As of right now, with my recovery efforts, ALL of my BCH is unreachable.. all due to the bitcoin.com wallet update on iOS. Through multiple avenues, I have still not been able to recover anything. I’m really bummed
I ran through quite a few different things with them last night... today I haven’t heard back yet... I really wanna get home and try loading the old desktop wallet up and try on that
This happened to me too! On Android. Importing to Electron Cash didn't work, regardless of derivation path or password. Importing to the desktop Bitcoin.com wallet worked eventually.
My Bitcoin.com was updated on Android without any problems. I have 3 wallets all have funds. The difference. One wallet always used the same address before. Now the address is
I read through that... I’m gonna try the Mac version again... problem with exporting the file to electron cash is... support had me delete the locked wallet on my phone to reimport
Mine was created in like September or something when I wanted to try out bitcoin.coms wallet. It definitely was set with a PW though.. figured I was being smart by enabling that 🙄
Since you have the seed and encryption password, the money should be recoverable, but it was quite a hassle for me. I will not use the Bitcoin.com wallet again.
I’m gonna try it again maybe on my PC. I’m so irritated right now. Maybe another go on Mac first. feel like I’m not gonna see those coins again. And over a total non user error.
I got my money out but I'm also irritated. They can't just drop support for their own wallet format out of the blue like this. It shows complete disregard for their users.
I’m hoping this is the case... I tried the bitcoin.com desktop wallet for Mac.. and I was unable to even import the wallet was getting the error message:
I had a old .com wallet on my spare phone die yesterday when it tried to update. Got a message to not delete anything and contact support. I tried the seed on another device with ....
a new installed .com wallet and it worked. Deleted app on old phone, reinstalled it and then recovered from seed which worked. Had me worried for a while though ! Hope you get your BCH
This happened to me with my digibyte wallet. In most 10's of thousands of digibyte, and a bunch of dividend assets too. No telling how much is in that account. So.... Try this
Make sure every facebook app is updated. The fb apps cause alot of issues. Mine is due to a fb encryption library error which affects alot of apps a big time dev told me.
My phone auto updated the app... because I had a spend pw, and the new bitcoin.com wallet doesn’t support that, the wallet was locked.. when i reimported, no funds found...
Was debating whether a restore from backup would work. not sure if it will install the newest version of the app tho. but perhaps the locked wallet support had me delete would be there
I checked the address that I sent to from my coinbase account when I bought them.. and it appears that the coins are still in there... I’m meticulous when it comes to this.. so Idk
I managed open my Bitcoin.com wallet using other wallets such as Electron Cash. If you want, I'd be glad to help if you have your seed phrase (don't share them).
I think I’m quitting for the night.. I downloaded electron cash but the only option I saw (quickly looking) was importing from a file.. not a seed phrase... I’m really upset..
Electron Cash uses files to save wallet settings. After specifying that file, you get to define hiw you want your wallet prepared, such as creating a new wallet or from a seed.
Also, by any chance, did you (ever) have more than 1 BCH wallet setup? Although using the same derivation path, each new wallet uses a different 'account' path.
Many people put a lot of effort in building what becomes https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ tool. It works just like a calculator. I do not condone calling it names such as a scam. (cont.)
1) I checked the code myself. 2) I checked the network traffic myself. 3) I also suggested an offline use to demonstrate nothing is sent back. Have you?
As I just said.. I was joking.. no offense to be taken... I was playing off of what the previous user had said.. I thought that was obvious. So again, no seriousness to that comment!
I did not. I’m at work right now. I’m going to check it out later when I get home. first, I’m going to give the Bitcoin.com desktop wallet another shot as that was Reccom again
Regarding Ian's site, it helps map out addresses without actually creating a wallet — clarifying the correct derivation path. But the legacy format asks for an extra /0 at the end.
To double check: 1) open https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ then go offline (opt.) 2) enter mnemonic phrases 3) choose BCH coin 4) choose BIP 32 tab 5) enter m/44'/0'/0'/0 (extra /0)
Check if the addresses listed here matches the one in Electron Cash on iOS. If they are the same, then you did your Electron Cash setup correctly and we'd have to look deeper.
electron cash uses seed phrase. If you have your seed, your funds are safu. Create a new name for your wallet file, click next, Standard wallet (if it was), next, I already have a seed
If you have the recovery seed it always possible to retrieve the funds somehow. Only question is whether it is neccessary to use another derivation path and/or perhaps with another
Of course.. going through support from bitcoin.com the gentleman is saying that via my extended public key it is showing 0 BCH transferred in or out of the wallet.. this is incorrect
He had me delete the sub wallet from my bitcoin.com wallet, then reimport the wallet with my seed phrase.. it’s not working... I’m actually starting to get worried..
Either they changed the derivation path for their hd wallet or you wrote the recovery phrase in wrong order. First make sure the path is correct, their devs would know
Highly unlikely I wrote the phrase wrong. While the wallet was still there and locked, I was able to see the seed phrase and it matched exactly to what I had written down upon creation
if not possible your recovery phrase is wrong but probably only by one word, or a mistake in order. You might end up spending a lot of time making small changes in the words and test
I was able to see the seed phrase even though the wallet was locked (which I think is stupid for a different reason) but it was the same 12 words same order
The correct order is that a row starts from left to right and continues to the next row. Is there any chance that you wrote it down with the order of columns (from top to bottom)?
That's a mystery to me. Should of worked. The wallet just overhauled big time, like major rework to the way it works that I'm not sure if it can even be considered a fork of the copay
Just tried importing seed into electron with multiple derivation paths... ZERO funds shown.. I’m looking at the address from coinbase I sent it to and it’s showing the funds
In newer versions the Bitcoin.com wallet is not so good at checking all the addresses. Try pressing the wallet name, then the three dots in the right corner, then wallet information
Them dropping the support for the encryption password because it wasn’t “high up on the list of features” was a stupid decision.. people with 0 tech knowledge will not be able..
Me too Im still trying to figure out why in the hell not rolling that feature into the new wallet was even considered. I can’t think of one good reason.. I mean, it was already coded
I am literally obsessive with writing everything down... I know this is my seed phrase... but this shit seems gone... I’m so bummed.. that was a lot that I don’t know how to recoup
Do not worry, have faith. I believe everything happens for a good reason or something. Maybe if the money was not lost you would have been robbed or fallen into addiction and died.
