Topic: BTC Segwit Address not recognised by my Ledger Nano S Wallet - page 2. (Read 801 times)

Did you buy nano directly from authorized reseller or direct from theyr web site ? if its bought from 3rd party than there is possibility that someone had built in some software that generate adress (like hacking) so your founds actually goes to the person who scamed you..

That would work assuming he had somehow managed to copy an "old" LTC SegWit address by mistake... however, the screenshot would indicate that the OP was using a BTC wallet.

Did the "old" Chrome apps just show BTC for all wallets? I don't remember... If so, maybe it's worth a shot.

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

There you go. Easier for everyone now, who wants to check it out. I am Pasting the image here. I think it's correct...

Did you try to set the coin LTC and BCH  on ianColeman , and trying both seeds combinations with all 3 coins? I would check all possibilities as suggested above...

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?

this derivation path suggested here?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2736539.new#new

Ok thats good, It rules out the possibility of sending to the wrong address. did you try the other suggestions, using both the new seed and old seed on iancoleman, with a different derivation path.

Does this work?

I really do appreciate all of your suggestions, questions and help but as you can imagine this has been going on for the past 4 months now and it seems that I will never actually retrieve them. Everything that has been suggested has been tried numerous times including resetting all app data, chrome, iancoleman.io including every deriv path etc, etc.

It seems that the ledger does not recognise the BTC Segwit Address it gave me for whatever reason.

Answering your questions - I requested 3 addresses from the ledger (BTC Segwit, BCH & LTC) - I took screenshots of all 3 of these addresses and what's app'ed them to my friend to send me the coins. The BCH & LTC worked fine and were received perfectly by the ledger. The BTC was also transferred correctly but this was never received in the ledger like the BCH & LTC.

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?

Ahhhhh this brings back memories... not sure why that thread feel off my notifications list? I never noticed that the OP had made the final reply??!? Apologies for that.

Right, I have to ask the obvious question then... Given that you were copying both LTC and BTC addresses... I assume you checked the LTC "sign message" list for what you believe is the BTC address?

Or used the iancoleman.io tool and set the coin to LTC with your seed and checked those addresses for what you think is the BTC address?

@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
- is this 36ezRREz... address exist in your LTC receive address? (probably not but...)
- then I'm pretty sure you have the wrong seed used (address was from old seed) or LTC/BTC mismatched use
- is it possible somehow your Mxxx LTC address was used and translated to its corresponding 3xxx address that you received on BTC chain

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

Then maybe tell us what you've already tried unsuccessfully? If you've already spent months with Ledger support, you probably should have led with that in the OP...

Your original post made it sound like this was a recent happening and you were asking for assistance.

We attempt to assist and all you say is "you can't help"... And don't provide information requested.

As I already stated, it might seem obvious to you that you're 100% sure that you typed stuff in correctly... It's also obvious to me that I've seen multiple users who were 100% sure their password was right... Or that they had written the seed down correctly... Only to find that in fact they'd made a mistake.

Standard Operating Procedure for troubleshooting is to start with the basic, "obvious" stuff and work from there.

You said:
Which basically says you got an address from somewhere, you sent coins, you can't see those coins in your wallet.

So we start with the basics. Apparently, this is a waste of your time?

Had you also mentioned all the troubleshooting steps you tried (BTW, "I tried everything" doesn't cut it... That tells us NOTHING)... We wouldn't have to suggest things that you've already tried... Remember, we aren't mind readers!

I can't help you, but I think this is one of the best places to look for help.there are some very knowledged members here.
Create an account at www.imgur.com and paste the photo there.
Then paste the link to the photo here.

Its obvious you can't help me and I have no idea how to post a photo on here. I can What's App it to you if that works?

BTW - When you see the screenshot of it and its correct - how can you help?

Actually that is exactly what posting the photo will prove... Because then we'll be able to know if the photo matches the address you have stated.

It will also show that the address you sent to was displayed within your Ledger wallet.

What you need to understand is that there have been numerous instances of users on this forum claiming that "it was typed 100% correct"... Only to discover later that in fact the password or recovery seed or address was in fact typed incorrectly.

At this moment, we only have your word for it. It's nothing personal, and given how adamant you are, I'm sure it's true... But a copy of the photo would prove it 100%

The address was not mistyped, it is correct. No need to try and post a photo, it won't change or prove anything I have not already stated.

You cannot post images because you are a newbie in this forum.
If you post the photo on some website like imgur.com, just link the address here and I will post for you.

An address can easily be mistyped....
o instead of 0 for example, S and 5, I and l

I never tried to type an address, always ctrl C + ctrl V.

According to the bitcoin wiki the chances of a misstyped address being valid is 1 in 2³² or 1 in 4.29 billion.

OP mentioned the address does not show up under the signing tool 

This issue has nothing to do with signing messages... what Lucius was talking about was copying an address from the "Sign message" dropdown list of addresses rather than clicking on the "Receive" tab...

When you use the "Sign Message" dropdown box... it shows several hundred addresses and I believe it actually includes "change" addresses as well. In addition, these addresses are not necessarily displayed in chaincode order... so the first address displayed is not necessarily address m/49'/0'/0'/0.

The issues this causes are that if you use one of the addresses from this dropdown list as a "receive" address... it's possible you're actually selecting some address way down the chain like address m/49'/0'/0'/87... which is likely to be out past the "gap limit" that the Ledger wallet is using when looking for addresses with transaction history etc. So, if you receive coins to it, Ledger wallet won't find the transaction.

Anyway, this situation doesn't seem to apply to the OP as they're saying they used the "receive" tab, which should use the first "unused" receive address. So, they either entered the Bitcoin address incorrectly (although I'm not even sure what the odds of generating a valid address when mistyping an address are? )... or they're done something weird like accidentally use a Litecoin address or something like that.

It would help if the OP still has the photo they took of the original address... without that it will be difficult to prove/disprove the mistyped address scenario. Although, using the "Signed Message" option, you can start typing an address and it shows the partial matches. ("Settings -> Tools -> Sign Message", click the "Address" box and type the first couple of characters of the address).
