1  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Help! Unable to recover my bitcoin gold from my exodus private key on: December 06, 2017, 08:53:09 PM

thanks HCP, have already exported the keys and have had a crack using those. might just have to wait it out a bit longer and see if Exodus come up with some advice from their end.

thanks for the detailed explanation HCP
with regard to security of the private key, do you know if there is any way to get the compressed WIF key from the source wallet rather than through a third party site like bitaddress?
To be honest, I'm not even sure you need to worry about converting from "uncompressed" to "compressed" or not... but you can simply export the private keys in Exodus itself and it SHOULD give you the correct key... otherwise, Exodus is broken and should be fixed...

In Windows you use "Ctrl+Shift+D" to show the hidden "developer" menu... then: "Exodus" -> "Developer" -> "Assets" -> "Bitcoin" -> "Export Private Keys"

When I tried it just now, it gave me the address, derivation path and compressed key:

2  Economy / Web Wallets / blockchain.info wallet access issue on: December 05, 2017, 08:41:05 PM
Hi
 
When I log into my blockchain.info wallet I can see a balance of BTC. I was successfully able to claim BCH in September so assume all the addresses are ok. However I recently logged into extract the private keys to claim BTG I got the following message, "Imported Bitcoin Addresses Not backed up by your Recovery Phrase. Transfer into a wallet to secure funds." Upon reading this message I attempted the transfer the funds as instructed, where I received a second message advising "You have no addresses with a spendable balance greater than or equal to the required dust threshold."
 
This obviously concerned me but I continued on to the addresses section of the wallet to extract my private keys to which I can't find any. So my wallet is showing the balance I thought I had when I logged in but the wallet is telling me the addresses do not hold any funds and I can't extract the private keys. I am confused as to what has happened here, if anyone can assist it would be much appreciated.

I have been using the wallet intermittently over the past 12 months with no prior issues
 
Thank you

He is talking about on www.bitaddress.org - It shows you both "WIF" and "WIF Compressed" keys... You need to work out which BTC Address you have... and use the matching WIF key...

For example... goto https://www.bitaddress.org, click the "Wallet Details" tab and enter "L1o37HSiJJ5W3M6fVHL9Wtucpesp96n26KZTtnkwau2NTLMF6fda" as the private key.

You'll get the following down the Left hand side of the Page:

Bitcoin Address - 1GeZT6WfC4iy5gqjzKCAT152vYZKKEP8HQ
Private Key WIF - 5JrQ8mWPVqjFjfzUJHPTrNGzxf2zohH6ESW76PbstBRnC4ZV4GS

and the following down the right hand side of the page:

Bitcoin Address Compressed - 1FaGfCTBfNGN9y58owBbsVJQJGbwzJArM1
Private Key WIF Compressed - L1o37HSiJJ5W3M6fVHL9Wtucpesp96n26KZTtnkwau2NTLMF6fda

So, if the address you want to sweep is 1GeZT6WfC4iy5gqjzKCAT152vYZKKEP8HQ, you need the "Private Key WIF" and to scan the Private Key QRcode on the left... but if the address you want to sweep is 1FaGfCTBfNGN9y58owBbsVJQJGbwzJArM1, you need the "Private Key WIF Compressed" and you need to scan the Private Key QRcode on the right.

checking my exodus private key again - it already appears to be 52 characters

hi Balouli

having exactly the same issue! can you please explain what you mean by 'scan the compressed private key' - is this a different private key? or how do you compress it?

thanks!

Solved!
I had to scan the compressed private key (52 characters)
