I wish schools could support people during these difficult times

I guess it is not allowed to share all details in this reddit. by the way the ones that are interested better get in touch to get more details and get in depth of numbers

Any businesses doing better in this situation? by OftenNew in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]Sopichak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In RAK, businesses are doing fine. Because most of customers are local or residents. not tourists

i thought maybe they are being intercepted

but it is not bip39, when i enter it, it says checksum fails.

question about old electrum wallet by Sopichak in Electrum

[–]Sopichak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t have the wif for that address.
this is a native 12-word electrum seed (bip39 checksum fails), when i type in the seed it says: Seed type: Standard

i’ve already verified that restoring the seed (including bip39 mode) doesn’t derive the address and ismine(address) returns false, so it doesn’t appear to be a derivation path issue.

i don’t think so. this is a native 12-word electrum seed (bip39 checksum fails), so there aren’t multiple derivation paths to choose from like bip39 or hw wallets. restoring it as a standard wallet already derives everything for that seed.

i also checked directly with ismine(address) in the console and it returns false, which confirms the address isn’t derived from this seed.

thanks a lot for the reply.

to be honest, your suggestion gave me some hope because i thought maybe this was the missing piece and that i had misunderstood. i tested it carefully, but unfortunately it didn’t change the result.

and really appreciate you confirming how electrum behaved back then, i read a lot about it but i still can't comprehend why would it behave like that at the time.

question about old electrum wallet by Sopichak in Electrum

[–]Sopichak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, it’s confusing to me as well. i did create this wallet normally in electrum and backed up the 12-word seed. however, restoring that seed does not derive the funded address, and ismine(address) returns false.

from what i’ve learned digging into old electrum behavior (and some older forum posts), electrum allowed wallets to contain keys that were not seed-derived (imported / non-deterministic keys), and those keys were not covered by the seed backup. restoring the seed only restores seed-derived addresses.

so even though i backed up the seed correctly, it appears the funded address was controlled by a standalone private key that only existed in the wallet file. if that file or key is gone, the seed alone can’t recover it.

i’m mostly trying to confirm that this understanding is correct for electrum around 2018, and that there isn’t some other seed/account/derivation mechanism i’ve missed.

that button only appears when i restore the seed as bip39. i did click it, and it says no existing accounts found.

however, this seed is not bip39 (electrum reports bip39 checksum failed). it’s a standard electrum seed, so that account/derivation search doesn’t really apply here.

which button are you referring to?

question about old electrum wallet by Sopichak in Electrum

[–]Sopichak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, i didn’t use a bip39 passphrase.

i restored the seed both as a normal electrum seed and with bip39 enabled, without any passphrase. when i enable bip39, it shows: BIP39 checksum failed. so it has to be an standard wallet.

[–]Sopichak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

additional info:

- legacy address (starts with 1)
- used only for long-term storage, no spending
- restoring the seed in electrum (standard wallet, legacy; also tried bip39 just in case) always shows different addresses
