7 years ago If you still have your wallet seed words you can generate your private keys and sweep your coins into an electrum wallet using the following instructions, credit to servpol.
- Get yourself an Electrum wallet, this is where we'll be transfering your bitcoins to.
- Go to https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ and generate the private keys Multibit once made automatically for your wallet using your seed words.
You'll need the Private keys (copy the first several hundred or so) with BIP32 Derivation Path m/0'/0 (Standard "Multibit") for the normal addresses and you'll need the Private Keys made with BIP32 Derivation Path m/0'/1 ("Custom"). These are the Change Addresses Multibit made when handling your transactions.
Your bitcoins must be "connected" so to speak, to these Private Keys, it's how the blockchain works.
- In Electrum log into your new wallet and go to Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep. Here you enter the Private keys into the textbox and hit Sweep. If there are any bitcoins "connected" to these Private Keys they will show up in the next prompt.
Next set a transaction fee (something around 300 satoshi/byte), broadcast the transaction and voila you have your bitcoins back once the transaction is confirmed!
First all my money was unconfirmed. That was resolved when a refund I was expecting came through but now it won't let me empty it. Or move part of it. Keeps telling me it can't decrypt bytes or not enough satoshi.
How do you completely empty a wallet? do I have to add fees? I'm sending to coinbase which calculates fees.
And when most of my money was unconfirmed it did let me move $3.50 that was ok.
I just want gone from multibit. ideas?
