Title: bitcoin secret key 24 words , what coins do I have ?
Post by: MH79 on May 05, 2019, 10:03:10 AM

Hi,

I forgot what coins I have stored in the past on my ledger nano s. Is there a way to check fast if there still coins "on my key" ?

I do not want to install and check thousand of different apps ..

What safe wallet supports the 24 words and show immediately all the coins?

I am afraid that you have to go one by one. You will not get anything from the 24 word seed.

There are not thousands of app. Max I will guess is 50 (?) So, take it easy :-D

You can always try https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ if the seed is bip39
Select different coins and see on the explorer of the coin if it has something in them

If you used few addresses or know which ones had any coin during forks, there are websites that check for forks in specific addresses. Unfortunately, I don’t know any they checks for the entire backup seed (that would possibly be unsafe as well).

Electrum from electrum.org will let you restore a wallet from a bip39 seed (which is what you have there). Here's (https://bitcoinelectrum.com/restoring-your-standard-wallet-from-seed/) a guide. Be sure to pay attention to the notes in step 4 and 5.

This link may help with the recovery process: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005297709-Export-your-accounts (https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005297709-Export-your-accounts)

Expand "Instructions" for the step by step guide on how to import the SEED and the list of compatible software wallets (just 7 examples, pick one).
Expand "Generate private keys (advanced)" to find the instructions on how to extract the private keys from your SEED to be able to use it to any Bitcoin wallet with import prv key function.

This wont help much but here's the list of supported coins (check if it ring a bell):
Ark
Bitcoin
BitcoinGold
Bcash
Dash
Digibyte
Dogecoin
Ethereum
EthereumClassic
Expanse
Hcash
Komodo
Litecoin
NEO
PIVX
PoSW
Qtum
Ripple
Stealthcoin
Stellar
Stratis

There is no wallet that supports all of those coins I believe. Like it or not, you'd need to manually export the key, find the associated address and use explorer for each coin that Ledger support to see if there's any coin on your address.

You might finish checking them in a few hours, it won't take days if you're focused doing that.
