Hello NeonWallet team,

I've used Neon Wallet with my Ledger Nano S, everything was worked well and I've sent all my NEO from Bittrex to Nano S a few days ago. But today, I open NeonWallet but it displays BLANK 0, GAS 0 - and my public address has been changed to the new one!

Can you give me some advices ? this scares me!

Thank you.

@Honestbui @D0nGit - you guys aren't using temporary passphrase or something on your Ledger's? I've been using it on a Ledger and I'm still getting correct address + balance amounts showing. I can understand balance not showing if the API is down, but, public address should never change. Unless @Honestbui is just missing the address amount, and only @D0nGit changed the pubkey?

Hi @stevesbrain, I'm not using temporary passphrase on my Ledger Nano S and I have only 1 Nano S but today it displays another Public NEO Address! not the one before!

Do not know why my Public Neo address changed! and my balance all zero + history transaction also empty! :(

@stevesbrain

@D0nGit Does this new address consistently stay on there? Is it possible you used a different passphrase the previous day? What if you restore from seed, or use the seed calculator offered by coranos? :)

@D0nGit I have the same problem, my NEONwallet is showing a different address then the NEONwallet address I first had when connecting with Ledger. I sent the tokens to the 1st address and when I signed in again with Ledger, I had different address and Blank coins. How do I recover that first address where my coins are sitting? Thanks for anyone that can help.

Same problem as others mentioned above. The wallet address generated when I first connected Ledger Nano S using OS X neon app 0.0.7 is different than the one I've gotten since logging out and back in with the same app and device. The new (2nd) address appears to be consistently derived (tested on my other machines).

@stevesbrain

@durdenSkyler Other machines also OS X with Neon 0.0.7?

@Honestbui

the same my problem,
who guys see back NEO on Ledger now?
can help me get back my NEO?

@durdenSkyler
Copy link

@stevesbrain
First machine was OS X with Neon 0.0.7 - Neon wallet generated Address_1 with the Ledger Nano S and Neo was received and showed in the Neon GUI. I logged out and when I used the Ledger a 2nd time, it gave me Address_2.
Second machine was windows 10 with Neon 0.0.7 and Ledger generated Address_2.
Third machine was OS X with Neon 0.0.7 and generated Address_2.

Haven't been able to replicate Address_1 anywhere so those 10 NEO are stuck or lost.

Sorry to say I don't really have much insight as to what may have caused this; I'm just sorry they're lost to you :( As a future pointer, might be worth using testnet rather than real world ones for this (not having a go at you, and it certainly shouldn't be necessary, but always better to play it safe!).

Have you guys tried to recover your ledger with your recovery phrase?

This was the first thing i did, before transferring any NEO to my Ledger:

  • write down recovery phrase
  • check the NEO App on Ledger, check the NEO address
  • wipe Ledger
  • restore Ledger with phrase, check NEO address.

The ledger wipes itself if you enter the wrong pincode too often (i think it was three times).

Also there is a recovery webpage on coranos' github. You can enter the recovery phrase there to get your private key.

For further questions please move to NEO discord channel #support.

My ledger works like a charm...

To ones that lost NEO... What operating system you're using? Are you sure your Ledger Nano S is original? Maybe the first tampered ones occurred in the wild? Where did you buy it?

dlv14 commented Dec 20, 2017

Hello

@seaside-crypto: yes, i have tried by many ways include recover my ledger Nano S with the phrase. But it still shows new public address (also is current address)

@trancephorm:

  • I’ve tried on many OS, windows, mac os with the latest version of neon wallet 0.0.7!
  • i bought Ledger Nano S from an official reseller of Ledger France in my country. And i make sure that I have configured it as new device by myself. This means, I have my own 24 words in seed.

Anyway, i already submitted this issue to NeonWallet team via their group chat. Hopefully they will have a way to figure out the issue then i can get my money back!

Thank you so much for your replies!

@D0nGit @Honestbui @rbish @durdenSkyler
Did you guys always and only use the "Login using a Ledger" button?

Or did you use any of the other buttons before or after "Login using a Ledger", like "Create a new wallet" or "Login using an encrypted key"?

@Honestbui

@coranos @D0nGit @rbish @durdenSkyler
I only use the "Login using a Ledger" not have another

@Honestbui can you tell me the address you sent from?

I haven't seen anything like what you described, so I'm not sure how such an error would occur, let alone occur to three people in three days. The ledger app computes the public key just like the recovery site, so if you get a different address than the recovery site, that's very strange.

@stevesbrain
Copy link

@seaside-crypto I did precisely the same thing, except I also sent a small amount of testnet to that address, and from that address before wiping; that way I had the added benefit of being able to verify transaction history comes back too :)

@coranos thank for your support
i kindly tell you address sent NEO from:

sending is important as well, because that verifies it's a real private key, which helps debugging.

I'll do what I can.

I'm talking with Ledger about it. We havn't been able to reproduce the problem yet, and I tried 20 times.

If you can reproduce the problem (wipe ledger, get a passphrase, get wrong address, get right address) it'd help a lot. So far, I've not been able to get it to break and I've tried 10 times over the last 72 hours.

Hello @coranos

This issue may because of Ledger Nano S is using a Hierarchical Deterministic architecture?

This means Nano S is able to generate multiple addresses and will have a diffirent address after each transaction. For BTC, ETH i knew that nano s supports this! Do not sure that this issue because of what!

Anyway, i have recovered nano s and tried by many ways but the new address still keep appearing. Cannot get back the old address anymore.

Hopefully, ledger and neonwallet can resolve this issue soon!

Thank you so much for your response! Have a good day.

I'm pretty sure that's not it. We only support "m/44'/888'/0'/0/0" NEO doesn't do "one address per transaction" that's IOTA.

If you want to check, type your 24 word phrase into the recovery site and look at the address list.

https://coranos.github.io/neo/ledger-nano-s/recovery/

Only thing I can think of is some kind of USB port problem flipped a bit in the key.

@durdenSkyler

Hi @coranos thank you for looking into this. I used your recovery tool and my seed words and found my correct (2nd) address but was unable to find the 1st (stuck) address: AGAm...zFfTK. One thing that might be worth mentioning is that I didn't load up the neon wallet and go straight to the login with ledger button. I had timed out on the ledger (logged out) and clicked around the app before logging back in but I didn't finish a new wallet creation process or see the "Your Public Neo Address:" screen until after I logged in the first time with the Ledger.

I am having the same problem. If anyone finds the solution, please post here. I would love to get my coins back.
Not sure how to use the tool listed by @coranos. Not sure how to use it while not connected to the internet.
Shows what kind of novice I am.

I have been unable to reproduce the issue where the address changes on the first boot, and is the correct address on the second boot.

Ledger has not been able to reproduce the issue either.

If you are not able to use the recovery site to get your NEO, I do not know any other way to get your NEO.

Hello @coranos ,

So sad to hear that from you :(!
Just let you know this story from a guy has similar issue as me in NEO - Smart Economy group (Discord App.):
He was used the same private key to login to NeonWallet, but NeonWallet displayed the new address with Zero balance. But today, he informed me that his Neo is already back!

You can see his reply to me in attachment. He said that his NeonWallet is now still displaying the new address but NEO was back! took 1 month from the day he spoke to me in NEO Group (Discord app), very strange!

Hello people,

Ledger CTO just answered in my thread on reddit that they are not aware of our issues.
I mentionned my ticket Id and @OrEagle97327 one, but if you are aware of others, feel free to answer here :
https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/7rd798/should_we_be_concerned_about_the_ledger/dsxls5e/

@numero41

Ok, maybe this app thing is a lead. I saw on several forums and Ledger public forum that when their app didn't show any balance, they were asked to clear their app cache, or even uninstall/reinstall it.

Alexandre's only answer from the support to my ticket was to do so -because they had errors in their API-, and I just answered him that my issue was not related to the chrome app.

BUT that seems to mean that their bug was related to an issue with the address, right?

So my idea is :
IF I plugged my Ledger with a defective version of the app, maybe this one was "initialized" with a defective address. And then when went to connect to the online wallet, this address was referenced in the Ledger as the default one.
After unplugging the Ledger / closing the app / re-plugging the Ledger, the "good" address (which is not the good one for us unfortunately) could have pop up again, in a definitive way...

I posted the idea here on reddit :

eSamurai commented Jul 2, 2018

I just tried this today. The issue is as simple as this: Ledger creates a NEW wallet with a NEW public/private key pairs.
The old wallet is still there if you sign in using your Private or Encrypted key.

The Ledger seems to create a wallet for itself on NEON the first time you connect it, and the public address does not change no matter how many times you sign in/out or disconnect/connect the ledger, so to me is seems this is what's happening.

I'm not an expert though, so I don't really know what to do except for not using Ledger with NEON for now.
Until something comes up from either party about this, specifically how to connect your Ledger to an EXISTING wallet instead of creating a new one, I'm not going to use it.

Hi all, I also am having problems, I have a neon desktop app that i open with my Ledger Nano S and all was working fine, my Neo and Gas were on there i had even claimed more Gas, but since updating the ledger (although i am not sure it is down to this) when i open the Neo wallet It says 0 Neo and 0 Gas but it does show my public key which is the same one as before, and the Neo are showing on that public key when i check on Neo tracker, I have troubleshot the Ledger since updating, can anybody tell me what i am doing wrong? easy answers please as I am old..
Thanks.
Ps: I have other Cryptos on the same Ledger that are all accessible the problem appears to be just with Neo.

@stevesbrain

@stehaddy if it's showing the same address + they appear on the tracker, then it'll likely just be an issue with the API/explorer for neon wallet, which will be a temporary issue.

@stehaddy
Copy link

Thanks for the reply, any idea how long temporary maybe? its been like this for a couple of weeks now.

@stevesbrain
Copy link

@stehaddy - definitely working for me at the moment, and has been working through that time. Assuming you're on the latest version, go to the "Manage Neon Settings" button, and check which "Block Explorer" is in use there. Try one of the others and see if that works. Failing that, I would suggest trying a different network (i.e. tethering to your phone, perhaps) to see if it's a network issue, or, adjusting local computer firewall settings if you have one running.

All fine now, sorry i wasnt on the latest version!!!

He Guys, I'm new to Github and have a very similar problem as the problem discribed above. I have a ledger that I use to log into a wallet. This is a wallet inside the nOS client (nOS in ICO status, but working wallet). I have used my Ledger before and it always displayed the same public address. Today I loged into the nOS wallet again and now it has changed my public address. My Ledger is brand new and was never used to log into any other wallet before. I have no clue how I can change the public address back to the first and original one. I have tried to reconfigure my Ledger with the 24 word phrase but nothing helps. My Ledger is bought from an original reseller and was sealed and untampered with. Before using it I configure it as a new device and stored my 24 word on a Cryptosteel. Fortunately there where no funds on it but this could have been a big problem. So this problem still is not solved and I have no clue what to do. Btw my Ledger is connected to a 6 month old Asus Windows 10 laptop with original software virus scanner/protection etc. Anybody has any information? Btw nOS runs on the NEO blockchain and the nOS wallet is probably NEON wallet based system.

@git250 This may be a complete loss to you.
I lost 108 Neo on Dec 20,2017, all of which is pledged to anyone who can get users their assets back.
Ledger holds all support open by "want to duplicate" to figure it out.
They are waiting to claim "User error" so all other support tickets wait.
In my case, they told me to use my "support ticket number" as an RMA where I purchased it.
Then they closed my ticket. ...How many others received the same treatment?

With all the "buffers" and "memory reserved" by operating systems (Win10, Android, MacOS, etc),
my suggestion; is only use the "Ledger Nano S" on a fresh "reboot"
with as little as possible running in the background.

Remember; We are pioneers, blazing trails for others to follow.

This just happened to me 380 NEO lost
$40K lost in NEO
$1K lost in GAS

I sent the NEO to an address on the Ledger Nano S in 2018
I can see it in the blockchain
The address NEONWALLET gives me has changed

I can't find the old address anywhere

Is there anything that can be done????
