I have a private key, but I don’t have a mnemonic word, so I can’t transfer lisk. When can wallet support the function of importing a private key? not just only support 12 passphrase?
Hi @asamu!
Thanks for your question.
Lisk Desktop will not support passphrase imports in the foreseeable future.
oh ! I bought 10000 LSK in 2017, at that time, only the private key had no mnemonic words,I kept the private key。Can’t my LSK transfer out?
Hi @asamu!
There is a possibility, but it is not so straight forward. It includes the following steps:
- Use the
@liskhq/lisk-transactionspackage to create a new transfer transaction. Don’t provide the passphrase, which will create an unsigned transaction object.
https://lisk.io/documentation/lisk-sdk/v2/reference/lisk-elements/packages/transactions.html#type-0-transfer - Use the
getTransactionBytesmethod of the same package with the newly created transaction object, to get the transaction Bytes:
https://lisk.io/documentation/lisk-sdk/v2/reference/lisk-elements/packages/transactions.html#gettransactionbytes - Use the
signDataWithPrivateKeymethod of the@liskhq/lisk-cryptographypackage:
https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk-sdk/blob/v2.3.8/elements/lisk-cryptography/src/sign.ts#L224-L231 - Broadcast the signed transaction via the API client:
https://lisk.io/documentation/lisk-sdk/v2/reference/lisk-elements/packages/api-client/transactions.html#broadcast
This should be more or less all steps to sign a transaction with the private key. Please let me know if it fixed your problem!
Oh,It was too complicated for me to use. At that time, I called this command directly to my address. Now this command is no longer available. I can’t use the private key after downloading my wallet. Unfortunately, I may lose these LSKs
