Hi, firstly thanks for replying.
Secondly i already tried the m/0' solution i found here somewhere, and i still end up with 0.BCH when the wallet loads up,
eventhough i have BTC stored in those seeds for around one year(never moved).
Any idea why it would show up empty?

If seed 100% works in MBHD, it could Possibly be a "gap limit" issue? MBHD has default of 50-100 i think, Electrum has 20. Plus, I vaguely remember that MultiBit HD would "generate" a new receive address every time you click on the receive tab, regardless of whether or not the previous address had actually been used. So it could simply be a case of your coins being in addresses out past Electrum's default gap limit of 20.

Restore the seed into Electrum, BIP39, dpath of m/0'

Then: "View -> show console", click the "console" tab and enter the following two commands:

Code:

wallet.change_gap_limit(100)
wallet.storage.write()

see if your coins show up... if they do, great, do the same thing in ElectronCash.

If they dont , try same commands with 200 Wink

Hello, i have the same issue with electrum, it shows 0. mBTC.
However if i use the same passphrase with multibit it shows me my correct amount of BTC.
I do however had it password protected and i have some numbers with / to
like for example 1234/56 i don't know what that is for, but i wrote it down next to my seed also so it must be of some importance.
Hope you can help my in figuring out what is wrong.

you mean the seed had an extra password attached? if so, try using the "extend seed with extra word" option during seed entry... and enter your password there.

The numbers are specific to MBHD, they basically represent the wallet creation date and are used by MBHD to speed up transaction scanning after a restore... basically it wont look for transactions BEFORE the wallet was first created.

Hi,
none of the above solutions worked for me, and i know for a fact that my seed works because i succesfully retrieved my BTC and sent them elsewhere in the meantime so they are not stored on MBHD anymore.
However the console command prompts do not show me my BCC. Not with 100 nor 200.
I also tried the password thing but that did not change anything either.
Is there an easy way i can perhaps retrieve my private keys or something from MBHD?
That should also do the trick hopefully.

Thanks for the help though!
