Title: Vendor accidentally Sent BTC to an Electron Cash BCH Address - Can I Sweep?
Post by: Smitten_Semi_Cameroon on April 25, 2018, 09:04:52 PM
I know that you can perform a "sweep" operation in the Exodus wallet to recover your funds, if this happens to you, so I'm curious if the Electron Cash Wallet has a similar ability.

Does anyone know or have any useful links to an idea that might work in this wallet?

Thanks in advance ...

It's easy. Just download Electrum[1] (for Bitcoin) and either:

a. Open your Electron Cash wallet file with with;
b. Or restore your Electron Cash wallet seed into Electrum.

Then, just send your coins to the address you want.
