Title: A question concerns how to recover an old private key komodo?
Post by: darktor on April 24, 2021, 09:00:37 PM
I currently own an old private key of the first blockchain network on the komodo crypto is how to format it in current version? It is no longer supported since the crypto changed following a hack

Unless you're able to find a binary executable floating around... you'll probably need to try and build your own version from the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/Agama

Noting that:
- There seem to be various "security" warnings about this wallet
- The codebase hasn't been updated since 2019

Is that a text or a file?

What does it look like? Maybe this tool will work https://www.bitaddress.org/ if it's a text try to paste it under wallet details it will show you different key format.

Thank you :). Yes, for the date You have to be careful because the antivirus may also block if there is not a leak.

It is a key with numbers letters WIF

Bitaddress.org won't help you... that is for dealing with Bitcoin keys... you really need to try to track down an old "Agama" binary (or somehow get the code to compile and make your own).

Without that, you chances of being able to convert your old key to the "new" key format are probably relatively slim
