AFAIK, Bisq uses a derivation path of m/44'/0'/0' and since your addresses are legacy addresses, you should choose legacy(p2pkh) and click next. The wallet should load the addresses and display them.

Hello.

I had Bisq 0.65 installed on older computer (Windows 8.1) from December 2017. The last time when I turned on the program was be approx 19.february.2018.
In Bisq built-in wallet, I have some small money in Bitcoin currency.
In early december 2020, I tried to turn on old Bisq and this doesn't work, I copying old Bisq "data" files to a new downloaded Bisq but this does not work too.  Angry

I install new Bisq to second computer. I copy “tor” folder from new Bisq appdata\Bisq\btc_mainnet\ to old computer with Bisq 0.65. In old Bisq I deteled bisq.spvchain.
I run old Bisq. Old Bisq started but it doesn't work correctly (which of course) and old Bisq ask me for enter my program/wallet password... I typed password and Bisq accepted it.
In old Bisq I see status 0 BTC in wallet. Next, I decrypt wallet with my password.  Grin

I used ALT+J and I copy wallet info (to notepad) with informations as "seed as words" and "private keys".
In "wallet info" I see "address entry list" with 22 Bitcoin addresses, all adresses begin with a number "1"
My money in BTC currency is in the "last Bitcoin address in the order" (this address also begin with the number "1").
I check this address in Blockchain.com, funds are here.


I want to restore my wallet/funds in Electrum.
But I have problem.

I installed Electrum - I chose “New wallet” and “I alerdy have a seed” - check “BIP39 seed” and I wrote my "seed as words" in field.
Bud next step Electrum ask me for three questions I don't know what to choose:

1. Detect Existing Accounts.
OR
2. Type addresses in your wallet.
3. Derivation path.
