@@CryptoGuide Yes. But I want to know my private key the way I know my public key, if possible. Otherwise, do I really control my private key if I don't know what it is?
Firstly, the private keys are derived from the seed phrase, so you do control it. If you want to verify that the addresses your trezor is producing are right for your seed, you can load up Ian Coleman's tool that I used in this video in an air-gapped TAILS Linux environment (th-cam.com/video/SztQ_YdTD2s/w-d-xo.html) and then see the addresses, public keys and private keys. (th-cam.com/video/ZnSBer66W8s/w-d-xo.html) You don't need to store them separately as they are all generated from your seed phrase.
Hi, On Bitrue, I accidentally sent to BTC instead of BCH, I couldn't see the address after reaching 30k on Mnemonic. Can I still locate the address for the PK?
Is there any reason to worry about these services that can read your account info in order to generate tax return reports?- They have to be able to log onto the exchange- makes me nervous.
Hey, sorry to comment on such an old video, but this video best represents where my question comes from. That being said I've been watching a lot of your videos and I find that you have the clearest way of explaining complicated things in the crypto realm. So, I wish to thank you for all your hard work and dedication!!! My question is what's the danger level of an Extended Fingerprint (XFP)? Is this something to keep just as safe as a BIP39 Mnemonic? or does the XFP pose as a milder risk of security, like an Extended Public Key, where I'm losing my privacy and not security?
Thanks, glad you found it helpful :) Basically an XFP doesn't actually leak anything. It's not completely unique (but unique enough to unambiguously identify your own wallets) nor can be be used to generate addresses like an XPUB.
Can I use this tool to generate a 100 wallets that have no funds in them yet? I just need the private keys and wallet address for these 100 wallets. I am currently using a Ledger Nano X with a passphrase. If not, what is a safe tool to do this?
Hi, provided I have a paper wallet generated with this tool, with several deposits using public keys, can I safely send partial payment using one of the private keys involved (thus leaving the balance on the paper wallet), or it is safer swap the entire content of the paper wallet?
If you have the funds split across several addresses then yes, it's quite straightforward to sweep one address into Coinomi, then send the change (whatever btc value is left unspent on that address) back to another receive address in the wallet once you are done. Let me know if you need more clarification on exactly how you would do this.
@@CryptoGuide Thanks for your reply.. I am actually testing my paper wallet...I have created my seed and sent few sats to one public adsress.. Now I am willing to seep one private key (from that public adress) but I was in doubt if this could compromise safety of the whole paper wallet...
Ah, my bad, just noticed that I accidentally dropped it from the description. Have added it back in, you can find it here: cryptoguide.tips/files/2019-08-07%20Crypto%20Keys%20-%20What%20Can%20You%20Share/What%20Can%20I%20Share.pdf (It actually has a fix in it from a mistake in the video about the BIP32 root key)
How do I find the private key to a specific ethereum address? When I use the tool (from my 24-word ledger pass phrase) it spits out many ethereum addresses but I cannot find the specific one I am looking for. I add thousands of rows and search for that address but cannot find it. The address at the very top of the output is the one I most recently created, but that is not the one I am interested in. There must be a way to find a specific address, right?
How old is the ledger wallet? Ledger used a different Eth path for any wallets created before ledger live. Basically you need to use the right "derivation path". If you select the "BIP32" tab and then select "Coinomi/Ledger" when you have eth selected as your coin, the addresses you are looking for will probably be there.
Video deserves 1000 Likes!
Glad you like it :)
My question is: How do I find my private key on my trezor so I can write it down on a separate piece of paper?
Your seed phrase is the only backup you really need. Did you write that down when you first set your Trezor up?
@@CryptoGuide Yes. But I want to know my private key the way I know my public key, if possible. Otherwise, do I really control my private key if I don't know what it is?

Did you sent the BCH to an address starting with a 3 or a 1?
Is there any reason to worry about these services that can read your account info in order to generate tax return reports?- They have to be able to log onto the exchange- makes me nervous.
Are they just asking for an API key or for your full username and password?
Could you show how to install it on tails Linux and how to use it there?
It's actually covered in this video here: th-cam.com/video/SztQ_YdTD2s/w-d-xo.html

Damn, that was helpful. Finally an easy way to create a 24word wallet. Thx a lot!

You can, you just want to be sure to only run it in an offline amnesic environment like Tails Linux.
@@CryptoGuide Thanks! Do you have tutorial on exactly how to do this?
I have a video that looks at creating a wallet with dice that covers most of it, also have some on setting up Tails
@@CryptoGuide Thanks again.. I will take a look at it

This is another amazing video you made. I have been looking for a tutorial like this this week. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful :)
Great video. If I send Bitcoin to anyone of those addresses I can access my Bitcoin bin electrum by inputting my seed phrase?
That's right, if you put your seed in to Electrum and select the same derivation path that you used in the tool, you will get the same addresses.
Where can I download your pdf file?

very helpful to get out of coinomi hell. thanks
So what issues were you having with Coinomi?
