Title: Recovery of BTC from CoinPocket address
Post by: Colm5 on December 29, 2017, 02:02:28 PM
Hi,

I'd be very grateful for any assistance.

I put BTC on coinpocket on an iPhone a few years ago. I don't have the phone, but have the coinpocket address.

Are these retrievable ? And how would I go about it?

Seems like coinpocket its self is no longer downloadable too.

Thanks
Colm.

If you do not hold the private key there is nothing you can do

I googled a little bit and looks like CoinPocket is now Qcan[1]? I download the app and when creating my wallet, they asked me to save my "Qcan Key" (15 words) which it's a seed that gives you access to your coins if you lost access over your account. Did you save anything like this when the app was called CoinPocket?

I have the encrypted key also, in BIP 38 format

Can this be used to retrieve it ?

Yes if you have the passphrase
