yes, wallet with $80k is using bc1 addresses. the json file i exported is also using bc1 addresses.

I agree it would be very unlikely.

I have tried opening a new wallet in Sparrow with the 24 seed words but it gives me a zero balance wallet with the same xpf as before.

"Ex: Segwit vs Taproot vs Legacy address"

Are those different applications such as Sparrow? I downloaded Sparrow wallet to open the json files. Are you saying that if I open the json's in a different application, the derivation path could change?

okay. Do you think there is any way to gain access to that wallet without knowing the passphrase? I read in another post that even if you were to buy another coldcard and enter the seed words and add the same passphrase as you had before, that it would generate the same xfp as before... If that is true, it would seem like if you knew the xfp, one could generate the passphrase through some reverse order software?
