Hi Hmm, your Bitcoin cannot disappear. Are you saying the address that it was on is not displayed in Counterwallet any more? In that case you could add it again as per this FAQ > [@My address in Counterwallet disappeared! (How to add new regular address)](https://forums.counterparty.io/t/my-address-in-counterwallet-disappeared/1222): > > Short Answer Log on to Countewallet, in top left corner click on Create New Address \> Create Regular Address to have it reappear. Longer Answer Because Counterwallet is a [deterministic wallet](https://forums.counterparty.io/t/what-is-a-deterministic-wallet/1211), every wallet “knows” about all addresses it can possibly have, so the “missing” address (in reality, just one of few dozen addresses associated with the wallet that happens to not be displayed) should become visible again. Counterwallet addresses cannot “disappear” because they are cryptographically tie… ---

> [@tigermoth101](#): > > 19U6MmLLumsqxXSBMB5FgYXbezgXYC6Gpe So it looks like you sent 1 BTC to your address, and it appears to still be there. Let me ask you this, when you log into your counterparty wallet on counterwallet, do you actually see your BTC address there? If you dont, I have a solution that might work: Keep creating new wallets in counterwallet until yours reappears, this is a bug in the code right now If you do see your BTC address there, then we need to take additional troubleshooting steps ---

- You could add up to 20 addresses (13-14 more?), it takes a minute or so, or - You could try another instance of Counterwallet (e.g. from CoinDaddy), or - You could use this utility to list the private key for the address and then [sweep](https://forums.counterparty.io/t/how-to-sweep-xcp-or-btc-from-a-blockchain-info-wallet/1215) that address from Counterwallet (to “move” whatever is on it to another address that does show in your Counterwallet) [Is it possible to create list of addresses and private keys from Counterwallet pass phrase?](https://forums.counterparty.io/t/is-it-possible-to-create-the-list-of-addresses-from-counterwallet-pass-phrase/1223) ---

Hmm, at this point I’m starting to suspect that you’re logged into a wrong wallet… This is the first time I hear someone has generated 20 addresses and still can’t see the missing address. If you use the 3rd approach (from my earlier comment above), you can display an arbitrary number of addresses that could be managed by your wallet, but I understand that CP never uses more than 20, and that those are generated in the same order (if I remember correctly). So if you don’t see it now, it’s more likely that you’re not logged into the right wallet, than that it might appear if you use CounterwalletHelper to generate 35 or 40 addresses. ---

Logging into the wrong wallet happens when a word is misspelled and mistaken for another valid word. For example, if the correct word is _cost_ but you type _coat_. Full list of words here; [http://xcp.pw/tools/dictionary.html](http://xcp.pw/tools/dictionary.html) ---

Note that CounterwalletHelper (mentioned above) can help you do the guessing using the word list (`--help`). ---

Okay then try to add up to 20 addresses, and above that you can use CounterwalletHelper as per above URL and ask it to show more (say, 35) addresses. ```auto CounterWalletHelper.py wallet --pass-phrase "your pass phrase your pass phrase your pass phrase your pass phrase" --search-depth 35 `` If you also add `--show-private`, then private keys for those addresses will be showed as well (do not submit any output of that command here!), but you can use the above command to simply check if the address appears in the list. Then you can use `--show-private` as well to obtain its private key and import your assets from it using the Counterwallet sweep feature. ``` ---

I don’t see any transactions that were made from the first address, either XCP or BTC: [https://blockscan.com/address/1F6GFtxyRZJtNcz7bMqRa34TrcsvEakAiJ](https://blockscan.com/address/1F6GFtxyRZJtNcz7bMqRa34TrcsvEakAiJ) > **[Address: 1F6GFtxyRZJtNcz7bMqRa34TrcsvEakAiJ](https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1F6GFtxyRZJtNcz7bMqRa34TrcsvEakAiJ)** > > The most popular and trusted block explorer and crypto transaction search engine. So nothing was sent from the first address, it’s normal that you can’t see incoming BTC from it. Edit: > [@tigermoth101](#): > > Still can’t find the bitcoin. Did you look through 35 (or more) addresses using CounterwalletHelper and is the second address (19…pe) among them or not? I just re-tried CounterwalletHelper and it works as expected. ```auto c:\Python27\python.exe CounterWalletHelper.py wallet --pass-phrase "again control teacher mountain truck spoken false acid rainbow imagination separate learn" --search-depth 7 address: 1Q6gdNn4xU6BcYZYoMq1a1YyYQzqdcvGof address: 1HwDYJv3khTA5cGwtHKGrpPjfwmLF9CJe3 address: 1PhFssN84S6VxerDBeqV8qb7tPR9kZU7ao address: 12iYZawnrEqZtdb88ajmqcrsyd5mDvb5fV address: 1KnhfwV4RRvbKrY1VR1pkHpzvCcooK38NW address: 1HwsWkGAAiqtpPQYsgiHJrNQiEKJwHpYGm address: 188sT3jqWUSrpt5VP78NyLDzLoR2E3GzGg ``` These addresses were listed in the exact same order as they appear in Countewallet (if you want to check, go to [https://counterwallet.io](https://counterwallet.io), login with `again control teacher mountain truck spoken false acid rainbow imagination separate learn` and compare). Also, `--search-depth` works fine with higher values (I tried 35, 50 and 125), so I don’t see why you can’t do the same to find your address. If you’re concerned about security, execute CounterwalletHelper.py offline. If there is no evidence that the address belongs to the wallet you’re accessing, there’s no “wrong transaction” (i.e. you’re in a wrong wallet). ---
