I used Electron Cash 2.9 to make a BCC deposit on ViaBTC.
I took all precautions, I withdrew all my BTC to another wallet, then used a virtual machine to use Electron Cash client.
I made the transfer to the address ViaBTC gave me: transaction is here: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/dc5a2cd18cdcf0116648cd1fef5dfff235e1a05a2e216aa3f4eca02e2821380a (4 confirmations as I write)
But yet I have no trace of the BCC on my ViaBTC account.
Any ideas ? Did it happen to someone here ?
I sent a message to the support, but half of the form was in chinese... So no idea if its gonna work.

You must save bitcoin to get BCH, but if you do not have bitcoin now you will not get BCH

Of course. I had btc as you may see if you read my initial post. I just moved them to another wallet to be safe.
I had BCH, and made a transfer with it, I just don't know where they ended up.

Only recently has the first bch (formely known as bcc) block been mined, it will take a few days before transactions get going at a "normal" pace. Things are gonna be pretty slow at first.

This has same problem with you using ElectronCash

Some member here said that transaction of BitcoinCash can take many hours maybe few days.
In stead of waiting viaBTC fulfill verify your transaction, its better stay away using ElectronCash for a while.

No this is completely different.
This guy didn't change server, Electron Cash has "peer list poisoning" bug, if you don't change server manually you're still on the old btc blockchain and you won't see your BCH.
I think Electron Cash is legit.
It's true blocks are being mined at a very slow pace, I'll wait and update tomorrow.

Is blockchain wallet give BCC to its user? because half of my BTC is saved there
And in bittrex,user who hold their BTC get their BCC as soon as it's release

I thought some BCC might show up in my Mycelium wallet this morning when I woke up--I didn't really know what to expect, but it didn't.  It was probably complete ignorance on my part.  As usual.  I understand that my private keys control the BCC post-split, but I'm clueless as to how to actually get those BCC.  I did read what Theymos wrote, but I'm an absolute retard with this stuff.  I swear I'm good at science but this stuff has me perplexed. 

Not to mention technology has shrunk my attention span to milliseconds.  :(

I think I might have made a mistake and sent my BCH to a bitcoin address instead of a BCH address.
How can this affect my BCH ? I got 6 verifications now: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/dc5a2cd18cdcf0116648cd1fef5dfff235e1a05a2e216aa3f4eca02e2821380a

hey,

I have tried to move my coins over from a blockchain.info wallet to my electron cash wallet by importing the priv key after moving all my bitcoin to another wallet address. After i import the wallet, what else do i have to do to see my BCC? I don't see anything on here! Under history i see 2 deposit and 2 withdrawal transactions but the amounts clearly don't match up. What am i doing wrong? Can you please help me understand?

Can we not go off topic please ?
If you need help you can open a topic too.
You need to select the server manually for a BCC node in order to see your BCC.

Just look with a blockchain explorer (for BCC/BCH) and you will see your transactions.

As long as the receiving end has the private key there is no difference between a Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash address. The funds are not lost but it might be manual work for an exchange to recover them if a Bitcoin wallet was used.

20 Confirmations will take days at this rate no block mined in over 13h!

I had the same problem with Electron. it was just showing my BTC trasnfer and no BCH.
Go to the network seeting, unselect the automtically server, go to server panel and take another one, right click on it (for exemple electroncash.casharia.com) et click on "use at server. Wait a little and Tadaa, your BCH are there :)

I think ViaBTC will not redeem my BCH...
They just put a red message on the BTC deposit page : "This address is for BTC deposit. Non-BTC deposits are not allowed for redemption."
I think a lot of people did the same mistake, and they will no refund anybody, free money for them... Shit !
Should I open a new topic for this matter ?

You could watch the blockchain to see if they pull it out...
Sad to hear its gone. Also open a ticket maybe...

Support doesn't answer any of my mail, on twitter either.
I just assume they scammed me (us).
It's really easy to find the coins back, they just won't do it because it's our mistake, and free money for them. I still call it a scam.

did it split

You Did Not And Could Not Send Bch To A Bitcoin Wallet As They Are Separate Blockchains. You Sent Your Bch To A Bch Address That You Do Not Own. So You Just Gave Away You Bch To Someone Else. No Recovery Is Possible.

I think i may know what could have happened here, coz the same thing may have happened to me, can you post the address that you sent the BCH to? BTW which wallet did you transfer FROM?

Edit: Sorry, got it from the tx you posted above. Do you have the priv key for this wallet: 13PPyKUqP94gPvWQmX6E2q25RKnNXuhkyf

Obviously I don't... This is the address I sent my BCC to, it is from ViaBTC. And they won't redeem my coins.
I'm screwed ! They fucking scammed me, and many others...
