[ANN][Main] Bitcore- BTX - 1:1 Backed BSC Bridge BTX <->SBTX

[LoyceV]

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 addresses
Bitcoin 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: bitcore1q72a8qwj3uknxe8a33mfj3edejnhlsfprwydh8q
Coinomi gives this address: btx1q72a8qwj3uknxe8a33mfj3edejnhlsfprn2mz3y
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/a893c2fb52fd870aa5578e5d582b15c4271ee4e4ce6da3d365b98b00f919ede5

and here.
https://explorer.btx.zelcore.io/address/btx1q72a8qwj3uknxe8a33mfj3edejnhlsfprn2mz3y

I think this is displayed incorrectly because the explorers at that time still worked without Bench32.

luckly i sold my 1000btx when it was still 100k value.
joined today to see what happened, went down to 500sat value.
what a ugly destiny for this coin.
even the bitcore puzzle contest is no sense now a day.
currently dogecoin teorically has more sense of this coin.

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.

You can enter your old address here -> https://bitcore.cc/resources/btx-converter/
The new address format is 2....

Same here, I've not been on for a long time and had forgotten about BTX, my QT wallet is V 0.15.2.0

What do I need to do to withdraw them? Thanks

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

Yeah, but times being what they are I'd rather have every penny I can get at the minute. I thought it was dead anyway so never coming back.

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

Do you need to wait for the blockhain to download? mine hasn't been opened for a while and I'm not sure what I need to do, the progress bar hasn't moved since I opened it.

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:

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 hope as soon as possible, but I think it may take some time...we need a strong community which we dont have currently

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.
