Has anyone been able to send a transaction using Electrum/ Electron Cash so far?

[mmplpri]

Hi,
I got 2FA on and i got error 16 when i try to send my coins my question is i will be able to pay it out somehowe if i lost my seeds?

If you have lost your seed, then your chances of being able to get the BCH out of Electron Cash is not good.

2FA is a 2-of-3 MultiSig account. Easiest option is to sign with the two private keys generated by your seed. But in your case, No seed = Not able to restore and disable 2FA to get 2 private keys = Not able to send BCH

Maybe you can contact TrustedCoin like the previous poster? https://trustedcoin.com/#/contact-us

If you ask them nicely, they might be able to help you out and sign the transaction so you can move your BCH out of 2FA wallet.

Ok... so I think I've found a way to work around the "Please wait" issue

Short Version: Use Electrum to create your "disabled" 2FA wallet, then open that wallet in ElectronCash


Long Version (with pictures):

Requirements:
-Electron Cash v2.9.3 that can be downloaded here: http://electroncash.org/
-Electrum v2.9.3 that can be downloaded here: https://electrum.org/#download
-Your TrustedCoin 2FA wallet 12 word recovery seed. If you don't have this, you cannot recover the funds under any circumstances


1. Open Electrum. Do NOT open ElectronCash just yet.

2. "File" -> "New\Restore", Type a wallet name. I'd suggest using something easy to remember. Click "Next":

3. Select the second option "Wallet with two-factor authentication" and click "Next":

4. You will see the TrustedCoin disclaimer. Click Next.

5. Select the second option: "I already have a seed" and click Next:

6. Type your 12 word recovery seed (you should see a message appear next to the "Options" button that says "Seed Type: 2FA"). Click Next

7. Select the second option: "Disable" (This is VERY important) and click Next:

9. You will then be prompted to create a password for the wallet. This is optional, but recommended. After a few seconds, Electrum will recover your wallet using your seed and then you'll see this window:

10. Click "File" again and then click "Save copy". Now in the next window, it will give you the option of saving a backup of the wallet. Pick an easy to find location like the Desktop as you will need to find this wallet again soon. Also, use an easy to remember name and click "Save". You will see a message box confirming the location where you saved the wallet backup. Click "OK" and then close Electrum.

11. Now, open up ElectronCash

12. "File" -> "Open". Look for the wallet backup file you just saved in step #10. (Note: If you used a password for the wallet at step #9, you will be prompted to enter the password.)

13. You should now have your "disabled" 2FA wallet open in ElectronCash, ready for spending your BCH

Short Version: Use Electrum to create your "disabled" 2FA wallet, then open that wallet in ElectronCash

Important: I finally got this to work after a long headache. I tried using an Electrum wallet that was a couple of months old and the newest Electron Cash, to no avail, then I tried the newest versions of both, same result. But then I downloaded version 2.9.3 of both Electron Cash and Electrum and it worked on first try.

Download the *.exe files here:

https://download.electrum.org/2.9.3/

I have the same issue.
Update: solved. I've just choose "select server automatically" in network preferences and it works. Server now is bitcoincash.bitcoinplug.com.

Update 2: transactions don't work. "Server didn't answer".
What can be done with it?

Make sure you are using the latest version of ElectronCash... v2.9.4 - https://electroncash.org/#download

BCH network had a "hard fork" on Nov 13th... ~block#504,000... it seems that ElectronCash v2.9.3 is unable to sync past block 503,999...

I can't open this wallet in 2.9.4 because client just close.
Yesterday one transaction to Bittrex was send without error. Now it has status "Not verified" in Electron and I have that BCC on Bittrex now.

Hello everyone, I've not been able to claim my BCH from the Electrum to Electron cash. I have seed, though it is 25 words, not the typical 12. It was a 2FA wallet as well and i've followed all the instructions on here to disable 2FA. I've been at it for days and I can't seem to recreate a working wallet in Electron. I've tried sending my keys to other wallets, and using the seed with earlier versions of Electrum first, to modding the wallet and just opening it with Electron, with no luck on any front. Electron just hangs, or closes altogether. I'm nearing the end of what I'll do to claim these coins... Anyone trustworthy on here want to take a stab at it for a piece of a somewhat small prize?

Thanks for reading. =]

I also had trouble with this shit - Electron Cash. As user HCP had adviced I disabled 2FA in new Electrum wallet (2.9.3) and opened it in Electron (2.9.3). After many "server doesn't response" errors it sent test transactions to "bitcoin.com" and Bittrex wallets.
I've noticed that first try to send BCC just after opening Electron is more likely to be successfull. So I tried opening and sending it many times. Some of them were broadcasted, most didn't. But those who did appeared in "bitcoin.com" and Bitterx wallets.
Hope my experience will help you.

Your problem is that BCH recently had a HardFork... and you need to be using v2.9.4 of ElectronCash... I think a lot of the servers won't play nice with ElectronCash v2.9.3... so make sure you update to v2.9.4 for ElectronCash

Newest versions of Electrum seem to have a few little "bugs"... so if you're messing around trying to disable 2FA etc on Electrum, I would suggest v2.9.3

Good advice, always use the latest versions before you make a transaction. Better be safe than sorry.

I strongly wanted to use 2.9.4 version but it just didn't open wallet backuped by 2.9.3. Wallet closed without any error messages. Whatever, I send BCC from 2.9.3 and sold it on Trex.
Thank you for your advices, they really helped me.
