Topic: Having trouble getting electrum to open cold coin skeleton wallet (Read 106 times)
Launch Electurm normally, not in testnet, and open the wallet file again. The cold coin wallet is using a p2wpkh mainnet master public key (i.e. version 0x04b24746), but this is not recognized on testnet.

Hi All,
I'm setting up my new cold coin wallet (awesome product) and have had no problem up to the step of syncing it with off line Electrum wallet.
1) I created on cold card an Electrum wallet on the micro sd card, following instructions I think.
2) I put the sd wallet in the pc, and can see the wallet etc.
3) I install Electrum from verified install file, and open the testnet version of Electrum.
4) I attempt to open the wallet file from cold card and get an error message
"Cannot load wallet invalid extended key format " etc.....

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong or how to get past this stopper?
Many thanks in advance.
