Post by: achow101 on May 07, 2016, 10:58:13 PM I use Multibit (classic). You can create a new wallet and restore from that seed. If it works, then you will see the same addresses.I want to check that my seed works and will recover by btc in the event of failure. How can I check my seed works? However, Multibit classic does not have a seed. Multibit HD uses deterministic keys which has the seed, but Multibit Classic does not. Title: Re: How can I check my seed works easily?

Maybe Multibit HD or Electrum.Title: Re: How can I check my seed works easily? Post by: BitcoinSupremo on June 28, 2016, 11:38:20 AM Its easy doable if you have a desktop and a laptop, which I think anyone of us has in this era of technology. I did so with my electrum 2.5.4 , I installed it in my laptop and then restored with the seed and it worked perfectly , only thing is it took some time to sync different from my desktop. I did the same with Multibit HD and it worked also perfectly although I rarely use Multibit HD compared to Electrum. So as long as you have the seed stored in secure place and are sure only you know it , you can restore it from as many places as you like.

You can save an offline version of this website and try to check your seed https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ at least you can get the addresses and check. |
