Could you please tell me how to know what derivation path (m/44'/144'/0'/0/ or other derivation path) was used to generate my old xrp address if I can know that , that should serve a lot to find my xrp address on https://iancoleman.io/bip39/. Is there any website to to find out what derivation path used my xrp address? I'd really appreciate it if you could help me. (my problem is as follows: I bought ledger nano s 3 or 4 years ago. I have some xrp in my ledger nano but yesterday when I put my pin code of ledger nano s(I have a 24-word list) to access ledger live and saw my deposit of xrp but couldn't send it out due to an error. SO I reset my ledger nano live , but after that even though I connected my pin code my old wallet of xrp doesn't show up (I've already reset my ledger nano s using my 24 word recovery phrase, updated my ledger live and downloaded the latest version of xrp wallet on ledger live) I tried adding a xrp wallet on ledger live but I can add a totally new one but my old one cannot show as an option to add on ledger live. In my case my balance doesn't show 0 but the thing is my original xrp wallet doesn't show up on ledger live. I don't know why my old xrp wallet doesn't show up. So I decided to access my wallet through finding out the private key of my wallet without using ledger nano s.)

Hi everbody, Please help me about the Ripple address. 1 year ago, I was saving my Ripple address by a browser bookmark. Today, I click into that bookmark to view back my Ripple wallet. I saw the balance is 7,052.998163 XRP. I don't understand what is the address : r3kmLJN5D28dHuH8vZNUZpMC43pEHpaocV (click into the link & search : https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/graph) See the attached file please. Thanks for reading !

Apologies in advanced if there's already a topic on this - couldn't find one specific to the issue via the search. Also apologies for any technical inaccuracy or mistake - corrections are more than welcome and appreciated. Issue How can an entity provide proof of address ownership to a third party? Requirements cheapest way possible (if possible without incurring in any XRP fee); causing the least restrictions to the owner's address (reserves, etc); not allowing exchange customers to go through with it on an exchange (or other non-ripple-escrow) owned address; Notes The (probably) obvious way would be to do a very small (token) transaction to the wallet owned by the party that requires the proof. However this could still be possible to do for an exchange customer with an withdrawal (if the exchange allows really small ones), thus not really proving ownership (since the address belongs to the exchange). Would setting up a very restricted trust line (using the minimum limit possible to set, effectively useless for its original purpose) do it or this would be a very hack'ish way and not really advisable? Thank you in advance.

Good day to you all! I'm working on a project to integrate the Ripple API (JavaScript) into my site which could allow for the following structure: Create 'root' address [easy enough, (return api.generateAddress();) sort of thing]. Create children of this address. (1-15) Create children from the children addresses. What I'm missing is how to specify that the creation of a new address is based on the secret key of the specified parent, be it root or a direct child of root. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hey everybody, so I am coming from Bitcoin and have been wanting some clarifications on things if you can help me please. 
 If it matters, I am using Rippex, the desktop wallet.
 My questions are probably questions that have been answered before, but I just wanted to be sure because I've read so many different terms being thrown around for each cryptocurrency, my head feels like it spinning. 1) Secret Key = Private Key = Private Address ??
 With Bitcoin I always just knew private (key) = private (address). 
And since "Secret" indicates...well, secret, it goes into the private key/address category right?
 Or am I wrong? This is the key I need to send someone funds. 
 And just like Bitcoin, this key obviously can't be revealed to anyone else to ensure the Ripple stay safe in the account. Basically, the password to my "account" so to speak.
 ~~~~
 2) ___________ = Public Key = Public Address ??
 So obviously there needs to be a second part to a key pair. 
 With Bitcoin, like with the private keys, I just thought public (key) = public (address)
 What is the Ripple equivalent called? Is it called.....(next question)
 ~~~~
 3) Regular Key? Ripple Address? Or Both?
 So I already have my Secret Key and I have my Ripple address. But I came across this in the settings. 
Now, in Ripple, there's an option to generate a regular key, and I am suspecting by the way it's described, it is the equivalent of the public key/address? Or am I wrong? 
 And if a regular key is the equivalent of a public key/address, then does that mean my Ripple address is considered a regular key as well, they both do the same thing but are just given different names? Is this right? Public Key/Address = Regular Key = Ripple Address ?? Maybe?? If they are not the same, how do they differ? And which one would be the public key/address equivalent, if at all? ~~~~ 4) Re-use of addresses? Multiple addresses?
 So with Bitcoin, I had learned that we should NEVER reuse public keys/addresses. Like when you finished one transaction, for the next, you were supposed to use an entirely different one. You didn't have to, but if you wanted to ensure your coins stayed safe, it was highly recommended. Does this rule apply to Ripple as well? If it is the same as Bitcoin and I would need multiple public keys/addresses, does Rippex provide them for me when I need them? Or can I input my own generated public key I get from a key generator. I heard some wallets allow you choose your own public keys/addresses, while some wallets don’t allow you to do that and give you new key/addresses themselves. If I wanted to change both my Secret Key and Ripple Address, am I able to? Or are they permanent? If I can change them, can I input keys/addresses I got through a random key generator? Or does Rippex provide new addresses for me? ~~~~
 5) Wallet file?
 So I wanted to check my wallet file, and I thought it was supposed to be a file with my secret key and my public keys/addresses. But instead it was just a long string of numbers and letters for a few lines. 
 If it matters, there was an "e" as the first character in the line sequence.
 What's the long number sequence? What is the file essentially? What is the file used for? Is it used for anything important? ~~~~
 
 6) Wallet file location?
 If the wallet file is important, I want to move it off my computer and onto my USB and delete the file from my desktop. If I do that, will it affect anything? 
 Will Rippex open without an issue? Will I have any login problems? Will I have to plug in my USB every time I want to open Rippex or to login successfully? Will the wallet file still open if I move it to my USB? If it will affect things, would it be better to create a new Rippex account from scratch to save the wallet file to my USB drive initially? Or would I still run into problems because the wallet file is on the USB and not on the desktop? Will I have to plug my in USB every time to get Rippex to open or to login successfully? Wanted to be sure about this because I don't want to get locked out or lose my coins if I do something wrong. ~~~~ 7) Recovery? I've noticed a few wallets have a backup system essentially with "seed word phrases" that can be 12-24 words long. These would be used in the case that your wallet is stolen, computer fails, or something like that. The seed words would let you be able to get access to your funds, based on my understanding, adding another layer or protection to your account. Does Rippex have this feature? If it does, how do I access/activate it? Other wallets I've noticed let you save/export your keys/addresses/transaction/seeds to save as a backup copy someplace else in the case something were to go wrong. Does Rippex allow you to do that? ~~~~ 8) Activation and Receiving? So I know that in order to make a Ripple wallet fully functional and legit, 20 XRP is needed to activate the wallet. An activation fee essentially. I am planning on buying some Bitcoin on Coinbase and then sending them to my ripple wallet. But I am getting confused because: 1) Some are saying I won't be able to receive any Ripple until the wallet is activated. 2) Others are saying I can receive Ripple, BUT only if the XRP amount sent to me is over 20 XRP. This way wallet activates on that first transaction. And once the the 20 XRP activation fee is subtracted, you would still have some XRP left in your wallet. I feel like the second one is the truth because it makes more sense, but I just wanted to be sure just in case the first one is true. Because if it true, how would I go about activating my wallet then? ~~~~ I know it's a lot of questions but I just want to be sure before I start adding Ripple to my wallet. The last thing I want is to add Ripple and then lose it all because something went wrong.

Hello to all, I am using the rippex wallet, and although I don't yet understand some features, everything seems to be fine with it. My question is in regards to the address it generated? Is that the only address this wallet will issue? For example my Litecoin and Bitcoin wallets generated 20 addresses automatically. Thanks.
