I'm having the same issue. My older, Derivation Strategy BIP45 wallet had BTC in it pre-fork, and I'm not seeing anything in the recovery tool. Wallet ID: 4b3133503ee52b85

@morrisonbrett Could you try my PR https://github.com/bitpay/copay-recovery/pull/100 ? Should be fixed.

morrisonbrett commented 6 years ago

OK. Trying now. What about this line?:

addressType: payload.addressType || "P2SH",

Should I change it to?:

"P2SH",

morrisonbrett commented 6 years ago

I did have to change that line.

We have success! Success criteria:

Scan works and shows proper balance pre-fork - DONE!
Able to send balance to new Wallet address - DONE!
Transaction validated by BCH Blockchain - DONE!

Thank you so much @gabrielbazan7 for working through this. I really appreciate it, and I'm sure other Copay users will too once all the updates are merged and pushed out to your tool.

@gabrielbazan7 this issue can be closed, although I think you should somehow incorporate the fix you had me do into your repo.

Hi, I have 1 question about the BitPay Recovery Tool. Where it asks for the following... Backup for copayer 1: Recovery phrase (mnemonic) or File/Text backup

... should I insert the recovery phrase of my Bitcoin wallet at the time of the fork? Or should I insert the recovery phrase of my new Bitcoin Cash wallet?

Looking forward to any input on this matter. Thanks!
