Selecting correct wallet from CBOR Hex

[defiyass26]

Hey Allessandro, I'm fairly new to development on Cardano...here's my issue...

• I created a wallet on the CLI and funded it.
• I want to select that wallet in Lucid using the selectWalletFromPrivateKey method.
• So what I do is attempt to convert the CLI wallet CBOR hex into a bech32 encoded private key and use that.
• At first it seems to work, I'm able to convert the CBOR into bech32...but when Lucid selects the wallet, none of the funds are there and the payment address is different

I'm at my wits end here. Here's what I'm doing - I'm hoping you can set me straight...

import { Lucid, C } from 'lucid-cardano';

const lucid = await Lucid.new(new Blockfrost("https://cardano-mainnet.blockfrost.io/api/v0", PROJECT_ID, "Mainnet"));

// This is a demo CLI wallet.
const cborHex = "58209ccf4dc565bbcc400e09c7f9f4e20c31c7c411ac5692e7b045383d08def9ee5c";
const privateKey = C.PrivateKey.from_normal_bytes(Buffer.from(cborHex.substring(4), 'hex'));
const wallet = lucid.selectWalletFromPrivateKey(privateKey.to_bech32()).wallet;

console.log(wallet.address())
// Outputs: addr1vx7cef3rn0m0xtj4ps66h2tcqasme4m8l5fvs0ktg6802zgn0vjqp

console.log(wallet.getUtxos())
// Outputs: []

What am I doing wrong?

I created a wallet on the CLI and funded it.

Did you create the wallet address without a stake key? Just to be sure here

I'm not sure - the wallet address was generated through your CardanoCli package...I have a stake key if needed.

Is the address you generated with the CLI longer than addr1vx7cef3rn0m0xtj4ps66h2tcqasme4m8l5fvs0ktg6802zgn0vjqp?

Yes.

Yeah the address you used in the CLI has a stake credential inside (Base address). The one you see in Lucid is an Enterprise address. It has the same payment credential, but there is no stake credential attached. Right now Lucid only gives you back UTxOs that match exactly that address even tho the payment credential may be the same. Maybe I'm gonna change that behaviour. Try to generate an Enterprise address in the CLI (without stake credential) and see if it matches: addr1vx7cef3rn0m0xtj4ps66h2tcqasme4m8l5fvs0ktg6802zgn0vjqp
