It seems totally broken (and most likely a scam)... I just tried signing up for a "wallet"... they gave me 18 words... VIA EMAIL!!?! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked and I used the password "abc123".

When I try to "restore" this wallet, I copy/paste the 18 words from the email, use "abc123" as the password and I get "The password you entered was not valid." Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

So many warning signs on this site... Undecided

Yaa i also thought so, because if i recover my wallet it is downloaded but if try to download newly created wallets then it says invalid.

Could you walk us through it again. You bought bitcoins somewhere- then sent them to the wallet you downloaded from bitblocks.io (which is probably a scam?), and now you want to access your bitcoins? Is that close?
Right i did the same, but back then it was hard to tell the difference between the wallets as bitsblock.io wallet and bitcoin core are very much same, and i had last used this bitsblock.io wallet in 2015 and till then everything was fine. but when my hard disk had some problems and after that i had changed many computers because of which my initial downloaded software was also deleted but as i had the seeds i didn't worry much until recently i wanted to reallocate the funds.

And i have even checked my addresses in which all the funds are safe, I have no idea whats bitsblock.io is doing but if they wanted to scam me or something they would have moved my wallet balance which is +4 BTC and is still not moved.

On bitsblock.io website initially when we register with our email address and a password then they send us a email instantly which contains 18 words seed and a written sentence "In the event that you lose your password or our service is unavailable, this will be your safety net."

Now when i recently entered my 18 word seed and password (while initial sign up) then they gave me a software link which i installed and the wallet is in sync with the network now but then i came to know that my wallet is encrypted with a passphrase (i had never encrypted my wallet) , and now i had put a lot of guesses for the passphrase even used my initial password which i used to download the software but no luck. I even tried the dumpwallet command which @BitCryptex recommended but as the wallet is encrypted the file is not created.

I think all bitcoin core derivation paths are
Code:
 m/0'/0'/i'
   
So from past few days i have been looking for ways to restore the wallet through the seeds but failed as in electrum the derivation path should be correct, and in order to retrieve the private keys of the address using the seeds through https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases  again the derivation path should be precise, and i read online that we can find the derivation path in the software somehow.

@BitCryptex thanks for the tip, but unfortunately the wallet is still syncing with the network and is around 4 years behind  which means that I have to wait for a while before i can do any transactions, that's why i was trying to recover my wallet with the seeds which they had provided but the only problem is the derivation path, I have been searching for past 3 Days and now i guess i have found a way to get my private keys through my 18 words seeds using https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases, but i am not getting the correct derivation path, so do you have any idea how can i find the derivation path in the console? as the software is 90% copy of original bitcoin wallet

I have been trying to figure out the derivation path for my addresses in bitcoin core wallet but can't exactly find them, i have found some default derivation paths online for bitcoin core but still doesn't work when i recover my wallet with 18 words seed in electrum (with bip39), so wanted to know how can i extract or find the exact derivation path in bitcoin core Qt GUI which i had downloaded from bitsblock.io
