Title: SUPER STRANGE ISSUE
Post by: DrNi on November 05, 2016, 09:05:50 PM
Hey guys, im new to bitcoins, i have an ecommerce website and there i had to write my master public key for electrum. I received a payment and cant see it on my wallet, i tried to restore a wallet just using the public key and saw the bitcoins there. I dont have the seed because its not created by me, i have a mac, the master public key to my and this wallet are the same but the addressed to receive are different

So, who got you the master public key? They should have the master private key (or seed) which is needed to spend the funds.

If you restore a new wallet from your seed does it have the same addresses as the one you restore from the master public key?
