Thanks.  Once they are then back in a wallet then the private key comes into play again?

This  may be  a daft question.  But can I use my Bitcoin private key to get my bitcoin from Coinfloor?

OK thank you for the replies.

I've set up an electrum account.  I have then chosen the option to create a 'new seed' which I have written down on a piece of paper.  I've also set up a password.  Then I guess I go to the 'receive' page and click on the 'New address' tab and I provide this to Coinfloor as an address to send me the Bitcoin to this wallet.  Am I doing this correctly?  I see that that address it's generated is only available for 1 day.  But once there's Bitcoin in it I presume it  becomes permanent?

Well thank you all.  I've managed to retrieve all those forks thanks to the assistance of people on here.  In fact, I wouldn't have been able to retrieve the Bitcoins either if it wasn't for help on this thread.  I've learnt a great deal here.  I'm going to hang onto the Bitcoin.  We'll see how things  go.

Can anyone suggest a good book regarding Bitcoin?  Nothing too complicated.  There's a lot on Amazon.

Incidentally, I've left my Bitcoin on Coinfloor.  Is that a good course of action?

OK thanks.  I am fine with the Bitcoin Diamond Wallet now.  It's the Bitcoin Gold Wallet which is causing me problems downloaded from link from Coinmarketcap.  Can't find anywhere to enter an address or seed or key. Huh
6  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: September 07, 2021, 08:33:00 PM
Has anyone used the Bitcoin Diamond BTCD Wallet?  I can't seem to find where it's requires the key or seed.  It's not quite like the Electrum wallet.

Thank you for all your  help.  I've learnt a lot.  I've moved my Bitcoin Cash over to Coinbase now.  Now onto Electrum SV.  Is this the correct link to it's Wallet?  I couldn't find a link  from https://bitcoinsv.com/en
Can you post your address (if you don't mind the privacy loss)? I'm curious to see if you lost your BSV/BCH-A to the lack of replay protection. The BCH-A Fork is now worth more than BSV.

I'm relatively new to all of this even though I purchased my bitcoin back in 2013.  I couldn't even remember transferring it to Blockchain.  I was getting confused regarding the address and the key and the seed.  I found the key from a paper wallet I mentioned earlier in the thread and using it, I managed to recover my Bitcoin Cash.  The seed I created didn't.  I also had another 16 word  seed I had written down  years ago.  I tried that and it didn't work  but I think it was linked  to my Blockchain wallet.  I am learning slowly.  When I purchased Bitcoin it was worth around £100.  Who would have thought it  would have reached these heights and until recently, I thought I had  lost mine until I decided to search in an old computed I had lying around and found the account name with Blockchain in my 'favourites'.  My only regret is not having bought more.

Leave the derivation path as default (m/44'/145'/0').
I did this in Electron Cash using the seed I created in Blockchain and nothing appears.  The Bitcoin Cash still appears in another wallet as an imported address, watching only.  Any suggestions?
There is a slight trick with "forked" coins... they'll be on addresses generated using the "original" coins derivation path. So, in Electron Cash, you want to use the blockchain.com seed, but use the BTC derivation path of m/44'/0'/0' That should find "old" Bitcoin Cash coins from the fork.

The m/44'/145'/0' is only used for "new" Bitcoin Cash wallets. ie. ones created after the fork.



I have just tried it and it didn't work.  I do leave spaces between the seed words don't I?
10  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: August 29, 2021, 09:45:10 PM
OK.  I'll have to do that tomorrow as I access my Blockchain from another computer which is elsewhere.  I can't remember seeing any 'private key' in the blockchain wallet?  Just the address.  
For exporting the wallet from blockhchain.com, you can use the seed phrase.

In blockchain.com, click on "Security" at top of the page. After that click on "Backup Funds" and then "View Secret Private Key Recovery Phrase" .
You will see a series of 12 words which is your seed phrase.
The seed phrase can be used for recovering both bitcoin and bitcoin cash.


For bitcoin, Use Electrum.
Create a new wallet. Select "Standard wallet" and then "I already have a seed".
Click on "Options", check BIP39 and click on "OK".
Paste your seed phrase and click on "Next".
In the new window, select "Legacy" if your addresses start with 1 and "Native segwit" if they start with bc1q.

For bitcoin cash, use Electron Cash.  
Standard wallet > I already have a seed.
Options > Check "Force BIP39 interpretation of this seed".
Leave the derivation path as default (m/44'/145'/0').



If you have both bitcoin and bitcoin cash, for more security, move your bitcoin before trying to move bitcoin cash or other forks.

I did this in Electron Cash using the seed I created in Blockchain and nothing appears.  The Bitcoin Cash still appears in another wallet as an imported address, watching only.  Any suggestions?
11  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: August 24, 2021, 06:33:56 PM
OK thanks.  Where in Blockchain will I find the transaction?  

I've found a deposit and withdrawls aread on Confloor and it provides an 'Address' and 'Transaction Hash'.  Does this sound good?
12  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: August 23, 2021, 09:41:35 PM
OK thanks for the help.  I have now created a seed phrase as advised by hosseinimr93.  I haven't used it to move my BCH.

A few months ago I had some Bitcoin in my Blockchain.com Wallet and I moved it to Coinfloor without the use of a seed phrase.  I firstly moved it to Electrum and then sent it to Coinfloor.  I'm confused as to how I was able to do this after reading some recent advice on here.  I don't now have any Bitcoin showing in Blockchain but I do on Coinfloor.  Will I be able to sell this?  And the seed phrase I created this evening is only linked to what is currently in my Blockchain.com wallet?  Thanks and sorry for my ignorance.
13  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: August 22, 2021, 09:58:26 PM
It also says, 'imported address, watching only' if that's of any help?
That means that you imported the address instead of the private key and made a watch-only wallet. Note that it's impossible to spend fund from a watch-only wallet.
Create a new wallet (File > New/Restore) and import the private key (not the address) this time.

OK.  I'll have to do that tomorrow as I access my Blockchain from another computer which is elsewhere.  I can't remember seeing any 'private key' in the blockchain wallet?  Just the address. 
14  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: August 22, 2021, 09:12:33 PM
OK thanks.  I am trying to send to my Coinfloor wallet.  I've chosen the 'send' tab and inserted the destination address and chosen 'max'.  I can't seem to find a tab or button to make the transaction?  Can anyone help?

15  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I have a multibit wallet and I don't see any funds on: August 22, 2021, 08:23:19 PM
I have downloaded electrum etc. 

When you say "downloaded electrum etc"... do you mean that you downloaded Electrum and then several of the Electrum clones (Electron Cash, ElectrumG, ElectrumSV etc) to be able to claim the fork coins? Or did you just download Electrum and you're trying to access other coins in it?

Electrum, as stated above, is BTC only... to get the fork coins, you need to download the Electrum clone specific to each Fork. You can generally find links to these clones from the forkcoin's homepage.


I'm having difficulty in importing the bitcoin cash into the wallet from Blockchain.com
What exactly do you have from blockchain.com... the 12 word seed? or individual private keys in WIF format?

Thanks.  The private keys.

I have downloaded electrum etc.  I'm having difficulty in importing the bitcoin cash into the wallet from Blockchain.com  Any suggestions....again?  :-)
Electrum only supports bitcoin and cannot be used for claiming its forks.
For Bitcoin Cash, you need a wallet supporting it. As already said in my previous reply, I recommend you to use Electron cash.
In Electron cash, create a new wallet, select "Import Bitcoin Cash addresses or private keys" and after that enter your private keys.

I got confused.  I had download Electron cash as you stated but I hadn't selected "Import Bitcoin Cash addresses or private keys".  I've now done this and they have appeared in the default wallet. I want to leave them there for the time being but I hope to send them to my Coinbase wallet later on. Do you need to save this or just quit or what?  Thank you all for your help.

I have another question......I have a couple of Bitcoin Cash coins.  What can I do with them?
To access you bitcoin cash, you need to import your private key into a wallet supporting bitcoin cash.
The best choice is electron cash. Download it only from its official website.
Electron cash is a fork of electrum and it works same as electrum.
After you import your private key into electron cash, you will have access to your bitcoin cash and you can send them to anywhere (e.g. an exchange) you want.

Also, note that besides bitcoin cash, you should have some other fork coins too.
For more information on how to claim those fork coins, I recommend you to visit the link below and read the guide provided by LoyceV.

LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service)

I have downloaded electrum etc.  I'm having difficulty in importing the bitcoin cash into the wallet from Blockchain.com  Any suggestions....again?  :-)

Do you know of an exchange you could suggest to me?  How about spread betting?  Thanks.

Thank you both for your replies?

Not sure about anyone else but I think coinbase have managed to keep up with all of the new regulations so they might be one to look at and go with - they're quite well established in the crypto community too and are probably one of the oldest (still running) exchanges in the specter.

Actually, have purchased some alt coins through coinbase.  I liked ByBit where you can purchase on margin.  Something similar is what I would ideally like.  I like the flag.

You're unlikely to be able to buy or sell with bybit unless you have dual nationality you can use.

I can login to bybit and use it from the UK, my account with a UK mobile number got suspended (withdrawals being the only thing allowed). It's the financial conduct authority that banned them and a few other exchanges for non-compliance.

Is it possible to easily use ByBit in the UK?  I looked at some youtube video which said it was not but I believe you can get around this by using a  VPN.  Anyone using it from the UK and what VPN are you using?  Who or what prevents you from using it in the UK?  Is it the banks refusing to deposit money with it or what?

Also, after purchasing some crypto on ByBit, how do you convert your money back into fiat afterwards?

Thanks for any replies.  I'll return later.
