| Dec 13, 2017 at 16:30 | comment | added | user19510 | I'm out of ideas... I hope the Jaxx support team is able to figure out what happened and provide some assistance. | |
| Dec 13, 2017 at 16:20 | comment | added | ThePatrician | I did try the iancoleman tool, but it didn't have my address listed... which means... jaxx didn't use the same mnemonic to create the address. Wow. Is it possible that this is some kind of screwed up HD-wallet function? It might be helpful if I point to the actual transactions. I currently have access to the 0x33fe wallet. That's the original wallet. When I went to send ETH, Jaxx created 0xe866, and then sent them to the contract address at 0xBEc5. So, just for clarity, I need to unlock 0xe866. etherscan.io/address/0x33fef8fd5c32c648c802ee080c29568e549162ff | |

By entering your mnemonic into a web page, you could be effectively giving away your private key. Yes, I've personally used the site in the past, but at any point it could be subverted/hacked/etc. If you're unsure how much you should trust Ian Coleman and random URLs, there's an offline version of the same tool, here: github.com/iancoleman/bip39 | |
