Found ripple address (rxxxx...) and secret account key (sxxxx.....) from 2014. How to recover?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I recently found an old wallet - who knows what, if anything, is in there, but I found it. I have no idea how to access it though.

Can someone give me some pointers? Despite seemingly creating a wallet 9 years ago I have little understanding of how this all works and i can only find guides from 2020 or earlier on how to recover... I want to make sure I don't mess it up, so any help or direction toward current guides would be appreciated.

To check what's in the wallet, copy the r... address into an explorer such as bithomp.com or xrpscan.com
 

As you have the secret key, you'll be able to easily import the account into a modern app such as XUMM, instructions are here: https://help.xumm.app/getting-started-with-xumm/importing-your-account

That's bithomp.com (small typo above). Do not enter your s.... secret key into any app other than XUMM, is my advice - lots of scams out there.

At least you have a key and a wallet. I remember running the miner in 2008-2009. I have no idea how much I managed to mine since I abandoned it in a week. Now I can only guess how much it was

You're talking about BTC, presumably? The XRPL was invented in 2012.
