Will I automatically receive bitcoin cash on blockchain.info?

[Wind_FURY]

OP, if you only have a small amount of Bitcoins in Blockchain.info, I suggest you make a Kraken account and send them there. Kraken has expressed that they will be accepting and listing Bitcoincash in their exchange and would give all their users the BCH that is due to them.

Currently have 2.26BTC... is it too late to switch?

That is more than $5000 there. I will not and cannot advice you what to do with that much money on the line. I thought you had only something under $1000 in Bitcoins. Maybe it would be safer to store them in a wallet with the private keys you control.

blockchain.info dosent spread BCC. Your coins in bitcointalk may be risky. You can store them in a hardware wallet or a paper wallet during the form. If bitcoin splits after the fork then you will recieve the equal share of BCC as you have in BTC. You will recieve BCC in exchange with your BTC on exchanges with BCC.

No, you won't.
You'll need to import your private keys in a compatible wallet after the fork, so that you'll get your BCH.

You can look at Blockchain.info CEO tweet: https://twitter.com/OneMorePeter/status/891406518561669122?p=v
This everything what they said about fork and you can interpret his words how do you want. It looks that you don't get Bitcoin Cash on blockchain.info automatically and you may need to make few additional steps to receive Bitcoin Cash. In your place, I would move my bitcoins out from Blockchain.nfo. You still have some time to do it.

You get automatically Bitcoin Cash because you own private keys, but Blockchain.info will stay with Bitcoin and if you want to move your BCC you'll need to use the proper client.

What is the best wallet to get BCC automatically?

What is the best wallet to get BCC automatically?

Electrum. They already made an announcement that they will be supporting Bitcoincash. They also have made a fork of the Electrum wallet called Electroncash. Hold your coins there and you can import the private keys later.

Blockchain and Electrum currently doesn't support Bitcoin Cash.

If you want Bitcoin Cash then you have to import your private keys to a BCC supported wallet like Coinomi or BTC.com wallet.

https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000013381-btc-bch-fork-how-to-collect-your-free-bch-coins

BCC wallets will require you to import your seed or your private keys,
which can be exported from Electrum. Doing so will expose all your
Bitcoin funds associated with that seed to the BCC wallet you decide
to use.

https://electrum.org/bcc.txt

"Electron Cash" is a fork of Electrum for Bitcoin Cash. Electron Cash
is not endorsed by Electrum.

The person who distributes the Electron Cash binaries has decided to remain anonymous, and uses the fake name "Jonald Fyookball" in order to sign Electron Cash binaries. Thus, if these binaries contain code that is designed to steal your bitcoins, the author of the theft will be anonymous and walk away safely with your funds.

This danger is exacerbated by the fact that the default behaviour of
Electron Cash is to silently copy all your Electrum wallets into its
own directory. Thus, if you run Electron Cash on a machine where you previously used Electrum, all your pre-existing wallets will be
available in Electron Cash, and you will only need to enter your
password in order to expose your bitcoins to potential theft.

Don't risk the privacy of your bitcoins by doing so. Move all your BTC to a new wallet with new private keys and import the old private keys to a BCC supported wallet to get free coins.

Don't confuse between similar names. Electrum and ElectronCash are made by different group of developers. Electroncash is very new and there maybe many bugs in it, who knows. You may also be at the risk of losing all your coins. Simply wait for the fork and watch how others react upon this wallet, then decide if you want to import your keys there.

Agreed. And Electron Cash is not endorsed by Electrum itself. I also read that it is a virus or something so just be careful about using it because you may lost all your bitcoins.

As per Electrum:

"Electron Cash" is a fork of Electrum for Bitcoin Cash. Electron Cash
is not endorsed by Electrum. It is open source, and binaries
(executables files) are available for Windows, OSX and
Android. However, when you run binaries instead of source code, you
have no guarantee that they match the source code. This is why wallet
binaries are usually signed by developers. A digital signature engages
the responsability of the person who signs.

The person who distributes the Electron Cash binaries has decided to
remain anonymous, and uses the fake name "Jonald Fyookball" in order
to sign Electron Cash binaries. Thus, if these binaries contain code
that is designed to steal your bitcoins, the author of the theft will
be anonymous and walk away safely with your funds.

I think Jonald is a regular of our forum but maybe someone is just using his name for all we know. Again, just be cautious of any wallet that says they are accepting BCC/BCH and you might get tempted to download it just to get this so called "free" coins but end up losing your bitcoin.

[rastoha]

WTF people?! If you dont have a clue, DONT SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION! = At least 5-7 people here wrote a total bull$hit about Blockchain.info wallet!

SO HERE THE FACTS ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN.INFO WALLET:
1) YOU OWN THE PRIVATE KEYS IN THIS WALLET = just generate the 12 word seed...
2) THEREFORE YOU WILL HAVE/GET BCC INTO YOUR BLOCKCHAIN.INFO WALLET, even if not directly supported...
3) IN CASE, THAT BLOCKCHAIN.INFO DEVELOPERS DECIDE NOT TO SUPPORT BCC IN THEIR WALLET, YOU CAN EXPORT THE BCC TO ANY BCC SUPPORTED WALLET BY USING THE 12 WORD SEED.

Thanks for this post, I was wondering what Blockchain.info's stance was on the fork.   Did any of you get two different recovery seeds for your blockchain.info wallet?

I got one in the very very beginning when first started using blockchain.info.

Then a few months ago, when the mobile app upgraded to like (a version3 wallet I think?), I think I got another different recovery seed.

I have both of them written down, but I'm not sure which one I would use in this instance (to claim bitcoin cash).


The rest of my funds are safe because they are in cold wallets elsewhere...

[sivesta]

No, you won't.

How to do that ?, which compatible wallet ?

Yes sir, my bad. Electrum does not support BCH. But the real point is if someone wants to claim his share of BCH later then it would be best to store his Bitcoins in a wallet where he controls the private key.

There a lot of articles online already that are detailing ways to claim your bitcoin cash, but many of them are suggesting to wait it out for a bit if you can.

I still have some with blockchain.info. With those funds I'm just gonna sit on the sidelines and see how this develops

[keithers]

If someone would be nice enough to take the time to write a step by step on how to export your private keys from a blockchain.info wallet into a different wallet to be able to claim their bitcoin cash, in sure a lot of people would find it very useful.

I don't know how to explain it nor have I tried it yet from that wallet so I don't know if it's possible or how easy it is to do.

I'm trying to find those step by step with images on how to claim Bitcoin cash as long you do have your private keys before the fork you will surely get your bch. I would update once I would find that one and I would say It would really be helpful. I'm not quiet sure if it would work on blockchain since that one is based on electrum steps. I didn't hear on anyone regarding on bch on blockchain.info wallet.

[ActiveP]

You control your private keys with blockchain.info, why are people sdtating otherwise? I think it best to hold and wait for a few more days, when things cool down, there will be enough recources online detailing how to split your coins.
