Title: Electrum/Bitcoin on windows phone?
Post by: ANON.PURGED on February 25, 2016, 10:18:10 PM
Is there any existing download link for Electrum for Windows phone? Electrum got wallet seed right? But is there any app for windows phone that can use that seed?

The only wallet that I would trust on windows phone is Copay.
I'm not sure if it can recover an Electrum seed there, but it's pretty much your only option in my opinion. Might as well try it.

Actually, it's the only choice of wallet listed in Bitcoin.org (https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet) (go to Mobile > Windows Phone). Anything that isn't listed there, I wouldn't trust with my money.

There isn't much app development going on for Windows Phone. Any other wallet would be very sketchy.
@OP, it would be better for you to use a wallet on your computer or sweep the funds to your windows phone copay wallet.

Copay seems to support (https://github.com/bitpay/copay) BIP32, so you can probably restore your Electrum seed there. Not sure if it allows for seed restore on a Windows device, tho...

If it does it would be a great addition to the spreadsheet on this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000544.0) thread :D

I'll test that, I'll make a wallet in Copay and try to restore it in Electrum and see how it goes and make one in Electrum and try it on Copay.

My guess is, it won't work for one reason or the another. The wallet might show completely different addresses because as far as I can see I only see addresses starting with 3 in Copay, even if you use 1 of 1.

Thanks for the answers and concerns!

My opinion on this thread is, Yeah guys its impossible to restore electrum wallet seed from another Wallet Application. But i think this will be possible on future. If electrum would do so. Copay is the most trusting BTC wallet on WP. Yeah so the only way to get the bitcoins is to just send the bitcoins to my copay wallet address as i dont have pc right now.
