1  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor One: How To Retrieve Recovery Seed from Wallet? on: September 07, 2021, 01:01:01 PM

You don't need to have recovery seed for firmware update, and you can't extract seed words unless you are hacker or if you have special tools and skills for that.

It clearly says I need the Recovery Seed before making the update.

Quote
Old website for wallet si not working anymore, now it is Trezor Suite and seed was never stored on that website, so you can't retrieve it like that.

Actually. it still works. https://wallet.trezor.io/

Quote
You can generate almost unlimited number of seed words or you can just import any seed words you have if they have not been exposed before.

What!? I don't have any. Previous poster said they only reveal it once. That is different from other wallets, like Exodus.

Quote
There is no log in, and this is not typical website with accounts.

Typing in the code with the help of the trezor in order to access to wallet is equivalent of logging in, in my world...

Quote


Best thing is to download Trezor Suite software on your computer, import seed words and add secure passphrase option that you keep in safe separate place.
Even if someone have your device and pin code, they don't know you are using one or more passphrases and can't steal your coins.
Official Trezor Suite github (verify website yourself):
https://github.com/trezor/trezor-suite/releases

What do you mean import seed words? I dont have the seeds.... That is the whole issue!?



Okay friends... Thank you for all the support so far.

Let's say I want to move all the coins to another wallet, reset my Trezor, make a new wallet with a new seed and then move the coins back.

I wanted to move them to Exodus but apperently I cannot send to an address starting with bc1.

So is it best then to send to an exchange, let say Binance and then send it back once I have set up the new one?

I assume I can start the reset of the Trezor as soon as the transaction has started, ie I don't need to wait for the transaction to be complete right?

Your device is designed to protect your digital assets, and it would make no sense for you to be able to do what you want and still be able to keep the whole thing safe. Your seed was generated and displayed only once, then you had to save it in a safe way - and it was desirable to make more than one copy and save them in different locations.

In a nutshell, you can't do what you want - you need your original backup.

Okay I see. I guess the only thing I don't get is that if someone is someone have found my trezor and have my pin code to log in, then they already have access to all the conis, so I guess I don't fully understand that from that point - you can make a back-up copy. In the Wallet Exodus for example, one can do this. "Reveal Seed"

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Thank you!

Yes I understand the safety part. But can I generate it again or is it only available to generate once?

let's say that my recovery seed is safely stored out of convenient reach...

Hi!

How do I retrieve my recovery seed? I don't have access to my original back-up (but its safe) and need the Recovery Seed in order to update the firmware and just to have another copy.

Is there a way for me to retrieve the Seed from the old https://wallet.trezor.io/ wallet?

Have searched but not been able to find answer

Grateful for any support in this!

The link I used to download the installer of Multibit: https://web.archive.org/web/20150317095524/https://multibit.org/index.html
Seems that they finally took down the multibit website that actually had all the installers hosted on it... and the github only has the source code... so you'd need to clone/download the multibit wallet source code from the github and compile it...

Failing that... I could upload a copy of the 0.5.19 windows installer, but then you'd have to trust that my copy wasn't "fake" or malware.

...

HI

If I get it correctly, are you able to share an exe file that I can use to install multibit classic in order to export the keys?

same thing here have an encrypted multibit wallet.

OpenSSL looks super complicated but if nothing else I'll use that.

will be super grateful if the exe file is available

Blessings

It looks like a NEO wallet file, indeed!
Do you remember at least which wallet you used to use? If you do, download it and import the file to restore your wallet.
The private key seems to be encrypted with a password so, you need to remember that password too to restore your wallet.

I'm assuming neo uses base58 addresses
You're correct. NEO addresses are encoded in base58. The MasterKey value in the wallet file is encrypted with AES. Therefore, encoding it to base58 isn't going to help.


YAY!!!, it worked through neowallet.cn, and I remembered the password! (for sure not the wallet I used)

1700 worth. I bought in at peaks in 2018 so still not break-even, but nonetheless, definitely a win!

I have a few scar stories so I'm happy to get one of these kinds of stories two.

Thanks a lot both of you! ❤️

I'd look up a hexadecimal to base 58 converter, I'm assuming neo uses base58 addresses (the block explorer shows a recent transaction to an address with a Q - just randomly clicking blocks).

Thank you!

Would you mind expanding?
Which key would I convert?

Would I use something like this?

Can you paste anything that follows "publicKeyHash" into a blockchain explorer? Be sure to just put in the number that follows to see if any balances are stored.

I'm not sure how neo works exactly but publicKeyHashes are normally addresses with coins and are publicly known from the moment someone sends funds to them.

Well that's a let down... I had tried Neo blockchain and found error, but regular blockchained says its a ETH wallet with 0 balances, Zero transactions...

https://www.blockchain.com/eth/address/50d39a4bba32982f8936240d9d73cf7b5ed95ec0

Strange that I had named the file NEO...

Oh well, last chance is that a skilled technician can repair the phone and make it start. Was no luck at Samsung Service but have found my way to a shop that say they may be able to recover it.

So I had an un-backupped wallet (yes, I know...) with some NEO coins on a Samsung Phone that went dead a few years ago, and seems it might not be able to be repairable.

I have however found a file on my Drive, with unknown file type, called NEO that I had saved. But have not managed to import it anywhere...

Opening it with wordpad reveals:


After the "keys" in the document, there are numbers and small characters (blocked out in the pic)


Anyone have any ideas if this could be a back-up, and in that case how I could retrieve it - or if any of the keys listed there could be imported somehow?
(i tried the obvious ways but it said error, not valid private key etc)

If this is easy fix, I'd be super grateful for help, suggestions.

If this could take some time, I'm happy to offer 1 NEO coin for anyone who can help me through ZOOM and figure this out, granted we get the coins out.

Thank you guys!

I ended up just using Exodus, and sweept everything there. Manage to get some BCH and BTG - together with a little bit of BTC...

Me 2014, moving coins: "Nevermind, too lazy to fill in the last few decimals, its just a few dollars"

Me in 2021: "Hmm, I wonder if I have some change left in any of those Armoury Wallets..."  ¤Eventually finds 3k usd worth of Bitcoin¤  Grin
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Sweeping Wallet with Private key with potential Fork-Coins? on: April 11, 2021, 09:30:59 AM
Let's say I have a wallet that may¤¤¤ have some BTC, it may also have some BTG, BCH etc.

If I sweep it in Electrum, would all the alt-coins follow along - meaning can I then use the new wallet to extract any potential BCH, BTG, BCH?

If so, after importing into Electrum, which is the easiest way to retrieve the fork-coins?

AND - would it be possible to skip step 1, meaning can I just sweep directly into a wallet?

¤¤¤(I say may because they come from a good old Armoury Wallet, and importing in that way will take loads of time since blockchain needs to be dowloaded, but as I understand with the PrivateKey I can swipe it directly..)

Super grateful in any support with this!
