Hi, I imported a bip39 seed to electrum which contains multiple btc adresses with balance, but electrum wallet only shows 1 adress with balance. Anyone knows why?
Possible causes:
1. Gap limit. Electrum has a default gap limit of 25. If the other addresses are past this generation limit, Electrum won't see them until you force it to.
2. You have a mixture of address types (Legacy + Nested SegWit + Native SegWit etc) in your Ledger Live setup. An Electrum wallet instance only supports one type. So you would need to create a Legacy wallet and then a separate Nested SegWit wallet (and a separate Native SegWit wallet if reqd).


Curious as to why you imported the seed mnemonic directly instead of simply "pairing" Electrum with your Ledger device using the builtin hardware wallet functionality within Electrum? Huh
