Overview: I initially acquired Hbar by converting BTC bought on a mobile app into Hbar through a crypto exchange, then transferring it into my newly created HashPack wallet.
Issue: Being new to crypto staking, I didn’t realize a seed phrase was required until now. With my current seed phrase lost, I’m unsure how to move my Hbar securely to a new wallet. Any advice on generating a fresh seed phrase and safely transferring assets would be appreciated.
hey jade, i woul suggest doin a fresh start by creatin a new wallet rather than tryin to re-gen your current seed phrase since these are generated randomly and not really recoverable once lost. its a bit of a pain but best to start over than risk compromising security. have you checked out the wallet provider docs or their help pages? sometimes they even offer step-by-step guidelines for safely moving funds from one wallet to another, and that might give you some useful pointers. also, on a side note, have you considered if a hardware wallet might be a more secure option in the long run? would love to know what you think about that once you get things rolling!
After facing a similar issue, I found that the safest course of action is to create an entirely new wallet with a new seed phrase instead of attempting to regenerate the seed for your current wallet. In my experience, starting fresh not only enhances security but also gives you a chance to follow the proper backup procedures. Once the new wallet is set up, transfer your assets using the wallet provider’s official guidelines. This approach minimizes risk and ensures that device or account issues don’t result in further loss of essential recovery data.
hey jade, i suggest creat a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase. i had a similar situation and trying to recover a lost one is messy. better follow the official instrucshuns to transfr your funds safely. good luck!
