Do Not Use Electron Cash!

[mylosol]

i just swept my wallet with coinomi with no trouble at all.

as it's well established maybe try that instead?

I'm not exactally sure how you accomplished this because according to their own F.A.Q.

Unfortunately the Electrum seed is not compatible with BIP32/BIP44 which is essentially what Coinomi implements so no, you cannot import your Electrum seed into Coinomi at the moment, although this might be possible in the future.

Same here coins away Electron worked as advertised, no more BCH for me.

[hashashin]

does someone got a password already attributed with electron cash? I did and I dont know why ,and how to change this password :/

edit: just created a new wallet and imported directly my private key, everything ok  !

Does it truly copy wallets from other electrum installations?

I am using portable electrum and store files on usb stick so I suppose I am safe from that right?

It seems it copies them only for convenience, but if you're using portable wallets then you don't need to worry about that. Just make sure you choose the server manually when you run it the first time, to make sure you get a BCH server and not a BTC one.

Hey guys! I thought i got hacked cause it happend the same to me, bcc where gone.

I now had unclicked the automatic botton, how do i recover my bcc? Do i have to create a new wallet? In electron cash i go to network, unclick automatic and then? Should i do something more? Select a particular server?

Thanks for the help.

Right click on server with the lower number since bcc is behind in blockchain.

No new wallet needed. Also your coins are in the chain not the wallet.

It happened to me too. My BCC was found in the BCC Blockchain but was not received in my Electron Wallet.

Just chiming in to say I've used Electron Cash several times now, and sent a transaction once. Worked every time. One time it did start up on the wrong block chain, but I just manually corrected it per:

So yeah, Electron Cash works just fine. Mostly.

This is a problem I have with Electrum as well, but back when I was mining, I have one address that had 600+ transactions. I managed to consolidate them down in Electrum and send them to my new Electrum wallet.

But when I try to send off my BCC using Electron Cash, the whole wallet hangs up when I import that address's private key... It's a nightmare. So I essentially have a whole BTC in that address that is stuck for the time being.

I've tried about 10 times to get it working with no results. I'm even thinking of downloading the entire blockchain with bitcoin unlimited to send it that way, but it's gonna' take a while. o_o

I assume you didn't do this consolidation until after the fork? If so, you may truly be stuck until a fix is released. If you consolidated before the fork, you should be able to use the seed from your new Electrum wallet in an instance of Electron Cash. That should work because the consolidation should've resulted in just a single UTXO.

Just out of curiousity, what happens when it hangs? Is it still using CPU time per a task manager? If it is still grinding away on the CPU, maybe let it sit for a long while and see what happens.

Electrum used to have a "coin control" functionality, but it looks like it has lost that capability at some point. That would've allowed you to send each individual UTXO from among the 600+, but I don't know whether that would've of worked in any case.

Edit: You have the right idea in that your final option would be to download and sync a full node wallet, and then import that private key. I assume you meant you'd download the Bitcoin Cash version of Bitcoin Unlimited.

Hmm, I just figured out that on current Electrum wallets, coin control is hidden by hiding the "Addresses" tab. To view it, hit CTRL+A. The problem is, this functionality seems to be missing from Electron Cash.

EDIT: Perhaps CTRL+A doesn't work on my Electron Cash because it has only a single non-zero UTXO right now. If I learn differently, I'll update.

Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

The transaction was rejected by network rules. (16: mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Signature must use SIGHASH FORKID ))

[remedcu]

so how many people have had a successful bcash transaction using electron cash so far?

I used electron cash, and it gave me no trouble. I just imported my private key and as soon as it connected, I send the coins to be sold.

P.S. I send my BTC to another address before adding the private key with 6+ confirmations in the BTC blockchain, just to be sure.

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!!!

Thanks w0t4n for this brief advice.

The reason for that is a simple error by the user not choosing the right node, nothing is gone. Mentioned here a million times.
Sadly they never report back when they see the mistake.

[fokilpt]

Working just fine for me, except the 20 connections nonsense heeh

[Roccker]

Argh, it shows 0 bcc

What I did:
1. Had electrum wallet where i had bitcoin from 31st to 2nd

(exact times: put bitcoins in adress at 31.7    17:00h, put them out again at 2.8 11:00h)
(sent the bitcoin to other adress)

2. went to 'used addresses' in electrum and copy pasted private keys
There were 2

3. Uninstalled electrum cash and deleted the electrum folder in the roaming shared folder on c:

4.  Installed electrum cash

5. chose 'manual server', took casharia

6. made new standard wallet

7. chose 'use public or private keys'

8. put in the 2 private keys in, each one in his own line (pressed 'enter' after first)

9. Expect bcc to show up but are not there


(bitcoin wallets were 2 factor authentification, that is irrelevant is it)

[also electrum cash does not appear in my list of programs that i can uninstall]

[DocSnyd3r]

What does a BCH chain explorer say about you bch balance?

[Roccker]

Thanks!

Blockdozer says

0 bcc at my original bitcoin wallet
0 bcc at my bcc wallet where i 'imported' the private keys

i posted in this this thread 2 days ago that my buddy's experience with 2FA and electron cash was a fail.
