Title: Mutlibit HD to another wallet
Post by: JerryMotov on December 24, 2017, 09:45:14 PM
Hi,
I have some bitcoins on a MultibitHD wallet.
Is it possible to move my bitcoins from that wallet to like blockchain or coinbase without having to pay a massive fee?
Regards,
Jerry

Export your private key and import it into the wallet of your choice. Importing/exporting on a offline wallet recommended

You can't export private keys directly from MultiBit HD... it just doesn't have that functionality.

What you need to do is to import your MultiBit HD seed (aka your "wallet words") into a compatible wallet... At this time, the best solution is Electrum, as it allows "custom" Derivation Paths, and MultiBit HD used a non-standard derivation path of m/0'

You can follow this video to migrate your wallet from MultiBit HD to Electrum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-KcY6KUVnY



If you REALLY want to get your coins into blockchain or coinbase, if they allow importing (NOT sweeping!!!) of private keys, then you can export the private keys for the individual addresses out of Electrum once you have imported the seed.
