Title: Move pre-fork BTC from Jaxx to Ledger and claim BCH?
Post by: graphys on October 15, 2017, 12:00:26 PM
Hey,
Jaxx did not deliver the update yet to claim BCH in the Jaxx wallet.
Could I move my pre-fork BTC from Jaxx to my Ledger Nano S stick / wallet and claim my BCH there?
Ledger supports BCH and the BCH blockchain.

Should I restore my complete wallet (BTC & ETH) with the 12 word passphrase in Ledger or should I transfer the BTC coins to the wallet?
Which way would be smarter and do you know about a better option?

Thx so much

I think I have used btc.com before and it supports coins from jaxx. All you have to do is simple.

1. Move your btc in your jaxx to a new wallet maybe Ledger Nano ensure this is confirmed by that you have zero balance on your jaxx wallet. This will ensure you still have your BTC in case something goes wrong.

2. Open an account on btc.com choosing the BCH option then go to settings. There you will see the option of importing there is where you can then enter your paraphrase and have your BCH without any troubles.

It doesn't matter. just be sure you have the control on your private key and you will claim it, don't keep it on any exchange.
If you want the easiest way to collecte your BCH use Coinomi wallet from your phone, but you must be very careful when you setting up the settings. you will find the Instructions in this article : Collecting your (free) Bitcoin Cash coins (https://medium.com/@coinomi/collecting-your-free-bitcoin-cash-coins-44fcc6008bb6)

Thx so much.

Can I also move a small amount first as a test and then the rest?
And from Coinomi to Ledger?

Yes you can, Coinomi has Shapeshift integrated too, so you can directly transfer BCH to BTC if you wish so. I tried this procedure with a friend who had some BTC in Jaxx. Works fine.
