It looks like I accepted the transaction on a bc wallet so native segwit (p2wpkh). But when I open the transaction , there are very many outputs. Almost 200. Is this normal ?
If you are referring to transaction history, it is normal. If you are referring to a coin received and with many outputs, likely the person that sent you the coin used an exchange to send it. All are normal.

Electrum only supports bitcoin. So this is about bitcoin.

Which character is your address starts with? If it starts with 1, you will need to change the derivation path to legacy (p2pkh). If it starts with 3, change the derivational path to wrapped segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh). You will change it after you have specify the wallet as BIP39 and also input the seed phrase. If it is bc1 that the address starts with, it is native segwit (p2wpkh) which is the default.

Hope you specify the wallet as BIP39? Make sure you do it.

Or you can use Bluewallet instead.

Restoring your wallet with the seed should have worked, but since you've already tried it, it's strange that it's still empty. I used to use MyCelium, but I had many synchronization issues, so I switched to Electrum for better storage. With MyCelium, I often couldn't see my full balance, which was frustrating.

It's possible that the seed is correct, but you might be experiencing synchronization problems. Have you tried clearing the MyCelium app's data? If you're sure the seed is correct, try reinstalling MyCelium on your device and importing the seed again. It might be a bug or issue with the app that's causing it to freeze when you enter your PIN.

The seedphrase should be all you need. If you're sure about the wallet containing funds, then you should be fine. There is no need to root the device or try to recover the wallet.

Mycelium uses BIP39 which is what every single nowdays uses. For Electrum, you would just need to select BIP39 when trying to restore it.

Now, given that you already restored the wallet, but you found them empty... it could be related to derivation path. So, what you can do first of all, is try to see if those "empty wallets" have the same addresses that you used to have or received funds to in Mycelium (if possible).

Hello, everybody! I'm getting desperate , that's why I came here for help.
I have been constantly troubleshooting my MyCelium wallet since Thursday. I've been using this wallet for many years , and leaving out the IOS version , I've never had any major problems. Last week I was creating a new wallet. I set up recovery and wrote down my seeds. I received a larger amount on the wallet that I wanted to move to another wallet. Well, there was a problem. It required a MyCelium PIN for the transaction. I always use the same PIN combination. I might have made a couple of mistakes , but it's definitely one of my usual PINs. Then what happened was that the MyCelium app stops working after entering any PIN. Then it reopens and stops working again after entering the PIN. So I said okey, let's do it differently. Now that's another problem. I wanted to restore the wallet in the Electrum app since it offers wider recovery options. It succeeded, but the wallet is empty. Respectively the seeds I enter are correct , because Electrum gives an error when the seed is incorrect. But when I click ''detect existing account'' it doesn't find anything.
I've also tried to recover my wallet through other apps such as Exodus. I used the same seeds as they were for MyCelium. Again, only an empty wallet was restored. I sent a small amount there.  After a few more recovery attempts what happened was that Electrum loaded the Exodus wallet where the same Seeds were used as they were originally for MyCelium. It loaded that wallet correctly. Another option I considered , was to root my device to be able to retrieve the wallet text file via ADB where the PIN should be written. Failed , since I am not using a regular Android but Custom Rom CalyxOS. After the root, the device totally locked up and I couldn't do anything anymore. But I managed to finally fix the device and I can see my MyCelium wallet on my device again with the balance. But after entering the PIN it freezes again. MyCelium support is not responding to me. Does anyone have any idea , how I could save my funds?

Thank you for any advice !
Regards,
Martin
