Hello,

Thank you @ranochigo, @NotATether, @HCP for your answers.
I am gonna try to reply as much concise I can.

HCP:Did you select "I already have a seed -> Options (BIP39 seed) -> entered the 12 word recovery words -> set derivation path to m/0'" ?

Yes it's what I did with electrum wallet, and the balance is divided by 100. If I don't select these options, I have nothing. I don't have password keys they are encrypted in aes file.

I want to specify, I didn't make any transaction with electrum wallet. With BRD in fast sync, I couldn't.

HCP: As for BRD, it seems like there might be an issue with it syncing properly... so it isn't showing the correct transaction history/balance.

Yes, it's what BRD support think. There is an issue with fast sync mode. May be the initial balance is wrong ?
I must admit that I would prefer to access to the balance: 0.38 than 0.004. I almost 90% sure it's the correct balance, the balance when the multibit crashed. 0.004 doesn't make sense for me.

NotATether: That sounds like a transaction has been made that spent exactly 99% of your bitcoins

No, I forgot this wallet for a long time. No transaction since 2017. Or you think something else ?

NotATether: when in doubt, check your address balance in a block explorer

Great suggestion. How do you do that?
I would like to check this before let the BRD synchronize completely.

Ranochigo: Did you check the denomination used in Electrum?

"denomination" ? You mean bip39 => m/0 ? Yes, it's what I did. In fact, I wanted to try your method with password keys imported, and adjust fees before sweeping following this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5311792.0. But unfortunately, I don't have access to password keys because of encryption.

With seeds in electrum, I cannot adjust fees during the recovery process. Is this normal ?


So every advices are precious.

Thank you for your help  Smiley
