A friend of mine sent 10 BTC to the second round of the Peerplays (PPY) ICO. In the middle of the crowdfund they changed the scheme, at the first time it was enough to keep the bitcoin private key, but then they started generating a new redemption pair. My friend never saved or lost this keypair and only has his bitcoin privkey.
4. CROWDFUND REDEMPTION KEY
This section explains how to locate your Private and Public Redemption Keys. All Crowdfund
participants require a Private Redemption Key to claim their PPY Tokens. The Peerplays Crowdfund ran from Feb 26 to May 14, 2017.
4.1 If you participated in the Crowdfund between Feb 26 and Apr 24:
Your Private Redemption Key is the bitcoin private key that corresponds to the bitcoin address from which you sent your bitcoin to the Peerplays Crowdfund. If you donated from one of the recommended wallets shown on the crowdfund webpage, instructions for how to find this Private Redemption Key are located in the section 5. “RECOMMENDED WALLET” INSTRUCTIONS below.
4.2 If you participated in the Crowdfund between Apr 24 and May 14:
During the Crowdfund you were required to download a unique Redemption Key pair (Private and Public Redemption keys), which was located inside a file called keypair.txt. Find the keypair.txt file on your hard drive, or wherever you have saved it. Open the file and locate the Private Key. This private key is the Private Redemption Key you will need in order to complete Step 3.5 as outlined above. You can simply copy and paste this Private Redemption Key into “Settings/Balance Claims” in your Peerplays core wallet to claim your PPY tokens.

Please help me to redeem my PPY! I’ve invested a big sum for me to support Peerplays, 10 BTC, and cannot claim the balance. I’m not a noob but somehow, I’m an active member of the crypto community... but either I made a mistake or something went mysteriously wrong.
I supported Peerplays donating 10 BTC with this tx:
https://blockchain.info/tx/1350833f1d806342a70a0081625208e820b82974cfbfb53de0a533627c0901d2Using one of my Electrum addresses 15r8TL98kj4KZpK4xy77MikpZLMHiFh33D
My public redemption key is: 18ZdopU3LMr6R16tLuSBDkbHefEo3xYFiJ
The point is that “somehow” I don’t have the redemption private “keypair.txt”. I can’t believe that I’ve lost it, or that I wasn’t properly prompted to download it at the moment of the donation. I’ve checked my hard drive, the recovered deleted files, etc. It’s not anywhere.
Since a few days earlier the redemption key was the BTC private key, maybe because of that I was confused or somehow didn’t kept the “keypair.txt” file or didn’t download it. This sound very rare to me, because I’m VERY familiar with cryptos since long ago. I can’t believe that this has happened to me.
I would like to ask you if you can help me to recover my 3570 PPY lost. I know that there are rules in the code, but maybe we can find a way to prove that the donor address it’s mine. I may sign a message or provide the private key from 15r8TL98kj4KZpK4xy77MikpZLMHiFh33D Or if you can give me any other suggestion. Any ideas?
This amount of money means a lot for me, I’m almost not sleeping during the last week and I’m desperate. Please help me to get the tokens that I really owe but I can’t claim.
