1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How safe it is to use 4 letter shortened words? on: April 27, 2025, 11:33:16 AM
Do you know maybe when creating new seed in Electrum if by chance I get all words that are BIP39 compatible (without "special" words unique for Electrum word list) can I recreate that seed on BIP39 wallet?

You will definitely get a seed with bip39 words only because that's been the default behaviour of electrum since version 2.0. However it won't be a bip39 seed and you won't be able to restore it in other bip39 wallets. Wallet software has to support electrum seeds for you to be able to restore in it.

It's dangerous to use your wallet on other people's devices. You don't know what sort of malware those devices might have.

Labels are saved in your Electrum wallet files. But is there a way to only save the labels on your local machine without a copy of your wallet file and without using LabelSync?

You can export them. Wallet menu > labels > export
4  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to send BTC from Electrum to Binance? on: March 24, 2025, 07:46:26 PM
Firstly check your coins distribution on ELECTRUM. If you have them on chain then choose BTC or bitcoin as the network but if you have the coins on a lighting network you can choose lightning on binance. My best guess is those coins are on the bitcoin network not a lightning network. If you are confused which just opens your balance on Electrum and you will find the amount of coins you have on chain and also the ones you have on a lightning network if any.

Lightning network if an alternative off the bitcoin network and since you are asking this question then I assume you can't make use of a lightning channel so simply go with OmegaStarScream's point.

How do I check where the coins are distributed?

If you're on PC or mac then click on the balance in the bottom left. It should display a pie chart telling you how many of your coins are on-chain and how many are on lightning.

There was no seed extension AKA passphrase functionality in electrum versions that old. The seed was all you needed to restore the wallet.

Actually you don't have to change the gap limit at all. You can use the following command in the console to get the private key for a specific index:

Code:
getprivatekeyforpath("m/0'/50000")
7  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: how to access missing balances at higher indexes on: March 16, 2025, 01:40:20 PM
There is no need to export all the private keys. You can get an address specific private key using the getprivatekeys() command in the electrum console or via the command line.

edit: you can also just use the gui Smiley. bring the addresses tab into view via the view menu and then ctrl+f to search the list of addresses. Right click on the address you are looking for and choose 'private key' to view the private key.

I know quite a bit about Electrum private key, public keys, spending and storage in air gapped or hardware wallets etc,  I just need to know how to trust a public key in Electrum on Linux Mint v22
What exactly are you afraid of and what do you think can happen after importing an Electrum public key into your new Linux distro? Since you said that you know quite a lot, then I am sure you know that having someone's public key can't help you spend their coins. Importing public keys is not a question of security and trust but rather privacy.

He's talking about gpg public keys not bitcoin ones. He's already figured it out according to the comments above.

To create a watch only wallet for your electrum cold wallet use the master public key not addresses. This way you'll see your entire wallet and have nearly unlimited addresses to give out to senders. See the guide for creating deterministic watch only wallets:

Multibit HD used to provide a date stamp with its seed mnemonic. You probably need to enter the correct derivation path in step 2b below:

https://bitcoinelectrum.com/restoring-your-multibithd-wallet-in-electrum/

m/0' is what you need to enter there.
12  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Recover BRD Wallet (BreadWallet) in Electrum on: February 06, 2025, 02:27:54 PM
m/0' is the correct derivation path not m/0'/0.

I checked myself that the m/0'/0 derivation worked ok for my case.


m/0' is the correct derivation path for use in electrum. electrum automatically derives external (receive) addresses at m/0'/0/i and internal i.e. change addresses at m/0'/1/i.

14  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: My BTC was stolen. Can someone clarify how it happened? on: January 22, 2025, 05:25:41 PM
Electrum had a bug in it which allowed malicious electrum servers to display popup messages in electrum. These messages directed users towards downloading electrum from fake electrum sites that served malware versions of electrum. So following links in the app was not a good idea at all. You should have manually typed in https://electrum.org into your browser and bookmarked the link. Following links from search engines is not a good idea either because malware authors advertise heavily in search results pages and their ads show up above legitimate search results.

bip39 option is for seeds generated by other wallet software not electrum. it should lead to an empty wallet in your case.

According to the YouTube video I watched with the link in my above post, it said it would lead to an empty wallet and it did. But my confusion is how to move it to the new empty wallet because in that video the youtuber said it could be moved. I got confused moving it. That is why am asking again if anybody understood the video better than I do.

No you can't move funds from the 2fa wallet to this wallet. You're barking up the wrong tree.

You need to restore the wallet as a 2fa wallet and not a standard wallet nor a bip39 one. To do this go to file >new/restore and enter a unique filename for your new wallet file. Then select "wallet with two factor authentication" > "I already have a seed". Enter your seed and in the subsequent steps you will be asked whether you want to enable or disable 2fa. Choose to disable it.

17  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Load and broadcast signed transaction in Android electrum on: January 19, 2025, 01:58:16 PM
You will have to load the transaction on a PC and then have it display the transaction as a qr code which you scan with android electrum. To load the transaction on a PC go to tools menu > load transaction > from file. Then in the window that appears click on share in the bottom left > show as QR code. On android electrum go to send and then tap scan. Scan the QR code and you'll get the option to sign and broadcast it.
18  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Stuck on Electrum withdrawal on: January 19, 2025, 01:53:34 PM
Instead of selecting standard wallet in the first step you have to select "wallet with two factor authentication". If you managed to restore it as a standard wallet then that means you used a seed for a standard single sig wallet not a 2fa wallet. Look for the seed for your 2fa wallet.
19  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Bitcoins from my Electrum wallet disappeared on: January 06, 2025, 12:08:07 PM
I just don't understand why the transaction details show 9.91605758 BTC
a81ea7ec8ebcdeb587cf970c6424bda7ce52df15f79c6bb3744851368b2161c6

The attacker compromised multiple wallets not just yours. He then swept all the coins from those different wallets in one transaction.
20  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to use a 24 words seed phrase in Electrum Android Version? on: January 03, 2025, 10:36:29 AM
You will need to use electrum on a pc or mac in order to generate a 24 word seed. Then you can restore from seed in android. So download electrum from electrum.org on a PC or mac and then go to view menu > check console. Switch to console tab and click on the warning to make it go away. Then paste in the following command there:

Code:
make_seed(nbits=256)

Press enter and it should spit out a 24 word seed.
