Sorry for causing the confusion. I shouldn't have assumed that you have a SegWit wallet since Electrum generates bech32 addresses by default (bc1...). Try following this guide from the Electron Cash GitHub. Thanks @o_e_l_e_o for your vigilance.

You, sir, are a hero and a gentleman. I got everything back using that guide. Thank you!

So you created a 2FA wallet on Electrum from scratch, and went through the process of setting up with Trusted Coin, giving an email address, scanning a QR code with your phone, etc? In that case, you have a multi-sig legacy wallet (as multi-sig segwit wallet addresses begin with "bc1" rather than "3").


I think everything you said is correct. My wallet says trusted coin protected and I definitely used a QR code on the Microsoft Authenitcator app on my phone. But on the 'receive' tab the address starts with a 3. Based on your previous comment there seems to be conflicting information as I have the dreaded 3 to indicate that it is not multi-segwit.

I did try to take the seed from Electrum and use it to start a new wallet on Electron Cash earlier, maybe I missed something.

Thanks for all your help people. It may not be solved yet but I am learning!

Till now, I didn't know the owner of bitcoin.com is Roger Ver.
Yeah, bitcoin.com is a known scam site ran by known scammer Roger Ver. This is part of how he makes his money - tricking newbies like OP in to buying his trash altcoin while thinking they are actually purchasing bitcoin. It is highly deceptive and highly untrustworthy. OP isn't the first and won't be the last to fall victim to this scam, unfortunately.

To OP - is your wallet a multi-signature wallet, some other script, or just a standard "nested segwit" wallet? How did you create it? Depending on if it is or isn't a segwit address depends on how easy or not it will be to recover the coins.

I realise now that it defaults to the other coin so unsuspecting and stupid people (like me) buy without realising the difference.

The wallet is 2FA, script is p2sh.

The private keys should be at the right side after 'P2SH:'. There is one more problem, though. Bitcoin Cash does not support SegWit. You have sent your coins to a nested SegWit address which means, as far as I remember, that you won't be able to recover those coins without the help of a miner.

Ok I managed to 'sweep' the keys (no import in Electron cash)  - no inputs found

Is that what I would expect to see because SegWit is not supported?

Thanks

Hey guys, me again Smiley

I have both Electrum and Electron cash running. I tried to create a new wallet using the Electrum seed in Electron Cash but that did not work, in fact, I cannot click 'next' to complete the process as it is greyed out.

I have tried exporting keys (from Electrum to Electron Cash) as CSV and JSON but I cannot get either to work (again the 'next' button is greyed out).

Feel like I am close to sorting this out but my inexperience with these platforms is causing some issues. Does anyone see what the problem might be?

Thanks!

It was not a large amount of cash. Something like £140.

I have Electron Cash downloaded now so should not be too long before I have my money back.

Thanks guys!

Probably back in 10 minutes once I get stuck again but I will try to do some googling before I waste your time.

Ok, that makes sense.

I bought them from https://buy.bitcoin.com/

I don't think I was scammed, maybe lack of information and naivety on my part. I should have done some more research.

Time for me to find out what Bitcoin Cash is and how I can convert to what I need.

Thanks for your response.

Hello,

Sorry for the rudimentary post, I have little to no idea what I am doing. I have tried to search for similar issues on the forum but I am not sure what I am looking at. If you want to just link me to another forum thread I will be happy to follow the advice.

The issue is that I tried to buy some amount of bitcoin and never received the funds in my wallet. I have been told that the transaction has been completed and I have been given the wallet address (which I think is correct) and the transaction info but I am not really sure how I can use this to verify the transaction.

I am connected to the Electrum server and have updated the software. I can see the 0 mBTC in the bottom left. My history is also completely blank.

Email:

Tell them that the transaction has been completed and here are the blockchain links:
Wallet address
38fNkEUaDBuh7n4TnheLys4fbGtcXEczeE
Transaction hash
5d1359344b71070dfe29aa9aa99d7e4e7ecae82fe3bb3de5ccd4b126e692ce29

I get the feeling that I may have given the wrong wallet address but I am not sure how to check this.

Again sorry for the uneducated post.
Best wishes,
Lazy (Rob)
