Comme j'ai perdu la trace d'une transaction depuis coinbase à bitcoin core
on m'a conseillé d'installer Electrum

Salut !

Est-ce que tu trouves quelque part le txid (identifiant de ta transaction) du côté coinbase ?
Et surtout, ce que tu as essayé de faire avec bitcoin core, j'espère que tu as encore tout les fichiers ?

Chose que j'ai fait, mais en commençant par créer un wallet en important l'adresse de la transaction que je cherche, j'obtient alors un wallet watch only et je vois bien ma transaction. Mais pour le moment je ne peux rien y faire bien entendu.

L'adresse que tu as utilisé en sortie de coinbase, est-ce bien l'adresse que tu avait dans ton bitcoin core ?

Si oui, peut être que je peut t'aider à récup' tes fonds. Smiley
Tu peux me contacter sur Telegram (@yogg1) (c'est pas moi qui te contacterai en premier // gaffe aux escrocs qui te disent que c'est moi)

Bonne chance en tout cas !


Hello Yoog & saint-loup

Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses.

Je vais vous expliquer un peu l'histoire du début c'est peut être plus clair. Pardonnez moi si je dis des bêtises car je n'ai aucune connaissances plus que débutantes dans ce domaine :

Un beau jour, ayant besoin d'un peu d'argent pour transférer au market place. Du coup j'ai commencé par envoyer X bitcoin de coinbase à bitcoin core.

Ce jour, mon grand ordi étant en réparation, j'ai décidé d'installer un nouveau sur mon portable pour récupérer cette somme. Request fait, somme débité de coinbase, juste Bitcoin Core qui sync et demande plus d'espace de stockage. J'ai copié alors le dossier BITCOIN (dedans il y a le wallet.dat) sur un disque dur externe et diriger le stockage vers là. Tout va bien. Sync continue mais ça allait me prendre UN MOIS. (0.14% par heure environ).
Mon grand ordi de retour de réparation, du coup je me dis que je vais me remettre dessus pour gagner du temps (wallet déjà existant).
Ce que j'ai fait par précipitation c'est de remplacer le dossier BITCOIN du wallet de mon grand ordi par celui du disque dur, je ne sais pas si c'est là où ça a posé problème ou pas, mais du coup, je pensais logiquement que ce wallet va être remplacé par le nouveau qui vient de mon ordi portable qui galère toujours. Une fois relancé avec le nouveau dossier bitcoin / wallet.dat, la syncho reprend et repart assez vite. Mais une fois fini, pas d'argent, balance 0.

Lu sur les forums, des gens disent d'installer Electrum, qui est apparement mieux, en plus, on n'a pas a attendre longtemps. Du coup je l'ai installé et en suivant une espèce de tuto, j'ai créé un wallet "import, watch only" pour voir mon transaction avec l'adresse du bitcoin à laquelle j'ai envoyé. Du coup je les vois bien. mais ensuite je ne sais pas quoi faire pour avancer.

Entretemps, je me dis je vais prendre le temps pour comprendre, en attendant, je m'envoi une autre petite somme Y bitcoin vers ce nouveau wallet. Le truc, c'est que j'étais dans un wallet watch only, et j'ai copié l'adresse "RECEIVE" de cet wallet sans réfléchir, que je sais après, c'est l'adresse bitcoin que j'ai utilisé pour trouver la transaction de X bitcoin que je trouve toujours pas.

Du coup maintenant je vois un nouveau balance dans ce wallet, pas de X bitcoin mais de Y. Avec sans possibilité de les envoyer.

Je suis retournée au bitcoin core, essayer de retrouver la private key avec cet fameuse adresse, j'ai obtenu donc un private key.

Dans Electrum, j'ai créé un nouveau wallet (wallet 2), où j'ai importé ce private key.

Balance toujours 0

Voilà où j'en suis. J'en peux plus lol. Huh

J'espère avoir bien expliqué mon problème, si jamais vous y voyez plus claire que moi.

Je vous joins la capture que j'ai des wallets

Mille mercis

(Juste avant ça, j'ai perdu une somme envoyé à Empire Market aussi, je n'ai pas eu le temps de comprendre pourquoi non plus, mais ça me fait 3 transactions perdues pour le moment, je suis un peu deg...)

P.S if it is a watch only then why can i generate receive address ?
Below is my screen :

You aren't "generating" a new receive address... you created a watching-only wallet that has exactly ONE address in it... you can actually see the address list in the background of your screenshot... it only has ONE address in the list. If you goto the "receive" tab, it will show you that address and ONLY that address. The "new" button will be greyed out, preventing you from generating a new receive address.

So, the important question is... From which wallet did you originally get the address "1DzUpRzr93r3EizQW58GDamgwgwAiZ2Vyc" from? Huh

If that was from your Bitcoin Core, you should be able to follow the instructions the others have provided for getting the private key that corresponds to that address.
If it was from somewhere else, then you need to advised which wallet it was from so that the appropriate instructions can be provided.




the 1DzUpRzr93r3EizQW58GDamgwgwAiZ2Vyc was pre-filled in my receive tab at receiving address.
So if i get i, the address is there because of my previous import bitcoin address from bitcoin core.
You are right, the address is still refilled there. So If i still get it, I used by accident an address used on ready on one transaction that i'm still looking for.(7.01508)

I have followed nc50lc's instructions to get the private key from bitcoin core with this address. Create a new wallet "import key", all ok but no balance if i don't miss anything.
capture on this link, in the bottom is the new wallet : https://ibb.co/dt7tnQz

 Smiley thank you

Regarding the watch only wallet : I transfered some bitcoin to it by accident, maybe  any of you can guide me on how to send this to my standard wallet ?
You didn't understand how this works.

- Your Bitcoin is in the address X.

You have a watch-only wallet with the address X. This means that you can only "watch/see" this address (balance, transactions, etc... but not spend).

To have the same as a "Standard wallet" for your address X, you need the private-key.

The only way you can recover these coins is if you manage to get your address X private-key and import it in electrum (the private-key). It will basically create the same wallet as you have now, but with the capacity to spend the coins.

I think i may have managed to find the private key by going into transaction, double clicked on my transaction when informations popped up, then wallet / private key / export. Now i have a csv file. I went to my standard wallet, weep, pasted the key that goes with my bitcoin address to sweep : "no input found" Shocked

I'mma sleep on this and do something better with my life tomorrow.

Hey,

I think I start to understand this part, but the thing is :
Please zap the part where i talk about my lost bitcoin. It may have confused everything.

Let's say I created a watch-only wallet by accident (or stupidity lol), then I decided to send XX bitcoin to it from coinbase 1 hour ago. Now i can see that i have the balance of the XX bitcoin received in this wallet but i can't seem to send them no where else.

Hope i get myself clear on this one, many thanks !

P.S if it is a watch only then why can i generate receive address ?

5/ I don't know how to trace it so read some internet advice to install electrum and import the address.
6/ which made me create a Watch only wallet.
it seems you made mistake on the importing step
open your bitcoin core, go to debug > console, then type dumpprivkey yourReceivingAddress
then on your electrum, import that private key into your wallet
you need to choose the appropriate keyword to import it in electrum depending on the address type
what is the prefix of your address, 1xxx or 3xxx or bc1qxxx?

edit: I have slow fingers, my post similar to TryNinja's answer above
Just a small note to say that the menu options in Bitcoin Core 0.18 have been changed slightly... so to get to the console window you now need to use the following menu options: "Window -> Console"



Thanks ! found it Smiley

My lost bitcoin is still lost for the moment (my answer to TryNinja)....But let's forget it for the moment. I came here first for this :

5/ I don't know how to trace it so read some internet advice to install electrum and import the address.
That's right. But what you had to do is import the address private-key, and not just import it to a watch-only address.



The only chance you have to get your coins is if you manage to get your address private-key. From what you said, it looks like you still have your wallet "wallet.dat" file, right? I'm not sure why it would show as empty when you synchronized it, but you can try getting your private-key from it (assuming the file isn't corruped or somthing like this).

Try opening Bitcoin Core again with the same file (from your disk or big computer) and exporting the private-key:
- launch your bitcoin client as usual and wait for it to load the blockchain and start up
- click on 'help' in the menu bar (top right)
- click on 'debug window'
- select the 'console' tab
- if your wallet has a password, type: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600
- type: dumpprivkey [your Bitcoin address here]
this will return the private key, you can copy it now; ensure you clear your clipboard/history afterwards

I got to have the private key to from my both laptop and big computer, the laplop gave a private key while the big computer doesn't want to (not known).
So i tried the private key i got from the laptop with my eletrum, no input found....


 

Then, just import the private-key into Electrum. See if this works.

I have created the watch only wallet just to try to see my old transaction that i lost track with.
After that, I generated a Receive address from this wallet to Coinbase, i made a transfer from Coinbase.
What do you mean with "lost track" with your old transaction? Was it a Bitcoin Core wallet? And if it was, what happened to it? Do you still have access to that wallet?

Where was the wallet you used to get that address?

Please answer these questions.


(they say i need a private key to sweep but i don't have a clue where i can find that)
You do. Without the private-key, all you can do is watch the wallet (thus why it is called a "watch-only" wallet).

Ok, i thought this could be a long story that could discourage you ^^

1/ I have some bitcoins sent to my bitcoin core from coinbase to a whole new bitcoin core wallet on my laptop
2/ i realised that i don't have enough space on my laptop, so i tried to migrate it to an external disk
3/ Done, the sync continue but it takes forever ! So i decided to migrate this "bitcoin" folder on my disk to my big computer which has more space and more power by replacing the whole bitcoin folder (with the wallet.dat inside)
4/ Sync continues and finished but no balance.
5/ I don't know how to trace it so read some internet advice to install electrum and import the address.
6/ which made me create a Watch only wallet.
7/ since I need some bitcoin i was saying that while waiting to solve this, i can send some more from coinbase to this brand new wallet to use them. But totally zapped the fact that i was using a Watch Only wallet.

Now i'm stuck again.

Voilà i hope i made myself clear. Thanks a lot Smiley

 Undecided Kiss

So, if I understood correctly... are you saying that you imported one of your Bitcoin Core addresses into an Electrum watch-only address? Or else, how did you create this watch-only wallet?

Do you still have access to this Bitcoin Core wallet that has your coins? (if that's the case)

Hello,

J'ai plusieurs problems, j'en suis à ma 3è transaction pas réussie, je pense que je vais craquer ^^

Je vais commencer par le plus récent :

Comme j'ai perdu la trace d'une transaction depuis coinbase à bitcoin core
on m'a conseillé d'installer Electrum

Chose que j'ai fait, mais en commençant par créer un wallet en important l'adresse de la transaction que je cherche, j'obtient alors un wallet watch only et je vois bien ma transaction. Mais pour le moment je ne peux rien y faire bien entendu.

Entretemps je tente d'envoyer une autre somme depuis Coinbase vers ce nouveau wallet. Mais comme j'ai pas fait attention et étant un peu conne sur le coup, j'ai pas bien fait attention que j'ai demandé depuis le wallet watch only.

Du coup maintenant je vois mon nouveau dépôt coinbase mais je ne peux rien y faire non plus, je peux pas l'envoyer à un wallet standard que j'ai créé ensuite...

Pensez vous pouvoir m'éclaircir ?

Merci beaucoup

Hello !

I would like to transfer some bitcoin to my other Electrum Standard wallet but i don't know how to. This may be one of these stupid questions but i'm new Smiley

Truth is i lost some transactions with bitcoin core, people recommend to try Electrum and have an imported wallet with the address to see if they are there. They are there but i don't know how to get them. And during this, i made a request to my coinbase but i was not in a standard wallet (new to this), so now, i have money in the watch only wallet, i see the balance but i don't know how to send them to my standard wallet to use them :/

Please help !

Thanks a lot  Kiss
