I've found private keys with Iancoleman, but the address I found there starts with "2". However, my addresses in Coinomi start with "btx1q". When I lookup the receiving transactions on https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btx, it shows one address that indeed starts with btx1q, but the other 2 start with wkh_. I'm kinda clueless how to find the correct addresses using Iancoleman now. Bench32 addressesBitcoin 1bc... Bitcore btx... Thanks for this, I've found the addresses as shown in Coinomi through IanColeman's site (although the start and end are different): IanColeman gives this address: bitcore1 q72a8qwj3uknxe8a33mfj3edejnhlsfprwydh8q Coinomi gives this address: btx1 q72a8qwj3uknxe8a33mfj3edejnhlsfprn2mz3y So IanColeman uses the wrong prefix which leads to an incorrect checksum. If anyone wants to report this (through Github?): feel free to According to the block explorer when I follow the transaction link in Coinomi, some addresses start with wkh_. See this example. Coinomi shows the correct address starting with btx1q. Is this a bug in the explorer website? I've always had a very hard time installing the full BitCore wallet on Linux. Yesterday I tried the Windows version using Wine, and this worked without problems. The privkeys as produced by IanColeman restored the correct addresses, even though the Blockchain Explorer shows Invalid address. You can check your transaction here https://explorer.btx.zelcore.io/tx/a893c2fb52fd870aa5578e5d582b15c4271ee4e4ce6da3d365b98b00f919ede5and here. https://explorer.btx.zelcore.io/address/btx1q72a8qwj3uknxe8a33mfj3edejnhlsfprn2mz3yI think this is displayed incorrectly because the explorers at that time still worked without Bench32.

Hi, I haven't been following crypto since 2018, and would like to know which wallet to use to gain access to BTX from back in 2018. The latest 0.90.9.7 did not read my wallet.dat file. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I read back some pages, but my knowledge is lacking, so I wasn't able to piece anything useful together. My old address is 1Q5...... Do the new wallets not read this anymore? The explorer didn't like my address either. Thanks. Hi, I haven't been following crypto since 2018, and would like to know which wallet to use to gain access to BTX from back in 2018.

Unless you had millions they are pretty much worthless now. Just hold onto them and hope goes back up someday.

You can run the old wallet and back up your private keys (you do not need to sync it just backup private keys) and try to import them to the new one

BTC Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System BTC A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.

If your wallet will let you send the coins it should work. You do not need a copy of the blockchain to send coins. Only your private keys.

Well the wallet let me send them, but the transaction hasn't gone through. I was trying to send them to hitBTC, any ideas?

You should not try to send them using the old wallet. It will not work. Try to do what uralcryptocoin suggested: You can run the old wallet and back up your private keys (you do not need to sync it just backup private keys) and try to import them to the new one

Will it work even though I've now sent them, or are they lost? is backing up private keys the same as backing up wallet.dat?

Will it work even though I've now sent them, or are they lost? is backing up private keys the same as backing up wallet.dat? I don't think your coins were actually sent. In any case, you cannot lose them, they are either on your old address, or on your hitBTC account. As you did not get them on hitBTC, they are most obviously still on your old address. Backing up the private kays is not exactly the same as backing up the wallet.dat. "wallet.dat" contains more than just private keys, it has its own format, and might fail to get recognized by new wallet if the format is changed somehow, but your private keys should work in any case. To backup them, (1) run the old wallet; (2) open the console in "Help->Debug Window"; (3) run "listaddressgroupings" command and take note of all the addresses you have coins on; (4) get the private keys for every address with nonzero balance, by running "dumpprivkey ADDRESS" command; (5) save all the privkeys in a text file; (6) close the old wallet. To restore the saved private keys, (1) open the new wallet; (2) wait for it to fully synchronize; (3) open the console in "Help->Debug Window"; (4) run "importprivkey PRIVKEY" command for every bucked up private key; (5) wait a bit for the wallet to rescan the chain to see your balance.

Will it work even though I've now sent them, or are they lost? is backing up private keys the same as backing up wallet.dat? Hello,
No!! They are different but can be used to do the same thing. Having a copy of your wallet.dat can just be inserted into the appropriate %APPDATA% folder and used to load the wallets. However, the privkey is stronger, in my opinion, since it is a key that will recreate the wallet. The privkey is a code that can be printed and needs to be done for each address in the wallet.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Waya
