I have a really strange issue. Last Friday I send some funds to a Cake Wallet Taproot address using a silent payment. Let’s call it address A. From that address A I send a small amount to an other address. Address X. Now I received funds again on address A. The exact same address. I can see it in the blockchain. When I check the address, I see three transactions. 2 incoming and 1 outgoing. However, the wallet only shows 1 incoming and one outgoing address. The second incoming transaction never shows. Even though it’s already confirmed days ago.
I tried importing the wallet in Sparrow and Bluewallet, but they both can’t find the funds. Support does not respond anymore, after explaining my problem. Are my funds now lost forever?
Problem is not solved. I had contact with support but they still need to get back to me on it. I updated the ticket a few days later but never got response anymore.
Can you post the ticket number? Look for it somewhere in your in-app support live chat, or in your e-mail, if you reached out using the application, or e-mail, accordingly. Someone will have a look at it and reply as soon as possible.
Silent Payment’s generated addresses are not made to be reused, which is a case we didn’t add in Cake, so that’s why you are not seeing the new transaction, we are not planning to add it as it counters the privacy that silent payments offer.
but I made a custom build that adds this feature so you can retrieve your funds, please let me know what approach is better for you to get an APK for this that you can install side-by-side with Cake (i.e you don’t need to uninstall the original production Cake Wallet, you can install this APK, it will be under the name “Silent Payments Reuse”).
Also please note that this build is a trial; it should check for new transactions in existing generated SP addresses. so you just restore your wallet there, use SP scanning with the correct date of the first SP transaction, and then hopefully you will be able to see and send the new funds
Are my funds now lost forever?
