Sounds like a straightforward recovery. Just use an address database.

Glad it helped :)

Thanks :)

Glad you linked it :)

I haven't had any issues with the shipping side, but do have issues with the way that everyone just gives them a free pass for not being Open Source...

Took a few hours to work it all out, then took a few weeks for all the hardware to arrive from AliExpress and a few hours test that it actually worked :)

@@CryptoGuide wow, that's quicker than I expected, it was very nice to see how you got the pinout from the source code, I really enjoy the electronic haking videos:) I'd love you to do some kind of benchmark of all the diy wallets, of which you have many by now

Most of the heavy lifting for this one was done in the prep for the Trezor One video ;) I'll certainly need to put together a feature comparison for DIY options in the coming months are I have certainly got quite a selection now :)

@@CryptoGuide great idea. Other ideas I would be interested on a video on your recover activities with some stats, what are the wallet people struggle the most, what is the top issues etc...

Yea I will probably do that in the next little while. The short summary is that *many* folk screw up BIP39 passphrase, particularly with Trezor as it is on by default and folk don't understand what it means when they enter a password into the hidden wallet prompt in Trezor Suite. The main issue with folk who intentionally use a passphrase is when people have just memorized it, rather than write it down. I do also get a bunch of folk who have typos in 12 word seeds. Then there are folk who have got funds stuck in either crap/new/nonstandard wallets or apps.

It's just like the Trezor One in that the release bootloader locks the system down the first time it runs, so has the same type of tamper resistance and trust model in terms of running official firmware, etc. (Same as Trezor, Coldcard, basically anything running an STM32 MCU) It's less secure than Jade in the sense that the encrypted private keys still live on the device and are decrypted using only your PIN, whereas with Jade, your device needs some data from the blind oracle (Which needs your PIN) to be able to decrypt the keystore.

Do you mean blockchain.com wallet or for a given seed?

@@CryptoGuidefor both of them

@@CryptoGuide both of them

Firstly, you can't check the balance of a blockchain.com wallet if you can't login/decrypt it. To check the balance of a seed then you just need to load it into a wallet that supports the chains/coins that you were using with it.

@@CryptoGuide thanks, is there anysoftware that can recover seeds and check balance automaticly

Yes. Info here: cryptoguide.tips/recovery-services-consultations/

It's just the same as the normal pin, basically if you get three incorrect guesses then it will wipe the Ledger. That said, if you know your non-passphrase PIN, you can just use that to unlock it and it will reset the pin-fail counter back so that you get another three tries.

You don't need to spam multiple comment threads, one is enough. If you have the wallet file, what's stopping you from just opening it in Electrum?

@@CryptoGuide Sorry bro, I just don't know how to do it... I've been trying for days.

So what happens when you open Electrum and select the wallet file that you have?

Basically Jade runs on ESP32 and is basically running on bare metal, not something like MicroPhython. It would actually be easier to port Krux to ESP32 or STM32, as Krux runs on MicroPython and this makes it easier to move Krux to other platforms that also support MicroPython.

Great idea, will certainly keep it in mind.

If you forgot your PIN them your only option is to restore the XPRV from a backup.

No, they are completely different hardware platforms. That said, Jade does support running in QEMU, so you could emulate it if you want. (Though this won't just be plug and play)

@@CryptoGuide thank you sir 💪

No worries :)

​@@CryptoGuide holly sh*** wow, I completely missed a video on the topic! I've become obsessed with DIY projects lately after taking a few years off. There's definitely going to be a lot to keep me busy this winter!

I haven't done a video on using QEMU, but know that it's a supported build config and that some folk at Blockstream were playing around with it and had it running there :)

I'm working on a cheaper specter Shield, but if you want cheap then a Jade for $10 USD is hard to beat

If you enable the password or biometrics then you will need to enter these when you open the app itself.

If you have lost all 12 words then unfortunately you have caused an unrecoverable loss.

It's on the ToDo list :)

@@CryptoGuide Thank you!

No worries

You will need to use some wallet software to be able to send funds, as you need to create the transaction itself. (Even if you are signing via QR codes or something)

Coldcard isn't open source. The source can be viewed on their GitHub, but other developers and companies can't build on it, so there is no incentive for actual technical people to be working on their codebase. (Which is very different from something like Trezor) So basically Coldcard doesn't have the full benefit of distributed review that something like Trezor has...

@@CryptoGuide I have read your comparison document and I see that you have ranked Coldcard and keystone 3 pro at Top 3 safest of security score of 95. I am long term bitcoin only holder. I am experienced hardware wallet user, currently using trezor safe 3, which you ranked at 76 security points. Am i correct to assume that despite Coldcard not fully open source is a safe wallet for bitcoin only holding? Because i can see my sats on blockchain..? My goal is the safest device for long term Btc hold. I take full responsibility for risk. I am grown man and not tik tok type of kid :) Specifically my intuition said Coldcard Q + Sparrow is the best choice or am i wrong? Thank you so much for your answer and taking your precious time answering my questions :)

Coldcard is probably fine in the same way that Ledger is probably fine... If you look at the feature breakdown, you will see that the difference in score between something like the Coldcard and something like the Safe3 is related to multisig functionality and offline-by-default operation. "Best" will really come down to how you plan to use it and your technical ability, so if you are a less technical user and want something similar to a Coldcard then something like the Foundation Passport or Keystone offer similar functionality but are much more accessible. That said, if you are prepared for the learning curve, then Coldcard Q is fine too.

If you have a private key for the address for went then you don't need the seed, you can just import it directly into your wallet software.

@@CryptoGuide thanks boss appreciate it.

No worries, best of luck.

So are you saying that you have 0/24 words? If so then you have caused an unrecoverable loss.

Of course, that is exactly what this video is about...

@@CryptoGuide Thanks sir. I've connect the metamask to roninchain and recover it. Subcribed !!!!

Good job, fee free to shoot a tip to any of the addresses here cryptoguide.tips/send-me-a-tip/

It wasn't a tutorial, it was a demo of the unboxing setup and a review :) But yea, it is a very complicated device, most users are probably better off sticking with something like a Trezor. :)

It just automatically checks the change derivation path and if the hardware matches it, it doesn't display it. (Most hardware wallets do this)

There are many on this channel

Sounds like you didn't check the box to add python to your path

@@CryptoGuide I didn't the first time but I kept reinstalling and checking the box without it fixing, how do I fix this? I also searched how to change the path manually and did it.

Manually adding it to the path is the fix if you didn't check the option on install

@@CryptoGuide It didn't work so now I'm stuck

So can you run "python" from the command line at all? If not then you will need to work out how you are messed up your path.

So what's your specific issue with your seed?

@@CryptoGuide I remember only 6 words of my 12 word phrase. 2 of them on exact position - the rest I can narrow to probably 20-30 words. Is there a chance to succeed ? About jaxx I understand that’s not a problem that they no longer function, right ?

So are you saying that you are certain of 6, know the words but not position of 2 and the remaining four are certainly part of the set of 30 words?

@@CryptoGuide6 words I know Exact position - 2/6 Remaining 6/30

So how many are completely unknown? It sounds like you generally have a math problem, not a software problem...

Howso and compared to what?

@@CryptoGuide Safepal S1 is easier to use than this, or if you are looking for an air gap but open source, you can use Keystone 3 Pro, people who are using a hardware wallet for the first time are not suitable for Foundation Passport

I have an S1 and really find that it sucks quite badly... Fully closed source, so air-gapped doesn't help very much with the S1...

Stop spamming across multiple comment threads and accounts... Stick to a single thread...

Basically the state/memory of the device is preserved when you flash new firmware over the top, so if you don' thave secure boot and flash encryption, malicious firmware could simply wait until after you have unlocked the device and then retain/leak them after that.

@@CryptoGuide Understood thanks, so in this scenario the maliciously flashed device must be returned to an unwitting owner.

Not really, malware on your PC could remotely flash it as soon as you connect it over USB (Or at any time after) and then facilitate the exfil of all the private key material. Reflashing it would take less than 60 seconds and the only thing you would see on the screen is the device would reboot unexpectedly.

Just use the tokenlist based process that I cover in the video on descrambling a seed.

@CryptoGuide Any way to recover my tokens. I have 20k usd

So are you saying that you have your recovery phrase (12 or 24 words) but that you have forgotten part of your BIP39 passphrase?

@@CryptoGuide I don't remember my passphrase.

So basically you will need to work out what it was, either by trying different options manually or using tools like BTCRecover to help brute-force it

Thanks

You certainly don't need a space, though on the Q it uses more of an auto-complete type function for adding BIP39 words.

Glad it helped :)

Firstly, it's normal for your address to change every time you receive funds. That said, if you sent the funds to an address that isn't associated with your wallet, you still need to with our where you got the address from...

@@CryptoGuide the address is associated with the wallet but I still haven’t received the money

So can you see it unconfirmed if your look it up on a block explorer?

@@CryptoGuide the DeFi wallet can’t be seen on explorer, I tried sending $2 again to check but I didn’t receive it either , it shows completed on my other wallet

⁠​⁠​⁠@@CryptoGuideit’s a DeFi wallet, I can’t see it on block explorer, I sent $2 dollar btc again to check it out and I still didn’t receive any coin , it showed transaction complete on my other wallet

Basically the goal here is to avoid a situation where the keys are on a hot device
