1. Install Electron Cash on a machine that does not have your Electrum wallets. 2. Wait until the BCC hard fork has taken place, and a few BCC blocks have been mined. 3. Move all your Electrum funds to a new Electrum wallet. This will move only your BTC, and not your BCC, because the BCC blockchain has replay protection. Wait until the transaction is confirmed. 4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet, entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds at risk. Following these 4 easy steps you will be able to access your BCC without compromising your BTC. If Electron Cash is fake then I don't think Electrum will advise to use them right?

Please UPDATE us on functional and LEGIT BCC wallets. Cheers Title: Re: CLAIM BitcoinCash from private Electrum wallet ??? Post by: DocSnyd3r on August 02, 2017, 12:34:03 PM enough threads already just read them
