Hello everyone from this lovely community.
I'm a long time lurker and have invested in a nice amount of bitcoin a while ago (before the fork) Now I am in the process of getting my bitcoin cash that should also come on that same adress. I will use either coinomi of electron for that, but that is not the point now.
For safety reasons I want to save my bitcoin from my original wallet (X) into a different electrum wallet (Y), but what is the best way to do so?
1) Just send my bitcoin from X to the receiving adres of Y and pay a fee in the process.
2) Import the private key from wallet X into Wallet Y
3) Use sometime called sweep to transfer the funds between wallets; It is actually unclear to me how such a thing would work. Google gave different answers.
Should I sweep in Wallet Y and then but the private key of wallet X in there so the funds get transferred?
Thanks in advance and keep up all the good work here!
