Title: How to sweep a private MultiBit key into Electrum Post by: manuzzi on January 09, 2021, 03:34:18 PM I have got a MultiBit key-backup map with the file multibit-201311xxxxxxxx28.key
The beginning and the and of the rows in the .key file are looking like this: U2FsdGVxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxToxPXSx xgFIbGS/hxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx0MeL1rl (the x's are replacement of the original characters) When I run in the terminal: Code: sudo openssl enc -d -p -aes-256-cbc -a -in multibit-201311xxxxxxxx28.key -out encdoutput.txt It returns: *** WARNING : deprecated key derivation used. Using -iter or -pbkdf2 would be better. salt=7DAA3xxxxxxxxE5A key=1ED71A42Fxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx316AEB828 iv =95D359xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx09CAE bad decrypt The content of encoutput.txt shows 64 characters like this: 5ÉäŅŅ8=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxÍŪ^¸ãlÔČĖ]Ûˇ When I open the .wallet file in a hex editor it shows this: 0A 16 6F 72 67 2E 62 69 74 63 6F 69 6E 2E 70 72 6F 64 75 63 74 69 6F 6E 1A 6D 08 02 1A 21 (the beginning of the file in hexadecimal) ..org.bitcoi[Suspicious link removed]oduction.m...! plus a lot of meaningless characters for me in ISO-8859-1 End of the file shows this text: org.multibit.walletProtect.2.....Z"De beschrijving van je portemonnee`.h. I also have a .wallet.cipher file: multibit-201311xxxxxx16.wallet.cipher. When I open it in a hex editor the value begins with "mendoza" I have got the address of the wallet and it is showing some mBTC in Electrum How can I sweep the private key in Electrum?

i am in a very similiar situation. I have some .wallet and .key files, but i cant get Multibit Classic to run and test my password. I tried using the hex method and was able to get the private key from the wallets, but when i try to use electrum, it just doesnt recognize them. Were you able to get your private keys? And what happened when you add them as a new wallet to Electrum? Title: Re: How to sweep a private MultiBit key into Electrum Post by: manuzzi on January 10, 2021, 09:58:10 AM In a hex editor I copied the 32 bits after 08 02 1A 21 to Wallet Details in a local stored version of bitaddress.org-3.3.0.
(I downloaded it from https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org (https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org) ) It generates a Private Key WIF Compressed 52 characters base58, starts with a 'K' or 'L' and Private Key WIF 51 characters base58, starts with a '5'. When a try to sweep these in Electrum it says: "No inputs found". When I import that key beginning with a 'K' in Electrum it generates an empty wallet.

I know this problem, i havent the same Issue yeahrs ago with multibit hd but my luck was i have my seed. So i had the chance to calculate all my private keys with the iancoleman Tool (https://iancoleman.io/bip39/) the only tricky problem was the exchange address in the wallet. the Derivation Path is " m/0'/0 " for normal address and " m/0'/1 " for exchange address maybe this little info will help you?! Title: Re: How to sweep a private MultiBit key into Electrum Post by: manuzzi on January 24, 2021, 05:05:17 PM I succeded to get a working key by using the script from https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover. It turned out I had a typo in my password. Btcrecover found the right one.
Then Code: openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -p -md md5 -a -in multibit.key -out newtest.txt See also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1942459.0 Title: Re: How to sweep a private MultiBit key into Electrum Post by: vanupied on April 12, 2021, 07:15:32 AM Hi, i am in a very similiar situation.
