Title: Regarding claim to Bitcoin Cash
Post by: Bitbonster on November 13, 2017, 05:30:55 PM
Hi, guys.

As of the fork I, same as many of you, got some Bitcoin cash associated with my BTC address. I'm trying to figure out a way of turning those BCC into BTC, so I was wondering: if I move all of my BTC to another wallet will the previous address still contain the BCC, and be "extractable"?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. Bitcoin Cash is an altcoin. Whatever you do to your Bitcoin will not effect your Bitcoin Cash and vice versa.

Thank you for your help. So, even if I sweep my private key with Electrum, that would only sweep the BTC and leave the BCC in the same address, right? Would you know of any site/video/resource that could assist me in the process of converting my BCC to BTC?
