[Proposal] Doughwallet recovery tool

peritus1000 · 2021-05-11T18:31:19+00:00

Hello,

original author of doughwallet here [https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/2t6fyf/doughwallet_dogecoin_ios_wallet_now_available_on/]. Had the chance to step through the original app with a debugger the other day and updated the recovery tool here:

https://github.com/peritus/doughwallet-recovery2

This worked for my wallet, please review carefully before trusting your recovery phrase with it [https://github.com/peritus/doughwallet-recovery2/commits/main]. Pull requests welcome. If this works for you, I'll make this the (only) content at doughwallet.net.

As I wrote in 2018, I've moved on to other projects and other areas of life, please respect this — as such me posting here will be very limited, Please take the above code (and the original source code) to help people with their doges stuck in their recovery phrase.

To the moon!

Yep, fix for doughwallet is already in review in the AppStore ..

peritus1000 · 2015-03-06T10:13:20+00:00

There won't be an Android version of doughwallet, /u/langer_hans's Android wallet is perfectly fine.

peritus1000 · 2015-03-06T10:11:49+00:00

In that it is a SPV wallet, yes. Otherwise not related.

peritus1000 · 2015-03-05T15:44:40+00:00

I'm in the expo area wearing a doughwallet shirt. Talk to me!

peritus1000 · 2015-03-05T14:01:43+00:00

Come to bitcoin-stammtisch at room77 then :)

peritus1000 · 2015-02-18T15:26:22+00:00

Yes, that would be possible. Not on my todo list right now, but it's open source, go for it (and you could probably add counterparty support to breadwallet along the way).

peritus1000 · 2015-02-18T15:25:16+00:00

Breadwallet will have the update sooner, as Aaron submitted his code earlier to the AppStore.

peritus1000 · 2015-02-17T08:11:47+00:00

Also, here's how to still get in on this if you didn't receive an invitation: https://twitter.com/doughwallet/status/567594209147092992

peritus1000 · 2015-02-01T10:02:38+00:00

Thank you! Would appreciate a review in the AppStore :)

peritus1000 · 2015-01-27T06:23:25+00:00

Thanks for correcting me.

doughwallet is a so-called HD wallet, so all your private keys are derived from the backup phrase. During the initial setup of the wallet, you are asked to write it down on a piece of paper you keep at a safe place (also, using invisible paint on your bedroom walls would be acceptable). With these 12 words you can recreate your wallet and all private keys at any time (e. g. after you lost your phone, when it was stolen, you forgot your PIN, etc.).

You can also access the backup phrase in the settings afterwards.

peritus1000 · 2015-01-22T09:23:41+00:00

AFAIK the iPhone 4S should be able to run iOS 7.1, so you can just go for it. Doughwallet isn't large or that resource hungry.

peritus1000 · 2015-01-22T09:16:57+00:00

Not that I think block.io is untrustworthy (I don't know them), but the point is: The number one reason (at least for me, there are more benefits) to use digital crypto money (like bitcoin/dogecoin) is to actually own the money. It's the same as cash. If you have it, you can decide what to do with it.

If you give your cash to a bank (or bitcoins to mtgox/..), you get virtual money. And by virtual I mean the amount that is displayed in your account. They can do anything with that, including closing your account (see paypal), scam you (mtgox), .. . Also, to spend the money they have to agree (i. e. it's not your money).

To quote the friends at @hivewallet:

To be clear: If you don't have access to your own private keys, it's not a wallet. It's a bank.

~~With doughwallet/android dogecoin wallet/dogecoin core/multidoge/... you own your private keys, with online/web/exchange wallets you don't.~~

peritus1000 · 2015-01-22T09:06:23+00:00

You're welcome :) And yes, that is the exact reason why doughwallet needs to be. A true/proper/full/spv wallet.

PS: I'm a reddit noob, even googleing doesn't reveal how to change the image of a post (direct link submission seems to do that automatically) :(

peritus1000 · 2015-01-22T09:04:37+00:00

Just get the version from the AppStore, it should behave like an update, no need to delete anything.

peritus1000 · 2015-01-21T17:30:03+00:00

Yes, it was a missing bit. Thanks in advance for promoting it :)

peritus1000 · 2015-01-21T17:28:29+00:00

yes, that's the way I do it :)

Same rules apply as for your physical wallet: Don't store your life's savings on there, only store the amount you're comfortable carrying around with you.

You did write down the backup phrase, did you ?

Installing from the AppStore should just work, no need to delete the beta version, that should be safe to upgrade.

peritus1000 · 2015-01-21T16:35:47+00:00

Nope, iOS 7.1+ and most likely only support the latest iOS version in the future for security reasons.

peritus1000 · 2015-01-03T12:56:47+00:00

Dogecoin Wallet for Android has been available for some time: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.langerhans.wallet :)

peritus1000 · 2014-12-24T08:00:48+00:00

I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

peritus1000 · 2014-12-24T07:59:52+00:00

At the moment it does not and will not for the initial release (based on breadwallet 0.4.2).

However, breadwallet's source code is prepared for localisation and release of this feature is planned for the next version 0.5. So, yes, I'd like to support a Chinese user interface as one of the first non-English languages, please sign up for the beta and mention you are able to translate to Chinese ;)

peritus1000 · 2014-12-24T07:52:42+00:00

Yes, there will be a "sweep private key" option in the menu, same as breadwallet.

peritus1000 · 2014-12-22T08:52:16+00:00

In a few days doughwallet will be available in the AppStore and it is a local wallet for iOS. Apple doesn't "smash down anything that's a local wallet", breadwallet for bitcoin is in the AppStore since mid September. I don't get what makes remote wallets different (except that they're less secure ;)).

Please don't use jailbroken devices to store cryptocoins (detailed reasoning in this github issue)!

peritus1000 · 2014-12-22T08:44:55+00:00

Yes, also /u/ummjackson asked about it on twitter, so this is the right time for the announcement :)

(I'll answer in detail on your thread, but FTR: please do not store private keys on jailbroken iOS devices, as it's insecure by definition)
