Problem with transaction - newbie.

[say_hello]

Good evening/night.

I'm facing a very unpleasant issue now. I did sent my XRP from Exodus wallet to Atomic, unfortunately Atomic had update and changed my Ripple address... I do not know how but it did... Now I cannot access my previous address.. Can I somehow retrieve my funds back.. Its both my addresses.. I am really hopeless now.. I cannot access my previous address, the funds just lay there, I am watching it on explorer... Thank you for your answer and maybe a solution!...

I am curious what does the sentence that it has created the Node with my old address, does it mean it created new wallet? How to access it?

Hello. If you have access to your original key-pairs, you can access your XRP from any other wallet. Your funds are not kept in a wallet as they are stored on the XRP Ledger. A wallet is just an interface to interact with your key-pairs. So you can basically have many wallet interfaces like Toast, Exodus, Bithomp etc all using one key-pair. I'm guessing you have created a second wallet so now you have 2 key-pairs?

If you can enter your public key into Bithomp explorer and can see your balance and you also have the matching secret key, then your XRP are safe.

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. But there is a *limit* [edit] *balance of 50 on the address I mentioned.. It was activated today by this transaction. Is it possible that I created a completely new address with this transaction? and if yes, how do I access it? Yes I got 2 addresses, 3 to be accurate. But this was my atomic wallet, now it has different

Because my addresses node from which it was withdrawed is modifed in transaction, the address I am talking about is created.. It looks like I created that address just with deposit on it, because it doesnt exists. Am I right?

Maybe the addresses are generated by different algorithms? — “a 33-byte ECDSA secp256k1 public key, or a 32-byte Ed25119 public key”

It seems like you have created a new wallet (key-pair) with your 50xrp deposit. Do you have the keys to the new wallet and old wallet?

I got private key to new and old.. Is there some web where can I insert address and private key? to log in? Like etherwallet or so...

There are online wallets like Toast where you can import your key-pairs to their wallet.

I would recommend an offline wallet like Bithomp Tools though and it would be best to do this on an offline computer that never connects to the internet. It is much safer if your secret key never sees the internet.

If you do add your address to Toast, I think they may give you a 24 word phrase. Write down any pin/passphrase they give you.

Those differences betweens the algorithms, does it affect how the final address looks like? There is a problem, which I found article about and it looks like I did create a  brand new address which does not have any key to it.. or noone knows it.. but blockchain takes it like completed true transactions.. In this case my funds will  be lost forever.. Ppl said there. Because it is not an address from Atomic wallet, at least I read it.. But do not trust it much because I do not know how could I sent it to completely different address, when I worked only with Exodus wallet and Atomic.. None else XRP addresses :/.. Literally, I had only 2 things in cliboard at the time.. I really don't get it.. Toast idea wont help me Any more ideas, please? Thank you.

Once I lost a few XRP because I did this:

1. Generated a seed
2. Generated an address by using this function https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib/blob/develop/docs/index.md#generateaddress while setting options.algorithm to ed25519 (so it was a different address than the default secp256k1 generated one)
3. Deposited XRP to that ed25519 generated address

I personally, wasn't able to get the XRP back from that address, even though I think I know what I was doing. Ripple's rippled server didn't allow me to at the time, even though the signing was supposedly correct (https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib/blob/develop/docs/index.md#sign).
