Title: Help send/recover from Multisig wallet
Post by: newmember on February 28, 2016, 11:43:53 AM
Hi all,

I've read the fucking manual, all the FAQs, searched all this forum, sent a message through Facebook. I really need some help from a human now.
I've created a multisig wallet with Electrum. The Public Key 1 was generated by Electrum. For the cosigner public key, I used an xPub from a Blockchain online wallet. And I think here is the mistake I've made. Anyway, now when I want to send funds, I send the transaction to the cosigner, and nothing will ever arrive in my online blockchain wallet, I think it's not even compatible with multisig. So now I'm trying to recover the money locked into the multisig Electrum wallet.

1-I tried sweeping its private key onto another wallet, either an Electrum simple wallet or my blockchain online wallet, it says "no input" in Electrum or "no funds" in Blockchain. Yet I can see the 99.9 mBTC on the balance of the Electrum Multisig.
2-I tried in Electrum the "recover wallet" option using the private key, but by creating a simple wallet this time of cours. No funds are transfered.

Here is my deal: whoever helps me will get the funds locked into the multisig wallet, I don't mind the money, I just want to avoid wasting this money and in the process I will learn about Electrum and multisig. So I can share the private key and even the seed, this wallet will be destroyed afterward, not a problem.

Cheers,

Do you have the seed to your blockchain.info wallet?

If so then send me both the seed to your electrum wallet and the seed to your blockchain.info wallet and I will take a look.

in Electrum, create a new file, select 'restore multisig', '2 of 2'
you'll see a dialog with two boxes.
enter your Electrum seed in the first box, your xprv key corresponding to the cosigner xpub in the second box.

it will create a wallet that can spend the coins without cosigner.

I tested it, to make sure there is no bug:

I even sent btc to and from this wallet, to test the signature; it works as expected.

I suppose that you confused xpub and xprv

The OP sent me the following:

*an electrum seed
*An xpubkey associated with the above seed
*an xpubkey associated with a blockchain.info wallet
*a single private key associated with the above xpubkey

I am currently researching how to calculate the xprivkey based on the above private key (if you know how then assistance would be greatly appreciated).

How is it going? And where did I mess up?

I sent you a PM with instructions on how to get the xprivkey on your blockchain.info wallet. I did not post them here because it is really not having anything to do with electrum, however I can post them if you wish.
