Title: How to transfer Bch?
Post by: Geo64 on December 21, 2017, 02:42:58 PM
Hello.
I recently imported a paper wallet on Blockchain, which contained 0.1 BTC and 0.1 BCH (it was created in 2014).
The BTC went correctly to “my bitcoin wallet” but the BCH remained in “Imported address”, and did not go to “my bitcoin cash wallet”.
I would like to exchange the BCH for BTC, but it doesn’t let me do anything with it, so I assume it has to go first into “my bitcoin cash wallet”. How do I do that?
Donation provided for who can help.
Thanks from a noob.

as far as i know, you need to import in a bch wallet like electrum.
I have found a topic with the step-by-step instruction how to claim your BCH.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2078292.0

or, here another way:
This is simple:

1- Export 12 word recovery phrase from your current Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A
(which did have some BTC on August 1!)

2- Create a new Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet B

3- Transfer ALL bitcoin from Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A to B
Wait for minimal of 2 confirmations! Your wallet A is now EMPTY.

4- Create Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet at BTC.COM

5- Import the bitcoin cash with 12 word recovery phrase from wallet A (bullet 1)
(no risk for your bitcoin, since your wallet A is now empty and your bitcoin now is in wallet B)

Enjoy!
