Cannot restore wallet, seed words invalid

Open 78bash opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When I try to restore the wallet from its 24 seed words in any other wallet it returns that the seed words are invalid. My coins are stuck. Edit: To be specific, some wallets report an INVALID CHECKSUM

The BETA version of bowser didnt generate the seed properly, v1 does. Dont panic though, you can still recover the funds, just update and restore from seed, the new version is backwards compatible

Will leave open for anyone else with the same issue

I confirm, as mentioned here that after a git clone ... of the repository and using uBitcoin library v0.1.2 that the seed words can be successfully restored. Thank you Ben.
