Almana Hans:
i accidentaly disabled the master key of this account: rswH84UuYXfn8Kc6gLt7rB5JjtCX6fEJmA on jatchili. I tried to renable the master key on the same website but i don't have the new secret key starting with 3 that was displayed. I know i should never have pressed the rekey button on jatchili but i was new on crypto and did not know what I was doing. Right now i still have the main public and private keys but my 140k xrp are locked . I would need any help from a jatchili technician or other specialist to unlock my xrp. It seems that I am not the only person reporting this issue and any help will benefit the community

I found the solution it takes just decoded the address starting with 3 it's an own hashing :) 💯 !!!!

DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!

After the first rekeying, none of the subsequent rekey attempts go through, so you have to have the first one.

Rekeying simply creates a new key pair that can be also be used to access the original account.  The main problem with this program is that it uses a flag which disables the original key by default.  This flag cannot be removed without the (first) new key pair.

The program must interact with the ripple online ledger to work.  It simply returns a key pair offered by the ledger and encrypts it in the 3.... key.  As I understand it, the program itself is not assigning a new key pair, ripple is.  The program simply uses what ripple returns.  Ripple will never assign the same key pair twice, so there is no way of finding the once and only once keypair initiated by the program, and created by Ripple.  Hacking the program will not help, you'd have to hack the ripple network, which is of course impossible.
Therefore
DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!

I was a bit confused at first on how this works. Nothing seemed to work at first except generating a new key and connecting to the ripple network. I knew it was working after seeing the active websocket connections passing messages.

Next, I recall reading that in order for the account to be "active", one must send at least 20 XRP. So I went into my Coinbase account, typed out my account number, and sent 22 tokens. Literally IMMEDIATELY afterwards, from the moment I clicked "send" from Coinbase, till the time I clicked on "get account info", at most 2 seconds may have passed...yet there they were!

For those complaining about the rekey...if you read the error message that shows up on your screen, you will see the reason why it doesnt work is due to your account not being "active" - likely due to the lack of the min 20 tokens. I experienced the same thing, only I read the error message, sent the tokens, and retried. Now it works.

Everything works after you add 20 XRP. I sent 22, and couldnt figure out why it was failing to send 5 tokens back to the original address. I kept on getting "tecUNFUNDED_PAYMENT" error - Turns out that by doing this, the balance drops below 20, and the account no longer is active. At the current time, it appears the fee for transferring directly from xrp-to-xrp is 0.000012 XRP. Note that this fee already accounts for the multiplication/division by 1,000,000.

After getting my 22 tokens, my balance showed up as 22,000,000. After sending 1 of the 22 said XRP back into its source account as a test, ["delivered_amount":"1000000"] , my balance dropped by 1,000,012 - this is where I am getting the 0.000012 fee, which sure as heck beats Coinbase's 0.006296 fee.

I've never experienced something like this in my life. What an amazing technology we have here with XRP, RippleNet, and the entire community of folks, such as the developer of this code, making the barrier to entry less of a hassle.

In just a few hours of time I was able to use this project without much hassle to send and receive XRP. I was able to log into the network, rekey, encrypt the secret, etc. Theres still lots I am not familiar with, such as all the other options...but still, this was one magical moment I'll never forget.

Thank you!

Developer - please let me know how I may buy you a beer/coffee as a thank you for your efforts.

Hi , do you mean that I can recover my account sending 20xrp on it even if the master key has been deleted ? I don't understand your message , I don't think it deals with my issue
