Brother, that worked like magic.

I now have an Electron Cash wallet with a verified balance and an Electrum wallet with a verified balance.

Thanks a lot, sir. Where's the tip jar?

Hello folks,

I'm in the same basic boat –coins in old multibit wallet- and I think i understand but I'm a bit literal minded so I am going to list the instructions as i understand them and if you guys would either confirm or correct, I would appreciate it.

     1) Backup the Private Key from my Multibit Classic wallet
     2) Move the BTC to some other wallet so the Private key I have backed up is associated with the now empty Multibit wallet
     3) Import the Private key into a BCH wallet (Electrum, etc) and the Bitcoin cash will appear.
     -- Now I have two wallets, one with BTC and one with BCH, correct?

As I understand it, it can be tough to transfer out of the old Multibit because the fee cannot be set high enough. So I would perform Step 2...how, exactly? I'm afraid I don't understand enough to even ask an intelligent question.

Many thanks,
Drew
