Master Seed

[Wandering Soul~]

Is it possible to import mycelium's master seed on a particular desktop wallet? (preferably a reputable one) . I tried doing it on electrum just to test my luck but it didn't work as expected . I already searched on google but didn't find any solution to this .

And I'm also thinking what are the odds of using an android simulator like bluestacks? Is it secured?

I just tried it also just now (importing my mycelium wallet's master seed to my electrum desktop wallet ) but it shows with different wallet addresses. So I tried to import my mycelium's private keys, only from mycelium to electrum and it works, though it's not related to your question.

And I'm also thinking what are the odds of using an android simulator like bluestacks? Is it secured?

I will not give my trust this third party apps to use with bitcoin wallets if I were you.

The trick to importing a Mycelium seed into Electrum is that when you  have the dialog window that lets you enter the seed in, you need to click "options" and then tick "BIP39 seed" (as Electrum uses a custom seed algorithm by default that isn't 100% BIP39  compatible)



I can confirm that this works... as I've personally done it

note: you will only be able to access the first account from the Mycelium wallet this way... if you have other accounts, you would need to do the convert mnemonic to private key method following the correct derivation paths using a tool like: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/

Thanks, Worked like magic tho unfortunately I'm using a second account . I tried using the tool you gave but it only allows me to see a private key per address . It can be a pain since I have a bunch of address . Do you have any ways to access all of it in one go?

EDIT: Decided to just transfer my funds to the first account . The transaction is batched because of the addresses, I pay the usual fee .
