and on mycellium they are all on different accounts, do you know how i create a specific wallet for the right account? i figured it had to do with pathing it but i'm not sure how to make electrum pull up the account that had my bitcoin in it instead of the default one that was created automatically when i first signed up for blockchain.info

Ahhhh ok... yeah, I see what has happened... you've created multiple wallets inside your b.info wallet right? That's easy enough to work around...

When you import your seed into Electrum, and select "BIP39 seed" from options... it gives a default derivation path of m/44'/0'/0' - That is for your first b.info wallet... the others will be:
- m/44'/0'/1'
- m/44'/0'/2'
- m/44'/0'/3' ... etc etc...

Electrum doesn't support multiple accounts in a single wallet... so you'll need to create a new wallet for each of the "accounts" that you have in b.info...

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you see all your transaction History in Electrum tho? is the balance correct?

In Electrum... on the "Addresses" tab (Wallet -> Addresses), have you expanded both the "Change" section and the "Used" sections? (click the '>' symbol so it becomes a 'V' symbol)...

In Mycelium, are your addresses all in the same "account"? or are they in different "accounts"??:

Do you get Account 1 and Account 2 etc? or only 1 HD account? If they're in different accounts, to see them all in Electrum, you need to create a different wallet for each account...

I looked at the addresses tab and all recieved changed seem to be old ones for that address i don't see any of the ones i used the day before split when i sent my coins into it... and on mycellium they are all on different accounts, do you know how i create a specific wallet for the right account? i figured it had to do with pathing it but i'm not sure how to make electrum pull up the account that had my bitcoin in it instead of the default one that was created automatically when i first signed up for blockchain.info

late edit responding to this "when you import the BIP39 seed and it asks for an account number, 0 = MyceliumAccount1, 1 = MyceliumAccount2 etc etc"

i am able to import the seed into mycellium and see all the addresses on my blockchain.info account without issue but only when i import it on electrum or electron cash i can only see the transactions and balance for the default address on the wallet

The only other reason I can think of that they don't show... would be the gap limit issue

I can get the pub key for the address that had my coin on mycellium but it doesn't show the private key.. i don't understand why the seed with mycellium shows all my addresses but electrum can only see the default first address for my blockchain.info wallet Sad

the pub key is not going to help you...
and the issue is probably with the derivation path. but if you have the xpriv.... then it won't matter anymore.
you can play around with the iancoleman tool i introduced you to see the difference. it lists the addresses at the bottom of the page.

when importing seed the wallet should generate all your addresses the same way. it is strange that you are getting only one and not the others!.
in mycellium try to see if you can get the individual private keys out. key starting with K or L and then import that into electron cash individually instead of your seed.
or try to see if you can find the "master private key" or it may be called "extended private key". that would be a long string starting with "xpriv". then import that into your electron cash.

if none of them worked then use https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39 take a copy and use it offline. read the "Usage" part.
at the middle of the page it is called "BIP32 Extended Private Key" use that to import in your electron cash.

Hello everyone, I am trying to import my blockchain.info wallet to electron cash using bip39 seed so I can get my BCC but I am having some issues and hoping some of you can shed light..... I first tried to restore my wallet on normal electrum client and I noticed when I enter the seed and import on electrum it only shows the balance for the first address i created on blockchain.info, my wallet on blockchain.info has multiple addresses and the first one wasn't the one that had my coins in it during the fork so its useless if I restore this one on electron cash... I'm now wondering if there is there a way to specificity which address I want to import within electron cash? I was able to import my seed to mycellium and select the address that had my coin in it but i don't know how to do this on electron cash or electrum.
