Title: Mycelium on ipad and iphone
Post by: maidenvoyage on July 27, 2017, 09:57:32 PM
Hi, in preparation for 1 of August I sent my fund from my MULTIBIT HD wallet to a new Mycelium wallet on my iphone. All OK.
For a test i loaded Mycelium on my iPad and entered the 12 seed words.. As I understood it, this would create the same wallet on my iPad as on my iPhone.
It created a wallet ... but the wallet on the iphone has another public Key and no funds.. whereas my iphone wallet (thank god hehe) received all my funds from MULTIBIT HD.

I understood that the passphrase will recover my wallet everywhere with all funds and transaktions???
Any suggestions?

Are you saying your entire wallet is empty on your iPad? Or are you talking about the specific address showed in the "Receive" tab?

You created a HD wallet, which means that your wallet will generate a new address after each transaction to increase your privacy, but your old ones will stay in your control. Read this to understand better: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet

Your wallet should be the same and it should contain your whole balance if you imported the correct seed. So, I'm assuming this could be the problem.

Hey TryNinha,
Yes.. my wallet on my iPad, created with the backup seed from my main wallet on iphone IS EMPTY.
I has another "Public Key" .. This is not expected behaviour???

I think it has to do with the fact that MYCELIUM is ONLY for iPhone and Android..... I might be, that on iPad the wallet gets created differently.
I deleted my app on iPad, and tried to download it again. BUt I saw.. It is iPHONE ONLY...
this might be the problem.....

I don't think problem should be between different versions, versions have nothing to do with bitcoin.
As you said wallet generated new public address, that's not problem at all. Mutli HD wallet is meant to generate new addresses periodically. To check all addresses associated with your account, click 'sign message'.
But if your wallet is empty then this could be a concern. Check whether your transaction is confirmed or not. Also if you double spent it or not.
