Title: What's a good wallet that I can use my mycelium seed with?
Post by: crimdelacrim on April 14, 2015, 12:30:45 AM
Well, I posted a while back about mycelium messing up on my phone. I thankfully still had the series of words they told me to write down. If I had to, can I go buy a trezor/android phone and download the android mycelium wallet? Any other way to do it? I couldn't figure out how to do it with multibit which is what a mycelium help guy said to do.

Electrum https://electrum.org/

I just tried it with electrum 1.9.8 and it won't restore the wallet. When I enter in the passphrase, nothing happens. Am I being an idiot? is electrum bip 39?

Use the latest electrum (2.0 afaik it can restore your mycelium wallet); yes, yo can download mycelium for android and use it there. Multibit HD might be able to restore it too (but its on beta); you can also use greenaddress for computer or android.

Well, while multibit hd is syncing, I tried to download the newest electrum version. I downloaded it and opened it like I opened the last version except, this time, it says "non hexadecimal digit found" or something and nothing happens (on a mac). Maybe I should try it from a different computer.

Feel free to wait for multibit and if nothing works, give a try to GreenAddress for computer. I'm sure that it would work on android greenaddress or greenbits or mycelium for android.

Just in the off chance you know, do you know if the mycelium app required a password when you were getting your mnemonic? Everything has asked me to put a password in or make a password and I don't remember having one. I just remember having to write this down.

Electrum is not compatible with mycelium mnemonics. Here's a comparison of various wallets:

Multibit hd is your best bet but it is currently in beta.

Think you can use multibit , so easy to use but didn't let users change amount of fees , so you have to pay
0.0001 fees per each transactions  ::) .

You can use MultiBit HD (https://beta.multibit.org) and do a restore as if you were restoring a Trezor wallet (which is also BIP 44).

https://beta.multibit.org/en/help/hd0.1/restore-wallet.html

In the restore you put in your wallet words and
underneath be sure to choose the 'Trezor / Mycelium (BIP44)' option as the reply to 'What created these wallet words?'.

You can generate the addresses using this
https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/
You can generate as many addresses as you like.  If you know the last address your Mycelium HD wallet generated, then you only need to generate addresses until you reach that one.
If you don't have access to your Mycelium HD wallet, just keep generating addresses and checking them against the blockchain until you reach an address that has never been used.
I tried it for my wallet, which I have been using long enough to generate more than 200 addresses.
I opened the converter, offline of course, typed in the words and clicked Mycelium.  It reached the last address of my wallet after only 84 addresses.  Probably the reason for this is that the converter only generates the receiving addresses, not the "change" addresses.  
If somebody can explain why the converter generated fewer addresses than Mycelium in actual use, please pipe up.
Naturally, you can find the change addresses to your receiving addresses by looking on the blockchain.
