Migration from Multibit HD to Electrum

Use breadwallet on mobile or you have to manually or otherwise extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD wallet/seed... 

Automated (but technical) method requiring use of python scripts: https://github.com/HardCorePawn/multibit_recovery


Manual method:
- Create offline version of https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/- Put in your MultiBit HD seed
- Set Derivation Path -> BIP32
- Set Client = "MultiBit HD"
- Copy all the address/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)
- Set Client = "Custom" -> Set Derivation Path = m/0'/1
- Copy all the change addresses/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)


Once you have all your private keys:
- In Electrum -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Create a new seed
- Once wallet is created, "Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep"
- Paste in all the private keys you got from automated or manual method
You should now have all your coins in an Electrum HD Wallet.
