Tried with ZEC paper wallet (from walletgenerator . net) and was not able later to import the balance to Zcash tools like Coinomi, Jaxx, WinZec. This is a screenshot from Coinomi to sweep the paper wallet generated. There is no encryption, just a paper wallet I made and printed and looked good. The public address used to get money from mining (flypool - has many transactions from them to me), and has balance in it and also the private address when trying to retrieve/sweep displays the balance. But I get error. Why ?
I also downloaded WinZec, imported the public/private key, all good, shows 0 balance which is definately wrong. Is there limits or problems or I dont know, I am looking for a solution
I just went online, donwloaded the zip file, extracted, generated the wallet (public + private), printed it and assigned the mining to pay to the public as it did. Heres the public address, I dont mind to share from Zcash block chain since its valid : https://zcashnetwork.info/address/t1Hu7iq1NBcWRwXzbpkMT6YNAqgcxxgQw1p
What version of WinZEC are you running? Assuming that everything is fully synced as mentioned above and the key was correctly imported the first thing I would try would be starting zcashd with the rescan flag. According to the docs:
-rescan
Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions on startup
This can take a while so just leave it running. You’ll need to interact with the underlying zcashd instance rather than the WinZEC frontend. So shut everything down and browse to c:\Program Files\winzec\app (default install location) and then open a command prompt there and enter zcashd.exe -rescan. Let it finish and fully sync and then you’ll then be able to open WinZEC and hopefully your funds will appear.
I earlier created paper wallet with this GitHub - adityapk00/zecpaperwallet: Zcash Sapling Paper Wallet Generator tool v1.2 and sent money to that address. How now I can spend this money? I have two private keys: one is started with “secret-extended-key-main…” and other just private key for t-address. When I enter first key to Zecwallet Lite v 1.8.8 it shows “Loading…” and gives no reaction, and with second key it shows error “The input key was not recognized as either a sapling spending key or a sapling viewing key” . What to do? or funds lost forever?
This particular program, as well as zecwallet lite in general, is deprecated so you should avoid further usage and you won’t have much luck with the mobile zecwallet lite anyways. You can however import these keys into Ywallet and it should restore.
This user (Regan) was indeed a scammer, sending people like @serga333 private messages, trying to get them to go to a phishing website where they are asked to “connect” their wallet by entering their seedphrase.
When attempting to restore the sapling key, does it include the extended-secret-main prefix? So that it looks something like this
secret-extended-key-mainl7g15gkdl…
The prefix is necessary, no spaces
( The transparent key seems to be recognized, but the current state of legacy Taddy support means that you might have to restore that one with a legacy transparent only wallet )
