HD seeds can't be imported into Mycelium wallet #2

Open petertodd opened 9 years ago

Did "Add Unrelated Account" -> "Scan"

Got "Unrecognized format" error; expected to scan in a HD account.

In my settings.txt I uncommented the "hd" setting, giving the default Bitcoin account m/44'/1'/0', as shown on my paper printout.

m/44'/1'/0' is a testnet path, did you maybe printout a testnet wallet but tried to import using it the production network wallet?

petertodd commented 9 years ago

Hmm, that could be the case.

That said, I just tried scanning it in in Testnet Mycelium, which failed.

Ah, hang on, I see where I went wrong:

1) Generated a testnet HD seed, not mainnet.

2) Didn't realize that the "add account" thing can only add cold storage accounts; it can't be used for your main HD wallet.

Fixing the UI re: #2 would be good; it'd be nice if your main account could be a standard HD wallet seed from qr-code.
