Title: how to run Qt-wallet as server for electrum mobile
Post by: hideonbush on April 16, 2019, 02:11:56 AM
hello,

i have some coins (similar bitcoin) in electrum mobile.
for now, it has 2 version: 1, Qt-wallet ; 2, electrum mobile. (no source code)
all servers electrum mobile is offline. i think the idea is run Qt-wallet as server for electrum mobile and connect to it => move the fund.

how i can move my coins from electrum mobile => Qt-wallet?

thank you for reading

p/s: i can't import privatekey which export from electrum wallet => Qt-wallet. ( it look different format)

Are you saying that you are using Altcoins that have an "Electrum"-like mobile wallet? ???

You definitely should be able to export the private keys from the "electrum" wallet... although if it is truly based on the Bitcoin verions of Electrum mobile, it'll only export either the "12 word seed menmonic" or the Master Private Key (aka "xprv")...

Using either of those, you should be able to use tools that will allow you to generate the private keys for each address in your wallet... tools like:
Ian Coleman's BIP39 Mnemonic Converter: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/
Electrum specific version of the same tool: https://github.com/FarCanary/ElectrumSeedTester

Once you have the correct private keys, you'll be able to import them into the QT wallet fairly easily.

What coins, and what wallet specific are you using? ???

That honestly looks like they've just taken the true Electrum source code, made very minimal changes (including not changing the title or authors!!?! :o :o) and then compiled and released an Android APK...

What do you get when you tap the "wallet name" at the top of the main Electrum screen? You should see the wallet details and a "Show Seed" button. If you click that, do you get 12 word seed?


EDIT: sent you some external contact details via PM in case you are having issues with posting/message limits
