Restore the onchain funds from an LND wallet in Electrum Wallet
Only do this if you understand the process.
Never enter secrets into online webpages.
Avoid browser windows with extensions.
The Tor Browser is a good start (aim to use it offline).
Requires:
LND 24 words seed (+ passphrase if used)
useful to know the funded addresses
use a dedicated, secure operating system eg. Tails​
save online pages to disk and open in a new browser window
Open https://guggero.github.io/cryptography-toolkit/#!/aezeed​
under Decode mnemonic
enter the 24 words seed (+ passphrase if used)
copy the HD node root key base58
Open https://iancoleman.io/bip39/​
enter the HD node root key base58 to BIP32 Root Key
under Derivation Path
Select the tab BIP84 for bc1.. addresses.
Select BIP49 for 3.. addresses.
Copy the private keys for the known or all addresses (Account Extended Private Key).
Open Electrum Wallet
Follow: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/​
When importing the private keys use the prefix:
p2wpkh: before the private keys of bc1... addresses
p2wpkh-p2sh: before the private keys of 3... adddresses
Done. Once the Electrum Server finished scanning the funds should appear.
Import the onchain part of the LND wallet to Electrum Wallet
This is not a recommended way to manage the funds from the LND wallet, it is better be used as watch-only.
Restoring from the seed in Electrum does not affect the offchain funds in channels.
There is no guarantee that the change outputs from Electrum will appear in LND and vice versa.
Only do this if you understand the process.
