I do come across wrong information too on other board of this forum and I wish a thread can also be specifically created where user can report members who are steadily passing wrong and misleading information to readers.
@OP, I like the idea of this your topic. I don't contribute yet on the technical board because I don't know much about Bitcoin technical and I am still learning from the technical boardboard, until I have a good knowledge about technical related issues, that is when I can comfortably make comment there.
It is better to keep mute or ask questions when someone don't have any knowledge about what is being discussed else they will just give wrong information.
Yeah, wrong information happens on all boards. But on technical board it's especially worse since there's expectation people know what they're talking about.
This user continue to spread false/fake information.
Electrum primarily supports Bitcoin. If your friend is dealing with a different cryptocurrency, they should check whether Electrum supports that specific coin. Importing private keys or seed phrases comes with security considerations. Make sure your friend understands the risks and takes appropriate measures to keep their private information secure. o import cryptocurrency into Electrum, your friend will need the private keys or seed phrase associated with their wallet. Ensure they have the necessary information before attempting any import. Electrum itself doesn't charge fees for importing funds, keep in mind that the blockchain network may charge transaction fees. These fees are usually variable and depend on network congestion and transaction urgency.
1. Electrum only support Bitcoin.
2. While there are Electrum fork which support altcoin, usually it have different name. For example, Electrum-LTC or Electron Cash (for BCH coin).
3. Import private key doesn't create new Bitcoin transaction, so there's no point mentioning TX fees. It's only relevant if he's talking about sweep private key.
4. It doesn't really answer OP's question.
During the wallet creation process, you may have the option to set up a BIP39 passphrase. This is an additional word or phrase that acts as an extra layer of security.
If you choose to set up a passphrase, make sure to remember it or store it securely.
This reply created for thread about Electrum, where Electrum doesn't create BIP39 words but rather Electrum Seed Version System (
