Hi
Does anyone know of any remainin online tools to check a physical coins balance from the firstbits displayed on the coin.
I understand the concept of firstbits has died a death but i need to check balances on some funded and potentially unfunded physical Lealana coins I have.
Or a simple walk through on generating the full addess from first bits
Much appreciated guys
I don't own any physical lealana coins, but if i'm not mistaking, a firstbit address is basically just the first characters of a "normal" P2PKH address. Firstbits just parsed all transactions and kept a database with all funded addresses. If you entered the first characters of an address, they'd look up which address started with this exact sequence.
So, you'd basically have to start parsing around the time your Lealana coin should have been funded, and see if you find any transactions that fund an address starting with the character sequence printed on your coin...
Then again, i can be completely wrong with this theory... Anyways, good luck!
EDIT: Since LoyceV already came to the same conclusion, i'm pretty sure i'm correct... The only difference between his theory and mine is that i think you'll only need to parse part of the blockchain, since addresses funded AFTER the Lealana coin has been purchased for the first time are not interesting in your case.
