Please guys, can someone help me. I've spent days and days watching videos and reading but no one explains clearly.

I am not technical so I just need a clear step by step explanation of how to get my BCH.

After purchasing the Ledger Nano S, I successfully transferred all of my Bitcoin from my Electrum software wallet to my new Ledger Nano S.

Now I would like to claim my Bitcoin Cash. I have the seed words for my Electrum software wallet.

Please help me understand how to do it - everything seems ridiculously complicated.

Thanks guys for your answers. I have the SEED written down so I will simply keep that safe (offline) and all should be well

I have the Electrum wallet on my PC and wondered what happens if my PC dies for some reason? Is there a way to back up the information? I'm not very technical.

Thanks HI-TEC99, I've done that and all is clear now. Thank you for your help. Wishing you a great day.

Thank you HI-TEC99 for doing that for me, very kind. Thanks to everyone for your input on this thread. My wallet now shows the confirmed transaction with a green tick

I have another question, in my wallet I have to amounts;

+ 1515.439
+ 0.5

How many Bitcoins is that?

I assume 0.5 is half a coin. But what is 1515.439, is that 1.51 coins?
This would make sense because it's about what I expected (2 coins total) but I want to learn how the decimal placements work, it makes no sense to have 4 digits before the decimal in the first amount?

Thanks guys. Do you know how much roughly I would need to pay for a "Child Pays For Parent" transaction? If it's £5 or £10 I might do that because I'm tired of all this messing around with Bitcoin unfortunately.

the fact that you see ~3BTC worth of inputs while you only withdrew 1.5 BTC is normal, it's basically how bitcoin works. The company paying you used a bunch of unspent outputs they controlled as input for a new transaction. This (new, unconfirmed) transaction has 2 outputs: one output to you, one output to either their change address, or to somebody else that needed to get payed.

Thanks mocacinno, that makes sense.

HCP, I checked the ID and it is different?!

So strange, I even asked the company that I bought the Bitcoins from to tell me the ID which was the one I posted earlier. Anyway, I right clicked and "details" shows the ID as: 18da4880116c8f13a834f452a97f85d3fc5b4ab78ac22d7a917ad4d3ef9af970

Note: I see that the transaction on blockchain.info is for more than $7,000 but I only transferred 1.5 Bitcoins?

Thank you HPC for your clear and detailed reply. I can confirm that the green light is showing so I may have to restore my wallet as you advise. Before I do that, I have an option to click on "Child pays for parent". Would you recommend I do this first? I think I am just nervous of clicking anything in case the Bitcoins disappear, ha, I know that's silly but it's all new.

I read that 2 days ago and didn't understand it. I'm not a techy and there's too many abbreviations, hence my comment that plain English should be used. Thanks for the link though.

Hi mocacinno, the transaction may have been confirmed but it still is not in my wallet, I still see "Low Fee".

I wish these wallets just gave a plain English explanation, like; "We are halting your Bitcoins, in order to get your coins you need to ..."

It's crazy that we have to ask for help in forums. How will Bitcoin go mainstream if it's is so complicated! I really appreciate you guys help but the wallet designers should have thought about this

Any ideas about this "Low fee"? I am assuming that somebody wants some money from me for something but I have no idea who or how much.

Wallet: Electrum

I think the Bitcoin community should make it much clearer that, unlike domestic bank transfers, it costs money to send Bitcoin. The bigger problem is that, unlike domestic bank transfers, I was not asked to pay a fee or given a chance to so I am left without any coins!

What can I do to release the "Low Fee" signal and get my coins?

Today, 24 May 2017
I am new to this so please bare with me.

I downloaded and installed the Electrum wallet and sent an amount of Bitcoins (from another wallet) to this new Electrum wallet. However, within my Electrum wallet is says "Low Fee" and remains unconfirmed for a long time.

I didn't know there were fees when sending Bitcoin, I thought that was the appeal. But anyway, now one asked me for a fee before I sent the coins to myself so what should I do?

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks guys. I read somewhere that these wallets are good: https://mycelium.com/ and https://electrum.org/

What are your thoughts?

I have tried this. See the image showing that I am logged in and the balance is $0.00, plus see that I have clicked "Request" but still don't have a receiver address. Multi-bit is terrible software, it's lost my money and is overly complicated to use. I am now using https://www.coinbase.com and it works much better. But, I still want my money from Multi-bit wallet, even though it's not much, it's the principle.

The "Receive" tab showed my address when I first used the software, but now it shows nothing. It's as though I am not logged in, but I am.

and why does anyone need a "wallet". It would be easier to copy and paste the bitcoin number/address to a notepad on my computer and be done with it.

I am new to bitcoin so please excuse me if this is simple.

I purchase $6.40 worth of bitcoin from bitbargain.co.uk last week. After the purchase was transacted, I transferred it to my MultiBit wallet. It showed up in my wallet and I closed the wallet. Today, the wallet shows $0.00?

I just bought £81.00 worth of bitcoin from bitbargain.co.uk and now I am being asked to direct it to my wallet, but I don't know my MultiBit wallet address. I have logged into my MultiBit wallet but there's nothing telling me what the address is or where my $6.40 worth of bitcoin has gone?

Please help.

Well done for holding onto 550 BTC!
