2481  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Problem: No seed, no 2fa, with password and access. on: November 22, 2021, 02:40:33 AM
-snip-
I don't agree. Paying a third-party service to give you the right to use your own money. Smells like your typical bank. He should get rid of that wallet and create a new wallet where he alone has access to the data that allows him to spend his bitcoin. The other reason why he shouldn't use that wallet anymore is because he will be paying more in transaction fees because it's a multisig.
It's far from a custodial service though, because TrustedCoin doesn't have access to his funds since they only have 1 master private key in their server.
For full custody of the funds, it's still in the user's control since the two master prvKeys and the master pubKey (of Trustedcoin's key) are in the seed phrase.

So I can agree with hosseinimr93's first suggestion to jotaemeese, only if he still wants to use 2FA
and willing to pay for their service (which I don't think he's aware of).

unfortunately its a different wallet. I hardly used them myself so just a FUBAR ordeal ..
Okay, so I assume that the Multibit wallet backup is corrupted then, because you wont get that error in Electrum with any other private keys aside from the four mentioned above.
2483  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Get master key from 128bit on: November 21, 2021, 02:10:26 AM
what I need to fix in these two lines, to get the master key (deterministicKey) if I do not have string bip-39 at the entrance
 i have only 128 bit number -snip-
I don't need to receive Seed. I need to get a master key (deterministicKey) from a 128-bit number
There's no shortcut to this since the entropy (128 bit number) needs to be a 'UTF-8 normalized' mnemonic before you can get the 'binary seed'.
You'll need to do the above to convert it into a mnemonic, then use the result to your code.

what do you think about https://www.walletrecoveryservices.com/

What data do I have to provide?
The service has quite the reputation and the user has positive ratings as well: walletrecoveryservices
There's also a link to their 5-star Trustpilot review page: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/walletrecoveryservices.com

For the data, it depends on what they'll ask you but the whole portfolio plus a list of possible passphrases should be enough.
2485  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why the receiver doesn't get any bitcoin on the balance if sendtoaddress or send on: November 20, 2021, 12:33:57 PM
The transaction needs to have at least 1 confirmation for it to be included to the getBalance command's result.
2486  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Multibit issue - invalid EC private key scalar: zero on: November 20, 2021, 08:23:00 AM
-snip-
nope its a different key .. but indeed  the same error ..
How about 5Km2kuu7vtFDPpxywn4u3NLpbr5jKpTB3jsuDU2KYEqetwr388P or L5oLkpV3aqBjhki6LmvChTCV6odsp4SXM6FfU2Gppt5kFqRzExJJ?
Those will produce the same public keys as the private keys I listed above, and also the same error.

I haven't used MultiBit but I've heard that they've got a bug regarding generating keys outside range. (if not, it's from a different wallet)
2487  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Multibit issue - invalid EC private key scalar: zero on: November 20, 2021, 04:23:40 AM
Are you perhaps importing the private key:
5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAbuatmU or KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU73Nd2Mcv1?
Because it's the uncompressed and compressed WIF format of the invalid ECDSA private key 0x00.

I got the same error when I tried to import it to Electrum:
2488  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Problem: No seed, no 2fa, with password and access. on: November 19, 2021, 02:59:50 PM
Unfortunately, those private keys are only 1-out-of-the-2 required 'private keys' and 1-out-of-the-3 required 'public keys' to re-create the MultiSig addresses of that 2fa wallet.
Without the seed phrase, there's absolutely no way for you to spent your funds without the intervention of Trustedcoin (Electrum's 2fa service provider).
The wallet file only has one key, they have the other key, your seed had two keys.
If he has the seed phrase, he can easily bypass TrustedCoin key and use only two of his keys to spend from the wallet, it is a special setup in a way TrsutedCoin key can be bypassed. If it can be like that, he should be able to make use of his private key to spend his coins, I have not tried it before
-snip-
Unfortunately, he doesn't have it, the wallet file also doesn't contain the seed; otherwise, it defeats the purpose of a 2fa wallet.

In his previous thread, he mentioned that he got the private keys from the wallet.
All those are generated from the master private key that' saved in the wallet file which is only 1-out-of-the-2 required keys to spend from it,
he needs the second set of private keys generated from the 2nd master private key from the seed or the 2nd master private key itself.
He can't just simply pair the keys the he got from the wallet file to regenerate the addresses.

Code:
p2wsh:Kz89M5YVDYv1KnzLMvLqfKKdJY2wn94DKyrPHJmkJR7GWR8Vs79B

I think he should be able to make use of this 2-of-2 private key to spend his coins.
That won't work, Electrum doesn't have a method on importing individual keys for MultiSig address nor supports a "p2wsh:" prefix for PrvKey import.
2489  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Problem: No seed, no 2fa, with password and access. on: November 19, 2021, 02:08:13 PM
I had a reply to your previous thread that was deleted (prob. because the OP isn't English),
Since the contents are similar, I'll just repost my reply here:

I have the private keys, obtained from the wallet itself
Unfortunately, those private keys are only 1-out-of-the-2 required 'private keys' and 1-out-of-the-3 required 'public keys' to re-create the MultiSig addresses of that 2fa wallet.

Quote from: jotaemeese
Anything you can recommend to me to mobilize those funds?
Electrum wallets wont suddenly switch between standard->2fa.
My guess is it's just simply a different wallet file (File->Open to select);
Or you might have initially created a 2fa wallet but never really spent funds before so it never asked you to enter a 2fa code before.

Anyway, if your funds is in that 2fa wallet and you have the email address that's used to register to Trustedcoin (during the creation of the 2fa wallet),
then try to contact them using that email explaining that you've lost the seed phrase but have access to the wallet and email.
I've seen successful recoveries using this method before.

-snip-
Many recommended not to do this because it completely voids the security and purpose of having a hardware wallet so its better to sweep to hardware wallet than importing the private keys.
You cannot import private keys to a hardware wallet (or at least with Trezor and Ledger).
So you actually don't have a choice but to sweep, maybe that's why "many recommended" it than import.

Although your message implies you may have plugged it in occasionally? Huh
Yes but not-quite-occasionally,
I've been plugging it once or twice a year to check the contents for possible corruption.
2492  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger wallet technical issues - Can't send any crypto. on: November 18, 2021, 04:00:13 AM
I tried different amount and not one works... Only really low amounts works (0.0005)
This honestly sounds like it could be a "large number of UTXOs" issue. The Nano S is notoriously problematic if you're trying to sign a transaction that includes a large number of inputs. It'll take a long time for the transaction signing to complete and/or time out etc.
It worked at the end after updating 'Ledger Live' so it may not be the case.
He mentioned it in his last reply (the arrangement of his sentences is confusing):

I use the latest version of live with nano s on Win10.
-snip-
I finally successed to send my btc high amount finally. But so much stress...
2493  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Another recovery attempt on: November 17, 2021, 12:18:35 PM
I just notice another thing. In the transactions for the addresses checking https://www.blockchain.com/ i notice that the payouts from slushpool are dated 2011. While in slushpool(mining site) they are dated 2014. Weird. -snip-
You can check the "block height" where the transaction is included.
That way, you can get a close approximate of the txn's date based from the height even if blockexplorers' dates wont match;
In blockchain.com, it is labeled as "Included in Block".
2494  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Passcode Length on: November 17, 2021, 04:15:22 AM
Just wondering if, way back in the beginning, passcodes were ever 10 words instead of 12? Thanks.
Passcodes?
  • BIP39 "Seed phrases" doesn't always consist of 12 words. It can be 3, 6, 9, 12, 15..... but not 10 since the entropy wont be a multiple of 32bits.
  • "Passphrase" for Brainwallet can be 10-words since the input's number of words is irrelevant.
  • Or are you thinking of a specific wallet/client with 10-words backup?


For questions like this, it's better to be posted on "Beginners & Help" board instead (link),
I'll also ask a mod to move this topic to that board.
2495  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory Wallet 0.93.2 PROBLEMS on: November 16, 2021, 01:28:59 PM
-snip- Although i don't know whether option "Help > Clear All Unconfirmed" exist on newer version of Armory.
The option is still available in version 0.96.5.
However, he used a new Armory installation and just imported the wallet/root-key so the wallet is already rescanned for balance and it ended up empty.

Thank you for the reply, -snip-
You can still try the latest version before throwing the towel, there could be an issue with v0.96.
As you can see in the note on 0.96's download page: www.bitcoinarmory.com (old Armory website), the latest release can now be downloaded from btcarmory.com.

Upgrade to the latest, then use "Help->Rebuild and Rescan Databases";
if still empty, try "Help->Rescan Balance" for the last time.


-snip- OP's image has been also taken in 2015.
Nice observation Wink
You can tell based from "390371 blocks", I see.

Here's a still unexplained instance back in 2015ish when I opened my wallet to find I had 184467440736 Spendable BTC... a big WTF from me, too, for obvious reasons.
That's quite...
There's a limit on how many Bitcoins that will be generated which is very close to 21,000,0000, your balance was way beyond that.
Obviously, there's something wrong with that instance.

-snip-
I have a new computer, I downloaded all of the blockchain, and I proceeded to download the new 0.96 version of Armory.
The actual latest version is v0.96.5 from btcarmory.com.
Anyways, since it synced, and the balance is 0, then the balance is actually not surprisingly zero.
You can try to install the latest version and rescan and rebuild Armory's database (it wont resyc Bitcoin core).

What happens if you use their "Device Change" link in their webpage?
It's only requiring email address, then some sort of "Voice Verification" as stated in their user manual: abbccoin.com/Aladdin_Pro_Wallet_Manual_English-v2.pdf (Pages 35-39)
2498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin core - transaction bug and related balance error on: November 15, 2021, 12:22:00 PM
Now the balance result is correct, and only the dates on the last transaction do not match.
-snip-
Maybe it has something to do with the first or other logics of "Smart Timestamps":
github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/wallet/wallet.cpp#L2380-L2396

If not, it could be related to the "wrong timestamp" bug when using -rescan:

2499  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to select BitCoin address for receiving money? on: November 15, 2021, 05:46:31 AM
I particularly dislike the Receive tab because it has caused a lot of confusion among newcomers with its "request payment" feature that expires.
I see where this is coming from.
It's a matter of preference though, but I'd always suggest newbies not to use the advanced features such as hidden tabs or console.

 i would like to meet one of the 20 bitcoin co-founders or bitcoin custodians today.
Bitcoin has no custodian since it's a "decentralized digital currency" which is held by every nodes in the network.
No one is in full control of the blockchain.
