Import Address or Transaction which was created using xpub of same wallet to get updated balance and use funds.

[Adonis2115]

I have exported xpub and used it in one of my website to give a different address to all users and when funds are received on any address, it is not visible on electrum wallet. I can understand this as electrum can not watch infinite addresses. But it would be a great feature to import the address or transaction which was received (also in bulk) so it can be updated in the wallet and I can use funds from electrum itself.

PS: If it's possible now please let me know.

Is this a gap limit issue?
Or why do you think the transactions are not visible in Electrum?

[Adonis2115]

Yeah might be gap limit issue, the address which got generated is different than the 20 address provided by Electrum, while when address is generated using xpriv is the same as the 20 address in the order.

that does not sound like a gap limit issue...

@Adonis2115 I am not sure I understand.

• where did you get the xprv?
• do the addresses shown by electrum, and the addresses generated on your website, have the same script type? what is the first character of these addresses respectively?
• what plugin/etc are you using to generate addresses on the website?

Could you please clarify that? Did you mean the following:

• Electrum with xprv (or seed?) generates addresses list A
• website plugin with xpub generates addresses list B
• website plugin with xprv generates addresses list B

where did you get the xprv?

I did not get it, I did create a wallet using mnemonic in electrum.

do the addresses shown by electrum, and the addresses generated on your website, have the same script type? what is the first character of these addresses respectively?

I believe the script is same both address shown in electrum and generated using xpub programmatically start with letter 'm'

what plugin/etc are you using to generate addresses on the website?

bitcore lib I am using to generate addresses using xpub.

Electrum with xprv (or seed?) generates addresses list A

Electrum with mnemonic

website plugin with xpub generates addresses list B

bitcore lib

website plugin with xprv generates addresses list B

not generating using xprv

no idea how bitcore lib generates addresses from xpub.
that is not an Electrum issue, though
