It actually works at last  Cool but damn i was lost a little,its very tricky and I think it will be hard for newbies to get,many newbies will be better off with the backup phrase instead

Have you try to use two ETH addresses in one wallet? What happens if you import the seed into another wallet? You will only get the first ETH address only ,the second will be missing .

Additional eth or BTC addresses will be all listed in the bottom of the page (iancoleman)
Maybe you will have to look for at different account number (there is a field there for it, 1, 2, etc under derivation path).
As I said, it will be painful for newbies to use this

It is also important to emphasize that it is not smart to play with private keys just like that, seed backup is quite enough and by exporting private keys it can be considered that this increases the risk of hacking your coins.

Agree.
And after you have done all that, your private keys are compromised. You should never again use that wallet, but create a new one with a new Seed.

This procedure should be done only to recover funds or forks, never just to "take a look at the private key".

I will like to help newbies that wants to get their coinomi private keys with ease by using iancoleman.io instead of relying only on backup phrases,this will make it easier for you to import to 100% of all available wallets instead of the (wallet selective backup phrases) you get from coinomi.


Using the Seed is better to recover funds than using private keys, because you may have tons of addresses in different derivation paths, different accounts, also change addresses, etc, which will make it hard for newbies to find all addresses with balances.

Kvalentine, you forgot one very important thing, that tool should be used only in offline mod, which would mean that it shuld be downloaded to the computer, and that your device should be 100% clean from virus / malware.

It is also important to emphasize that it is not smart to play with private keys just like that, seed backup is quite enough and by exporting private keys it can be considered that this increases the risk of hacking your coins.

This tool should be used only for educational purposes, or in case there is no other way to recover certain coin from seed.

I will like to help newbies that wants to get their coinomi private keys with ease by using iancoleman.io instead of relying only on backup phrases,this will make it easier for you to import to 100% of all available wallets instead of the (wallet selective backup phrases) you get from coinomi.

NOTE: make sure you are using https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and not the unsecured http://


Just follow my leads,open the website and insert your backup phrases like in the image below either 12 words,16 ,24 etc



Head to the COIN tab like in the image below and select the type of coin you needs its private key, bitcoin ,ETH ,litecoin,monero etc



And scroll down to derivation path and click on BIP32 since we are aiming for multi wallets like coinomi, now click on custom derivation path see image below to be sure you are doing the right thing.



You will get the options to chose the types of multi wallets you are coming from e.g



As you can see in the image above you have the option to select multiBitHD wallet,blockchain.info,bitcoin core or coinomi so click on coinomi

Now scroll down to derived addresses you should be able to see your wallet address and by the right side lies your private key just like in the image below



If you aren't getting the right address for your wallet you should leave the custom derivation path untouched and get your derivation path on your coinomi wallet and insert in the tab under custom derivation path like the image below



You can find your derivation path in your coinomi wallet account details,it will be in this format
Derivation path (BIP32)
M/44H/60H/0H

Full Attention Needed: what many don't get is you can't insert the derivation path you got from coinomi into the custom derivation path like that, you have to change the M/44H/60H/0H to m/44'/60'/0',that's how iancoleman will give you the right result and your exact wallet address,take note of the change, the H are change to '



This takes me hours to figure out back in the days when i so worried about my private keys of my ETH addresses instead of backup phrases.
There you have it,you can reply if you have any question and I will be glad to answer
