<p>If you export the PrivKeys, you get a sheet with all transactions, you need this.</p>

<p>Right-click in your Electrum in History on a transaction you received BTC on, then click details.</p>

<p>Then you have to look for the corresponding transaction in the sheet you downloaded, and look for the corresponding PrivKey.</p>

<p>Go to your Coinomi and go to BTGold wallet, select sweep wallet, here you can put in your PrivKey, and you will get the BTGold of that previous BTC transaction.</p>

<p>If you have more transactions BTC in your electrum, you need to input more PrivKeys in Coinomi, but they get counted together.</p>

<p>How can I convert an Electrum 12 word seed to a private key?</p>

<p>I heard Electrum has a special type of algorithm where the 12 word seed can't be used on other wallet software; is that true? </p>

Right-click in your Electrum in History on a transaction you received BTC on, then click details.
