One last question!

can you tell if both these transactions came from the same wallet?

i never bought them, i received them as payment for goods so i need to know the price they were at the time i received them

over a period of time i received lots of small payments into my electrum wallet and then at a later date i sent a batch of these payments all together as one payment to my current address.

without being able to access my xpub or the original wallet i cannot find out what the original prices were

anyway, this all driving me a bit mad, i think i am going to give up

thanks everyone for your comments

sorry, i really did not make much sense with these questions, let me explain my problem

i need to calculate capital gains tax on my crypto for the last 5 years

i have a couple of old wallets i have lost the details for but happily they were emptied before i lost the details

I can see various transactions coming into my current wallet from a variety of addresses which i assume are my old wallets

1 of these addresses i see more than once so i think it is my old coinbase wallet which is great as i can now track all the transactions

the other wallet was an electrum wallet so as i understand a new address is created every time a transaction is sent

the reason i want to know the old details is so i can see the BTC price at which i acquired the BTC - i use an app called Koinley to do this

if i bought the bitcoin at $100 and put it in my old wallet but then moved it my new wallet when it was worth $1000 i only have the second value to calculate my CGT which is not correct

the problem is, as i understand, i need to xpub address from electrum to tie together all the relevant transactions

i don't think it is possible for me to to find the xpub without access to the wallet though is it?

Thanks for the replies guys,

I think the wallet I cannot track down was an electrum wallet. Does that mean it would have created a new address for every tx it sent?

In that case I don’t think I can ever be sure I have found all the right xfers into my newer wallet

I think I really need the xpub but there is no way to find that again is there?

Thanks for your reply although I don’t quite understand it

Are you saying if it was an exchange address it would be the same address for all txs?

The address I have has lots of different txs attributed to it so should I assume it’s the Coinbase address rather than the electrum one?

Thanks!

Hi all, technical noob here, long term bitcoin fan though.

I am trying to find some old wallet address for my taxes. Is it possible to find out which address sent a payment to me or is that info not available? There are a few payments from said wallet so is there any way to cross reference?

Excuse my ignorance!

Hi, I am currently going through my old crypto wallets to do some tax calculations and I have an old wallet address which is either an electrum or a Coinbase address.
I know it seems strange but it would be helpful if I knew which it was so I could give up trying to contact Coinbase support
So, is it’s possible to tell from looking at an address if it’s a Coinbase address? Long shot I know!
Thanks!

have found it now. apologies

that gives me my 'seed' which is a random collection of words. i am looking for my MPK. sorry if i am being a bit thick but how do i get the MPK. thanks
