Hi dear Community,

to got straight: I DO NOT have a seed. I also lost my 2FA.

(I reinstalled Electrum on a PC which seemed to have a wallet long time ago, but the /user/appdata  doesn't get deinstalled, so it just used an old electrum wallet again, found out too late about that.)

Luckily i have my password and can extract the private keys.

Any chance to rescue them coins?

Thx a lot Dudes... if there is a savior beneath you, pls leave a donation adress...

Can you click wallet>master public key and paste it here? That'll let us know if there's anything controlled by that one ddress although although without the 2fa it'll probably be impossible.
What did you use for the 2fa? If it was a seed can you try restoring the secret key from somewhere?

Seems i used google for2FA, that must be lost long ago. I can't even remember ever having used google auth. o_O

Delete that!

That post has your private keys. Anything not beginning with a 3, delete from this thread!

I don't think any of those addresses have coins in them.

If you can't find your 2FA code, did you ever back up the Android device, then you'll have lost your keys.

Holy Shid!
I found an old 25-words seed, that seemed to be the right one.
Solution: Encrypt fucking everything and never delete it!

Just for me to know: in this case, loosing your phone meens loosing your funds
cause the private key is pretty useless and the password is nonsens when i use 2FA?

Yeah i noticed those keys have nothing in them after that point.

It's still a good idea to delete those from here just in case anything ends up on them ever. Or make a new wallet since you need a new 2fa wallet anyway now if you're going down that route again.

Anyway it's good to hear your issue is resolved.

What could i do with this private key?
I can't transfer founds without the damn 2FA, right?

No but I'm not sure how the algorithm works and if the two private keys have some sort of resemblance then it's possible it makes it easier to gather you other private keys (while unlikely as that's the point of 2FA to make them two different keys).
Though it's not going to do anything bad to try to remove it and increase your privacy/protection if there does appear to be a way in the future.

There is nothing you can do because your wallet contains multisig addresses and there is more than one private key behind each of them. Your wallet file only contains one of those private keys for each address. So there is no way to recover your funds with just one private key. You need the seed or the 2fa code.

Sorry for your loss.

READ BEFORE POSTING!!!

He's already recovered the funds now just read a few posts above and you'd get this:

It's alright Dudes, don't argue about my stupidy.
And Thx anyway, i just deleted f*ing everything in combination with electrum to never get into this trouble again. ^^

Sorry for the guys who really lost their founds this way.  :-[
