REWARD OFFERED! Help needed recovering Bitcoin wallet

[jreister]

Hello guys,

I have a old Ninki Wallet bitcoin wallet which I used back in septeber 2015 on my iPhone and left it there with the phone. I have a little bit over 4 Bitcoins on that account but sadly yesterday when I checked the old accounts it seems that the service shut down.

I tried to use the ninki-wallet tool from their github with all the proper data (offline key, online key, private key) but without success, it just seems to forever get stuck at Step 4 with the message "Checking for xxxxx address". Also I tried to analyze the background data the recovery application uses and it seems that when it runs these messages appear:

Code:

Failed to load https://api.chain.com/v1/bitcoin/addresses/3GXJPPyKrtd7EZFjj6PsZfD13Rq4VCRrzo: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 405.

For each and every single address it says it's checking this is happening. Therefore, anyone who thinks I can solve this or can recover it for me (trusted members, of course), I am willing to give 10% of the bitcoin amount on the wallet for this.

Did this ninki wallet provided a seed? Do you still have it? If so how many words does it have?

Also I found a wallet with a similar name on playstore? Is this different from what you're talking about? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninki.wallet&hl=en

Is this the recovering tool from ninki that you're talking about https://github.com/Ninkip2p/ninki-recover ?
I have already experienced that web error "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" in the past (not on ninki).
I'm interested to help you out on this matter.

Also, could you add the bitcoin address on your main post containing that 4 btc?

sadly there is couple of threads on the internet that talk about ninki and there were also posts before that you dont have the wallet or the passwords etc :/

As you have mentioned, you have private keys, is this the private keys in your wallet? You can try to recover it by importing to some compatible wallet, but as stated here https://news.bitcoin.com/ninki-bitcoin-wallet-shutting-plans-discontinue-service/ for the shutting down of the wallet way back December 2015, and advised that users should remove their funds their before 31st of December, so I'm afraid if you can still recover it there.

Ninki is working on a recovery process for users to ensure that all users are able to remove bitcoins from the wallet, however, it’s encouraged to make sure to remove any bitcoins you may have with this wallet prior to December 31.

The NinkiP2P is completely dead. Still struggling with the recovery tool. I have the master public key, online recovery phrase and offline recovery phrase. The only issue is I don't know to edit the code properly/the API does not work.

Yup, found the address. 35FynW7vYFvhbeLA2mYH2zHUk9PR5gpDj5
Reward stays 0.4 BTC still as long as someone can help me do it.

Yes.

Updating on this. A user on this forum managed to make me this script with a updated API from chain.so :

https://pastebin.com/qHi2qBHY (That’s recover.js file from ninki-recovery but updated with new API)
So the thing is that now the script is working meaning it gets after Step  4 and “successfully” sweeps my wallet balance. Obly issue is that it states the Balance is 0 BTC (which obviously isn’t - posted address and it has 2.65 BTC dating back from september 2015.
The funny thing is i was thinking i might have reversed the offline and online recovery phrases, therefore I tried both ways. Each time it “successfully” sweeps the address but returns 0 BTC as balance. So that can’t be since one of the two times the information I provided was wrong so it shouldn’t be able to sweep the wallet address.

So... any new ideas?

Hi jreister, I sent you a PM on reddit, could you talk to me there? I think I can help you.

I haven't personally tested it but this should work. It'll look for when 35FynW7vYFvhbeLA2mYH2zHUk9PR5gpDj5 address is derived and output the private keys to the console so you can import them elsewhere.

All I did was add 6 lines. Grep the Bitcoin address to find where they are.

I have the private keys.

What are the first 4 characters of the keys? Are they "xprv" or "5K....." or "5L...."?

You should be able to import the keys into Electrum https://electrum.org/#home

Select "restore multisig wallet" or something similar and use those keys. The order of the keys I believe does matter so try it both ways.
