After the fork  you would receive 1 BCH for every BTC you owned.

Read the article, did you sync everything? did you switched chains while updating? Either way follow the instructions and see if that resolves it.

Are you sure your Bitcoin is gone? That seems highly unlikely to me. Restore your seed on a hardware wallet like electrum, and let us know what your balance is.


Or simply check your bitcoin adress, to see if there has been any outgoing transactions.. If not, your bitcoin should still be there.

It sounds like you've accidentally switched onto the BCC chain in the Ledger wallet...

Do you see something like this?

If so... click on "Settings":

Then select "Blockchains":

Then select "Bitcoin" (note: if asked, select "Legacy"):

You should then see that you're connected to the "Bitcoin" chain and your BTC wallet should show up:

Don't worry, just sync again. Contact support if you don't find the option but is very easy

Did you use a passphrase at all for your wallet originally? Or did you just set it against the default PIN? or did you set a passphrase+alternate PIN?

I use a pin I created on the wallet and when I set it up I used a 24 word pass phrase

Ok, just making sure you hadn't used the "25th" word pass phrase to create a hidden wallet or anything ;)

So when you say you see 0 balance... do you see any transaction history? or is it all blank?
