Helping out a friend that used your wallet for quite some time, had their phone stolen this week and went to recover their BRD wallet only to find that the software has seemingly been sold to Coinbase. For understandable reasons, they have no interest in using that wallet and just want to recover their funds. The seed they have does not seem to be a Bitcoin seed, or if it is, what is the derivation path? How can they recover their funds? Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi @kn0wmad,

There is a known issue for viewing your BTC transactions on Coinbase Wallet. It should be resolved in the release coming out the week. Can you please try on the new build and then move the funds to a new wallet.

Thank you.

I think you misunderstood me. The user would like to remove funds from BRD, without having to use the coinbase wallet. How can they transfer funds to a different wallet? I'm guessing we need the derivation path

Hi @kn0wmad,

The derivation path is BIP32. Is that what you are looking for?

That is not a derivation path. A derivation path looks like this: m/44'/60'/0'/0'/0

The simpler question is this: Can this user recover using the seed from their BRD wallet (or recover in some other way) to an external wallet (NOT coinbase's wallet)?? If yes, then the derivation path is probably required. If not, why not?

Can I have some help on this issue please? This conversation started almost a month ago and the user currently has inaccessible funds due to software changes you forced upon them without much notice

Out of frustration the user attempted to do the migration to the coinbase wallet in the hopes that it could be sent to another wallet. Rather than being a solution, it turns out that the coinbase wallet is only for ethereum and other associated nonsense. How does the user recover their Bitcoin funds??!

Were you able to recover all funds? How did you do it?

A friend of mine has the same problem as your friend. We tried to use Electrum to recover all funds but the generated keys were not complete. There are some funds on addresses that are not generated with that derivation path. At least not by Electrum.
