i dont know how to do this seed thing

would be easier to just use that site to view any coins but how do i find the address? when i go to the send / receive area they are greyed out so i cant click them to view the address

i dont want to spend them, i just want to see if i have any as ive been told they could be worth a lot of money

can u tell if i have any coins from my image in my 1st post?

According to that image you posted, you should have about 6.35 mBTC on that wallet, that's about $350 at the current exchange rate.

Although I've never used the MultiBit HD wallet, based on what I've read, the next logical step would be to get your seed words and restore your wallet in another desktop software, such as Electrum. To restore your wallet in Electrum, you can try this instruction: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/restoring-your-multibithd-wallet-in-electrum/


oh what a shame. how come i have over 6 but they only worth $350? is it cos they are micro bitcoins?

right lets start from beginning cos i no idea what i need to do.

i have my password and my 12 random words but when i open multibit hd it wont synchronise.

i can view my transaction history but nothing more

all i wish to do is find out if i have any coins. i dont want to restore my wallet or create a new one or transfer to a new wallet. just want to check my bitcoin balance

to do this i know i need my wallet address but i dont know how or where to find this

can anyone advise how i find my wallet address?

thanks for all you help and advice so far but its just too confusing for me Sad i need it to be step by step instructions to guide me to viewing my wallet address please x x

do i need to let it finish synchronizing first?
Yes let it sync, or you can import seed phrase in some other wallet like Electrum for example.

will this cost me any coins?


is there a way i can view my balance?
Yes.
Just type your address to any bitcoin blockchain explorer:
- Bitaps.com
- Blockchair.com
- Blockcypher.com
- Blockchain.com
- Mempool.space
- Blockstream.info



when u say address? where will i find this address please?

So i have 2 wallets that i set up in 2016 and want to see if i have any coins
Ive clicked on MULTIBIT HD thats on my desktop from 2016
i log into wallet 1 and it says preparing to synchronize but doesnt seem to do anything after that, same with wallet 2
if i press the finish button i can see my payments list but i cant see an actual balance anywhere.
do i need to let it finish synchronizing first?
is there a way i can view my balance?
im so sorry if i sound stupid. i didnt really know what i was doing back in 2016 and i still dont now
i would insert a screen shot on this message if i knew how! ive had to add a link to the image
