wallet file, password and r.... but no secret key

[paulinouk]

Hi there,

So as above I have the wallet txt file, password and r number... (no secret key)

I have the original ripple wallet desktop wallet installed but it is saying file or password are wrong (I see many others have had this problem too)

PLEASE tell me there is something I can do to access my XRP guys :-)

ps (I can enter the cold and read only section with the r number and see my significant amount of XRP but obviously can't do anything with it)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help anyone... i'd genuinely gladly send a donation as thanks at this stage.. I might be going insane with how little progress I am making here

Any help is greatly appreciated and as I say potentially rewarded too :-) @brianwalden@PunishmentOfLuxury @pftq @Xilobyte @Sukrim:-) :-)

You say you have the original Ripple desktop wallet - where did you get that from and when? Which operating system? If you have the correct application and are sure that the wallet.txt file corresponds to the password, it's most unusual that it won't open.

See attached....

It was the original wallet that Ripple endorsed... which I gather was subsequently shut down as so was the rippex wallet that followed it...

I got it from the site in 2018 when XRP (and other crypto) had a pump n dump...

Well, it might not be unusual as quite a few others claim they have had the same issue - i'm hoping that it is due to the fact that the wallet was closed down perhaps!?

Yes, I am certain the wallet and password are correct...

Can you see the version number? And you didn't state which OS.

Sorry yes... and i see where you are going with this (quite possible it was installed on a previous version of windows)

So..

RippleAdminConsole-1.4.1

and currently Windows 10

That's the latest version I think, from 2015. I haven't tried the Windows Ripple application for years. I'm pretty sure that the Linux application still works, though it's been a few months since I fired it up. Do you have any experience with Linux? Could be worth learning the basics if there's a lot of money at stake (don't tell us, or anyone for that matter, how much!).

You can show your appreciation further by 'liking' the posts that have helped you, via the button in the bottom right corner.

If you decide to go the Linux route, I would not use the very latest distros - go for something like Mint 17, otherwise you could run into dependency problems as libraries have changed. I can give you a download link to the Linux Ripple client if you DM me.

I will do just that tomorrow as it's midnight this end.. 

Thanks again have liked it 😊👍🏽
