Do Not Use Electron Cash!

[sathvik112]

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!!!

Appreciate your sharing experience to care.
We need to wait a bit for more tested methods.
We do face a fail in a month for cloned project bitcoin cash.
Peerlist is there for electron Cash like a bug needs to be fixed by disabling auto connect and select the server that you trust to be a BCC server. I believe this will give a perfect fix.

Good thing I haven't started putting my coins on that wallet.  Thanks for letting us know this matter. We really can't trust everything unless we check for reviews.

Can someone recommend a safe wallet that doesn't contain malware like electron cash?

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!

Just go into their official website so you can see what wallet to use, there is a lot of scams so be careful.

Guys
Is there a way to get our Electroncash password?
The one i have on file doesn't work.

Well it was the first time i fire up the app! A couple of days after i transferred some BTC to it.
Heck i'm also 100% sure i'm using the right password?

Move your bitcoins before importing seeds/private keys.

I really wish all this FUD about ElectronCash would just stop... it's opensource... it's clean... it's safe... This thread should be locked.

To the best of my knowledge. Not one single person who downloaded ElectronCash from the OFFICIAL site: https://electroncash.org/#download has lost either BTC or BCH because of something that ElectronCash has done.

It is NOT the fault of ElectronCash dev's that people are stupid and download scam versions of the software from scam sites... or they're careless with their private keys/seeds... or that they have pre-existing malware/keyloggers on their computers.

Take the proper precautions ie. move your BTC to a completely new wallet, not just new addresses... a completely new wallet with new seed... BEFORE you try and get your BCH and you will have no problems.

I've been running ElectronCash since it came out in August... ALL my BTC and BCH are still safe.

Same here. Never had a problem.

I think electroncash is legit software. I tried it many times, it works badly but it at least works as intended in the end. I could deposit or sell my btc cash quite easily.

Tha bad thing about Electron Cash is that it does NOT allow you to redeem the BCC from the BTCs that you were helding in a Electrum multisig address.

Tha bad thing about Electron Cash is that it does NOT allow you to redeem the BCC from the BTCs that you were helding in a Electrum multisig address.

If that Electrum MultiSig was actually an Electrum 2FA wallet... you CAN get it out... relatively easily too... you just restore the wallet from seed and use "disable" when asked if you want to keep or disable 2FA functionality. It will then let you sign and broadcast transactions without requiring TrustedCoin.

If it was a normal MultiSig, you can still get it out... in fact, I thought they'd actually fixed it so that MultiSigs worked correctly without any issues?

Thanks for the warming and I think users of Electron Cash should tread with caution. Prevention they say is better than all!

Oh, really? I tried again and again in August but didn't try again recently. It was a multisig, 1of3, not 2FA. So you say they have fixed it? Do you also know when?

Like... a couple of days after the fork as far as I'm aware: https://github.com/fyookball/electrum/issues/67

Basically, they had some issues with signing when using MultiSig, but I'm fairly certain it got sorted out... It was just the issues with 2FA that kept going and going... mostly because people were unable to read If multisig signing wasn't working, then the restored 2FA "workaround" probably wouldn't be working (as that has to use two sigs to sign a transaction)

So, theoretically, you can either just load up a copy of your MultiSig wallet in ElectronCash, or you can attempt to recreate the MultiSig by creating a 1of3 and using the xprv and two xpubs from your Electrum MultiSig wallet.

No problems with Electron Cash.

Swept BTC wallet, got BCH in a sec, they were on Electron Cash for some time until i transferred them successfully to exchange.
No problems, easy, no hassle.

People who have problems are either wrong or they downloaded some bad versions.
I, of course, downloaded from official site and compared hash.
