Can someone help me please

[xhomerx10]

I played around with my blockchain.info wallet today including creating a second, separate wallet.  When I tried to log in via windows, it defaults to the new wallet.
Then I used the security link in settings to create a "wallet recovery phrase" or "back up phrase" as the button says.  Once I wrote down and verified the phrase the 12 words I went to this site:

https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/

and I typed in the 12 words with spaces in between in the box labeled "BIP39 Mnemonic".

Then I scrolled down to the heading "Derivation Path" and selected the "BIP44 tab"

A little further down the page is the heading "Derived Addresses" and there I saw every address and private key that exists (or ever will exist) in my Blockchain.info wallet. Note that the private keys are shown in WIF compressed format which will import into the Blockchain.info wallet.  I think (but don't quote me on this) the core wallet requires uncompressed WIF private keys.

So if Andlog972 didn't import a private key to use the 1Masr1mezkmAqhtWT9RsWzt2e21aYApco address in his Blockchain.info wallet, he should be able to see it and its private key by doing this same thing.

Yes, you can do exactly as he said - but I think you will just duplicate what we have already done.

1) Type your 12 words into this web site:  https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ in the BIP39 Mnemonic box

2) Once it accepts the 12 words, scroll down to the box that says "BIP32 Extended Key (addresses only)" that is where your xpub is.

Check this xpub.  Since we basically did the same thing when we typed your 12 words back into a new account a blockchain.info I will bet the xpub you get will be the same, it will probably be this one http://imgur.com/a/uMtD2 (xpub6CKq5V...)

If it is the same as the one we got by typing in the 12 words to blockchain.info then, yes we have duplicated that result.  If the same 12 words produce a different xpub then that would be a bug.

The problem is that since the 12 words you get from your blockchain.info account produce xpub6CKq5V... (I think you will find this to be true again) you do not have, or have not found, the 12 words that produce the other xpub  xpub6CVUkj... which is the one you need to produce the bitcoin address 1Masr1mezkmAqhtWT9RsWzt2e21aYApco.  So, you are stuck and you will never find the private key to own those Bitcoins held at the address 1Masr1mezkmAqhtWT9RsWzt2e21aYApco until you get the 12 words or the xpriv/xpub key pair that produced that address.

If you import those 12 words (or the xpriv key produced from them) into any other wallet you will/should get the same result since one set of 12 words maps directly to only one xpriv key which maps directly to only one xpub key which maps directly to an exact sequence of private/public key pairs.

You will be able to see, when you type your 12 words into the site https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/, the sequence of Bitcoin addresses and corresponding private keys produced by those 12 words by scrolling down to Derived Addresses.  It will show you the first 20 but you can get the next 20, and the next 20, and the next 20 for as long as you want to press the next 20 button.

You can verify all of this by checking the first 20 addresses produced at https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ with the newest wallet you created at blockchain.info with your same 20 words.  Just press the new address button in your latest wallet 20 times.  It will create the same 20 Bitcoin addresses.

Question:  On the SETTINGS -> Addresses page have you ever pressed the blue "Create New" button?  If not then please do not, that would only confuse things more.  If you have please let us know.

I already recoverd my original wallet like you said burtw I done it threw Bc.i wallet recovery and I clicked the create adress button once like you said will I do this all again bit use the link you sent to recover there ??

You could take the same 12 words to the  https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ web site, type them in, scroll down to the bottom and see 20 Bitcoin addresses.

You can go into your recovered wallet and press the new address button 19 more times.

I would expect the 20 addresses produced at  https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ to match the 20 addresses in your recovered wallet.

If they do match, that is expected.  If they do not then let us know.

[Andlog972]

So I put my 12 word phrase  here  BIP39 Mnemonic
Or the bit that says phrase ?

As I said before:

1) Type your 12 words into this web site:  https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ in the BIP39 Mnemonic box

2) Once it accepts the 12 words, scroll down to the box that says "BIP32 Extended Key (addresses only)" that is where your xpub is.

I found this article on the BC.I may be the same case of you https://blog.blockchain.com/2016/05/16/transaction-0/, and this maybe can help you to export Private key https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1473314.msg14860686#msg14860686.

 Thanks for the info but I think that's a little too complicated for OP to attempt.  Besides, if he just types in the right 12 words from the right deterministic wallet, he has access to all of the private keys that could ever be created for his wallet.

 i think ive done what u said here is  screen shots of what i got the xpub is diffrent i think do i have to go on the wallet i put the same recovery details into check something aswell ?

Since you just published every possible private key in that wallet you should NEVER put any BTC into that wallet - ever.

[Andlog972]

I won't be using that wallet again or Bc.i  I don't no what to do burtw lol there has been grate input from a lot of ppl on here and I still can't get my coins still not herd from Bc.i support I'm just trying everything I'm new to this before this happend I purchased  coins and spent them as fast and easy as possible  iv learned a lot more threw all of this but still no coins

 Did you perform those actions on this wallet?
Did you see that address on the account before you obtained the backup phrase?
How many different wallets have you created with Blockchain.info?

[Andlog972]

Yes that is the original wallet which I made the back up for I then used the phrase in the Bc.i/wallet/recovery

Which made a new wallet when I done that I'm sure
I have the original wallet and the one that I put the back up in and it created another

I have 2 wallets

[Andlog972]

And I thinkso about the adress before back up not  100% tho

  I really think you are doing something wrong because this is proven tech but at the same time it's hard to get the 12 words wrong because the last one is a checksum - they would show as an invalid mnemonic.
How many times have you received money on this wallet?  Is this the first time?

[xhomerx10]

And I thinkso about the adress before back up not  100% tho

 That address should still be showing in the wallet when you click on manage addresses.  If you don't see it, it's not the right wallet!

[Andlog972]

It shows in the original wallet after I think u or burtw told me to press add adress because it was empty before I done that been there since then
