Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet

[birr]

When I send from an HD address, how does Mycelium select which addresses to send from?

Actually I would like to know whether I can influence which address is used by choosing a particular amount to transmit. For example, if I choose to send the exact amount of one of my addresses, will Mycelium then empty that address? How about the fee in this scenario? This would amount to some kind of indirect coin control. Would be nice to have.

HCP explained why that would be hard to do, with Mycelium lacking coin control
I think if you want to empty a particular address in your HD wallet, you should get the private key of that address and import it into a different wallet:  a single-address wallet, not HD.  Then you can send the coins from that address and that address alone.  You could try using a Mycelium legacy address.  It would probably work.
I haven't done it, so I'm not sure what's the easiest way to get the private key from an address in the Mycelium HD.  If Mycelium HD doesn't show the private keys of individual HD addresses, then you will have to use an external utility that generates series of HD addresses from seed.
Here's an example of such a uility:
https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/
of course, you can't do that online with any expectation of safety, so you would have to save the web page and run it offline, or better yet download the code from github and check the pgp signature.
It's been a long time since I fiddled with this stuff.  I seem to remember there are two kinds of address in the HD wallet, receive addresses (which receive external funds) versus "change" addresses, in which you receive funds from yourself.

Thanks for the good answers! I think I understand the problem a bit better now.

In a normal HD wallet, after normal use, does each address not have exactly one UTXO?

Using mycelium from quite some time now and I feel it is secured compared to other Android wallets. But what about Bitcoin Cash after segwit. Do you have any plan on supporting it or nothing.?

does it matter? send your bitcoins to a new account and then use the mycelium seed somewhere else to claim the bcash.

Is it possible to use mycelium seed in electrum wallet to get BCC?

Is it possible to use mycelium seed in electrum wallet to get BCC?

Only if you use the "Electron cash" wallet... as Electrum DOES NOT support BCC and Electrum dev does not support nor endorse ElectronCash wallet

When you create the wallet in "Electron", you will need to click the "Options" button when you enter your seed and specify that it is a BIP39 seed.

Is this wallet actually trustworthy? I have been doing some research, and I found that earlier this year a member of the team used some ICO funds for vacations. And there is this project, Mass Network. I followed it for sometime but lost interest. However I remembered it today and took a look at the bitcointalk thread and looks like it was a scam. And they have Alexander Kuzmin as CEO, Maria Brown, Jerome Rousselot and Sergey Dolgopolov as the team members. Maybe they were lies from Mass Network project, but I don't know, looks like they were indeed involved. What do you guys think? Here is the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1598276.1200 and web page https://mass.network/team.html

Thank you for that. Got confused with something but all clear now. Need to find a different device for electron cash, I hope it is trustworthy.

Can someone post a simple method on how to make this BCC claim?

Thanks

I've been using it for a couple of years now,  and it's just fine IMO.  Don't think whatever the CEO did with his vacation is going to change that.

i'm getting a weird bug with this. my last two txs into the wallet are now showing up as unconfirmed in mycelium when they arrived fine yesterday and have tens of confirmations. i don't know if they're now spendable or not. anyone else getting this?

[tiggytomb]

It would be really cool if Mycelium would do something similar to what Breadwallet is doing https://breadwallet.com/blog/breadwallet-plan-bitcoin-cash-bch/ what do you think?

I had a similar bug earlier when sending, they were all confirmed but then showed up as not confirmed but in reality they were confirmed.  It sorted itself out after 30 mins or so.

Meh... if BCH becomes anything, plenty of wallets will support it.

I know JAXX is working on an update now. They supported ETC and ETH pretty much from the split.

Why has Mycelium Marketplace said No Server Connection, spinning the Searching indicator for days, through restart after restart?

Thanks for the answer. This wallet looks dope, butI will be cautious anyways.

The spy organizations would have a field day if every bitcoin user combined all their holdings into one address. That is exactly what the invention of the HD wallet aimed at preventing.

The result is that all addresses of every involved HD wallet would be associated, for everybody to see in the BCH blockchain. Since these are the same addresses and the same amounts as in the bitcoin blockchain, this residual bit of privacy would be gone.

Yes, I'm getting this for a few days now. Incoming transaction from 31st that was already confirmed is showing like incoming two or three times in a day, every day since then. But I have this balance in the wallet, everything is ok, but this "incoming" transaction keeps arriving all the time. This is very weird to me, don't know what is this happening and if that could influence negative on my balance.

I never thought of this, a very valid point, makes me look at BCH in a very different light and if it is even worth the risk trying to collect pennies.

I'm going to guess that Mycelium is using BIP39? Send your bitcoins to another wallet just to make sure they are safe and then use the seed from Mycelium inside ElectrumCash (or any other BCH wallet that allow that) and you should be good to go.
