Title: Private key from web.hivewallet.com Post by: altcoinhosting on March 01, 2016, 12:30:16 PM A quick question, maybe somebody here knows.
Nowadays, i have some basic knowledge about security, wallets and the blockchain itself (not an expert tough), but when i first came to this forum, i made my first wallet on https://web.hivewallet.com/. As a result, some of the first staked addresses from my account are created on this online wallet. I'd like to export my private key (i still have the seed + pin), so i can import it into electrum, and use it to sign messages (in case this is ever needed). Does anybody know an easy way to generate the hive private key beginning with the seed + pin? I already searched the forum and opened a ticket, but since hive is no longer maintained, i don't have a lot of hope to get a reply.

Hive Web, Hive iOS and Hive Android do not provide a direct way of displaying or exporting the private key associated with one of your Bitcoin addresses. However, all your keys are derived from your BIP39 passphrase, which means you can use any wallet that supports this standard. We believe that the upcoming Multibit HD wallet will be able to read your passphrase and provide individual private key export. Hive Android Legacy also does not support private key export. In theory you can try to extract keys from the backup file, which is an OpenSSL-encrypted protocol buffers file, but this is definitely advanced tinkering - see this README for hints. Hive Mac supports private key export starting with version 1.4.1 by accessing Wallet > Export Private Key… from the top menu.

I should have found that one by myself :-[
I'll try to use my seed in multibit HD ;D EDIT: multibit HD didn't work, but i found this tool: https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ I haven't been able to get the private key (yet), but maybe i'll figure it out in the future. |
