Yes that's correct.


1 of 20.

I'd like to add that you're not supposed to store the seed mnemonic digitally. That rules out screenshots and copying to a text file. You're supposed to write it down using pen and paper.


No there won't be any additional fees. Like I said above you prepaid for 20 outgoing transactions.

However it isn't safe to use your 2fa wallet because in the event your phone gets stolen or lost you won't be able to generate the one time password from google authenticator to be able to spend your bitcoins. So to avoid losses you should create a new standard wallet by going to file menu > new/restore and then simply send all your bitcoins to a receive address in the new wallet. You can switch wallet files by going to file > open or recently open. Be sure to write down the new wallet's seed words!

The fee is for 20 outgoing transactions so you will face no additional fee during the next 19 sends. But yeah if you don't want the 2fa protection and want to avoid paying trustedcoin you can just restore from seed and disable 2fa. Go to file menu > new/restore to get started on that.

You need the secret phrase which is better known as the seed mnemonic. Without it you can't spend from your wallet. Did you not write it down when you originally created the wallet?

This is a false positive. Coin mining malware connects to electrum servers too so that's why anti-malware software goes off when any program connects to an electrum server.

How did you manage to import the seed in legacy format? The seed mnemonic encodes the script type of the addresses i.e whether they are native segwit or not so electrum does not even give you the option to choose the script type.


Try what zaguru12 said above and create an imported private key wallet. To do this go to the addresses tab (view > check addresses if it does not appear) and right click on the first address and choose "private key" to view the private key. Copy it to a text document along with the private keys of the first 5-6 addresses. One private key per line.

The private keys will begin with "p2wpkh". Change it to "p2pkh". Then create an imported private key wallet as per this guide below:

hosseinimr93 explained above that you have to select an option in bluewallet when using a seed extension/passphrase with your seed:

You can't expect the cold wallet to show you any transactions. It's offline so it doesn't know about any of your transactions.

Create a watch only wallet on an online device if you want to see transactions. Grab the master public key of the cold wallet using the wallet menu > information window. Then on an online device install electrum and create a deterministic watch only wallet as per this guide:

To spend from your cold wallet see this guide:

The high fee warning usually means the OP entered the wrong amount because he confused mbtc with btc. OP you should change the unit of account to btc under tools > preferences> units tab > base unit option.

To increase the fee you right click on the transaction on the history tab and choose "increase fee" from the menu that appears.

I filed a bug report:

Good job nc50lc.

You get prompted to enter them in the very next step. If you're not seeing it then we have to wonder about your electrum install. What version of electrum are you using? Check your browser history for the exact download URL and share that with us. That is because there are many fake versions out there.

Wallet C was probably created with 2 out of 3 seeds so it can generate all the required signatures all on its own. Wallet menu > information will probably tell you how many seeds it has.

Could be that you have a 2fa wallet and 2fa fees account for the difference you see there

Electrum does not have an iphone version. There were some reports of a fake electrum version on the apple app store. That is coin stealing malware. Did you install that?

Electrum doesn't really allow you to choose the derivation path for wallets created using an electrum seed. It automatically chooses an appropriate derivation path. So there is no need to document that.

Do you see a green orb in the bottom right?



Go to view menu and make sure "addresses" is checked. Then switch to addresses tab to see all the addresses in your wallet. Your wallet has many addresses not just one.

See here for things you can try:

he says he stored the seed words in a text file on his server. one should never store the seed like that.

That guide is too old. To spend from the multisig wallet go to the send tab of one of the cosigners and create a transaction spending some bitcoin. Then click on pay and set a suitable fee in the window that pops up and click on ok. A transaction preview window will now appear with details about the transaction. Click on share > copy to clipboard in the bottom left of that window. Then close the window and go open the other cosigner wallet file using the file menu. Go to tools menu > load transaction > from text, paste in the transaction and click on load transaction. The transaction preview window will appear again. Check that the fee and output addresses and amounts are what you expect and click on sign. Then click on broadcast.

If restoring leads to an empty wallet then see this faq:
