Title: Restoring old Ripple Wallet with custom secret key?
Post by: ObieKind on December 17, 2020, 09:47:08 PM
Hi I have an old ripple wallet that was created on Ripple Trade or Ripple Client platform some years ago in 2014 and having difficulty importing it into a standard ripple wallet. I believe the issue is that the Secret Key is a CUSTOM secret key I created myself and does not start with the typical "s". Because its a custom secret key is there a specific way to restore the wallet? Any help is appreciated!

I have all the information below:

Secret Key
Wallet Name
Ripple Address
Pass Phrase


The custom secret key is 25 characters long and looks similar to the information below:

(Below is example but not real)
Secret Key: $hRc4Wj7S#qOx2EW&b5332P*!
Wallet Name: Richard008
Ripple Address: r*********************************
Pass Phrase: $yUv0Wp$W#kLm3QW@*n9845*

To be honest, i'm not an Xrp user. But i found that you posted about your issue in xrpchat forum (https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/35996-how-to-restore-using-custom-secret-key/?tab=comments#comment-867299) and got no answer.

Doing some researches in that forum, i found that someone had almost the same issue then found solution using Toast wallet: https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/21580-rippexcomputer-crashed/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-319540
The problem with solution is that Toast wallet was shut down and removed from app-stores, but if you can run it using the code [vailable in GitHub (https://github.com/ToastWallet)], i think it should solve the problem.

Note that maybe i am wrong so you may wait for others to comment before trying it.
