Multibit wallet problem

[232drialf]

Hi guys,

I am facing a problem in the last days, the point is that i know my password but it is not working. Another fact is that i am having the 16 words pass to recover but it stays on working for a life time and nothing happens. What should  I do ?

Thanks..

Try this workaround. I had the same issue a while back.

I successfully tried generating a wallet in multibit HD and retrieving its extended private key using an offline copy of the webpage linked below.

https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/

Once you have the extended private key you can use it to get your Bitcoins back by importing it into a blockchain.info wallet. The page also shows a list of private keys for each address in an HD wallet,  and you can import them into electrum or some other wallet to access your Bitcoins.

To use the webpage right click the link and choose save as , then press enter.

Open it offline in your browser, then click the BIP32 tab below the big Derivation Path heading.

Put the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box.

m/0'/0

Type your password seed into the BIP39 Mnemonic box.

The page should automatically generate your extended private key and a list of receiving addresses  for your wallet.

If your Bitcoins are in a change address then repeat the steps above, but type the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box.

m/0'/1 

The page should show you all your change addresses with their private keys.

If aren't sure if that webpage is trustworthy it was recommended by a respected member of bitcointalk called dooglus who's a clamcoin dev, and runs a well known dice site. This is the post which he recommended it in.

You can also scan it at the virus scanner link below to check if it's safe.

The only reason I said to run it offline was to be extra safe. It's possible to use it online. but less secure.

i am having the private keys, the website worked. i used it offline and it is a really good idea but i can't find the button where to put them in blockchain.info , at me it doesn't show import when i go to settings/addresses

i will try to add them to an electrum wallet

You can import the private keys to whatever wallet you want. It doesn't need to be the Blockchain one necessarily. Just sweep everything to a new wallet

I usually recommend importing or sweeping them into electrum. I can't remember why I suggested blockchain.info in that particular post. Later on in the same thread I recommended electrum.

If you sweep them into electrum you have to make a transaction and pay the relevant fees, but afterwards you only need to back up your wallet's seed words. If you import them you have to either back up the wallet file itself, or back up the private keys.

These are the import/sweep instructions from electrum's documentation.

Well one thing is that do not allow anymore to send to more than one address. The point is I just was able to install electrum on a virtual machine. I didn't understood why i couldn't import my private keys. It sucks, it really sucked.

Thank you for your help.I wasn't expected this website to actually work: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ - i recomand with pleasure!

Problem solved!
