Maza Wallet private key broken
LutzLange opened this issue · 5 comments
I did use this, probably online back in March or April 2014 to generate a paper wallet for Maza Coin. My private key starts with 6y...
This key does not work and I don't have access to my funds on this address. It looks like this has been encoded the wrong way. I need help to find out how to convert the key I have into a working WIF format.
I tried the old releases of the Wallet Generator but have not found a version yet that produces priv keys for Maza that start with 6... they all start with 8 now.
It looks like I generated "MegaCoin" paper wallets and this is why I can't access my funds. Is there any way get this right? Can I somehow extract my private key and get access to the address that now has my funds?
What is odd is that the address did work to deposit funds. It looks like I have the same problem with the Qubit Coin. This can't be a coincidence. I'm hoping for a chance that just the private key format was off for me. I know that you can get at the private keys and can build correct WIF private keys form import into the wallets. How would I do that?
Mazacoin and Megacoin have the same public address format, so your funds should be fine. What you have to do is to fix the private key to be imported properly:
- open walletgenerator to the 'wallet detail' tab, select the 'megacoin' currency and enter your private key to be decoded
- copy the
Private Key Hexadecimal Formatvalue. This is your raw private key - switch to the mazacoin currency and enter your raw private key to have the detail
- you should get a private key properly encoded now
Please report here if it worked for you.
Thought I had this updated.
Your procedure worked fine for me. Thank you so much!!
