Hi, I used this method and it works. The problem is that I did not export my multibit HD wallet before doing this process, and now I can not access to my multibit HD wallet, not even can recover with my seed. What happens? How can I get my Bitcoins back?

You should be able to access your BTC using electrum wallet https://electrum.org Use the seed from multibit HD.

The default derivation seems `m/44'/145'/0'` so I will change it to `m/0'`

<p>If you have exported your Multibit HD wallet into Electrum, then your Electrum wallet is sharing the Private Keys with your Multibit wallet. In a less technical language: You have one account (your wallet) and 2 interfaces to access your funds (Multibit and Electrum).</p>

<p>The BCH are tied to your account not the interface. So forget about Multibit and redeem your bitcoin cash with the help of Electrum. Follow the official Electrum <a href="https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Recommendation on how to redeem Bitcoin Cash</a>. Short version below:</p>

If I had my BTC in a multibit HD wallet prior to the fork, and I exported my wallet to Electrum after the fork, will the BCH still be tied to the multibit HD wallet?

And if so, how can I access the BCH stored in the multibit HD wallet?

Here is what you need to do. Make sure you have the seed from multibit.

1. Download <http://www.electroncash.org/>
2. You create a new wallet, select I already have seed, when you type seed you need to click the "options" button and select **BIP39 seed**.
3. It will ask for a derivation path... you need to use: m/0' (note the ' it is important... m/0')
   4.Suggest you do research as there are some issues with it not connecting to BCC chain sometimes.
