OK great thanks I got the Transaction to go into my Electrum Balance. In the History part of Electrum its showing as not verified... ? But my Balance is correct for the transaction.

You will need to wait for the transaction to confirm.

OK I have found the correct private key transaction it sweeps on electrum and gives the transaction details then what is it BROADCAST COPY OR SAVE ?

Click Broadcast. That will broadcast the transaction to the network so that it can be confirmed.

OK so from the offline https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39

I have generated a BIP32 Extended Private Key and a BIP32 Extended Public Key.

Also it has generated a number of DERIVED addresses from the Multi BIT HD wallet I see the first address was the address I used to send my 0.1 bitcoin from my classic wallet to my multibit HD wallet. There are alot of other address's and private and public keys with them.

Which of these private keys can I import etc into Electrum ? downloading the Electrum wallet now.

Mark

You can import all of the ones you see, but if you had only used one address, just import the private key for that address. Also, you should be sweeping the address, not importing. When you make the Electrum wallet, make a standard wallet from scratch. Then go to Wallet > Private Keys > Sweep and enter the private keys that you want the Bitcoin from. This will make a transaction sending the Bitcoin from those keys to addresses in your new Electrum wallet.

I have created the standard Electrum Wallet, I am going to Wallet and Private Keys and SWEEP. When I enter the private key for the Mutibit HD address that I sent the 0.1 Bitcoin to, I get the message on Electrum NO INPUTS FOUND (NOTE THAT INPUTS NEED TO BE CONFIRMED)

Ok so https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ will generate a private key from the multibit HD Words, that I can then import into electrum.

Yes. You will need to enter your wallet words into the BIP39 Mnemonic box. Then scroll down and choose the BIP 32 tab. Then in the dropdown for Client, choose MultiBit HD. You should then see the addresses and private keys that you used from your multibit hd wallet.

Also, don't use the website directly. Instead, download it from github: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 and then open the src/index.html file in your browser. You can use it from there and it will be all offline.

Extract the private key from MultiBit HD.

That's very hard to do since MultBit HD does not provide any private key extraction utilities.

To do so requires using this site: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ (download the source code and run locally of course) to derive the private keys used by MultiBit from the MultiBit wallet words.

Ok Fair Enough Electrum it is. How could I reciver the 0.1 Bitcoin sent to the Multibit HD Wallet.

Extract the private key from MultiBit HD.

Sweep it into Electrum. (or temporarily import it into some mobile wallet such as Mycelium and then send it to Electrum)

You should probably choose something else for a wallet instead of MultiBit.

KeepKey announced that they were no longer supporting MultiBit and were abandoning the project:
https://multibit.org/blog/2017/07/26/multibit-shutdown.html

Perhaps consider Electrum?

Hi I downloaded MULTI BIT HD installed it and created a wallet. It has never connected to the Network, Ive tried a few basic things with Firewall and Anti Virus I.e turning them off adding Multibit as an accepted program through the firewall etc.

Ive read about PORT 8333 My Router is a AMG1302-T11C POST OFFICE BROADBAND which offers terrible speeds in the evening could this be a problem ?

I had an old MULTIBIT CLASSIC WALLET which is fine but I wanted to update to HD I sent 0.1 of my coins to my new HD wallet from my old Classic wallet so I would need the HD wallet to connect to something Wink

in order to get access to that 0.1.

Does anyone have a solution to get my MULTIBIT HD wallet to connect advice would be great.
