Importing Trezor seed; 4 characters of seed #6385

Closed 2ge closed 6 years ago

2ge commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I bought recently cryptosteel, where I can save first 4 characters of each word of my 24 words seed. If I understand, this would be enough to calculate private key, but it seems, I have to type whole words - so here it is not really clear for me - https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki

Next (and I understand risks), I wanted to perform restore, so I downloaded Copay for OSX -> Restore from backup -> typed recovery phrase (24 full words - here would be good, if I could write just first 4 characters from each word...) -> (not set password, on my Trezor, I have some funds without recovery passphrase, and some with it, but for testing, no password is ok) -> Derivation path is m/44'/0'/0', -> From hw wallet (trezor selected) -> wallet service url is default (https://bws.bitpay.com/bws/api), the error is:

Could not access the wallet at the server. Please check:
The password of the recovery phrase (if set)
The derivation path
The wallet service URL

Also I am aware of guide here: https://99bitcoins.com/restore-trezor-seed-copay/

What I am doing wrong ?

Thanks

Sorry but it's not clear for me if you are trying to import with your incomplete seed (4 caracters for each of your 24 words)

Copay does not support 24 word phrases.

@JDonadio I tried both. I understand 4 characters for each of 24 words doesn't work (it would be nice if it would, why not?). @dabura667 I was under impression it is supported. So there is no way how to restore Trezor to Copay or I should use first 12 words only ?

according https://99bitcoins.com/restore-trezor-seed-copay/ it should be possible.

Actually yes, we support it. I have a trezor seed here and it works fine creating and importing. I'm not aware about how 4 character for each word should work @2ge.
