I really need to recover my seed... #11

Closed mbalance closed 5 years ago

mbalance commented 5 years ago

Guys, please help me out here, I'm having an issue installing https://github.com/oed/seedsplit on both Ubuntu 16 and now Windows 10. I have the "npm" logs here and will pay a good tip for a solution!

I followed https://blog.risingstack.com/node-js-windows-10-tutorial/ for installing Node.js and went with the Python 2.7.16 version.

Have you tried using the binaries from the builds folder? https://github.com/oed/seedsplit/tree/master/builds

mbalance commented 5 years ago

@freeAgent85 No, I was using seedsplit-0.1.2 back in 2017. How would I use the binaries on Windows 10?

freeAgent85 commented 5 years ago

Download the Windows binary, then fire up a Command Prompt window, navigate to the directory, and call it ("cli-win.exe"). It should tell you how to use it if you don't give it any parameters.

freeAgent85 commented 5 years ago

I should add that this certainly involves a pretty high level of trust in the downloads/binaries and you should run it offline, etc.

Thank you. I'm not getting the correct seed when I combine my shards though. It does say it's on version 0.1.2 when I type cli-win.exe -V

mbalance commented 5 years ago

Releases 0.1.2 and older used a different Shamirs Secret Sharing library and are incompatible with newer versions. If you need to combine shards created with an old version, please use version 0.1.2.

The Shamirs Secret Sharing library used seems to be the new one. Because what I'm getting from it isn't correct.

mbalance commented 5 years ago

Also when I try to run it through npm, Shamirs Secret Sharing is causing the error somehow it seems.

Now most things work, but I'm getting this error when I want to combine my 24 word seed.

Hi,

You have to use an old version of seedsplit (0.1.2) with an old version of bip39 (2.3.0). Please see issue #5 for some more details.
