The bug seems to affect Copay and BitPay wallets, not electrum. Title: Re: BIP39 bug? Is Electrum affected? Post by: ThomasV on February 23, 2017, 10:28:16 AM Electrum is not affected by that, it's a bug in the bitcore library used by Copay.
Even if you can use BIP39 seeds in Electrum, we do not recommend to do so. It is safer to create an Electrum seed. For explanation see http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/seedphrase.html Title: Re: BIP39 bug? Is Electrum affected?

Yes. As long as you have the correct seed generated by electrum you can restore and resync your electrum wallet on any new device you like. |
