I made my Algorand wallet using the coinomi app that has been offline for a few days. Now I need to redeem my coins and I can’t. I used a mnemonic of 24 words with bip39 Passphrase, I am not finding another wallet to open my account. Most only accept 25 words and those that accept 24 do not support…

Coinomi is not using Algorand 25-word mnemonics. It is instead using their own version of BIP39. They provide a tool to recover the Algorand secret key from their 24-word passphrase: https://github.com/Coinomi/bip39-coinomi (you need to download the zip file from the release page and open the fil…

Disclaimer: Never share you mnemonic phrase with anyone. I’m not familiar with the coinomi app, nor how they generated the private key used to form your Algorand address. The following documentation describes the protocol for generating an Algorand address based based on BIP39 (24 words + 1 checksu…

I re-read the OP. It seems you have the keyfile with your private key. You should be able to import that with another CLI Tool: algokey import <keyfile> That will also store your private key within kmd. You may then use goal to sign transactions.

I don´t have the keyfile, i just have the private key printed on a paper I have this private key of the address that i deposit my coins, I also have the master private key and the mnemonic 24 words with bip 39 passphrase. All of these keys could open but i can’t because none of the wallets I tested…

hm. Algorand accounts are using 25 words, where the last word is a checksum. It should be possible to ignore the 25th word, but the existing tooling doesn’t have that feature. ( i.e. it would also mean that algokey won’t be able to do any validation for that account )

Fabrice, it worked, tks very much for your help. :smiley:

I entered it in the terminal of my PC running linux didnt work. Any help is much appreciated.

Can you try it on a fake passphrase (not you real passphrase - this would be dangerous), indicate each step you did, and post every message you see?

I got it to work with the Exodus wallet. You can import your keys through the exodus wallet. Thanks for the response.

I see you managed to solve the issue another way. But for the sake of completeness, the issue was that you need to install the Algorand node software. See Algorand Developer Docs (you don’t need to run the node, but you need to have the software installed).
