Hi all!

I'm trying to claim Bitcoin Cash for my BTC, being stored in Bitcoin Core. Slowpoke, yeah  :)

My BTC were stored in Bitcoin Core until I send all of them to a new wallet on 3rd August. Recently I've restored the initial wallet in Electorn-Cash, using seed, and saw 0 balance of BCC.

Have anyone experienced this?
Whats is the easiest way (without downloading all the blocks) to claim my BCC, if I was using Bitcoin Core and have wallet.dat and seed?

Thank you in advance!

Where were the coins on 1^st August?

From the OP it looks like they were stored on your wallet.dat. The best thing I can suggest is exporting all of your private keys from bitocin core and pasting them into electron setup wizzard after clicking "standard wallet" > "public and private keys" from the startup window or by clicking file>new/restore in electron cash when it loads (if there's already a wallet in it).

If they don't work, there's btc.com and coinomi that are online wallets that can get the coins out for you.

Did you have a single sig address or a multisig address? I could't redeem them with a multisig address yet...

You can export private key to text and inport to Electron! For security, you must send all BTC to other wallet before retorin BCH coin
