly-desktop-1.7.2.AppImage, this support restore wallet with the seed, but will show a network connection error.
And version firefly-iota-desktop-2.0.3.AppImage not support restore wallet with the seed any more, how can I find my funds?
Thanks!

The network got recently upgraded so version 1.7.2 doesnt work anymore as it is not compatible with the new network protocol.

About the 81 chars seed migration, The current ability to auto-migrate tokens from the pre-Chrysalis IOTA network via the Firefly wallet have been stopped with the IOTA Stardust upgrade. Once IOTA smart contracts are available on the IOTA network, this feature will be restored and migrations can be processed automatically again.
We will provide a migration tool to resume legacy migrations, but its not finished yet
Firefly is not intended to provide migration anymore, but it will be a different tool. The Foundation will notify it when the tool is ready 🌷

@begonaalvarezd
This thread was one of my first search results when googling "iota seed restore". So this thread already is, or might become quite relevant to redirect these kinds of questions.

• Where should end users looking for ways to recover "old" IOTA seed wallets/funds go? (url)

@begonaalvarezd I am in the same situation and I really need the migration tool. I'll keep an eye on this thread and hope that the tool will be available soon. Thanks!
