Title: Electrum and Ledger Nano S balance not synced Post by: dginoob on March 14, 2018, 04:53:53 PM Hi,
I have just set up an Electrum wallet and linked it to my Ledger Nano S. However, my Electrum wallet shows a balance of 0, even though there is some amount in my Ledger Nano wallet. From the instructions it looked like once I created my Electrum Wallet, and linked it to my Ledger Nano, then the 2 wallets would be synced, and I could use the Electrum wallet to make payments (which would be taken from the Ledger Nano wallet). Can anyone tell me if I have misunderstood, and/or how to sync the wallets properly. If they cannot be synced, do I need to make a transfer from my Ledger Nano wallet to my Electrum wallet, before I can send a payment from Electrum? As background, the reason I need to use Electrum is that the Ledger Nano does not support BitPay. Thanks in advance Title: Re: Electrum and Ledger Nano S balance not synced Post by: apimembership on March 14, 2018, 10:35:53 PM Hi, Normally , it should be synced. Which version of electrum do you use? and can you try to upgrade your firmware to latest on ledger.I have just set up an Electrum wallet and linked it to my Ledger Nano S.

I am using the latest version of Electrum 3.1.1. I will try updating my ledger firmware.

I have fixed the problem. For anyone else with the same issue, it was due to the wallet derivation. The default is (m/44'/0'/0'), and this is what was shown in the instructions I followed when first setting up. For my ledger however, it needed to be (m/49'/0'/0'). After using these settings instead, my ledger and Electrum wallets are now synced and show the same balance. |
