Hello forum


Are HD-accounts and "conventional/non-changing addresses at the same time possible in Mycelium?


Thank's a lot

Joe



PS
I have to admit that - after having the possibility of having a HD-account - which does solve the "problems"
with "Change Addresses", i could not see yet the advantage of a conventional/non-changing address anymore :-)

The short answer is yes.

Press the "Add key" button on the accounts page:

Scroll to the bottom and press "Advanced":

Pick your "import" method, 'Scan', 'Paste' or 'Generate' (Take note of the warning about needing to do backups!):

Your new "one off" key/address displays under "Other Accounts":

Thank you very much for the feedback!

-> (Take note of the warning about needing to do backups)
Is this also the case for HD-accounts (my idea was that with the initial 12 word backup seeds everything in the future should be includes as well)?

Thank's a lot!

Correct, that is the point of 12 word backup seeds... your entire HD wallet and all the keys/addresses in that HD wallet can be recreated from the 12 word seed.

The note about needing to do backups, only applies to the "Singe Address Accounts" created by importing a private key
