P2PK script type not included in wallet restoration search

[drnick30]

Describe the problem
I imported my 2012 btc key into electrum to claim the bsv fork, but it doesn't show up. I can see the coins on the explorer but it doesn't show up in electrumsv.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• ElectrumSV version: 1.3.15
• OS: macos
• Version ventura

When you paste in the key into the "import from text" user interface, what type of key does it say it is?

If it is BIP39, then there is an advanced or customize option, have you tried different derivation paths?

[drnick30]

It shows private key.

From the earlier screenshot, it shows the last 3 transaction but not the coinbase transaction of 50bsv.

Electroncash successfully showed the bch but electrumabc didn't show the xec. Does this have to do with how old the coins are? cant electrumsv query 2010 coins?

[drnick30]

What I find strange is that some explorers don't show the coins. like this one https://whatsonchain.com/address/18eXJskHRVvKrqmxD9T6K6UQ6GBC6ya2WS.

But you can clearly see it here https://bchsvexplorer.com/address/18eXJskHRVvKrqmxD9T6K6UQ6GBC6ya2WS and here https://bsv.tokenview.io/en/address/18eXJskHRVvKrqmxD9T6K6UQ6GBC6ya2WS

Any help? Maybe i need to tweak Electrumsv somehow?

[drnick30]

I don't understand. The coins are on the blockchain, but electrumsv can't see them. Why is Bsv so different?

[rt121212121]

The way ElectrumSV finds the transactions is by:

1. Converting the private key to a public key.
2. Making a P2PKH output script for the public key.
3. Asking the indexer if it has seen that output script.

If you get back 3 of 4 transactions paying to (or spending from) that output script, then the indexer knows about that script, but those transactions may be all it has. Or ElectrumSV gets the coinbase match from the indexer but fails to process it for some reason. Without further information it is not possible to say why.

I suggest you turn on full logging and make a new wallet and restore that private key. Then provide that logging and we will see what we can see.

[drnick30]

No those transactions are not all. Look at the address on the blockchain I sent earlier https://bchsvexplorer.com/tx/e791dd210ff6cfff912d6b1c6f4194df6ef79485580a01335b8e4840a5cf1940

The coinbase transaction of 50BSV doesn't show up in electrumsv.

How do I turn on full logging?

[drnick30]

Importing the address 18eXJskHRVvKrqmxD9T6K6UQ6GBC6ya2WS only still doesn't work. Could you please import the address in electrum and see what I am talking about?

[rt121212121]

When you run ESV, do it from the command-line, and add -v=debug as a command-line argument.

[drnick30]

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I run it from command line? For both Windows and Mac.

Nevermind, here's the log https://pastebin.mozilla.org/oRAvO8Lf/raw

Also, the address is a p2pk and not p2pkh. Could this be the reason electrum sv cannot decode the coinbase transaction?

[rt121212121]

It looks like P2PK is not included in the script types it looks for.
