Don't be rude yutes. How i can generate my private key.

[Nt013]

Im new to bitcoin and it's all confusing me still, but will get there, and don't act rude just because yall forgot how u behaved at the very beginning let's say.. SO i have my private key in hex, but i can't import it, i can validate the adress thru it, from one site. As far i understand after im trying full 8 hours to do it, i see couple sha 256 codes, i tried encryption something close come out but not fully... Any advices how I can do it to get the root key or whatever it is called, that's all i have private key, couple sha256 and i want to finnaly import them into my other wallet. Thanks in advance.


I simply have no idea how to encrypt exactly this hashes, should i encrypt them one by one, then add the whole sha for encryption or i should do copy paste them all, then encrypt? And should i encrypt the encrypted sha? Im tired honestly

new versions of bitcoin software do not use the "importkey" command
you have to use their silly new "descriptor" features/commands

yes they totally went head to the wall headache method of just trying to import a simple privkey and turned it into some elaborate game theory you have to play with a wallet now

yep they seemingly dont want to make things easy/straightforward. they think if they can get users to need a user manual. then it shows they are smarter then their users.. rather than actually being smart and making it easier for users

whatever software you are using there is usually a guide
some software dont use the exact "import descriptor" command. so check out your softwares features/commands list

Brother im copy pasting these 3 different sha hashes 4th one is riped hash 160, with prefix and checksum, and im using some sait that encrypt them, i just dont know anything and usually I think im smart not untill now, its 5 am, and me still trying to just put my funds in safepal, after 100th time seeing it's incorrect im getting amused...

if its rip160.. your not using a private key thats the public key
adding salt is not "encryption" its just messing around changing the key. thus getting an error if the checksums dont match

No its hexed 66 length private adress, if it validates my compressed adress i think so its private seed or semen idk lol.. So simply just to not add this riped hash to the other which are 64 lengths? Just the site display it i didnt know much

But first i need to convert this hex pkey, from the 3 256 hashes right?
So longg so amusing, i will keep on tryin finnaly will local sell it all for half of the amount in it..

[franky1]

ok..

so your trying to say.. you have funds on a multisig address of 3 keys

where your software is not understanding the 3 keys

first convert each sha from hex to wif..
then
import each key (new wallet software use "descriptors" not "importkey")
(find user guide of software for specific importkey/importdescriptor method)

without us knowing the wallet software you want to import into. details of how to import are different/difficult to explain

then once in wallet software. THEN combine them to the multisig to get the end result address

Im trying to import them into safepal wallet, and this whole process is simply makin me to sell all i have and never touch a btc chain again, no wonder why so many people got their wallet wiped off, disgusting process and im pissed off now have to light me a baseball bat and sit back to relax... Bcs of the wallet i need to do it separately in some sites idk even how they exist but how wont they, look at the process..


Ps
Man, honestly from all this trying without knowing fully what am i doing i do really start to forgot what I'm doing its morning already, been trying to educate me but i lose the plot now, can you answer me so if this hex validate my compressed adress starting with 1 is the seed aka private key? If i did and this not right i go sleep

[franky1]

im guessing there is a language/jargon/translation barrier

are you saying the 3 hex based keys:
a. join to make a single public address(we call multisig)
if so it appears safepal does not support merging them into a multisig once importing keys separately..
.. so find a different wallet that supports multisig
OR
b. funds are spread over 3 addresses (1 address per key) and you are having difficulty converting "hex into wif" for each key for safepal to understand

there could be a possibility that the "hex" you have.. came from something else
EG most wallets dont dumpprivkey into hex format. so its strange that you are handling hex keys as your private key

maybe try to go back to your old wallet and see if you exported/'dumped private key'(s) correctly

..
if you have 3 x sha256.. then end result (converting to wif(starts 5,l k))
3 private keys with either:
prefix 5 is uncomressed(most accepted by most wallets
prefix K or L is compressed, not as accepted by most wallets


if its a true bitcoin keypair(s) would be those wif keys(prefix 6 k or l) would convert to public addresses of:
3x legacy addresses (three addresses beginning with 1(one address per hex))
or
1x multisig (a single address beginning with 3 or bc1q) where all three keys joined to make the multisig

I found a site wont say the name i dont know if it fits the rules, where when i type this hex seed, it shows me 3 different types of hash 256, shows me also the compressed adress, shows also the riped hssh but can't calculate the riped one, it just shows it. My funds are in 1 adress, starting with 1, what should i do?    which one of the 3 hash 256 to encrypt or turn to wif, or only the compressed hex pkey i dont know no more. If you want write me a message i will give u the key to check it and tell me where I'm wrong, im willing to pay u, it ain't much, but i could make more by the timme im trying this new formats and segwits ettc

[franky1]

without showing me anything

does the (separate) converter site give you a result where
typing in one hex length of text at a time:
where part of the conversion process per attempt start with a result where there is a prefix of 5, k or L?

and then later show a 1 prefix that matches your required address

if you can get to a point of one address resulting in the public (1 prefix) address you want and see above it a private key(wif) starting 5, k or l.. then import the string of the 5,k or l prefix text

i would not recommend you telling strangers your private keys or methods that could establish your private keys.. best option is to try and find guides to the services you use. including whatever wallet you had previously to see if you exported keys wrongly to end up with a hex

So when i write the compressed hex, it shows my adress, the wifs are in L type the compressed ones. But not the real adress got imported into safepal, this leads me to think its me who do it wrong.. Idk if i should call it hex, its compressed key for me, like normal, but the adress is very old

using a well publicly known keypair

this hex
e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

results in
1HZwkjkeaoZfTSaJxDw6aKkxp45agDiEzN  (uncompressed)
1F3sAm6ZtwLAUnj7d38pGFxtP3RVEvtsbV (compressed)


try that hex to see if your convert shows similar results and see if your converter also shows a stage where it reveals a output that looks like it starts with a 5 k or l (wif private key)

EG
L4rK1yDtCWekvXuE6oXD9jCYfFNV2cWRpVuPLBcCU2z8TrisoyY1 (compressed)
5KYZdUEo39z3FPrtuX2QbbwGnNP5zTd7yyr2SC1j299sBCnWjss (uncompressed)

if you can see the results with the details example i gave in the converter you used then the converter is doing as it should.

your best bet is finding a converter that converts from hex to uncompressed(prefix 5) and maybe you will see the end result bitcoin address you want. and then import the uncompressed wif(prefix 5)

Yes it does them same way, btw i found the public key to mine adress, so for sure im doing something wrong but what really is what im asking my self, what wallet to download or what other more easier way to find and acces the little bit coin i have inside, it ls very old adress, found it inside the google drive on a phone i used to go to school with, back then i bought for 50 cents what is now 500 dollars around now.. I know it ain't much nor less, but better with them than without them innit

You stored it in Google drive?

[franky1]

very old address = legacy (starts with a 1) also known as PKH(public key hash) if rip160hash
or
just PK(public key) of non rip160hash

im guessing he has coins on  a PK and not a PKH

I have doge coin pkeys and maybe around 10 other btc keys that I found i dont even know from where they got there, rsa keys it says, dudes, me was young chasing money never thought someone gonna steal from me, especially living in Eastern Europe, also i was heavy gambling as a kid/teen, and probably i hit something big for me and thought to myself screw this crypto, cash in hand, but look at me now chasing a quarter btc for 50 cents bought, now over 500..

Now you don't have much money but if you don't realize your bad practice (storing private keys or seed, passwords or identity photos for KYC on Google Drive), you will continue that practice.

Later when you store your big money and its key in Google Drive, imagine?
