1  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Trying to move BCH from Electrum 2FA wallet - Pulling my hair out with this! on: January 03, 2018, 04:16:22 AM


Any ideas?



like the guy above me said, look for the keys in the wallet file.

but to put a finer point on that - you can actually open the wallet file with a text editor and go to the bottom to find those priv keys (assuming that you have made your wallet without an encryption key for the purposes of getting your BCH.

if not, make a new wallet as 2fa, but disable the 2fa and dont put any password on it... then it should be readable as text.

please correct me if i am wrong, internet, because i am certainly no expert.  but i did search for an answer on this for what seems like weeks.

Should be fairly easy I would think.

1. Open ElectronCash
2. File -> New\Restore -> MultiSig Wallet
3. Set "From 3 cosigners", "requires 2 signatures"
4. "Use public or private keys"
5. Paste in the "X1" xprv from your disabled 2FA wallet
6. When prompted for co-signer 2, "Enter Co-signer key"
7. Paste in the "X2" xprv from your disabled 2FA wallet
8. When prompted for co-singer 3, "Enter Co-singer key"
9. Paste in the "X3" xpub from your disabled 2FA wallet.

This should theoretically recreate the 2-of-3 MultiSig that is identical to your Electrum disabled 2FA wallet. You should be able to see the same addresses generated, your pre-fork history and BCH coins. And because it contains 2 of the 3 private keys... should allow you to sign and broadcast transactions.

For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umsIy1ks8vg

The video is using LTC and BTC, but should theoretically work the same...


I had to register just to thank you for this.

and OP for asking the question I have been searching over the past week.

thank you so much!
