I kept and held xdn on the Bittrex exchange for the past few years.

Does anyone know if Bittrex has automatically swapped old xdn for new xdn on there for the old xdn bittrex holders?

actualy it is not fair to do that like dev do imagine that somebody try to do with bitcoin

OK. I found a strange way to get your wallet back. Or at least I think so.
First read, get all you need, then do it offline.

Step 1.
Go to http://gobittest.appspot.com/PrivateKey (actually to a local copy, with your internet disconnected)
put KwFAa6AumokBD2dVqQLPou42jHiVsvThY1n25HJ8Ji8REf1wxAQb into the first editbox
you get 00BF9C46A7C40AAF96ED20CFC0AB0F929D9BE1748AF89B37E9EFB4CDB98DA6B0CB in the 4th editbox.
ignore the first two zeros, keep BF9C46A7C40AAF96ED20CFC0AB0F929D9BE1748AF89B37E9EFB4CDB98DA6B0CB

Step 2.
For this step I modified the known tool "Bitcoin Address Utility" and added some functionality for you.
As I said, my knowledge in Bitcoin / cryptography... could be better.
So, I uploaded this here: https://wsi.li/eQho6D43nn1yV2/1452081
If you go to tools->address utility, at bottom is a test area.
If you paste BF9C46A7C40AAF96ED20CFC0AB0F929D9BE1748AF89B37E9EFB4CDB98DA6B0CB there, a new WIF is calculated and put in the next editbox (5KGg1jDTCw9U3wZKk1XohzRztbpwZtWnBrQEN84ChYAqT6Ev2hR)
That WIF works in Electrum and it is for the address 1Kxrx4WXNBF9dSzDqsJHFjdAEHo8ws1smL

(Edit: clearly use this also offline, maybe on a virtual computer or sandbox)


Now, I know that it's a trust issue here with an exe, I don't even know if the link is not hidden by the forum.
If you PM me an e-mail I gladly post the link again (or I'll simply send it by e-mail). I can also give you the source code, it's 99% the old good "Bitcoin Address Utility", it's in c#, just ask.

I've got something that should be of help.
Clearly Electrum imports the private key returning the address @AdolfinWolf posted.
But:

I found http://gobittest.appspot.com/PrivateKey
If I put KwFAa6AumokBD2dVqQLPou42jHiVsvThY1n25HJ8Ji8REf1wxAQb into the first editbox
I get 00BF9C46A7C40AAF96ED20CFC0AB0F929D9BE1748AF89B37E9EFB4CDB98DA6B0CB in the 4th editbox.

If I go to http://gobittest.appspot.com/Address
And put 00BF9C46A7C40AAF96ED20CFC0AB0F929D9BE1748AF89B37E9EFB4CDB98DA6B0CB into first editbox
I get exactly your 1Kxrx4WXNBF9dSzDqsJHFjdAEHo8ws1smL in the last editbox.

So alongside some numbers should be good after all, just something has change. Maybe somebody better than me can fill the gap. I'll also research a little more.


Edit: clearly don't paste the private key for the address with funds in any place that is online. That website is not mine, I googled for it.

I haven't extensively looked into it, but the script seems to be from 2011,12.
Hence why they're not using compressed public keys, but uncompressed ones. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, it's just that compressed ones are smaller, and faster to generate (?)

Also, about the 5 vs K, if your private key starts with a K their public key is compressed.

If they start with a 5, they're not. (hence why the script gives you 5..., i'm pretty sure there was no compression of keys back then..)
Read more about it here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80861.0

The script you linked only generates adresses.

You can't recover any private keys with any script, since it is a one way function.

KwFAa6AumokBD2dVqQLPou42jHiVsvThY1n25HJ8Ji8REf1wxAQb seems to correlate with 1Ga6WqY53kc14BRqmR4wbwi9zwbtmtiptC (or uncompressed 1LKqSeEt7z1YkeZuTP85cg1B4AdyoNhpdj)

Both of which hold 0 balance and have no transactions?


Note that you shouldn't post your private keys in public, as you're bound to get robbed big time.


If you've lost a number of characters from your private key, it's possible to bruteforce, yes, but i don't think that's what you're asking for here, is it?
