error in recovery of 2of3 account

[baskeman]

I get the following error message when I run the tool:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/garecovery-cli", line 7, in sys.exit(recoverycli.main(sys.argv)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/recoverycli.py", line 107, in main txs = recovery.get_transactions() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/two_of_three.py", line 437, in get_transactions clargs.args.search_subaccounts or 0) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/two_of_three.py", line 417, in rescan next_utxos = self.get_utxos(subaccounts, pointers) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/two_of_three.py", line 406, in get_utxos return self.scan_blockchain(keysets) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/two_of_three.py", line 314, in scan_blockchain core = bitcoincore.Connection(clargs.args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/bitcoincore.py", line 114, in init http_auth_header = Connection.get_http_auth_header(config, testnet) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/garecovery/bitcoincore.py", line 77, in get_http_auth_header auth_data = open(rpccookiefile, "r").read().strip().encode("ascii") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/btc/.bitcoin/testnet3/.cookie'

I have a full node running with the bitcoin blockchain synched. From the error message it looks like the testnet3 blockchain should be synched...?

It looks like the tool is running in testnet mode, which it determines for 20f3 from the destination address. Are you specifying a testnet address?

Not what I know. I use my btc.com wallet and generate a receiving address in the interface. I managed to recover BCH from another wallet using a btc.com tool so the wallet is functional. Its possible to generate both a legacy format address but also a newer format. I've tried both variants but get the same result...

hi @baskeman

the recovery tool is designed only for Bitcoin mainnet and testnet not for bch. it won't work with BCH legacy or not.

if you are using a bch tool fork of this tool we invite you to raise an issue directly with the repo of said tool

thank you
