Retrieving 1 btc bought end 2013
by
Erix
on 08/12/2024, 12:11:13 UTC
Bought 1 btc on december 18th. Not being able to touch it since then.
First I thought it was an Electrum issue but with help from within other topic I think it has to do with blockchain.info (now: blockchain.com).

Their keyword in replies is: "unable". They do not want to dive in and they reply very slow, if they do.

What I have:

Image of creating the address where the 1 btc is now taking his rest for over 10 years now: 1MAUuNVNQgc4s5Cp15Xz9R7wD5DamwG5mL
I think that came from Blockchain.info, what you think?

And a 17 word phrase. I am not sure if they match.
The first word matches this list: https://github.com/blockchain/unused-My-Wallet/blob/master/mnemonic.js#L319 but the other 16 do not

Further: some json files and some idea's of wallet ID's. Not sure of everything.

Tried a lot of things:
- btcrecover
- https://login.blockchain.com/beta/legacy-pages/forgot-password.html
The 4rth word (colorfully) and the 5th word (bans) show an error here. Many words do not match the BIP39 (back in 2013, that list did not exist I was told).
- electrum different installs (older don't run) later 4.x let me import the phrase but never gives error (also no error with wrong words) and assets are 0.

Does anybody have the solution for me. For sure I will honor that when I digged up this treasure! :-)

Eric.

N.b.: And yes I am awere of scammers, but that's not you, isn't it?!

Ah, no luck: only the first 3 words of 17 are on that list.
Wrong words are colorfully, bans, outlandish and 11 more

If you can't find it, then that's a different wallet. Have you tried to paste the seed phrase on the legacy wallet recovery?
If you did, then did you get your wallet you were looking for?
Your wallet might be a v1, just my guess, because you can't find all of your phrases under that list.

Do you have another backup wallet? Like wallet.aes.json file?

If you have, you can try to use a decryption tool that you can download here https://github.com/blockchain/my-wallet-backup-decryption-tool
If you don't have wallet.aes.json you can also try to paste your seed phrase on that tool; make sure to run it on the offline PC. If you remember your old password, you can decrypt your wallet.
The result should be the xprv or master private key that you can import to any wallet or Electrum. This is just my last option if you can't recover your wallet from the suggestions above.



Thanks for continuing thinking! We do not give up. Every year I trey some things but did not succeed so far. I will now follow the link you gave me. I use Python 13 also.

The situation is that I have a confirmation screenshot of creating the public address (in English). In the background I think I can see that was created by Blockchain.info. And I have another screenshot with the 17 words phrase (in Dutch). On that background I see an e-mail address that was used.
Furtheron I have several jason files I can try. I also have more wallet id numbers. I think (not sure!) these wallets were all created _after_ the moment the public address was made.

I e-mail the Support of Blockchain.com every day to ask for a reply to my question. But they never reply. Once they did and their most used word was "unable". They seem not to be willing to look into my case. Maybe they are indeed bussy with loads of people trying to recover their gold :-).
I asked them if they can tell me their are wallets connected to my e-mail address and if they can see in 1 of the wallets there is 1 btc.
Is it possible to find out if a wallet id contains 1 btw without having the password nor the connected mail?

I tried lots of things, also this one: https://login.blockchain.com/beta/legacy-pages/forgot-password.html

When submitting my 17 words I get error message for the 4t and 5th word.

Only the 1st word of my 17 words are in this list: https://github.com/blockchain/unused-My-Wallet/blob/master/mnemonic.js#L319

I can send you the 2 screenshots where I erase most of the 17 words. Do you appreciate if I send these to you? Or do you have other suggestions?

This is a non-standard seed phrase backup. I don't think he can recover this wallet on the legacy blockchain recovery, but I think the old blockchain.info might still support it.

Since this is not a BIP39 seed, would you mind checking if your seed phrase is listed on the old blockchain v2 link below?

- https://github.com/blockchain/unused-My-Wallet/blob/master/mnemonic.js#L319

If you found all phrases from that list, then that is a blockchain wallet v2, and you can recover it using the legacy recovery posted above.

Thanks! I already tried that but I get the error the 4th and 5th word of the 17 words seed seem to be wrong. I think here they use BIP39 however my seeds seems not to be of that type.

Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 (I think) can no longer connect to Electrum servers due to phishing issues and arbitrary messages that could be sent to users with those old software versions.

A 17-word Electrum seed phrase?
Are you sure that you didn't generate this seed using a different service, like Blockchain.info?
Or perhaps it's a 12-word seed with the extra words being a passphrase? Try to remember how you created that wallet and if you added a passphrase to it.

If there is a chance it's an old Blockchain.info wallet, take a look at this:

Which site? Blockchain.com?
The 17 words part sounds familiar. You may be looking for this:
Blockchain.info: To recover an old legacy Blockchain.info wallet, read this topic and go here.

You also need your wallet ID and password to recover those coins.

Thanks for thinking with me guyz, I realy appreciate that!

And yes, back in december 18th 2013 I think I used the blockchain.info wallet. Generated this adress: 1MAUuNVNQgc4s5Cp15Xz9R7wD5DamwG5mL and sent 1 btc to that.
You can still see it rock-solid in his place, never moved since then.

Now I found a screenshot of a 17 words seed. That's made the same day, later that day.

The Support team of Blockchain.com uses their favorite word to reply to my mails. That is: "unable".

I tried btcrecover with Python.
I tried old versions of Electrum (did not start)
I tried a 4.5.8. I only could import the 17 word seed as bip39. But I know already some words are not compatible with that list.

I hope somebody can give me the $ 100.00+ advice! :-)

Recover wallet with 17 words seed

In order to retrieve my btc, bought on december 18th 2013 I found out I will need the Electrum wallet 2.9.8.

I first tried to install 2.9.6 but hat version did not run. Nor from commandline nor from the gui. Btw I also installed Python 2.7

How / where can I get the Electrum version that can handle the 17 word seed from 2013?

Re: Did I loos 1 bitcoin / How to get the private key of imported address?
by
Erix
on 18/11/2017, 09:48:15 UTC
Now I can read some private keys. None of them did the job....

The problem is, I think, the 1 bitcoin was never in my actual wallet (If so I should have spend! :-)).
The 1 btc was in the imported address section back in 2013 on this address 1MAUuNVNQgc4s5Cp15Xz9R7wD5DamwG5mL
I can see it is still there and it seems nobody can touch it!

I imported a json file in Multibit 0.5.17 and could export private keys. The balance is 0.

Blockchain.info support gives me this:
====
Wallet.aes.json backups can be imported here:

https://blockchain.info/wallet/import-wallet
====

It works (I have the password and .json file) but still balance is 0 and if I import the 1MAUuNVNQgc4s5Cp15Xz9R7wD5DamwG5mL
it stays a watch-only address and I don't have the key...

So dear bitcoin talkers, is my 1 bitcoin definitely lost or can anybody get it back? Reward = $ 1000

Many thanks for helping me out! However, the job isn't done yet...

First I send a mail to Blockchain.info support with all data I could provide them. Waiting for an answer.

Also I tried the trick of importing the aes backup file into the old version of Multibit. That succeeded and I see a notice 1 private key imported. But how can I get that private key on my screen to copy it and rush to my wallet to take the cash since 4 years?

You mean: Blockchain.MyWallet.wallet._getPrivateKey(0,"m/0'/1");
That gives an error

Thanks...but this will not solve my prob.

I have access to my blockchain.info wallet so no need to restore it.
I imported the address that holds the bitcoin but I can not see the private key I need to transfer that 1 btc to my wallet...

Is my bitcoin lost or.....

In 2013 I bought 1 bit[Suspicious link removed]d idea yeah!)

I sent it to this address: 1MAUuNVNQgc4s5Cp15Xz9R7wD5DamwG5mL

I used a Blockchain.info wallet but I think I used the wrong address. These days I can import that address as a "watch-only" address and indeed there is still the 1 bitcoin on it.

I have the 12 phrases and I tried 2 solutions:

1. https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
That generateds thousands of addresses but still after 50k addresses I don't see the one I mentioned above. And the systems stops after about 80k adresses.

2. https://docs.google.com/d...d8EEdvG_hQuEXw_f_o6w/edit
In that documentation they speak about going to developer console and insert this after the ">": Blockchain.MyWallet.wallet._getPrivateKey(account#,"M/0/index#")
If you do so and press enter a private key is printed. However I don't know the "index#. How / where can I find it?

If somebody has the solution for me there will be reward in 1 btc in the exchange rate of december 18th 2013!

Thanks in advance,
Eric.
