Title: Having issues importing Bitcoin paper wallet to Coinomi :(
Post by: cravethatcoin on August 23, 2017, 11:17:16 AM
Hello there,

Before the Bitcoin fork I moved some of my Bitcoin to a paper wallet.

I managed to import the BTC into blockchain.info (after the fork) and transfer the funds to Exodus.

I'm not trying to get the Bitcoin Cash into my coinomi wallet following this guide:

http://www.stacksofcoin.com/how-to-get-bitcoin-cash-from-a-paper-wallet/

When I do this it shows creating transaction and then loads the balance page of the app without any transaction created.

I have tried adding some Bitcoin Cash to my wallet for use as transaction fees but I'm not having any luck with this. Perhaps there's a better method, maybe sweeping my wallet with blockchain.info resulted in me loosing my Bitcoin Cash?

---

I would appreciate it if anyone has some experience with this or knows that the issue could be.

Thanks!
Jack

Thanks for your guide it's very good.

The only issue is that I can't use Electrum because I am using a Mac not Windows (crazy I know :D ). I tried using the android version but it doesn't have the sweet option

Is there any alternative?

I managed to download Electrum for Mac but it's using BTC not BCC so when I try to sweep my private key the key isn't recognised and the sweep button is blank.

Any idea how to solve this?

You need ElectronCash for BCH... The official website is: www.electroncash.org

They also have downloads for MacOS

Thanks so much :)

I'm in the process now and it's working perfectly.

In about a hour I would have swept all my wallets
