Hello.
I don’t know much about Daidalus wallets.
I created them in 2021 and my wallet is marked as Byron.
However, when I try to transfer tokens from that wallet to another, I get an “Error occurred” warning.
The pending transaction is created, but the history of that transaction is not found on the network.
Some people say this problem is caused by a bad UTXO, but the underlying issue is that I’m too clumsy and forgot the seed phrase.
I only have the Daidalus wallet security key.
Please help me.
Official support for Daedalus is only through IOG’s Zendesk:
https://iohk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
That it creates a pending transaction should mean that you have password correct.
Is the Daedalus fully synced? It will only work correctly once it is.
If and when you get this working, it’s probably best to move everything to a new Shelley wallet in a light wallet app, e.g., Lace.
Yes, it’s synced correctly. But can you tell me how I can transfer the data from the restored wallet to a lightweight wallet without the seed phrase?
Have you just tried to do it again?
You can’t. You have to get sending in Daedalus working!
The light wallets (except for adalite.io and adawallet.io) cannot even handle Byron wallets. And those two can also only import with seed phrase. Hence: “If and when you get this working …”
so do you mean I should try sync again?
No. Send again. In case it really built the transaction wrong on the first try.
No idea!
As said, you can reach official support for Daedalus by those who made it at:

Thanks very much
Good luck. I was getting stressed reading the thread.
If you happen to have an old Daidalus wallet, could you send it to me? Any version lower than 3.3.0 will do.
On the one hand, I don’t. On the other hand, what do you want to do it with it? Such old versions just won’t function properly anymore.
Daedalus contains a full node and you need a recent version of Daedalus with a recent version of the node inside, so that it is able to communicate with the rest of the network.
However, ChatGPT says this issue can be resolved by using an older version. It’s been six hours since I sent a message to the Daedalus Wallet support team, but I still haven’t received a response.
ChatGPT is wrong. It often is. Using AI makes humanity infinitely more stupid,
hmm, so I can’t use this wallet forever?
If you don’t find out what’s wrong and get it to work in a recent Daedalus version, no.
Is it by any chance one of these addresses that you are trying to spend from?

no. what is address?
Then, it’s all good and you just have to try to figure out what your error is and/or wait for IOG support.
I just remembered that 90% of the “I only have secret.key!” questions are about a secret.key that belongs to those two addresses. It is going around for years and it does not contain the private keys for them. People have tried many, many times. And some were scammed to pay for that file.
thanks very much
