BitGo Offline Recovery Tool
A Bitcoin recovery tool for BitGo wallets
Requirements
- node & npm (https://nodejs.org/)
- BitGo KeyCard that was provided upon wallet creation
- Your BitGo wallet password
Goal
The BitGo Offline Recovery Tool provides BitGo customers with a mechanism to retrieve their Bitcoin stored with BitGo wallets agnostic of the status of BitGo.
This tool intentionally has no dependencies on the BitGo platform API. It uses an external API (Chain) for retrieving blockchain data. This is in order to demonstrate that Bitcoin stored in wallets created through the BitGo service can be recovered independently of BitGo, using only the KeyCard provided when creating a wallet on BitGo along with the wallet password.
If you are trying to recover a live BitGo wallet due to a lost password, please use the online wallet recovery functionality available inside the BitGo interface. Contact [email protected] for assistance.
Instructions
npm install
Using the recovery tool:
cd bin/
./bitgo-recovery-tool
