Do Not Use Electron Cash!

[Barbarian]

Hi,

it is working did some tests 3 confirmations so far. See above for public address, donations welcome.

Only Problem Electron Cash can connect to Bitcoin nodes but this is an easy fix. Also only use private key where Bitcoins have been transfered away!

Thanks for the heads up, I think this is similar to the method that the forum administrator published back then, you need to first send your bitcoins to another address and that way you are left with only BCH in that address then you import that address private key to a BCH wallet and you are ready to go, Am I right?

In Electrum, after moving your BTC to a save other wallet, go to wallet-private keys-export, save the key,
Now in electroncash: file-new/restore, to the right of the wallet name suggestion click "choose" and pick the key you saved from the Electrum wallet before.

Thanks, i did this:

1. Open ElectrumCash, make new wallet
2. Restore 'use public or private keys' and put in private key
(the one where i first check blockchair of public key, then go to electrum wallet
and get private key of this public key where the bcc show up)
3. It shows 0 BCC

The point in ElectrumCash is green and 479 723 blocks. Connected to 10 nodes, Server electroncash.casharia.com.

Hello everyone. I have a problem claiming my Bitcoin cash from the private keys.

I had a BTC balance on Electrum wallet (with 2fa enabled) before and after the swap. Moved my BTC after the swap to a diff address for security reasons. Now cannot use my private keys, every wallet (Electron cash, coinomi, Bitcoin ABC ) says that there is no funds on those keys, but the block explorer confirms that my Bitcoin Cash is there: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/36XmauGXBMEMjMNbRXxmCWy1X8g9SLEwFC. What am I doing wrong? Anyone has an idea?
Thanks.

Will pay 100$ in BTC to a person who will find a solution to my problem (fyi, I don't have my seed phrase for Electrum wallet)

If you don't have seed, open your electrum wallet.dat in electron cash,(Start electron cash, in wallet option,click on choose and select your electrum wallet.dat file.)

It will work.

(Please make sure to transfer your bitcoins to a different wallet first for safety) Once your bitcoin wallet is empty, use it for bitcoin cash.

I think that in any way we use money, we have to be careful. You have to lose your fear but with cunning.

Hi, guys! Please help:

Once again: i did BCC transaction to Bittrex on Friday from Electron-cash wallet (ver. 2.9.2 downloaded from electroncash.org, 480593 blocks till now).

Didn't find any solution, only same question like mine. I wrote on Twitter to Electroncash, and received reply in which they said to provide TX ID, so i did it. It was 9 h. earlier.

But till now transaction still unconfirmed.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem? Is it safe to change server now or it may to loss my BCC.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there. So i wanted to give it a try and used a small wallet to check if electron cash is safe to use. Well it is not. I imported a wallet using all the precautions needed to save my bitcoins, and imported a small amount of bcc into the wallet. A couple of minutes later the bcc were sent away like magic. Farewell...

So be carefull!!!

Here's a screenshot

i am new to ubuntu and look for help

how to install electroncash wallet 2.9.3 after download and extraction?

[globe-biz]

Is Electron Cash still clashing with Electrum on the same machine / PC?

In electrum I do not see a tab marked "wallet" maybe you have a newer version?
I found a way to get private keys from the addresses but I wanted to know if there is one central key to export that would make things easier because if I have to extract the private keys from each address it is about 70 addresses

[Chip-Dale]

It's a very complex project. It is difficult to manage it

Yes, he also seemed to me very difficult. Therefore, I do not use this service. There are better projects with a very user-friendly interface

And has anyone looked at the source code of electron cash to verify it is safe?

I think this is fixed in 2.9.4 (https://electroncash.org)

2.9.4 also has the new difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA), which it needs to verify the headers (electron-cash is a SPV wallet, so it needs to do that). Electron-Cash users will need to update to this version for the Nov. 13th hardfork.

And has anyone looked at the source code of electron cash to verify it is safe?

What Nov. 13 hardfork? Segwit2x was canceled, but even if not, that was a split off bitcoin, and bitcoin gold is also a split from bitcoin. So bitcoin cash should not be affected?
