So I sent 4 more 20cent deposits via kryptokit, waited for the transactions to be confirmed then tried again to swipe. This time the transaction failed right away and none of the assets were transferred. I assumed a total of 5 deposits would have given me the ability to transfer 5 assets in one transaction. So something else seems to be screwing up.
Its transacting with itself again. 1LA1fDA6AZDyPwXWtBZk8s2oKY3fgn4Nrq
I tried again, and this time only one transaction went through.
Hmm, if I’m reading this right, i’m only seeing one UTXO on that address: https://blockchain.info/unspent?active=1LA1fDA6AZDyPwXWtBZk8s2oKY3fgn4Nrq&format=html
20 is the maximum set in Counterwallet, but you can always access all your addresses regardless. Just remember you need to write down or otherwise safely store your Counterwallet pass phrase and not a private key that belongs to any given address from it (you can do that as well, but it’s not necessary because you can generate all private key by using the pass phrase).
About using Counterwallet Helper. Set search-depth to 23, in your case.
If you hate videos:
If you cannot display more than 20 addresses in your CW wallet, you can always create another wallet and sweep your balances from other addresses to it, but it’s merely a workaround - this should be fixed in Counterwallet and I think there’s a bug report for that (that 20 addresses are pre-created and displayed instead of just a few, unless you deliberately created 20 addresses manually).
If you sweep from a new wallet, you’d have to pay some transaction fee for each sweep.
Alternatively you can also use https://blockscan.com/tool_generatekey
It defaults to 3 addresses, but you can change the number of addresses count option to “23” and it will show all 23 addresses and the related private keys. You can then sweep anything above address “20” to any one of the other addresses so that you can continue using CW in its default mode
@mtbitcoin - is the order in which addresses get created is deterministic?
I seem to remember when I was using Counterparty Helper I would sometimes have to create more addresses.
It doesn’t change the fact that all belonging addresses and private keys can be reproduced, but I am just wondering if you know.
Yes, there is a fixed order. Assuming the same Derivation path for the keys, this means for example address No #5 will always be 5th address in line.
Here’s a good graphic from the BIP32 wiki…
The variable k in the Addresses column is an increasing sequence of integers, each one representing a new public/private key pair (labeled as external and internal on the graphic). The specific format used by Counterwallet (and XCP Wallet for Chrome which is why they are compatible) to generate private keys is:
m/0’/0/k
k is 0, 1, 2, 3, … (since the sequence starts with 0 the 23rd address is actually k=22)
If there is only one UTXO then that must mean no more where created when I made 4 more deposits which means UTXO’s are not what I thought they were. Please explain how I should go about creating more UTXOs.
Thank you for posting the how to use counterwallet helper video. I do have the passphrase and the keys from the counterwallet. The issue was that all for a time there were 40 addresses on my counterwallet and I chose wallet #23 because I liked the first few characters (like a vanity address). After sending assets to that address the counterwallet hid all addresses beyond 20. Nothing is lost… just hidden.
How much progress have you made on resolving this issue? I am caught up with the above solutions which seem like they would work, but can you still not access?
I haven’t had time to try some of the answers suggested. I was able to move assets one at time and that was good enough for now. There are some other quirky issues with the counterwallet including not being able to scroll down the page sometimes.
