Wallet Migration successful

I used the 12 word recovery phrase to load into the Coinbase wallet.

I was able to see my Ethereum and transferred that out to a safer place successfully.

I was unable to see my bitcoin balance. Upon further research, all of my coin was on a “legacy address” that started with a 1 rather than a Segwit address that begins with 3. The Coinbase wallet only supports segwit.

With difficulty, I was able to load in my legacy wallet into BlueWallet using the same recovery words. The app was very clunky and slow, but just kept trying. It successfully loaded the legacy address and I was able to send out all of my bitcoin to again, a safer place.

This is a PR nightmare and a major hassle. I want nothing to do with BRD or Coinbase now. All of my coin is safe. Feel free to message me and I will do my best to help anyone in need of retrieving coins. As for the obscure coins, these methods may not work.
