Title: HD Master Pub Key for Multisig?
Post by: Eggman3 on September 20, 2015, 02:05:48 PM
Hi, So I wanted to import a master pub key from my electrum 2.2.4 multisig 2 of 2 into my mycelium wallet so I could get all  the receiving addresses and easily send between my electum multisig, and my mycelium hot wallet. 

However, I copied the master public key (self x1) from one of the wallets into mycelium (via accounts/add key/advanced/scan) and it started giving me addresses that begin with 1 instead of 3.  I ended up sending some dust to the first receiving address without first confirming they were correct (bye bye dust!)  Am I trying something that isn't possible?  Do both master pub keys need to be somehow combined in order to get a correct multisig master pub key or should both multisig mast pub keys produce the same addresses?

Mycellium and Electrum key derivation is mutually incompatible even for single key addresses. Install electrum for android and maybe you can create a watch only wallet. Otherwise see if mycelium allows you to watch individual addresses and copy some of the addresses from the multisig electrum wallet.
