You can modify 2 lines of code in the iancoleman website and have it generate the keys from an Electrum seed mnemonic Wink

Can you explain the modification in detail?

1. Search for this function (should be near Line ~104000):

Code:

self.check = function(mnemonic)

Change the last line from:

Code:

return h == nh;

to:

Code:

return true;

2. Search for this function (should be just under the one above):

Code:

self.toSeed = function(mnemonic, passphrase)

Change the following line from:

Code:

passphrase = "mnemonic" + passphrase;

to:

Code:

passphrase = "electrum" + passphrase;

NOTES:
- This will break the checksum functionality. The "return true;" modification basically makes it think ANY seed you type in is correct.
- To get it to generate the same addresses as Electrum:
1. Enter Electrum Seed
2. Click "BIP32" tab
3. Set "client" to "Custom Derivation Path"
4. Set "BIP32 Derivation Path" to: m/0 (to see "change" addresses, use m/1 )
