Hey there,

thanks for the explanation. I was having the same problem with my old electrum 2fa wallet > redeem BCH

BUT:

using the master PUBLIC keys (only ones available inside the wallet) from my new 2fa DEACTIVATED electrum wallet resulted in a 2of3, watching only electron wallet.

Now I'm struggling to extract the master PRIVATE keys from the electrum wallet which I guess are required to create a fully functional -not only watching- BCH wallet...

Any ideas?

I have found a clue, the command

electrum getmasterprivate -w /path/to/wallet_file
. wallet files are in ~/.electrum/wallets. ~/ is your home directory.

...but I get a syntax error in the electrum wallet console when I use this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best, B
