I can provide you with an article on how to get the correct Ethereum addresses from a Bitcoin (BTC) mnemonic using Python.

Getting the correct Ethereum addresses from a mnemonic

When creating a new Ethereum wallet or importing an existing one, you often encounter the problem of generating the correct address from a mnemonic. In this article, we will look at how to achieve this using Python.

The problem with Bitcoin mnemonics

A common problem when working with Bitcoin (BTC) mnemonics is that they are usually represented in the form “[ mnemonic: seed ]”. This means that if you enter “mnemonic: seed”, the program will print an address that is different from what you expect. For example:

import mnemonic





Example of a BTC mnemonic phrase
mnemonic_phrase = "abc123def456"

Create a new Ethereum wallet and generate an address from the mnemonic phrase
new_address = mnemonic.mnemonic_address(mnemonic phrase)
print(new_address) 
Result: e.g. '1B8F5xX9yTzGhRrL7c4gEa2W9uH6kP3dM'

Solution

To get the correct Ethereum address from a Bitcoin (BTC) mnemonic phrase, we first need to import the “mnemonic library”. This library provides a convenient way to work with mnemonics and generate addresses.

where mnemonic import Mnemonic
import base58

Example of a BTC mnemonic
mnemonic_phrase = "abc123def456"

Create a new Ethereum wallet instance
wallet = Mnemonic.words(mnemonic)

Create an Ethereum address from the mnemonic
address = wallet.to_address()
print(address) 
Print: e.g. '1B8F5xX9yTzGhRrL7c4gEa2W9uH6kP3dM'

Tips and Variations

• When working with different types of mnemonics, appropriate code adjustments may be required.

• If your mnemonic string is long or long (e.g. 64 characters), you may have problems. In this case, consider using a library like mnemonic which supports longer strings and provides more flexibility.

• You can also use the base58 library to encode the mnemonic before generating the Ethereum address.

By following these steps, you can successfully get the correct Ethereum addresses from your Bitcoin (BTC) mnemonics. If you encounter any problems or have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
