Import wallet should give out a format error message when it hasn't been able to detect any useful information.

The current message is "No wallets were found"

This looked to me like the wallet has tried to lookup a derivation with a balance and failed.

The reality is that there was a typo or format error at the beginning that didn't give BlueWallet enough information to derive anything.

Until Bluewallet has the ability to try parsing any random string as if it's a Brain Wallet, I think there should be a

"Format Error" message instead of "No Wallets"

@limpbrains thoughts?

I don't see much difference between "No Wallets" or "Format Error". Neither of them give me any useful information.

@limpbrains To me the difference was that "No wallet were found" makes it seem like it tried but failed to find some standard derivation path with an activity.

That's what electrum and sparrow say once they checked multiple possible popular derivation.
