So today we're just going to a real quick video that looks at how to
use another tool that can help find lost etherium so I'll put a link to the
description and it's a really good tool it's a safe tool so it works directly
with your hardware wallets so you don't need to go punching in see phrases or
anything like that the other thing that's really good about findeth is it
will prevent you from just entering your 24 words seed straight into the website
so it protects you from yourself which frankly is is really well done it can be
used to quickly search for addresses can we search for Ether balances or ERC20
tokens okay so it's going to do a quick example of how they use it to find some
lost Eth so you basically just go to findeth.io you have your ledger connected
unlocked and on the Ethereum app we say we're gonna find ether we've got a
ledger we're gonna go to 5 addresses that's
enough we'll select all of them and we'll say search now we just sit and
wait for a minute and it will basically search through all the derivation paths
up to 5 addresses deep and let's see there we go search complete so it found
some Eth at that address so that's that's progress so we can actually even
if we want to use then access that address we can just go to like my ether
wallet and we can see that I yes I'd accidentally sent it to Ethereum
Classic because you know maybe back in the day I was a n00b and didn't
understand the difference between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic it's an
easy, easy mistake for people to make so there's the address there but we can
select and then we can use that just like a normal wallet but we might
also think I'm sure there was more than that so I'll just do another
example finding some tokens as well as searching a number of addresses
so we're going to use a Trezor for that now
So we connect that up
start searching we want to find Ether with a Trezor
So we connect our Trezor
we wait yep we allow it to export all right so
you'll notice with the Trezor there's a lot more options as basically all the
same options that we saw in my ether wallet that we can search on the
Trezor or just because it supports all of these all in one go so let's hit search.
We'll allow it from this service just going to be a bit patient here we go so
this one's searching a lot more addresses so it will take a little bit
longer but as you can see it's still very very fast much faster than doing it
any other way
ah and there we go so this one has this
again two separate addresses so it's found one that is the "Ledger ETC" and
then this one is another derivation path that it's found which is the Tresor ETC
and again this is something that that could very easily happen if you
started out with say a Tresor and then upgraded to say a Ledger Nano X and
discover that you actually couldn't find all of your Ethereum even though you're
using the same key so it's very easy for this to happen
and I'll just do a quick demo of how to find an ERC20 token as well so say you
knew the contract of an ERC20 token that was sent so that's this one here
it's OmiseGo and let's search for that
let's say token you just stick the contract address in so again that's this
field here just off etherscan for that token type and then say next so we've
got a Trezor... export
okay so that's just such all of those again cuz who knows where this token was
sent we go out searching again
righto so that was sent to this address
here so that's really good so we can use that to find tokens we can use that to
find Ethereum now the issue is going to be that if you did upgrade from a
Trezor to a ledger and you can't find your stuff you've downloaded all the
different Ledger apps for the different sorts of coins and tokens and
just can't find it it's it's possible that you might want to use your mnemonic
phrase to do a search to find the address that has them on it so say for
example you had an address that you knew the tokens were at but you didn't know
what the derivation path was you can find the address that you might be
looking up so we'll just grab this one from before and you can search that way
and you'll notice if you try and click mnemonic it tells you that this is only
available locally so I'll actually put together a separate video for how to do
that just because it's a fairly involved process so anyway that's just a really
quick overview for findeth.io as an app and look i hope that's been useful to
you if you've got any other questions about how to use this tool or other
issues that you run into that I might have missed certainly just leave
a reply in the comments and I'll do my best to get back to that so again if
this has been useful to you subscribe or send us the tip whatever works for you
hoping to just continue to I guess put some regular material together that just
outlines some different tools and things that can help folk to learn in the space
to recover stuff they've lost it and to stay safe so yeah
best of luck
