Hugs from Argentina.. i want to know about seeds on electrum.. if a want to safe my 12 words and keep information in future for my children, how should i store them.
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)?
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.
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.
Thanks HCP and pooya87 to respond. i'll try that. And and have the 12 words on Electrum bip32, yes. Generated by them.

Re: Does Electrum actually use the derivation path specified during setup?
is there any implementation that uses hardened keys?
Well, Bitcoin Core uses m/0'/0'/i' as default, so hardened keys all the way down to the address index.
I suppose some other older wallets which still use BIP 32 for their derivation paths rather than the more common BIP 44/49/84 may still use hardened keys at all levels, but given almost all wallets now follow BIP 44/49/84, I'm not familiar with any.
that makes sense. i believe wallets that are designed like Electrum that have focused on both BIP-32 (HD wallets) and cold storage mode (offline-online) must use non-hardened addresses because if they don't the online-offline mode won't work since it requires master public key only on the online wallet. core doesn't have this feature so it gets away with it.

i 'm just learning... have you clear this subject?
What do you mean by "You tried bip32.org"? Did you enter your seed phrase from your Electrum wallet on the live website to try and make it generate your master private key?
If this is the case, know that that seed phrase has now been compromised and that wallet is no longer safe. You should not send any funds to that wallet, and any funds which are currently on that wallet you should move out to a newly created wallet. Create a new Electrum wallet from scratch before following the instructions above to obtain your master private key for whatever purposes you need it for.
Never enter your seed phrase on a live website, ever.
yes.. i tried but it was on a wallet that i created for that, in particular... an example wallet to practice.
