Bitcoin Forum

Hello.
Can someone help a bit ?

I had BCH in a "core" type wallet (bitcoin ABC)

I knew I had a few BCH when the SV fork was made, so:

- I went to bitcoin abc wallet, I exported the private keys
- I went to Coinomi mobile wallet, under my bitcoin SV wallet I used their "sweep" function and typed my private keys
- Transacitons confirmed and I got the amount of BCH inside my SV wallet.
- I saw that when importing the keys, it basically made a transaction, mobile wallet created a new SV address where funds where received

Now... my BCH are also gone from my core wallet. Exact same transactions that were sent to SV. What the heck happen ? What did I do wrong ? :(
I was expecting to have both BCH and SV.

This should be in altcoins but....
When Coinomi swept the BSV the transaction was probably was also seen on the BCH chain.
Can you post the address that had the BCH? And the receiving address on BSV?

You can probably see it went to the same address on both the BCH & BSV chains.

Not sure how it works but if you just ADD the BCH to coinomi you should see the coins there.

First thing is first: You should have moved your BCH before extracting any BSV from it. That's the golden rule while dealing with forks.

Still, You should have made a mistake at some point if you cannot see your bch now.

Somehow you must have moved your bch while moving your bsv.

If you have the BSV private keys of your new destination address, you can try to import those BSV private keys to your ABC (BCH) node.

Thanks for the replies.
At this point I got a reply in the live chat of Coinomi mobile wallet (cool), I was told to send the BSV to my Coinomi BCH address, now I got same amount of BCH back.
I was told to start the split again with their tutorial and using the Coinomi wallet where my BCH is now.
Waiting for TX to confirm now, looks OK so far...
That was a bit stressful  ;D

It confuses me a bit that I need to start over in Coinomi BCH wallet and not my initial BCH core/abc wallet; because I consider this BCH in Coinomi to be "new" after the fork, but we'll see ...

When you click on "sweep" function this means that a new transaction will be created that withdraws all the currencies that you have to Coinomi mobile wallet address, so you will not get any currencies in your old BCH address, but the balance must appear in Coinomi mobile wallet.
and you should use it with empty address so no one will hack your old coins.
if you have a private key and clean phone you will be safe.

Would you please keep the altcoin discussion in the altcoin area? This is the Bitcoin section of the forum, its only about Bitcoin and not altcoins or any random fork of the day, thanks.

I have informed to moderator about this. I hope OP user will move soon. If not moderator will do :)
