wow. you’re incredibly helpful and responsive ADAfrog! I really do appreciate your assistance
Completely agree, i will have my keys in future on an offline server, this was really just my first attempt
I’ve been able to use this scenario to teach me how to generate address and sign transactions manually (not through cntools) so it hasnt bee a waste 
From the payment.vkey and stake.vkey ive recovered, i have manually generated the payment.addr, but unfortunately it does not match the payment address i sent funds to
Soo this leads me to believe that the recovered keys, may have been for another address. Agree?
or is there different ways that the same keys can generate a different payment address?
But still goes to show, even if you think you’ve deleted your keys from a machine…file recovery can still recover them. be vigilant
Thankyou
