I did and it restores my non stealth addresses perfectly using the m/44/0'/0 path but I can't seem to find how to restore the stealth addresses. I was able to find out the public address associated with this my stealth address:  vJmtK3LT44vwTFfdiCEV5Di7yaWBXot3RwDs98Rp96iVJUX6Nw66gDLPw3MTthHoqyqrmBqzsdfWBgy zirAfGQGbnL5tBbkJcPwJa, which is this: 127gF6Hs6eLyLDjySajD8gwJ7MANnGUrPx but I don't know how to find the private key
do you have any balance in the wallet and an address of it? that address is empty 
have you tried restoring it thru the wallet client or browser plugin?

The seed is the only thing you need to restore a wallet.
I have never used darkwallet, so i can't give you a detailed path to restore your wallet.

But isn't it possible to create a new wallet using the old seed? And afterwards either sending your coins to a new address or exporting the private key?
I don't know how darkwallet derives keys from a seed. Might be worth checking their github.



Bitcoin doesn't have "stealth address (es)"

import your seed phrase into a compatible wallet with the correct derivation path and it will generate your private key & address too.

He is talking about the Darkwallet for bitcoin.
I am not sure whether this wallet supports BIP32 (HD wallets) or BIP39 (mnemonic seed).


@OP: Does your seed consist of 12/18/24 words? Or does it look like a random string? (Do not expose your seed to anyone!)

I guess you joined bitcoin late, read about it. Dark wallet had stealth addresses and this is an example of one of the addresses I had

I stand corrected then.

However for any coin the process is the same: import your seed phrase into a compatible wallet with the correct derivation path and it will generate your private key & address too.

Edit: OP, you can export the private keys by restoring a wallet with your 12-word seed, then click 'Settings --> Tools --> Export Private Keys'.
