Re: How to import a blockchain.com wallet from 2012?

Small update. I was able to find the first password and with BTCRECOVER I dumped the wallet info. In the file there are some informations such as




 "addr": "",
            "priv": "",
            "privkey_compressed": "",
            "privkey_uncompressed": ""
        }


The address doesn't have any Bitcoin on it. Is that my old wallet? If so, there's no point on recovering the second password, right?

Thank you

I believe you need to correctly enter both passwords, as the second password in addition to your seed generated a completely new set of wallets. Until you accurately enter the full seed + password, you won't see an accurate address or wallet relative to your balance.

The first password you are entering is likely to access the wallet, while the second password will grant you access to the set of wallets with the additional '25th word' layer of security.

Do you guys have any experience with this? Any solutions (easy or hazzle) that could solve this problem? I would even love some tips on how to download the blockchain faster.


Info:
Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Bitcoin Core 22.0
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
System Hardware Specs: Intel Core i3 5005U @ 2.00GHz, connected to external harddrive with 1TB free space.




I recently synced bitcoincore to an external hard drive, it took me about 3 days. There are a few things you can do to your bitcoin.conf file to help speed up the process, I would search around for what works best for your system limitations.
