Hi there everyone,

I'll try to keep this short as there's a lot of stuff thats not as relevant which i've already tried.


I installed Jaxx wallet. I was given an address by the app. I send aprox 0.1 bitcoin to the address, the transaction got received in the app and confirmed.
When i attempted to spend anything from this address it would give me an transaction failed.

I looked up the private key linked to the address and entered this into a different wallet. This wallet linked the private address to a different (public) address, one that was empty.

I used my 12 words in a generator to generate addresses and private keys. The private key showed up as first generated private key; the address linked to it was the one that was empty.

At this point i have 0.1 bitcoins on an address of which i dont have the private key.

-----

I re-installed Jaxx, cleaned the cache. It now doesn't even mention the address with 0.1 bitcoins at all. When putting back the old cache it again mentions the 0.1 bitcoins, but i cant use them.


I then hit this website https://vxlabs.com/2017/06/10/extracting-the-jaxx-12-word-wallet-backup-phrase/

The website has instructions on how to extract 12 words from an jaxx cache.

My logic behind this is that the address that was given to me has to be generated based on something, maybe a different 12 words. By extracting it from my cache i could check if it matches my current 12 words. If it doesn't match it's bingo and i can generate the private key with the 12 words that don't match the ones i currently have.


However this is where it stops for me, when using the sqlitebrowser app and importing my database, it returns no value in said line. I want to try the other method but i lack knolledge to do so. Is there anyone who could help me out here with a guide for dummies?

Thanks a bunch,

Tim

Hi everyone,
3 days ago i bought 0.1 bitcoin. I used the adress provided by my Jaxx wallet. The 0.1 bitcoin showed up as received, but unconfirmed. 1 hour later the transaction was confirmed by 6+ blocks. However i could not spend any of the bitcoin or it would result in an 'transaction failed'.
2 days after my 0.1 bitcoin investment, i bought after 50 euros worth of bitcoin. This bitcoin was confirmed within an hour, and i could instantly spend 45+ fee.
I installed a diffrent wallet (exodus) to check my bitcoin amount, as i could spend the 50 but not the 800~ on Jaxx.
The exodus wallet showed 50 - 45~ on transactions, with aprox 5 euros remaining. My jaxx still showed 800~+ 5 euros, but again i couldent spend it.
I re-loaded the cache on Jaxx, and it also showed 5 euros remaining. No sign to be seen from the 800 euro's. Not in transactions, not in private keys.
I checked the status of the transaction ID and it shows that it has been confirmed and 'unspent'.
I've tried to install bitcoin core, but since this requires a wallet.dat file which i dont have (because Jaxx uses 12 words) i cannot connect my 'wallet/account' to Bitcoin core.
Can anyone help me to retrieve my lost 0.1 bitcoins?
Thanks! Tim
