Title: So there's no way to direct import a native segwit wallet on mycelium?
Post by: bL4nkcode on May 23, 2019, 10:33:24 AM
I've been trying to import my native segwit wallet to mycelium with its private key starting p2wpkh but there's no way it can be imported due it's an unrecognized format.

And removing the p2wpkh: in the private key will only do the work  :-\

Private keys don't contain the address type. This is just a feature in electrum to let it know what addresses you wan't to derive.
The private key is for each address type the same.

You can simply import your private key into electrum and then change the script type by clicking on the QR (should show: Tap for Bech32  /  Tap for P2PKH   /  Tap for P2SH below the QR).
Just tap it (minimum 1, maximum 2 times) until you get your bech32 address.
