Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet

[hgmichna]

And now I can no longer send any transcations. wallet connected to internet and still give me error "Wallet out of sync" . I have to move my coins to better wallet. Anybody knows of other wallet accept mycylium 12 seed words ?

Coinomi works for me, but I would still recommend to retry Mycelium. Perhaps tapping the sync button, the two circling arrows, helps. Mycelium works well for me also.

Mycelium is hard to beat.

I did tried tapping the sync button , even restart and use a new phone to restore still getting same error message out of sync. Does electrum support restore mycelium 12 seeds ?

I am almost sure that they do support the same seed as Mycelium.

But remember that you will have to tick the option "BIP39 Seed" while restoring your seed on Electrum to get it to work.

The first word in the bip39 word list is "abandon."  It has 2048 words.  Mycelium uses this word list.
I don't use electrum, but I think the following is true:
The first word in the electrum word list is "abbey."  It has 1626 words.

To the best of my knowledge, Electrum and Mycelium use different word lists.  If that's true, then the walllets' seeds are not compatible.

Can a knowledgeable Electrum user make an authoritative statement regarding that wallet's seeds and word list?

Thank you for sharing this information to us. Nice to know the difference between the two. Your argument is valid and i would like to know the answer as well on this. I will wait for Electrum user or any Mycelium user that have experience on this.

You should be able to restore your Mycelium using Electrum just fine, on the page where you type the words, click the options and check the BIP39 option:



I'm not sure If they have any other wordlist but the current one actually start with 'abandon' and has 2048 words: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/wordlist/english.txt

[hgmichna]

The relevant standard for the seed backup words, over and above BIP39, is BIP44.

Wallets that are BIP44-conformant should properly recognize each other's seed backups.

What version of Electrum are you looking at?

The current (English) word list is 2048 words... And I'm fairly sure it's the same as the BIP39 word list: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/wordlist/english.txt

Having said that, Electrum uses a different algorithm for calculating the seed from the words... So an Electrum seed phrase most probably won't be useable with other wallets. Electrum however is able to import BIP39 seed words by ticking the "BIP39 seed" box during import (as per the post above)

Also, as of v2.9.2, Electrum supports custom derivation paths for BIP39 imports, so it is able to import from pretty much any BIP39 wallet

[Millionero]

Okay, guess I must have been confused.  I have a couple of spreadsheets saved of the word lists, one of them is titled bip39 and has the 2048 word list.  The other spreadsheet is labeled electrum/monero and has the 1626 word list.  I think I was right about monero using the 1626 word list, but wrong about electrum using it.  I don't know where I got the idea that electrum and monero use the same word list.

Yes, you can use the Mycelium seed in Electrum. You just have to click on bip39 seed, bip39 basically lets you use your own words.

Works fine, I've done it.

I am a long time user of Mycelium - I love this wallet <3 ... Well done

However, today I tried for the first time Mycelium for iOS.... wtf  
How come is the current version for iOS back in the stone age compared to the current version for Andriod?

The wallet got last updated on 11th January on AppStore and the version is 1.11, the development is far from being active when it comes to iOS version. I believe they simply made it because there was a lot of request as not everyone use Android, gave it basic functionalities and left it.

Breadwallet is probably a better, and more secure choice for iOS.

Mycelium is my mobile wallet but Im also using exodus, coinomi and ledger wallet.

Has anybody here recently used Coinapult in Mycelium? I had used it successfully some time ago, but a friend of mine recently transferred bitcoins, but got nothing. The bitcoins just disappeared, no dollars appeared. He waited a week---nothing.

On Sunday he wrote them an email and got a friendly, but automatic email back, stating that they would reply again within 24 hours, which they haven't done. I am waiting for his next information.

It would be helpful to know whether Coinapult has worked well for others or whether there have been similar problems already.

Tried it back in June:

I wanted to test the Coinapult integrated option (mycelium for android), sent ~£40 worth, went through OK, but when tried to withdraw it seems stuck. It's been entire day and still zero confirmation.

It's transfer from Coinapult so I don't have any blockchain tx information, so can't check what was the fee or whether the transaction have actually been initiated. All I got is Coinapult debug log.

Anyone have any experience with using Coinapult account, how long does it usually take for withdrawals to be processed?

Edit: tx cleared shortly after I posted the above.

Definitely something went wrong in your case. Deposit/conversion to fiat should be instant.

Is it possible to import into mycellium wallet ledger segwit account?

Also, is there any roadmap for mycellium to be seen somewhere?

[hgmichna]

It wasn't instant when I used it a few years ago. Worked only during office hours in Panama, and even then not instantly.

The good news are that my friend kept sending emails to Coinapult support, and they finally gave him his $$ back.

It was still strange, because he suddenly had a second Coinapult account in Mycelium, where the money was.

The system is obviously broken, and I can no longer recommend Coinapult. It would be very nice, if it worked speedily and reliably, but it didn't in this case. Instead it showed an indication that the system is defective.

I have a transaction that was completed by my side and the website that used automated payment via gear.mycelium is not adding funds and mycelium was not able to detect the transaction but all the transactions were confirmed.

Kindly let me know how can I contact gear.mycelium to solve this issue because it seems like an scam.
As the amount is still not spent and is on mycelium generated address I want mycelium to reverse those transactions.

How do I proceed?

Please describe more precisely what you have done. What is "gear.mycelium"?

Generally bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. If you sent bitcoins to another address, only the owner of that address can send them back to you voluntarily.
