<p>I have found many default derivation path online which is used in bitcoin core, but i still can't get the correct one so that i can import my bitcoin wallet to my electrum wallet (BIP 39 option) with 18 words seed which i had got from bitsblock.io while initial download. I wanted to know how can we exactly find the derivation path in Qt GUI, as i had found a command online <code>wallet.keystore.derivation</code> but it doesn't work. </p>

# How to find/view derivation path in Bitcoin Core

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-12)

I have found many default derivation path online which is used in bitcoin core, but i still can't get the correct one so that i can import my bitcoin wallet to my electrum wallet (BIP 39 option) with 18 words seed which i had got from bitsblock.io while initial download. I wanted to know how can we exactly find the derivation path in Qt GUI, as i had found a command online `wallet.keystore.derivation` but it doesn't work.

That's not Bitcoin core!

The bitsblock.io website copied the visual style of Bitcoin.org -- which seems a bit suspicious?

It is a recently created domain

You simply can not, they are completely incompatible.
