Do Not Use Electron Cash!

[djukica666]

AFAIK you shouldn't have any problems with that from latest versions.
you can always split by using VM with linux mint for example on top of your windows.
that's how I use it.

How bout using electrum and electron in 1 computer?

There is no issue with this... They use different install and different data directories... so anything you do with one will not affect the other. You can even run Electrum and ElectronCash at the same time.

Tried sending some Bitcoin cash from ElectronCase 3.0 today after importing private keys from older Bitcoin wallet.

But when I try to send I get an error message with the words 'missing inputs' in it?

Is this partly to do with the fact that it still says "Synchronizing..." in the corner?  Seems to be taking forever to fully synchronize, hmm...

[HCP]

Most likely, yes...

It would seem that your wallet still thinks it has certain inputs which have already been spent on the blockchain, so the server you're trying to send through is rejecting because it can see they're spent.

You might want to check what server you're connected to. Earlier versions of ElectronCash had a bad habit of connecting to BTC servers If it isn't synchronised within 10 minutes, something is seriously wrong.

[Arksun1]

Restarting it did the trick in the end, was stuck on synchronizing forever but after that was fine

Hello, I had problems with electron cash, already solved. I also helped a group of friends recover the bch / bcc from their wallets. If anyone has problems too, you can call me at leonardquintela@gmail.com. I know how annoying the situation is. hugs.

[djukica666]

and taking into consideration that this is your first post here and you are offering someone to "call you" we should take this seriously?
for real?

I wouldn't even reply to this kind of nonsense but I'm afraid that there are too many crypto newbies around last few months so this is heads up for them.

cheers.

I used it. Now I have $$ of BCH

Easy mony

What a bunch of cutthroats.

On the other hand, whoever believes this kind of people, kind of deserve to get ripped off by them.

Just to confirm, no issues with EC after 20 days using it.

Yeah, I see this thread come up in my watched threads, and I haven't really bothered to do it but...

I can confirm after using Electron Cash quite a bit, it does work fine and I've had no problems at all. But as always, do your own homework. But in my experience, it's worked A-okay.

Did you guys use electron cash on same computer as your electrum?

[BitJunkie556]

I have, and it shouldn't really interfere. Don't worry about it too much.

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

maybe this is one of the failed programs and is a bad start for a project. so I would consider using it.

I verified the sha256 hash, but how do I verify the signature? Can someone post the linux commands?

[MaxyC]

I can confirm Electron Cash has worked for me and it was dead simple. I was reluctant after reading some of the earlier comments in this thread but after sending my previous BTC to a Ledger first and then trying the bitcoin.com wallet (insists that my password is wrong!) and Exodus (just doesn't work), I bit the bullet with Electron Cash which at least in my case seems to have worked just fine.

Anyone? It now seems important to be able to verify the signatures, given that there are fakes around. There is a false bitcoin gold project that steals people's private keys, that purports to be the same writer as electron cash. Will not post the link because it is a scam.

The short and relatively simple version would be something like:

1. Download Jonald Fyookball's public key from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/master/pubkeys/jonaldkey2.txt

2. Import the key to gpg using:

Code:

sudo gpg --import /path/to/savedfile/jonaldkey2.txt

3. Download the appropriate "sig" file from here: https://github.com/fyookball/keys-n-hashes/tree/master/sigs-and-sums/3.0/win-linux

4. Verify the file

Code:

sudo gpg --verify ElectronCash-3.0.tar.gz.sig ElectronCash-3.0.tar.gz

NOTES:
- ensure the .sig file and the tar.gz are both in the folder where you execute commandline syntax above
- gpg: Good signature from "Jonald Fyookball <jonf@electroncash.org>"  should be displayed after step 4.
- You can safely ignore:

Code:

gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.

It just means you have not "vouched" for Jonald's key... as long as you see 'Good signature from "Jonald Fyookball <jonf@electroncash.org>"' It is OK.

Thank you for the warning.

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 should 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.

Hello,

I downloaded electron-cash-2.9.3 wallet In October.
When I opened this wallet, it  found my Electrum BTC wallet and asked for password.
After typing password I saw Bitcoin Cash in equivalent of BTC balance I had in August.
So this wallet automatically imported my private key from Electrum...

In October I have no BTC on that Electrum wallet (I transfered it all to exchanges).
But now I want to withdraw bitcoins to this wallet...

Will it be safe to use Electrum BTC and Electron Cash wallets with the same address on the same PC?
Or it will be better to create new BTC wallet in Electrum?
