Hi thanks for the reply.

I have only 1 more transaction left that is unconfirmed but i wanted to use Electrum. I try to import it with my private keys ( 12 words ) of Multibit HD but nothing happens ? I opened Electrum, go to File, New/Restore, Standard Wallet, I already have a seed. Options: Select BIP39 seed. Paste my Multibit HD seed. Select account 0 and finish. It just shows me i have 0 balance and if i open Multibit HD i can still see my balance. Huh

Ok, sorry for the confusion. My instructions were based on you needed to get coins out of MultiBit Classic, not HD. Also, just to clarify 12 words IS NOT the same as private keys. 12 words are your "seed" or "wallet words". They are different things. HD wallets use the 12 word seed to generate private keys.

Now, unfortunately for you, MultiBit HD seeds are NOT compatible with any other Desktop wallet application that I have found. The only wallets I have found that work with MBHD seeds are "Breadwallet" (available for iOS and Android devices) and "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" (available for Android)

So you will need to install one of those apps, restore using your 12 words and then let it sync (might take an hour or so depending on the speed of your connection). Once the app is fully sync'd, your balance should show up and you can send coins as required.

NOTE: I do not vouch nor recommend either of these applications as long term storage solutions for your coins. I would still recommend that you setup Electrum and then send the coins to your Electrum wallet.

If you cannot install Breadwallet or "Simple Bitcoin Wallet", then there are other other options like running my python script that will extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD wallet, but that is a little technical if you're not familiar with Python and running scripts.

You can also extract your private keys manually. It is long and tedious... but doesn't really require any special skill, just a lot of time and patience. Wink
