Is there any bitcoin wallet i can migrate to using my electrum seed?

I've tried multibit hd but the electrum seeds is not in good format.

I don't think you can exactly use the seeds to migrate.You can try sweeping them instead.Why you need to migrate though ? Electrum is better than multibit in many aspects in terms of user friendliness.

Sweeping private keys means to send all the bitcoins they control to an existing address in your wallet. The private keys you sweep do not become a part of your wallet. Instead, all the bitcoins they control are sent to an address that has been deterministically generated from your wallet seed.

To sweep private keys go to Wallet menu -> Private Keys -> Sweep. Enter the private keys in the appropriate field. Leave the ‘Address’ field unchanged. That is the destination address and it’ll be from your existing electrum wallet.

i just need to migrate to recover some lost bitcoins as many addresses were generated and they don't apear on my electrum wallet.

i had same problem with mycelium android wallet and i migrated to multibit hd by using the mycelium seed and it worked ! but with electrum i'm still stuck.

Electrum seeds are only for use on Electrum AFAIK.

Electrum has a gap limit that pre-generates address till 20 unused addresses are found. I suspect that this would be the main problem you are facing. To generate more address from the seed, use

Code:

wallet.create_new_address()

in your console.
