Strophy - Your guidance on next steps on my end is super clear. Now I understand how to proceed to give the type of data needed. Thanks!
My limitation is lack of access to the 2017 Chrome Jaxx version that I believe exported my saved off non-Dash-compliant priv keys. Jaxx did an automatic upgrade back then (without asking permission or asking if new backup desired first, which would have been a nice SW coding practice at upgrade time). It just did the upgrade and instantly un-paired all my coins. Jaxx had been super reliable for about a year of constant use before then.
I was able to use my 2017-exported priv keys saved off, to recover my BTC (yay) only, but not DASH or 4 other coins :-( The BTC recovery success makes me think I indeed saved off faithfully the jaxx-exported keys for the 5 other coins I had in Jaxx.
So, I'm pretty sure I saved off accurately the 2017 private keys from Jaxx. Had 6 coins in 2017 at auto-un-pair time, and have 6 sets of keys saved off back then - never want to have single point of failure for backups. (so back then I copy-pasted keys into an encrypted doc stored offline with paper backup, back in 2017) i.e. That backup is where I get the offending leading L//K char'ed 52-char Dash private keys. (want to shoot myself for somehow losing my jaxx backup phrases, me = idiot). I'm normally meticulous, but blew the phrases save somehow.
My results today:
Current version non-Liberty/regular Chrome Jaxx. Created new wallet. Dash wallet initialized but empty.
- Exports
legal Dash private key format. from a zero value Dash wallet.
(haven't tried putting a small value of Dash there and then exporting keys).
- Regular Jaxx refuses to import my 2017-Jaxx-exported Dash priv key, seems
to test its not a valid key format so no NEXT button shows up.
Liberty Jaxx beta: new wallet, Dash wallet initialized but empty.
- also exports DASH-
legal-format priv keys.
- Liberty Jaxx lacks the paper-wallet-transfer feature yet in the beta so cannot test importing my 2017 illegal-format Dash key.
per recent Jaxx support suggestion, i also used the
https://walletgenerator.net/?currency=Dash# tool to convert my badly-formatted Dash keys into properly formatted private keys - but the converted keys point to zero-value of Dash unfortunately.
As a trusted Dash admin, I'm willing to send you my 2017 priv keys if that has a potential path to success. Or I'd welcome any other next-step suggestion. Glad to send non-trivial amount of Dash for success.
Cheers,
Leigh
