oh my

I generated a wallet with the offline-wallet-generator on May 5th. Dependency issues kept me from compiling the source to double check and I wanted to start mining. Now I have about 500 Loki sitting in an address LBVj***. So far so good, but...

I thought I'd like to take a look at the mined coins, downloaded the now available linux-cli, synced the blockchain, imported the wallet and... well this one says empty wallet, address is L9R6***, view and spend key though are the same. I really don't think I made a mistake back then, been doing similar procedures quite some times without mistakes, always double checking. Well, my mistake should have been that I didn't bother to try importing the seed earlier...

Question: did the offline-generator produce a faulty address or can I somehow recover the matching keys or is it lost forever?

Hey CryptoClausel, try restoring with your seed phrase to the Loki Linux GUI (available on their Github: https://github.com/loki-project/loki). The addresses should not be different. When I restored mine, the addresses were not different. Are you sure you copied down the correct keys and seed information for the matching public address?

Did try that just now. Was probably the first time I went for a gui wallet, usually prefer cli wallets, the forced look and feel here proves my point. Anyway, gives the same result as the cli wallet, different key.

I have tried recovering my steps and honestly, I cannot imagine how I could have managed to store a wrong public address for my seed. First I thought, well maybe I took the address first displayed (if there is one I usually press the button to generate a new one just in case), or had one from earlier from somewhere else. But: the generator does not display before pressing any button, I can not find the used address for any other wallet or on the internet. And as I said, right now, I kind of believe that the wallet generator did something bad.
