Error when trying to create wallet.

[joe86565]

Hi,

I get the error: "no keys selected for device. please try adding keys first".

Using coldcard and specter 1.0.0 on windows.

Have tried exporting to MicroSD as "Electrum Wallet" and "Generic JSON".

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, at which point do you get this message exactly?

I've made this tutorial for using ColdCard with Specter which might help https://twitter.com/_benkaufman/status/1333759877206904832?s=21

[joe86565]

bitcoin core shows a 0 balance.

status from send end is "confirmed".

is bitcoin core waiting for specter to update?

[joe86565]

also, how can "verify on device" work with coldcard without connecting? there is no option for flash drive.

[ben-kaufman]

In bitcoin core did you select the wallet? should be at the top right corner.

For airgapped address verification coldcard has an address explorer which you can find on the main menu if you have the latest firmware, so you can use that

[joe86565]

no, i did not see / select wallet in the corner and must wait for the scan to complete before i can now.

yes, i verified with address explorer before making transactions. maybe a note about airgapped devices associated with "verify on device" would be helpful.

[joe86565]

scanning complete, balance is restored.

thank you!

have a good weekend.

     Thanks for your help. The error appears at step #10 after selecting "create wallet". I notice these differences when following your steps exactly. Step #5: All XPUB data appears as "Custom" in mine. Your example shows XPUB data in #0 Single Sig (nested), #0 Single Sig (segwit) and Custom. Step #8: Coldcard icon is grayed out and I can not select it as an option. When I select continue... Step #9 Your example shows Signer-1 Coldcard + Network, Purpous, etc. and mine does not. I think the problem may have to do with XPUB data appearing in custom and not #0 Single Sig (nested) and #0 Single Sig (segwit). Any ideas? Thanks. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Thanks for your help, I changed the names in the json file and imported but it did not help. I also changed the deriv & xfp to match the data in the example and it still won't create the wallet: "ERROR: No keys were selected for the device, please try adding keys first" So it creates the device but won't read the keys for some reason. I will try Telegram. Thanks! ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Hi, sorry for the late response. Yes sounds like if it says all keys are "Custom" there might be a problem with the export. Which Coldcard firmware are you on?

[joe86565]

Hi Ben, It's version 3.2.2 I sent the json to the coinkite team to make sure it was not corrupted during export. This is their response: "The file looks 100% okay. One thought: in newer firmware versions, we renamed "p2sh-p2wpkh" from "p2wpkh-p2sh" which was non-standard. Perhaps Specter is sensitive to that change? This would only be an issue with BIP84 style wallets, and only the "name" field is changed." I updated the names in the json as a test and it still did not create a wallet. Please advise. Thanks. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Maybe you could share the file with me in DMs? (@_benkaufman of twitter or @benkaufman on telegram)

I just tested with v3.2.2 cold card and that looks fine...

[joe86565]

someone noticed that bitcoin core is in test mode. do you know how to switch out of test mode (i don't see anything in settings). i'll try this and then send the file if it is not the problem.

[ben-kaufman]

Oh you're connected to a testnet node? Then you'll not be able to create wallets with mainnet keys... that makes sense then.

If you want to use testnet really then you need to change your cold card to testnet mode...
If you want mainnet it depends how are you running Bitcoin Core exactly?

[joe86565]

i did not mean to be connected to a test node intentionally.

sorry, i don't understand your question about how i am running bitcoin core. what information do you need?

[ben-kaufman]

Where is Bitcoin Core running? You connected Specter to a node right? So how did you set up that node?
(btw the top left Bitcoin symbol is green right?)

[joe86565]

yes, top left symbol is green.

i thought i setup bitcoin core with default setting.

specter is set to local server.

[joe86565]

[ben-kaufman]

Starnge, where did you download bitcoin core from? Maybe try to reinstall? https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/

[joe86565]

i found the problem. i generated a shortcut to testnet instead of non-testnet to open the program. i have to wait for sync to complete because wallet is turned off...

[joe86565]

will let you know...

thanks!

[joe86565]

Hi Ben,

Works now, thanks for your help!
