That's a tough decision considering everything that has happened with hardware wallets in recent years. …
Thanks, Pmalek. The information you provided regarding the hardware wallets are very helpful. I am going to go through the references in your post and make a pick. |

Good to know. Does the recovered wallet contain your entire Bitcoin portfolio as you remember it or do you believe you should have more? If you have access to everything now, you are done with the recovery procedure.
What you should consider doing now is creating a brand-new wallet and moving all your recovered coins to it. Even better if you purchase a good hardware wallet. Like I mentioned previously, your seed has been entered in several hot wallets. That lowers the security of it and increases the possibility of you losing your BTC in case something goes wrong with any of them.
Thanks Pmalek for your help. I have recovered all my cryptos that were on the BRD wallet and have moved them into new wallets with different seed phrases. Also, I am going to buy a hardware wallet. Any suggestions as to what to get? |

Since it's bc1, you can try to restore another wallet by selecting "native segwit (p2wpkh)" then edit the derivation path below into m/0'
Thanks, nc50lc. Your suggestion worked. So to recover my BTC from BRD wallet, I ended up selecting the Electrum options of "native segwit (p2wpkh)" with a derivation path of "m/0'". |

You mean it's among the newly derived addresses?
I haven't yet gotten to use the method you suggested in your previous message. What I meant is that I have found my missing BTC's address in the blockchain explorer. Wouldn't Electrum be able to recover the BTC using this exact address and my recovery phrase? By the way, according to Pmalek "… native segwit if they begin with bc1 …", and my BTC address actually begins with "bc1". |

You can try to generate more address to see if your bitcoins is in your addresses higher than Electrum's default gap limit.
nc50lc, I actually found the address for my remaining BTC on the BRD wallet. Can I use this address to recover it? |

If there's only one result, then there's no other derivation paths detected and that was the sole derivation path with transaction history.
To go further, you can try other derivation paths that's not listed in the link in my reply above
but I have no idea what other paths BRD wallet used.
Thanks nc50lc. Yes, the BIP39 Recovery popup window showed only one result, which was "Non-standard legacy (Account 0)". Is there, somewhere, a list of derivation paths that can be tried? Is it possible that I need a modified derivation path for return transactions? |

You should definitely be able to make a BTC and ETH transaction sending your entire balance to these wallets though, as that should always work.
But BRD wallet is not functional any more; so I can't use it to send anything. |

How many results did you get? Just that one?
Can you please elaborate further regarding this question? All I got were two entries corresponding to my BTC transfers to BRD Wallet and two entries of equal value to the receipt values, which I assume correspond to me converting part of each of the amounts received to ETH. Would you suggest that I use something other than Electrum for recovering my BTC in the BRD wallet? |

This doesn't look like the result of "Detect Existing Accounts".
Thanks for the reply. This is what I have been doing: 1- Created a new "standard" wallet. 2- Gave it a name. 3- Selected "I already have a seed." 4- Selected seed type BIP39. 5- Typed in the seed phrase. 6- Selected "Detect existing accounts." It still had the legacy account selected and m/0' shown in the box below it. I appreciate any suggestions. |

Thanks guys for your help.
I have been successful recovering my ETH; however, regarding the BTC, I installed Electrum and haven't yet been able to recover any of my BTC from the BRD wallet.
This is roughly what has happened:
1- I installed Electrum.
2- I used my recovery phrase to create a new wallet. I can't remember all of the exact selections I made, but I believe that I selected BIP39 path of m/0'.
3- What I get is a small list of 4 transactions where all of the BTC receipts are correct, but for each receipt there is a corresponding deduction of equal value on the day following the receipt, leaving the final BTC balance equal to zero.
4- I know that the last time the BRD wallet was functioning I had some BTC in my BRD wallet. A dump of my BRD wallet activity shows that there should be some BTC there.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
1- I followed the instructions provided on the BRD website for "Coinbase Wallet Migration".
2- After entering my passphrase, picking a username, and picking a passcode, Coinbase Wallet gave me an error saying "There was an error creating an account for you. Please wait a moment, and try again."
3- When I tried again latter, it said the username I had entered was no longer available.
4- I picked a new username; I received the same error message again.
5- I keep on getting the same error message every time that I try.
Anybody has any suggestions? In particular, can I stop wasting time with the Coinbase Wallet at this stage and try another compatible wallet.

Hi,
Can someone please provide a safe recipe for migrating from a BRD wallet that includes both BTC and ETH to, let's say, the Coinbase Wallet or some other better noncustodial wallet?
Thanks in advance.
