Title: Issue importing private keys into Electrum Cash Wallet
Post by: rusto1000 on December 09, 2017, 05:46:27 PM
I have an Electrum wallet that I've had since before the fork.  I'm trying to access my BCC.  Thing is I have lost the seed I originally set the wallet up with.

So I have moved all my BTC to a new wallet
I have exported my private keys
I installed Electrum Cash
I Open Electrum Cash go to make a new Create New Wallet -> Standard Wallet -> Use Public or Private Keys -> I enter in the private keys but the Next button is greyed out still.

Could i be entering these in the wrong format or something?

Any ideas?

Thanks

To import your private keys you need to choose "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" in the first screen and not "Standard Wallet -> Use public or private keys".

You can also get your Electrum seed by going to Wallet -> Seed. Then, go to Electron Cash and choose Standard Wallet -> I already have a seed -> Paste your seed and you are done.
