    Discontinued ⛔️ DEPRECATED - Ledger Live (Desktop)

  • bip39

    A web tool for converting BIP39 mnemonic codes

  • Do the following: 1)- Access Ian Coleman's html from BIP-39 on Github by the link: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ 2)- The ideal would be to download the html and run without internet on the PC, but as your case seems to be urgent, trust and go ahead online. This link is not fishing. 3)- On the screen that opens, change the “Generate” to 24 words. 4)- Put your seed phrase in the “Bip 39 Mnemonic” field. Again, it's not fishing, but if you prefer you can do it safely by looking for Ian Coleman on Github and downloading the html. Then disable the internet on your computer and run the HTML. But if you consider to trust the link, put your seed, and press enter. 5)- Scroll down, and in “Derivation Path” click on BIP-84. 6)- You will see a list of 20 keys in 3 columns, in the sequence “Address”, “Public Key” and “Private Key”. 7)- Ledger provides you with exactly this list and in that same order from up to down each time you request an address. 8)- Go to any blockchain explorer (blockchair.com, btc.com) and check from the first “Address” down (from Path m/84'/0'/0'/0/0 down) until you find the one that contains the balance you sent (it will probably be the first). 10)- Copy the private key in the column on the right and at this point you already have your bitcoins with you, safely (possession of the private key). After that, go to an online wallet like Trust or Coinomi or Mycellium and sweep your private key. Your balance will appear in this wallet and you can use it. 11)- Send Ledger to shit. Their support sucks.
