Title: Generating public addresses from an Electrum HD Master Public Key
Post by: BitcoinGirl325 on August 14, 2015, 02:42:54 AM
Hi there,

I am interesting in building a database app that will allow a user to paste in their Master Public Key from their Electrum HD wallet, and then the database will generate public Bitcoin addresses for them (based on their Master Public Key).

Does anybody know where I can find instructions on how to generate public Bitcoin addresses from an Electrum HD Master Public Key?

Thanks!

Please have a look at this utility:

Maybe it does what you need.

Thanks for the link. I was actually looking to work with the "Master Public Key" feature of Electrum HD, so that all the generated addresses would appear within Electrum.

you need to restore a wallet from the master public key
