Title: Techincal issue about forked coins Post by: bitmover on November 06, 2018, 11:37:39 PM Hello,
I would like some help from some more experienced members here... Yesterday I tried to claim some Bitcoin Diamonds from my old BTC wallet (after claiming most of others, i decided to claim this shady fork). After a small research, I decided to give a try to a wallet called Atomic Wallet (http://atomicwallet.io/), which looked like some wallet which would not steal my funds... I downloaded the Atomic Wallet, Then I did these steps in sequence: 1 - Created a new Wallet and copy pasted the SEED (12 words) in a .txt file. 2 - Registered for the Atomic Wallet airdrop (ERC20) and received an Eth address by email. 3 - Imported my private keys from the old BTC wallet. I am able to see the transaction in BTCD block explorer, from my old btc address to a new address. 4 - I saw the balance on my Atomic Wallet. 5 - Closed the wallet 6 - About 2 hours later, I came back to my computer to exchange in Changelly BTCD to BTC. When i was about to open my wallet, I clicked on the installer instead of the installed wallet. 7 - BTCD balance was gone. 0. The BTCD address changed to a new one (this odd wallet does not let me generate new addresses at will). 8 - I decided to restore the wallet using the SEED. Still 0 balance, and the new BTCD address only. 9 - Checked that my Ethereum address is still the same as before the problem. It is still the same address I received in the e-mail. As ETH address is the same as before the problem, I have the correct seed. I Believe Atomic Wallet is not searching for enough BTCD addresses to find my balance. Don't you think? I tried to search for the BCD address using iancoleman.io/bip39, however I couldnīt find any of those 2 BTCD addresses there. Is there a way to use this tool to find those 2 BCD addresses and its private keys? There is no option in his tool to use Bitcoin Diamond as Coin... is there any way around that? Is there anything I could do? Maybe some other software or any python script or something different? It's just a few bucks, but I am intrigued and curious about a solution for this. Thank you. |
