I have a Onename profile. When I run blockstack-browser I’m prompted to either restore an account or create one. Should I restore an account using my onename identity or create a new account?
If I should restore my account, where do I find my “backup phrase?” I have an “App encrypted secret” is that the same thing?
If I should create a new account, how does my onename identity and the blockstack browser work together?
You’ll need to transfer your Onename name to the Blockstack Browser wallet.
To do that, you’ll need to get an identity owner address from your browser wallet and export your name from Onename to that address.
We’ll enable a feature in the Browser very soon to provide that ability.
You can stack status of the feature in this github issue:
Yiha! Ticket moved into Doing for current release. Still might take a bit but this is getting there. Thanks guys.
hey @larry, team, it’s kinda crazy to reopen this discussion almost 10 year later.
I use to own a onename identity back then in 16. i found today on a very old drive a recovery phrase for my onename id and it’s associated address. it turns out there is a quite interesting amount of btc on that address.
i tried to use the recovery phrase to derive manually the private key and unfortunately the onename phrase does not seems to follow the standard bip39 dictionary. that is a pity as i can recover the private key.
it looks like online there is zero docs on how onename used this strange 12 words passphrase.
do you know if there is a way i can regain access to recover these btc?
many thanks,
Marco
