Title: Importing master private key from coinomi to electrum (conflicts in address type
Post by: jackg on August 02, 2018, 05:34:13 PM
I got a master private key from coinomi by inputting the seed I got on my phone here (https://www.coinomi.com/recovery-phrase-tool.html) and imported the master private key to electrum (the root private key below that began with xprv).

I pasted that into electrum and electrum brought up legacy addresses while my coinomi app uses bech32 ones. Did I miss something somewhere?

Edit: I tried importing the seed and it worked but I suspect I got the derivation path wrong.

As far as I know, bech32 masterkeys should be zprv/zpub

Ahh, yes they do.

Does anyone know the derivation path I need to use with the seed?

Hmm thanks.
That was the original path but for some reason it didn't work the first time...

Oh well, it's working now.
