Just in case others are still facing difficulties in getting their private keys from the bitsend android wallet, you can follow instructions from here
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitsend-android-wallet/blob/master/wallet/README.recover basically just to get some necessary files but the method described below is meant to simplify the whole process and put this topic to bed. IN THIS METHOD WE SHALL USE THE SEED TO RETRIEVE YOUR BSD PRIVATE KEYS USING YOUR PC
[WINDOWS USERS W10]FIRST THE MOBILE DEVICE PART1. First and foremost, backup your wallet from your Bitsend Android Wallet
## Menu(3 DOTS) > Safety > Back up wallet
## Enter a password and transfer the backup file to your desired email (and save file to your pc)
the easy part is done
SECONDLY THE PC PROCESSREQUIRED:
- An internet connection
- OpenSSL
- Apache Maven
- Java jdk
- And most importantly bitsendj
1. Download bitsendj, OpenSSL, Apache Maven and Java jdk
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/bitsendj.git
https://www.openssl.org/
https://maven.apache.org/
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
NB: to use bitsendj, OpenSSL, Apache Maven you will need to configure your
"environment variables" which you can get to by following the root
Control Panel\System and Security\System or simply copy and paste the string into your file explorer bar and hit enter and when you are here... on your left you should see
"advanced system settings" which you must click. Next go to the advanced tab and then at the bottom of the same window you should see
"environment variables",click that
FOR EASE OF USE I RENAMED MY 3 FILES i.e bitsendj, openssl, apache-maven TO THEIR SHORT FORM TO SIMPLIFY THEM2. Adding the OpenSSL Variable
Using environment variables add a "user variable" and "system variable"
USER VARIBLE ENTRY
[li]Varible Name: OPENSSL_CONF [/li]
[li]Varible Value: C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf [/li]
SYSTEM VARIBLE ENTRY
[li]ADD NEW PATH: should look like this > C:\openssl\bin [/li]
3. Adding the Apache Maven Variable
Using environment variables add a "user variable" and "system variable"
USER VARIBLE ENTRY
[li]Varible Name: MAVEN_HOME [/li]
[li]Varible Value: paste Apache Maven file path here eg C:\apache-maven [/li]
4. Adding the Java jdk Variable
Using environment variables add a "user variable" and "system variable"
USER VARIBLE ENTRY
[li]Varible Name: JAVA_HOME [/li]
[li]Varible Value: paste jdk file path here eg C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_191 [/li]
SYSTEM VARIBLE ENTRY
[li]Varible Name: JAVA_HOME [/li]
[li]Varible Value: paste jdk file path here eg C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_191 [/li]
To test if everything is working we test if openssl variable is correctly setup
open cmd(command prompt)and type
openssl which should output
OpenSSLthen
press ctrl + c to go back
this time type in
mvn -v which should display maven version, java version and your OS version
We are done with
"environment variables"LASTLY DECRYPTING YOUR WALLETUsing
command prompt type in
cd C:\bitsendj\tools hit enter should output
c:\bitsendj\tools in a new line
type
wallet-tool which will start to install the program and note this takes some time (5-15 minutes)
while this goes on in the back ground add you bisend backup file to the bitsendj\tools folder and for conveincy rename it.
when you see something like below CMD is done installing our wallet-tool and we can proceed to next step
PASTE THE CODE BELOW AFTER
C:\bitsendj\toolsopenssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -a -in YOUR_LOCKED_WALLET_FILE_NAME > bitsend-wallet-decrypted-backup
## Now Enter the password of your backup
REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD won't BE VISIBLE AS YOU ENTER ITOPEN THE DECRYPTED WALLET FILE WITH NOTEPAD AND IF DONE RIGHT YOU WILL SEE
"org.bitsend.production" and Mnemonic of about 12 words along with other unreadable characters
2. Extract the seed and private keys
using your seed phrase(Mnemonic) use
https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ or
https://www.coinomi.com/recovery-phrase-tool.html to get your private key. Follow the illustrations below for the final step to get your private keys
---------------------------
YOUR WALLET ADDRESSES AND THEIR PRIVATE KEYS WILL BE SHOWN HERE
