Great, thk you @HCP for this trick

Yes, I understand about .

This fake balance was very close of what I thought I had lost.

What a pity, but that's life!

Thank you very much for all your posts, explanations. It has been a pleasure to exchange with you.

Kind regards

Hi @HCP,

Well, in fact I didn't touch the wallet since 2017. Between 2016 an 2017, I made many transactions. Now when I am looking at the history of multibit HD in the panel, I don't see any fees https://snipboard.io/zsugFD.jpg. This screen capture is today.

When I export the csv file from multibit HD, I have these 'transactions fees that appear', I don't really understand because I didn't notice these fees in 2016-2017. https://snipboard.io/VqDgCs.jpg

The only transaction I made since this period was with BRD 2 weeks ago, and they have a mode slow (=low fees), and it was transparent. No huge amount.
So where these fees come from, I don't know.

I have to admit, it's quite technical for me. In 2017, I didn't know nothing about bitcoin. And I still don't know so much.


I thank you very much for this information. It will help me.


I am gonna try to understand this.

If you have time and if you want to have a look at the csv file, you can give me your mail, no matter for me.
You are a great help since the beginning but I have to confess I am still in the smog. I should follow  a course on the blockchain   

Yes...not cool. Do you think @HCP there was anyway to escape this "substantial amount"?

I would like to have more info about BRD Fast sync, but for the moment I have not. I am gonna send a new message. I am trying to recover old multibit HD transaction history to see if these transactions are in it.

I am a little bit confused about this balance 0.38 => 0.04. I am gonna dig a little bit.
I will tell you if i get more info.

Thkx for your help to make me understand this craziness

@HCP so after have been verifying 2 or 3 times, I finally added the fees and the total match the balance showed in BRD slow sync or eletcrum.
I am gonna continue to better understand what was these 3 transactions that don't appear in Fast Sync. Do you have any the idea why these 3 transactions didn't appear at first ?

Thank your for your great help

@HCP, no it's not. I compared BRD Fast sync csv file with BRD slow sync csv file. I noticed 3 transactions that don't appear in Fast sync.

BRD Fast sync sum = 0,41329236 BTC

BRD Slow sync sum (after synchronization) = 0,01390002 BTC

the 3 transactions correspond exactly to the difference between the two results.

So I don't know what to think. Because my wallet displays actually 0.00382 BTC and it should be at least 0,01390002 BTC

I verified one by one all the transactions in btc.com (addresses).

so if you have any suggestion, you are welcome

Thks for your help

Hello @HCP,


Ok, it makes sense. Thank you very much for this explanation. All this stuff is new for me and a little bit confusing i have to admit.

But I think that finally, we have touch the issue...unfortunately for me, my initial balance is gone...for ever.

You have been a great help for me 

I join a screen capture of a csv file where I added BRD Slow sync amount + BRD Fast Sync amount + Electrum

https://snipboard.io/nYVBCj.jpg

I selected a transaction 0.10101943 BTC (BRD Fast sync mode). BRD slow sync displays -0,0001 and Electrum displays -0,0002 BTC 

And here is the blockchain.com address explorer

https://snipboard.io/RafwYK.jpg

It seems that Electrum and BRD slow sync show just the fee transaction.

What do you think ?

@HCP no, sorry it's the opposite. The screen capture shows BRD Fast sync.

Now, when i reinstall BRD wallet in Fast Sync Mode 0.38 BTC has disappeared. Probably due to the new transaction I made.

I am trying to verify all transactions between different wallets. And they don't match. For some transactions I have a difference between BRD and electrum . For example (transaction with the same address), in BRD (Fast sync and Low sync) i have -0,11461172 BTC and with electrum -0,11471172 BTC. It's not a huge difference but it's weird, no ? I verified blockchain.com and it's BRD who's right.

How is this possible ?


Thx

Thanks @NotATether for the explanation.

Thank you @HCP for your answer. I understand better the code to pu tin the console.


In fact no, the settings were ok. https://snipboard.io/xj9bAD.jpg

Following your advice and BRD suggestions, I let the BRD wallet sync in slow mode and made a transaction. Then I tried to understand the gap between balance by analyzing csv files. In BRD Fast sync, 4 transactions are missing.

I tried to verify with block but for one address, I have many transactions that don't match my csv files.

I am gonna send all these csv files to BRD support.

My question is: is it possible that I lost BTC during a fork or BCH creation?

@HCP, ok thank you for your clear explanations.

So here si what I found, history csv file from BRD and electrum don't match, and worst they are not in the same order  I have transactions in BRD that don't correspond when compared with Blockcypher.

Transactions error in BRD file that I noticed:

• 16bZrJtUN6Z8vem25mmYcQsYdNNpK914zv

this address returns many transaction in BRD file from various send adresses. Sometimes, it seems that the wallet has split the amount from the same address. When I try to add up all these little amount from the BRD file, this doesn't match the blockcypher result.

• 1hdcAse8SiFDnoDwAKqNA1CnRMZ6gxrtK

-0.09550433999999999 in BRD and 0,00097 in Blockcypher

• 15mhRUaBCx9M4dnC3RV8kPgEDwKV4xxehE

-0.01391466 in BRD and 1,18839466 in Blockcypher
[/list]

So, i am gonna try to let BRD wallet sync in slow mode and after compare both csv files.


I tried both code but I didn't notice any change with the history or with the balance. I put in range(300).

Why to use different boolean operators in this code ?

denomination: ok, I had changed it in BTC when i recovered the wallet.

Your help is crucial for me and it's also very interesting to exchange on this topic. Any ideas are welcome.

Hello,

Thank you @ranochigo, @NotATether, @HCP for your answers.
I am gonna try to reply as much concise I can.


Yes it's what I did with electrum wallet, and the balance is divided by 100. If I don't select these options, I have nothing. I don't have password keys they are encrypted in aes file.

I want to specify, I didn't make any transaction with electrum wallet. With BRD in fast sync, I couldn't.


Yes, it's what BRD support think. There is an issue with fast sync mode. May be the initial balance is wrong ?
I must admit that I would prefer to access to the balance: 0.38 than 0.004. I almost 90% sure it's the correct balance, the balance when the multibit crashed. 0.004 doesn't make sense for me.


No, I forgot this wallet for a long time. No transaction since 2017. Or you think something else ?


Great suggestion. How do you do that?
I would like to check this before let the BRD synchronize completely.


"denomination" ? You mean bip39 => m/0 ? Yes, it's what I did. In fact, I wanted to try your method with password keys imported, and adjust fees before sweeping following this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5311792.0. But unfortunately, I don't have access to password keys because of encryption.

With seeds in electrum, I cannot adjust fees during the recovery process. Is this normal ?


So every advices are precious.

Thank you for your help 

Hello the community,


I tried to recover a few days ago some old btc stuck in an old multibit HD. Last transactions in December 2017. I used BRD and Electrum.
On BRD wallet, I have the right balance in fast sync mode (conform to my memory) but I cannot transfer them neither exchange.

In Electrum, I recovered also with seeds but I have a balance 100 less than on BRD. I didn't make any transactions for now.
I read that I have to adjust fees.

My questions:

• Why do I have a different balance between both ?
• I can adjust fees only in electrum with password keys ?
• Do I risk to loose my btc during the sync ?
• What is the safest method to recover my funds ?

I verify all transactions by exporting them in excel. The balance showed by BRD is correct.

Thank your for your help

Hi,

A few days ago I could reactivate an old multibit HD wallet (crashed in 2017) on BRD, using password seeds. The balance of BTC is similar in my memory and I could extract all transactions between 2016 and 2017 to verify the balance.

Here is my issue: I have the right balance on BRD(Fast Sync mode) but I cannot transfer it neither exchange it. In Electrum, the balance is completely different (around 100 times less).

When I try to sync BRD with normal sync, arrived around 32% of sync, my balance is divided by 100 like on electrum. I stopped the normal sync on BRD. I reinstalled the BRD wallet and in fast sync, my initial balance reappeared.

Here are my questions:

   •   Why the balance is different between BRD fast sync and electrum ? (I read somewhere that multibit HD had very low low fees )
   •   Is there any risk to loose BTC during sweeping process because of these multibit low fees?
   •   Do I have to adjust fees in BRD or electrum to preserve my balance ?

BRD team answer:

   •   They don't understand why I cannot transfer the BTC
   •   They advice me "normal sync mode" and to wait until final synchronisation, according to them, I have no risk to loose my initial balance (because of fees) during sweeping process.

I am little bit lost. To adjust fees in electrum, it seems i need password keys but they are encrypted in aes.
Every advices are welcome

Mat

@ranochigo, 
I have the aes file from multibit HD + password seeds. I imagine I have to decrypt aes file (Mac os) to access the private keys ?
In BRD they have also "assert a private key"  but they ask for a QR code ...
Crazy world !

Hello guys,

I  am joining this post because I think I am facing the same issue as Frank 717. I had some old btc stuck in a multibit classic or hd, I can't remember exactly. I had lost access during a multlbit update. I managed to get my hands on them again using my seeds password on BRD. I can see them in BRD wallet but I can't do anything with them (no transfer, no exchange => transaction failed or error). I guess it's a fee problem.

If I use electrum, bip39, etc... the amount of my btc is divided by 100 after being swept. How can I lower the fees?
I could verify the initial amount of btc by analyzing all transactions between 2016 and 2017.

I don't have private keys, I'm trying to find them with easeus recovery but I don't know if the datas are still there.
Any advice is welcome.

Hello the community,

Few days ago, I tried to recover my old multibit HD. Last transactions with my multibit HD occured in december 2017. After an update, I couldn't restore the wallet so I fed up. So 2 days ago, I read that it was possible to restore an old multibit HD with BRD and electrum (I had password seed). I tried both wallets.

With BRD, I have the right amount and all transactions  but I cannot move the funds, neither exchange them in another currency.

With electrum, I have also all transactions (same that BRD) but I don't have the same amount. I have 1000 less. Why ?

I calculate all the past transactions in Google Sheet and the right amount I should have is BRD.

Is there any way to access the right amount on my BRD.

What's the problem with electrum ? Fees ? Forks ?

Thanks for your help

Mat
