*Keep in mind, this was done 2019/20 as well, so what little i did remeber about moving it there, is just a messy blur now.

Do you recall anything when looking at this CryptoBit screenshot? If no, you probably used one of cryptocurrency software/wallet included by BitKey OS.



ok, i will go into more detal, i dont know alot of programing, so i am just learning as i go, but, using: ~snip URL~  and ~snip URL~ i sent my transaction to http://127.0.0.1:8080/. i have no idea how to read the data i have, all i know is that its there, and i cant get it off with the wallet i used to it moved there, my understanding of command lines is little to nill.

Which of these two exactly did you use and created your wallet Bitkey or CryptoBit?

I never heard of CryptoBit wallet if you created your from that and sent to Bitkey wallet through that local URL(127.0.0.1)  then your BTC still on the first wallet where you made the transaction because that is not the way how to send BTC. It seems you are experimenting something. That is not a real Bitcoin; perhaps you are sending testnet or its signet?

FYI BitKey is a linux distro which include many cryptocurrency wallet/software. But since OP also mentioned CryptoBit, OP probably boot into BitKey and created wallet using CryptoBit.

Hi! Can you give me the transaction ID, so I can assist you? Normally, bitcoin is sent to addresses and not IPs.

Edit: to be absolutely clear, sending bitcoin to IPs is not possible since 2011. You can check here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2154396

To be clear, losing your private keys or seed phrase means your bitcoin is probably gone for good - no one can get your coins back. If someone offers you the option of recovering lost coins, they are probably trying to scam you.

Anyway, simply saying you have a "custom cold wallet" isnt enough information. You gotta give us a bit more info to help you out. Making your own cold wallet takes time and you gotta be real careful about details and securely.  Maybe consider using a hardware wallet from a trusted company instead.

Why not tell us what wallet you use in your cold wallet so that we know what we should need you to do?
If you are using an Electrum wallet, then from a cold wallet, you need the master public key and import it to an online device with Electrum.
Once it is successful and you have confirmed that you received BTC from that wallet, you can make a transaction from the online Electrum wallet, generate an unsigned transaction, transfer it to the cold wallet, sign the transaction, and move the signed transaction back to the online Electrum wallet.

That's the simple way to make transaction from cold storage/offline wallet.

No one can help you with the lack of details you've provided.   Don't post your seed phrase or any private keys, and your bitcoin will remain safe.  But, we're going to need some information to help you figure out what went wrong.

How did you create the cold wallet?

 It depends on what wallet you used, tell me what steps you took and what's the errors.
