i whave a question.. Hugs from Argentina.
I have Electrum Wallet.
Standard wallet.
Native Segwit
BIP32

where can i get the path? is just m/0 ?
if i use https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
give me an error because my wallet still use bip32, (but is native segwit)
Do you have an Electrum seed mnemonic (ie. one that was generated by Electrum)... or is it a BIP39 compatible seed mnemonic (generated somewhere else)? Huh

If it is an Electrum Seed mnemonic, you will not be able to use Ian Coleman's tool... as Electrum Seed mnemonics are slightly different to BIP39 seed mnemonics... and Ian Coleman's tool only works with BIP39 seeds.

If you have an Electrum Seed and want to test it... try this: https://github.com/FarCanary/ElectrumSeedTester

Is it a fork of Ian Coleman's tool, that has been modified to work with Electrum seeds. It should generate the same addresses as Electrum does. Download it and run it offline... it is just a single .html file to download and open in your browser.
