I have BTC in a Bitcoin Core wallet v0.14.1 with funds that are from before the Aug 1 BCH fork. I don't want to use Bitcoin Core at all moving forward.
I also have a Jaxx wallet which I've been dumping BTC into from some GPU mining, and don't really want to use that either moving forward.
I want to drop both of those and transfer my funds to my new Ledger Nano S which I've successfully setup, but have not done anything else with yet. There are a series of things I want to do, but I'm unsure of the best practice or sequence in which they should be performed so as not to mess things up.
How do you recommend I complete the following:
- Claim my BCH (from Bitcoin Core wallet), convert it to BTC and get it in my Ledger Nano S wallet? I don't care to do anything at all with BCH moving forward, I just want to claim it and convert it to BTC. I mentioned that I have a Jaxx wallet, since apparently, it has a way to claim BCH from before the fork? Would I need to import the Bitcoin Core wallet's private key into Jaxx for this to work (rather than transferring to Jaxx wallet)?
- Import the BTC in my Bitcoin Core wallet to my Ledger Nano S? If I understand correctly, sweeping the BTC to my Ledger wallet would be better than simply importing the private keys so as not to leave the core wallet behind as a potential vulnerability?
- How can I do this and keep transaction fees to a minimum?
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Paul
