Title: ELECTRUM BITCOIN CASH ERROR
Post by: Matanlaz on November 20, 2017, 09:24:29 AM
Hi,

I have downloaded the ELECTRUM BITCOIN CASH Wallet few weeks ago.
I would like to withdraw the BIT CASH to my LEDGER WALLET but I receive an error :

the transaction was rejected by network rules
16: mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Signature must use SIGHASH_FORKID)

Can you please assist?

Thank you.

Did you download Electrum (https://electrum.org/#home) or Electron Cash (https://electroncash.org/)?
Electrum works with Bitcoin, Electron Cash works with Bitcoin Cash.

Initially, I have downloaded the ELECTRUM and accidentally sent the BITCOIN CASH to its address.
Due to that, I could not see the BITCOIN CASH in it.

The solution was to download the ELECTRUM CASH wallet. Once I did it, the BITCOIN CASH just showed up.

this error means you have created a "bitcoin" transaction and now you are trying to send that transaction on "bitcoin cash" network. they obviously reject it because it is invalid on the other network.

- install the latest version of Electron-cash 2.9.4
- import your private key there and try recreating the transaction and sending it.
