Your derivation paths are wrong. MultiBit uses BIP 44 for derivation paths, not the normal BIP 32 derivation paths. It should be m/44'/0'/0'/k/i

In your original MultiBit wallet, go to Tools > Repair Wallet (or something like that) and see if that works.

Not even trying that.

Here is a example pay attention:

I just created a new wallet using Multibit HD, then I created one and ONLY one bitcoin address which is:
1EzCCawrCJf33TzwAhEY4ffUBABSACk5cz

Multibit HD 12 words seen:
minor betray indicate trouble busy tragic easy diesel gravity window peasant satisfy

Now, if you go to the site and try yourself. It will provide you a lots of BTC address but how is that possible? If there is only ONE btc address linked to that wallet.

The site is not accurate. My coins still locked in Multibit and repairing or switching computers wont work. I also sent a message to the developers but I dunno they will care.

Multibit HD can use your 12 wallet words to generate an unlimited number of addresses.

I tested recovering your address 1EzCCawrCJf33TzwAhEY4ffUBABSACk5cz using the wallet words in that webpage. It was at the top of the list the webpage generated. If you had used multibit to generate more than one address it should have generated the same ones listed below that I copied from that webpage.

Using m/0'/0 the page generated these addresses.

1EzCCawrCJf33TzwAhEY4ffUBABSACk5cz

1EsFnXZAkTwVKw2igqaQ13mgM8y5NQdp3x
18w26GebKe6TgNTLm5NzhgKowbdqYurQYj

Using m/0'/1 the page generated these addresses.

Yes I did, it still gives me random addresses that are not linked with my main wallet, I invite you to try yourself.

I just made a test wallet with 3 BTC address and it still provides me +1k even more...

How is that possible?

I don't know what the problem is, that webpage worked for me when I tested it with a multibit HD seed.

What do you mean by "it still provides me +1k even more"?

I'm doing this now but Electrum is synchronizing all the private keys and its taking too long, here is a picture:

Is it normal ?

I can't see the picture, the bitcointalk image proxy says it's invalid.

Try this

I've now succeed putting all my priv keys into electrum and it just has not recovered not even a cent of my money stuck.

Any ideas?

At the bottom of that webpage there is a textbox marked "Show more rows:". You could try increasing the number of rows it shows until none of the addresses it shows have made any transactions.

Thank you for the fast replies again.

I have tried the "Show more rows" option it just keep providing addresses that are not mine. Also I wanted to test it myself and I just went ahead and made a new Multibit HD wallet with 5 addresses. I went to the page and put all the seed and stuff. And it provides me unlimited BTC addresses that are not linked to that wallet.

Did you click the BIP32 Derivation tab before you entered m/0'/0 or m/0'/1?

You need to click the tab before you enter m/0'/0 or m/0'/1.

If you didn't click the tab the webpage will look like this.

If you clicked the tab the webpage will look like this.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

I go to: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/

Then I put "Supply my own source of entropy"
Mnemonic Length: Use raw entropy 3 words per 32 bits
Entropy: I put my 12 words from multibit seed
Derivation Path: I click on BIP32
BIP32 Derivation Path: m/0'/0 and tried also m/0'/1

Then it provides me with BTC addresses but none of them are mine, checked them all

Is there any other site like this that I could try or did I something wrong?

Thank you for the help.

Don't check "Supply my own source of entropy".

Put your 12 words from multibit seed into the text box marked "BIP39 Mnemonic".

Click the BIP32 Derivation Path tab and try m/0'/0 and also m/0'/1 again.

Now its giving me addresses and after trying for about 1 hour I only recovered $40 with the private key. This will take me years to verify each address as this wallet is SO long , and multibit HD provided me a new address for each new payment.

Is there any way to resolve my client again?

Which are you importing your private keys into?

If you use electrum you can import them all in one go. You don't have to import them separately, you can import a list of them.

Quote from: HI-TEC99 on December 30, 2016, 11:34:32 AM

Download electrum 2.6.4 portable from here (because the latest 2.7 versions are buggy).

https://download.electrum.org/2.6.4/electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe

Create a new folder and copy electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe into it, then double click it to start the wallet.

An install wizard window should open. At the top of it select the "Restore a wallet or import keys" option, then click the "next" button.

Another window will open with a box in it that you can type your list of private keys into.

After that click the "next" button and another series of windows should open. Leave each window's settings as they are and click the "next" button in each one until the wallet opens.

You can leave the password boxes blank, the electrum wallet can work without a password, and its password is not the same as your multibit wallet's password.

When the wallet opens it should sync within minutes and show your Bitcoins. You can use it to send them wherever you like.

I've used Multibit for 1 year, always had to sync/reset the wallet at least twice a day because funds went to pending everytime.

Today it just went to pending balance again so I just did the same (reset + waiting till it sync the wallet) but its been stopped in the process of syncing and won't continue.

I went to my other computer and tried the same and stopped the process too. Now I have my funds stuck in that client and I don't know what to do.

Things I've tried so far:

- Changing IP
- Changing computers
- Trying previous Multibit versions and restoring it
- Deleted the %appdata% multibit folder

Here is a picture when it just get stuck and wont restore the wallet

I need help to save my funds as there is around $4000 BTC worth.

Any helps or suggestions?

I posted some solutions to a similar problem in this post.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17773212

Tried them all and nothing new, I've spent 8 hours googling yesterday. I regret that I choose using Multibit I swear. Too much money stuck.

Also, this page: https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/
I provide my 12 words seed and it provides me with a list of public and private addresses but none of them are mine, and all has 0 BTC.

Need this fixed...

Did you try putting the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box?

m/0'/0

Did you also try putting the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box to check if your Bitcoins are in change addresses?

m/0'/1

If you have used Multibit for 1 year it's likely you made at least one transaction. After any transaction multibit HD might have sent your remaining Bitcoins to a change address.
