Use breadwallet on mobile or you have to manually or otherwise extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD wallet/seed...

Automated (but technical) method requiring use of python scripts: https://github.com/HardCorePawn/multibit_recovery

Manual method:

  • Create offline version of https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/- Put in your MultiBit HD seed
  • Set Derivation Path -> BIP32
  • Set Client = "MultiBit HD"
  • Copy all the address/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)
  • Set Client = "Custom" -> Set Derivation Path = m/0'/1
  • Copy all the change addresses/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)

Once you have all your private keys:

  • In Electrum -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Create a new seed
  • Once wallet is created, "Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep"
  • Paste in all the private keys you got from automated or manual method
    You should now have all your coins in an Electrum HD Wallet.
