Title: Did I miss on claiming the free BCH ?
Post by: codehtcmail on August 02, 2017, 08:08:50 AM
Hi I followed this tutorial:

1. Install Electron Cash on a machine that does not have your
 Electrum wallets.

 2. Wait until the BCC hard fork has taken place, and a few BCH blocks
 have been mined.

 3. Move all your Electrum funds to a new Electrum wallet. This will
 move only your BTC, and not your BCH, because the BCH blockchain has
 replay protection. Wait until the transaction is confirmed.

 4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in
 Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet,
 entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds
 at risk.


On Electron Cash I disabled Auto Server and chose casharia but I get only my BTC transactions and 0 BCH:

Where are my hidden BCH ?

You need to select BCC chain instead of BTC manually at the first run of this software, you can read my guide with pictures here: https://josephyap.me/spend-bitcoin-cash-private-key/ (https://josephyap.me/spend-bitcoin-cash-private-key/)
