Electrum has been a deterministic wallet from the very start. It adopted the bip32 standard starting with version 2.0 I believe. So yeah it is HD.

It is opensource

You can run it on testnet with the --testnet command line switch

It supports multisig too.



HI, thanks for Response. I am more interested in running electrum on test-net, but unable to find any clear doc on that. Can you explain, How to use test-net in detail? I have openned a new discussion on this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18756326.

I have explained above how you can use electrum with testnet. You run it with the --testnet command line switch:

Code:
electrum --testnet

Run `electrum help` to see more options. If you are using windows then command line switches are typed in a terminal window.

In future try and read the answers you are given. Otherwise there is no point in you asking questions and us answering them.

To answer the question regarding the HD wallet, yes, Electrum is an HD wallet. There are different types of HD wallets though, read more details: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet

I have heard a lot about Electrum-wallet, but have never used it. I have few question regarding Electrum mind, does electrum have following properties?
  • Is Electrum open source?
  • Does electrum support Hd_wallet
  • Does elctrum support Restest or Test Network?
  • Is Electrum MultiSig?
Is there any other wallet that has above features? I think copay has all features but I am not sure about electrum.

  • Yes, Electrum is open source: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum
  • As of Electrum 2.7.16, it looks like it supports testnet

    # Release 2.7.16
      * add Testnet support (fix #541)
  • Electrum supports MultiSig wallets.
