Ok, so the recovery tool is quite simple but I ran into a wall. When asked to input a public adress, it was giving me this error: "An entered address is invalid (not a bitcoin p2pkh adress; version byte is 0x05)". Did some research and apparently this has to do with the fact that this was an segwit address, which uses a different format, and this recovery tool still doesn't support. This was the only address I had in this wallet.

Any ideas? Otherwise I guess I'll have to wait till they implement this.
