What's new

import private key from the now defunct magnum online wallet to the pivx wallet

mishav

New Pivian
is it possible?

I go to Debug - > Console

and put in

importprivkey "S1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0jklmnopqrstuvwx"

not the actual key, it's a lot longer like a thousand characters

remember it's the magnum private key so it might not be compatible. All the current online magnum wallets are scams, btw

anyway I get an error



Invalid private key encoding (code -5)

the Magnum wallet had only pivx in it, how can I recover it with the pivx wallet or some other wallet?

Did you have a seed phrase for the Magnum wallet? Private key usually starts with a Y, like YPVpuRy..............................N68N8zvUR6PbyqY

Magnum uses seed phrases. Magnum backups usually look like this. (modified so keys don't work)

Wallet: PIVX (PIVX)
Address: DJtZbJUcrSuKRfFTAtqBHHD7mTDQBy3y5K
Private Key: YRkEcV3YiHk2UNDQkFyNKBdxojapyj32nag1xYAy1x7rdtnfi7U5
Mnemonic: foster market virtual aware diary discover sample simple glance demise talent piano
Derivation Path: 44'/119'/0'/0/0

If your private key starts with an "A", it is likely a private key for a different coin.

Edit: Also look in your downloads folder for a backup file usually named like "magnumwallet-private-keys-2023-12-23-08-39-12.txt"

I think it might be a scam site because their support doesn't answer, the telegram group is not being monitored and in the telegram group it says magnum wallet is suspended. Why do you think it's a real site?
