<p>I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I added a new wallet to my BTCPayServer, but I did not add &quot;-[taproot]&quot; to the end of the xPub. I assume that it then was perceived as a Segwit wallet, and the addresses generated was Segwit and not Taproot.</p>

<p>My question is, since it's the same xPub key used, wouldn't I be able to somehow use the private key to sign a transaction with that Segwit wallet to get the funds out?</p>

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I added a new wallet to my BTCPayServer, but I did not add "-[taproot]" to the end of the xPub. I assume that it then was perceived as a Segwit wallet, and the addresses generated was Segwit and not Taproot.

Basically I sent a transaction to one of the addresses not realizing my mistake, and now I have lost access to those Bitcoin, for what I hope is temporarily.

My question is, since it's the same xPub key used, wouldn't I be able to somehow use the private key to sign a transaction with that Segwit wallet to get the funds out?

I use a Ledger Nano S Plus.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance!

I was able to recover the funds by connecting my Ledger device to a third-party wallet Electrum. I set up a Native Segwit account but used a taproot derivation path to attempt the recovery.

Here are the steps I followed:
