Hello everyone, I want to bring some good to the forum and post this instruction, thanks to user
Jurs for the tip.
I think most of those who are here do not need to explain what the
SEED phrase is and how important it is to properly store it. When creating wallets you get a led phrase, this is a set of 12 18 24 words. Save the phrase is very important. Suppose for some reason you lost your keys, or didn’t know them initially (hardware wallets). How to restore them?
There is an English word list of the BIP39 standard, containing 2048 words and key generation protocols BIP32-44-49-84-141, which are used to create wallets. Knowing your seed phrase, you can get the private and public key corresponding to it.
Step by Step:
1. Download the latest BIP39 release:
https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/releases/2. Install the downloaded BIP39 on a "cold" computer (a device that will never be connected to the Internet later).
An old laptop can be used as a “cold” computer, having previously prepared it, it is recommended that all transmitting devices (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) be physically disconnected and the operating system is reinstalled. It is possible to use "Raspberry Pi" as a "cold" computer (it will be completely not expensive)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi3. Open the downloaded BIP39 in html, on the open page, in the BIP39 Mnemonic field, enter the entered phrase.
4. In the Coin field, enter the ticker of the desired coin.
5. In the Derived Addresses field you will see your Public Key and Private Key.
6. If you didn’t see your keys, or you don’t see everything, you’ll have to fill out the "Derivation Path" section.
Full instructions on how to register the path of the coin you need, following the link
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki7. You can use the keys in any official wallet.
A word of advice: keep your
SEED phrase on paper only.
Congratulations, you received your address and private key. If you entered a phrase not on a "cold" computer (not recommended), after receiving the keys, be sure to transfer the coins to other wallets.
The way is checked, everything works.
