How to create Atomic Wallet private key from their ETH address using 12 words mnemonic? #31

@ebellocchia commented on Atomic Wallet address derivation from a mnemonic: https://github.com/ebellocchia/py_crypto_hd_wallet/issues/19

I already know my address, but I would like to generate matching private key (since Atomic Wallet has their app suspended from download). I feel there is one step further that can be done to derive matching ETH address private key as well (that can be imported in MetaMask). Please help.

Hi, yes I remember that Atomic wallet derives the Ethereum address in a quite "strange" way. If I remember correctly, it basically just uses the master private key as it is without deriving any private key.

Thanks @ebellocchia Atomic Wallet has reinstated downloads of their App, so I was able to get my private key that way.
