Title: Question regarding Bitcoin Cash
Post by: so98nn on August 02, 2017, 01:35:05 AM
I am deciding to import my keys to claim Bitcoin Cash but before this I have a query. Suppose I transferred my BTC from cold storage A to cold storage B. Now I can use cold storage A to claim BCC. But after I claim BCC, address belonging to cold storage A can be use to receive BTC in future or it becomes my address for receiving BCC?

A saw a post from theymos against using the wallet (cold storage A in this case) again to receive BTC. There is a possibility that the BCC guys may use your private keys to steal your Bitcoins from the wallet, although the chances are extremely low.

Absolutely,you should use totally a new wallet to claim BCC since they might need your wallet's private keys to give BBC.So,never use your old wallet to claim BCC.Just use your old wallet for BTC alone.
