can you extract the private key from that BTC address? The same one the BCC is on.
Or do you only have access to the seed?


I still have access to the wallet and from what I remember the private keys with multibit HD are encrypted by multibit and I'm not sure if I can extract it... Let's say I'm digging online and I find a way to exctract the public and private keys from this address, what would step 2 be?

1. Download electron cash from electroncash.org
2. Select "Standard Wallet" and "I already have a seed"
3. Enter your seed when asked
4. Click "Options" and check the Bip38 box
5. Put in the derivation path (for multibit HD I think it's either m/0'/0 or m/0'/0'.




I already did that and that's how I got only my 1mBTC to show up and nothing else




******SOLVED********


m/0'/0 will only give you the receiving addresses of the wallet
I tried again with https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and in derivation path I put m/0'/1 AND IT GAVE ME THE ADDRESS I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!! Smiley
m/0'/1 gave me the change addresses and m/0'/0 is the receiving addresses. Nobody really mentions it online.

Thanks for your time guys I couldn't be happier now, it was months and months of thinking I'd never be able to get my bch
