Topic: BTC Segwit Address not recognised by my Ledger Nano S Wallet (Read 802 times)

do you think this would also be the case for RDH40's problem? did he ever say anything about pairing Ledger+Electrum?
his seed mnemonic might have been generated by electrum, which might also be a valid BIP39 Mnemonic phrase
so when he tried it on iancoleman's page it gives out the BIP39 version instead of Electrum version

One of the key differences is that the BIP39 spec (and by extension IanColeman tool) uses a passphrase of "mnemonic" + yourpassphrase... whereas Electrum uses a passphrase of "electrum" + yourpassphrase.

I was trying some Electrum seeds from bitcoin quest on iancoleman BIP39 page but the page keeps saying invalid mnemonic

I was thinking maybe the same seed works on BIP39 and Electrum might actually derives different addresses if it was generated by Electrum

Another interesting point is that the seed mnemonic davedee has is actually recognised as a "SegWit" seed by Electrum... Even though it is supposedly a BIP39 seed generated by a Trezor??!?

This leads me to believe that, at least in davedee's case,  the seed they have written down is actually an Electrum seed... and not the actual seed from their Trezor that generated the "3".

Don't give up, exhaust all possibilities. Did you follow the steps i told you to do?

@RHD40, i am still waiting for our reply , did you do exactly what i said? you should have recovered the coins by now, if not you can shoot me a PM.

Unfortunately no, and at this point I'm willing to give out my seed to anyone if they promise to send half back if they can recover the coins. I feel it's better than letting the coins sit there.

Hi, you still have this problem?

Hi,

I tried this and it only shows my LTC transactions, nothing else. Also there is no option to 'go to the address tab' and look for any addresses.

Unless you tick the "remember my choice" option, the "Ledger Wallet Bitcoin" Chrome App asks on startup:



However, as it displayed a "3" type address (as proven by the posted photo)... the Ledger wallet should only have done this if the OP had selected "SegWit"... it's the only scenario in which you should get P2SH addresses from a Ledger wallet (even if you were using LTC prior to the change to "M" type addresses for LTC).

As things stand, I can only think of a few causes for this issue:

1. Previously unknown (but theoretically possible) malware that changed the "receive" address displayed by the older versions of the wallet. However, given that the 3.3 BTC has NOT been moved from that address, I'd guess that this is somewhat unlikely. Yes, I agree

2. It was actually an old LTC SegWit address using the "3" type addresses before Ledger upgraded. The screenshot says "BTC" but it might have been a graphical glitch in the older wallet... I can't confirm one way or the other as I can't get an old version of the wallet to test. If this is the case, it might be possible to use the solution provided by cryptonerddy. I tried this but nothing

3. Glitch with the derivation path used by the wallet. I've not seen another case of this before, but a lack of evidence does not disprove this theory.

4. The wallet that the address was generated from was NOT "Account 0"... but Account 1 or 2 etc. I'm unsure how likely this is... I believe the Ledger wallet shows an overview of ALL (used) accounts as the default dashboard... but still a possibility.

5. The wallet that the address was generated from was protected by BIP39 passphrase... OP claims they never used passphrase with this wallet (somewhat supported by the fact that they can see the BCH and LTC balances without needing to use a passprhase)

6. Something else... ? ? ?

It seems I'm doomed! Think we've run out of all possibilities!

@HCP you've tried to help him last time back in january
both of you might want to review what has been done and continue from that point

just pointing out some important points for clarification
- you resetted your ledger, written down the new 24 word seed
- obtained one BTC address & one LTC address and give them to your friend to receive some BTC & LTC
- both confirmed on its respective chain, but you no longer see BTC address in your ledger

just my thought on what you should check
- try iancoleman BIP39 with your old seed, I assume you've tried with new seed and not found
I don't have the old seed but I never obtained any addresses from this anyway - I never got that far
- is this 36ezRREz... address exist in your LTC receive address? (probably not but...)
No it doesn't
- then I'm pretty sure you have the wrong seed used (address was from old seed) or LTC/BTC mismatched use
The 24 word seed is definitely correct
- is it possible somehow your Mxxx LTC address was used and translated to its corresponding 3xxx address that you received on BTC chain
No this has not happened

I know all these suggestions sound far fetched,
but for 3.30941541 BTC you should try everything, even the unthinkable or impossible

Do this
Download Electrum LTC on your PC
Open it, click new wallet> standard wallet> i have seed> put the right seed there> click next then your wallet will be created. go to the address tab and look for this address MCs8jJexAf8UhxC4KgRneSayAx6Aincbbz
right click and copy the private key.
go to liteaddress.org click on the wallet details tab> paste the private key there. now copy the hexadecimal key given at the bottom of the page.

go to bitaddress.org, also go to the wallet details tab and paste the hexadecimal key there, it should give you two addresses and two different keys. copy the compressed private key and go to segwitaddress.org, scroll down to the last tab and paste the key there, you'll find that it matches the address.

now import the key into electrum and your coins would show

here's my address, leave a big tip 19Q2fJ2qEfLXnYpQU7eqAGCeucK8NVapw6

Is there a way on your ledger to turn on/off segwit address usage?

Hi, i know what your problem is and i will post the guide here on how to recover the coins, if you agree to leave a tip after you've claimed it?

---snip---
It seems that the ledger does not recognise the BTC Segwit Address it gave me for whatever reason.
---snip---
Since then I have learnt that the ledgers xpub does not match the BTC Segwit Address but it does the BCH & LTC - so how is this possible?
