How to get Bitcoin Cash from many wallet/software/services with Coinomi

[HostFat]

Warning:
Some of those operation can put your private keys at risks.
It's better if you do them on a secure computer, that you are sure that there aren't any virus/trojan.
If you aren't sure about this, you should prepare a better machine where doing all of those things.

FIRST STEP THAT YOU MUST DO BEFORE DOING ANY OF THOSE THINGS
You have to transfer your Bitcoin on a new wallet, again a new wallet not on a new address of the same wallet.
This must be done because you are going to extract your private keys, and so putting them at risks.
So, by moving your bitcoin "before" exposing your private kets, the risks is less, maybe you are only going to lose Bitcoin Cash. (if there some virus/trojan on your computer)


1) Install Coinomi on your phone (it must be v1.7.2.3 or upper)
2) Add a Bitcoin Cash wallet on it
3) Go to balance, and click the upper right 3 dots.

Hi
Any advices for Armory wallet 0.96.1, please ?
Thank you very much :-)

I don't know very well how Armory works.
Maybe you have only to get the private keys, then convert them to qrcodes, and then follow those steps:
1) Install Coinomi on your phone (it must be v1.7.2.3 or upper)
2) Add a Bitcoin Cash wallet on it
3) Go to balance, and click the upper right 3 dots.
4) Select "Sweep wallet"
5) Be ready to do it with qrcodes

[doremi]

what is the differences between the wallet of Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Core 2 may i ask please?

[DLS123]

To clarify, do I have to make an entirely NEW wallet, or can I send my BTC  FROM electrum to my ledger  in an existing wallet, then sweep my Electrum private keys with coinomi?  I mean the main objective is to just not do it in the same wallet, with same private keys right?

[vingaard]

Wouldn't it be safer to move BTC to another wallet first, as instructed by Electrum?
Any chance that after moving BCH something get mixed up and we loose BTC?

First of all you have to move all your BTC to another wallet (not another address of the same wallet)... wait several confirmations and after this you can do these things in order to claim your BCH.

[HostFat]

@DLS123
Yes.
Your Electrum wallet and the ledger wallet are two different wallet, so no, you don't need to create an entire new wallet.

I have bitcoin-qt installed in my pc and my btc is in it.
Does bitcoin-qt belong to Bitcoin Core?
Another question: How do I install a new bitcoin-qt wallet in my pc since I already have one?
Do I have to install another kind of wallet and download all the blocks again?

I am not sure if I get it.
Do you mean I should install another kind of wallet and set the date using -datadir=<dir>?
Would u please elaborate it?

[ZeroWithEverything]

You have to transfer your Bitcoin on a new wallet, again a new wallet not on a new address of the same wallet.
1) Install Coinomi on your phone (it must be v1.7.2.3 or upper)

Would there be any issues with transferring the bitcoins to a new Coinami wallet (from blockchain.info) before sweeping BCH with Conami?

[nekochan05]

did all step with my electrum address & follow adding step from coinomi medium that i should fill the derivation path with M/44H/0H/0H
and the result is "The private keys does not contain any funds" (of course i have no btc on my electrum now)

they got my private key now
i can't claim my BCH now?  

[bitscointalker]

1) Install Coinomi on your phone (it must be v1.7.2.3 or upper)
2) Add a Bitcoin Cash wallet on it
3) Go to balance, and click the upper right 3 dots.
4) Select "Sweep wallet"
5) Be ready to do it with qrcodes

HostFat: thanks for your kind explanation but I still want to be sure before proceeding.
I've added the BCH wallet in Coinomi but I can read:
"Important Information
Learn how to collect your (free) BitcoinCash coins"
so when I tap into this field I go to a page where I'm told:
"A pop-up dialogue will appear, asking if BitcoinCash should be added. Hit the “ADVANCED SETTINGS” button. If you clicked “Add” instead you need to delete your BitcoinCash wallet and add a new one. In the “Derivation Path” please enter: M/44H/0H/0H - Please note that the characters before “H” are zeroes and not O’s. You will see a greyed path with the same characters. This is just a sample, do NOT assume the path is already typed, please click on the line and start typing the complete text M/44H/0H/0H manually."
Now, just to know, I don't have to care about this message as long as I'm importing a private key from a wallet created before 1st of august?
Thanks again for your precious help.

[HostFat]

@standards
If you want to avoid to download all the blockchain again, just use Coinomi.

@ZeroWithEverything
No. No issues.

[galileo634]

Hi. I have my BTCs in a paper wallet. I use iOS and Mac OS X. How can I claim my BCCs?

[Flat.E]

Thanks @HostFat for the list, if you or anyone else was able to get BCH from the android "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" -which  only gives a 12 word seed-, to Coinomi, please let me know.

[HostFat]

Flat.E

Try with https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/blob/master/bip39-standalone.html again.

[maeusi]

I am not sure, what is the result of this. Can we gain BCH multiple times instead of one time? If yes, who will pay for this? Or will we gain BCH that are not claimed?

[Flat.E]

Flat.E

Try with https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/blob/master/bip39-standalone.html again.

Thanks, but I just get a page full of plain txt, is this page doing the same?

EDIT deleted link for security reasons...Though so far my BCH are still in their place of origin 

[HostFat]

You have to download it, right click -> Save as ...

Don't use other websites, they can take your money.

[DLS123]

Have BCH in Coinomi, but it wont let me send them off it to my ledger.  Getting an error "Bch is currently unavailable"  

Any suggestions?

[zous]

I have some bitcoin in blockchain wallet, I mean I transfer from  a wallet address to the wallet itself, So the addresses don't have bitcoin into in, where they have? because of that wehn I scan the code it not bitcoin there, so I can't transfer to coinmi

[bumpbumpbumpbump]

did all step with my electrum address & follow adding step from coinomi medium that i should fill the derivation path with M/44H/0H/0H
and the result is "The private keys does not contain any funds" (of course i have no btc on my electrum now)

they got my private key now
i can't claim my BCH now?  

On the addresses tab, expand Receiving, and then expand Used. The addresses under the Used tab will have some Tx number associated with it. Use those addresses to view the private key. I was having trouble with Coinomi and Electrum, but then I realized I was trying to sweep addresses that haven't been used.

[Olyalya]

Hello! Tell me, please, when you transfer coins to the wallet Jaxx he always gives a new address, as it should be?

[Lauda]

Any idea how to spend from a Copay multisig wallet? It uses BIP44 derivation, and I haven't been able to find a solution for this other than manually getting to the redeem script, and manually constructing a transaction and hashing it via the changes done by BCH. This would take too much time and would probably not result in success.

[HostFat]

There is a new version of Exodus
http://support.exodus.io/knowledge_base/topics/how-do-i-claim-bitcoin-cash

[alifrenstein]

So, now that ShapeShift supports Bitcoin Cash (BCH) too, is it possible to exchange BCH to BTC using Coinomi in-app exchange?

[maeusi]

I would not recomnend that. Had a bad experience on exchanging doge to bitcoin. Maybe a bug, but if not, then exchange fees are very high or exchange rates are unplenty.
But to answer your question: Yes, it is possible to exchange BCH to BTC on coinomi.

My advice is, to begin an exchange on coinomi and look what they would pay. But don't complete the exchange. Compare that first with other exchange rates.

Finally got that page you suggested working on another laptop, the qr's are read by Coinomi, but it says it doesn't recognize any of the key's format. Do I need to choose a specific "client" maybe?

EDIT:   I see my BCH are still there.......https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin%20cash/

Added - Bitcoin Wallet (Android)

Success! You can add "Simple Bitcoin Wallet" (Android) too, same procedure as MultibitHD.

[standards]

since  the current market price is not that attractive.
I will just wait, no hurry to activate my BCH. It might surprise me some day.

For breadwallet, how do I download and excute the github standalone html file? When I click on download it just shows me a huge html??

This is exactly what i did and i still get the msg that the wallet is empty. i dont know what else to try

No coins found from blockchain.info wallet

Transferred funds, used bip39 standalone as instructed with my 12 phrase pass key, and tried numerous private keys.
All came up with no coins.

For breadwallet, how do I download and excute the github standalone html file? When I click on download it just shows me a huge html??

I could only open it and get a working page on another laptop, don't know what's different there, maybe java against no java installed. So try on another computer or phone.

[yonton]

Breadwallet. So I entered my extended private key in coinomi swipe wallet. Error could not recognize key format? Am I suppose to enter extended private key? On standalone ,when I scroll down from extended key I have hundreds of derived addresses?

Click on key part most left of those addresses, it will give a qt to scan, sweep wallet on Coinomi and scan the qt, click next to see if the addresses hold bch. Go down the list scanning the addresses keys till you found all your bch.

[yonton]

Ok So I have 20 addresses I went through each one and all say no funds. I had bitcoin on breadwallet. I sent the bitcoin to a different wallet yesterday. Shouldn't my bch be left in my breadwallet?

I am sweeping in coinomi bch wallet but according to this message below, should I be sweeping in to coinomi btc wallet?


"- I have created a BCH wallet and sweeped a BTC wallet that was funded before the fork into my BCH Coinomi wallet. I don't see the funds.


You should sweep it into BTC in coinomi, not BCH. First, go to your BTC overview tab, and sweep the BTC key into your BTC wallet by clicking on .../Sweep Wallet. Then, long-press your created BCH wallet from your overview tab and click on the trash icon to delete it. Then follow these instructions to add a BCH wallet correctly and you will automatically see your BCH equivalent for the sweeped BTC wallet. "

When Increase the number of derived addresses in the show space they just keep coming. I put in show 500 and 500 derived addresses come up something is not right?

[yonton]

I checked blockdozer and my bch cash is still in my breadwallet addresses

[Vaslime]

1) Install Coinomi on your phone (it must be v1.7.2.3 or upper)
2) Add a Bitcoin Cash wallet on it
3) Go to balance, and click the upper right 3 dots.
4) Select "Sweep wallet"
5) Be ready to do it with qrcodes


sweep wallet ask for private key what will i input in here?

[yonton]

That's what I did. The problem I'm having is that the derived addresses and keys are not correct.

On standalone

I'm entering my 12 words in BIP39 Mnemonic space
Im choosing bip32
Im choosing multibit hd

None of the derived addresses have funds in them according to blockdozer
None of the derived addresses correspond with any addresses in my breadwallet transactions
I'm getting infinite derived addresses when I adjust show addresses  (amount)

[Flat.E]

That's what I did. The problem I'm having is that the derived addresses and keys are not correct.

On standalone

I'm entering my 12 words in BIP39 Mnemonic space
Im choosing bip32
Im choosing multibit hd

You have to set the bip32 tab first, then choose multibit, then put in mnemonic code, if you use wrong sequence it will give wrong output. Shut the page down, and restart it if you took the wrong sequence or it will give failed answers.

ps I sent BTC on 08-01 at 4.02am, BTC arrived but the address is not showing up in mycelium's BCH addresses at all with the above method, the one with 4 and 3 BCH did, but the 0.028 BCH are in a BTC address that is visible in Mycelium itself, in a BCH explorer, but nowhere else. Lost I guess, but no big loss

[Lontonbit]

Did that sequence made no difference at all. Same output no matter what sequence.

[Lontonbit]

I found the addresses that contain bch buy corresponding the sent btc addresses (post fork) in my breadwallet. I had 26 addresses. Than I had to search through hundreds of derived addresses on both normal addresses m/0'/0 and change addresses m/0'/1 and find each of the 26 addresses containing bch. You can check each address on blockdozer to see if an address contains bch.

ill try this one up thanks for this do you have an idea when i sweep wallet and asking for passphrase key what would i put into it?

[btchunt]

Hi guys,

Noob here, just got one question. When you mention that you have to move your BTC to a new wallet before claiming your BCC, does it have to be a completely new wallet or can I use a wallet for my BTC, which I have used before (blockchain.info)?

[Lauda]

Any idea how to spend from a Copay multisig wallet?

If someone needs help with that, contact me. I figured it out.

That's what I did. The problem I'm having is that the derived addresses and keys are not correct.
-snip-

Maybe you should check the derivation path (in case that you haven't) of your wallet provider. If you enter the wrong path in the tool, you won't get the same addresses.

[svirby]

I have my btc and corresponding bch on 2 paper wallets. If i understand correct i can do the following (?):

1. sweep both paperwallets from btc
2. send btc to a new paperwallet. (new paperwallet is new wallet right?)
3. sweep the 2 emtpy paperwallets for bch

problem is now that i have an iphone and this coinomi app doesnt exist for iphone. Is there another app wich you can use to sweep bch from a paperwallet?

[Edouard23]

Hello Guy !
I need some help ! )
I have a BTC adress with BTC inside BEFORE the fork
I have moved my BTC AFTER the fork to another adress
Now i try to claim my BCC from my original adress
I have test adress  to Blockdozer : they contain BCC
I have created a BCC wallet with Coinomi android app
but when i try to sweeped my adress with my private key , invariablely they say : no fund on this adress

I don t know what i need to try  !

Thanks to take time for me !

1) Install Coinomi on your phone (it must be v1.7.2.3 or upper)

Thank you for a proper tutorial and even more thanks for (finally) pointing me to a proper lite wallet.

I was not very active these days and I've found this only now, after 24h+ of struggling with the full wallet (which, although I closed it properly, decided to not recognize anymore the 64GB blockchain data, great, isn't it?) and after previously trying to get to the electrum compatible wallet which I cannot load (DNS error).

I am still surprised that the link to Coinomi wallet is not present on BCC announcement, under wallets (edit: I mean, I've seen something about coinomi there, but I thought it's just a web service, I just don't know everything). Do you want me to write you in the other topic "thank you for wasting my time"?

[Flat.E]

Hello Guy !
I need some help ! )
I have a BTC adress with BTC inside BEFORE the fork
I have moved my BTC AFTER the fork to another adress

How many addresses' private keys have you tried, I found coins at several addresses down the row. And some addresses are never found even if I load 500 of them with the option below the addresses/priv.key lines.

[Roseycat]

I have bitcoin in a core wallet.
Can I send my bitcoin to my new Trezor wallet.
Will this affect me claiming my bitcoin cash if they are moved.
I am not technical and I'm waiting for someone to help me get
my bitcoin cash but I want to move my original bitcoin to keep them safe.

Yes, you can and have to move your BTC out before you use a tool to claim BCH from your old address, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2062488.0

Hi,

I'm following the steps for Multibit HD.
When I enter my 12 letters I get lots of private keys.

Do I have to scan each QC code? to find out which private keys hold my bitcoin cash??
I've only manage to find some so far :-(

That's the idea.....
Check your addresses for  BCH here, https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin%20cash/. To speed the search on the page where you find your priv. keys up a bit, load 200 addresses and do ctrl-F (browser find function) and search for the addresses that showed coin one by one.

[Flat.E]

Thanks for the reply but i still need a little more guidance.

When you say Check your addresses for  BCH here, https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin%20cash/

i'm not sure i understand.  i put my "receive" wallet address into the site but just got a graph??
i get the ctrl +f bit but just need to find out what addresses have BHC in them??

The bip39.html is showing me thousands of private keys.  my arms gonna fall of if i've gotta scan each of these codes.

Please help!

You have to put in addresses that had BTC before the fork of August 1, I only get a graph with addresses that don't have or ever had BCH, like addresses made and used after the fork. If addresses have or had BCH, you will see lines with input and output dates for made transactions.

About the amount of addresses, that's why I said find those addresses, in your BTC wallets, that had BTC before the fork to narrow your search.

Thank you!

Very helpful info. Folks, get yer BCH!

No, don't know a thing about ios, seems breadwallet is working on a bch wallet for ios. Coinomi, for android, does a good job sweeping paper wallets.

No, don't know a thing about ios, seems breadwallet is working on a bch wallet for ios. Coinomi, for windows, does a good job sweeping paper wallets.

Currently, I am attempting to use the breadwallet for IOS.

I had bought a ledger nano s, and I was going to use that to split my coins from my blockchain.info wallet, after reseeding the blockchain.info wallet to the ledger nano s.

For some reason the ledger nano s only showed 11 addresses out of my 57 blockchain.info addresses, so after I wrote to blockchain.info and ledger support, I was NOT able to resolve the issue. Ledger support did not even respond to my message.  Thus, I decided to try the breadwallet based on having had read the above post.

So, initially after I installed the breadwallet (version 0.6.9 which was just released yesterday) onto my iphone and input the 12 blockchain.info seed words, it is taking a real long time to sync.  It has been more than an hour, and it has only synced 55%  I am afraid to touch the Iphone during this process.. So I will see in another hour, perhaps, whether it shows all of my blockchain.info bitcoin addresses and whether I can split the coins from the bread wallet. 

Apparently, the new feature in today's release of the breadwallet was some kind of ability to split or to send BCH (still in the process of confirming)

Further, at the same time, I thought that the long sync times of the breadwallet could be helping me to troubleshoot the issue with the ledger nano s.  Therefore, I decided to erase my ledger nano s, and to attempt to sync it again.  I had been thinking that I might have done something to cut off the ledger nano s in the middle of the synchronization process and that could have been the reason why it only showed 11 out of 57 of my bitcoin addresses... O.k... as I was typing this message the ledger nano s completed syncing (a second time), and it did not show me any additional bitcoin addresses on the second attempt.  Whoo hoo, 60% synced on the breadwallet, now.

[Casabrandy]

Sweep is not available on mobile app of electrum, I still download the portable version in windows in able to get the private key out from my wallet seed. But this thread is great, I'm having problem on what BCH wallet to used since there are many malicious wallet on the web, I never imagine that coinomi wallet will be helpful for claiming BCH. Thumbs up to OP.

Seems as if I am fucked with each thing that I try in which I am trying to save myself from exporting private keys into any of these possible BCH wallets (I wasn't considering coinomi because I don't have an android)

The bread wallet seems cool as hell, but it did not show my 57 BTC addresses from my reseeded blockchain.info wallet.

It took the breadwallet about 5 hours to sync in total, so I thought that I was going to be in luck, and I was getting excited to see all my 57 blockchain.info wallet addresses... but didn't happen.

 So I am thinking that my next option is to get the Trezor, since the blockchain.info support rep said that he had used the trezor to gain access to his blockchain coins. maybe I should follow up with blockchain.info again? 

I am just trying to avoid exporting my private keys into one of those BCH wallets (and I am not sure how to do that, either - when we talk about private keys, are we talking about the 12 recovery words that blockchain.info is using or is there another way?  Of course, I would want to transfer my BTC out of those addresses first), but I might have to consider that as a possibility, if these other options are not getting me anywhere.  I have some difficulties believing that one of the BCH wallets is going to recognize all 57 bitcoin addresses, if I cannot get some of these more established wallets to recognize  - call me a skeptic. 

Maybe I am making this too complicated in my quest for easy options?

Electroncash worked perfect for me, the only wallet that found my "missing" address that the stand-alone priv. key retriever never produced, even if I loaded 1000 addresses. So move your btc elsewhere and:
In electroncash: file-new/restore, pick a name-next, standard wallet-next, "I already have a seed"-next, enter seed words- under option check bip39, next etc.

O.k.  Maybe I will try this.

Remember I have 57 address in total and 24 addresses that have bitcoins on them (actually 25 now), and I will move all of the BTC from each of the 25 addresses (possibly to my ledger nano s), then after I am completely comfortable that the ledger nano s is showing all the bitcoins (maybe 6-10 confirmations), then I will create the electron cash wallet and enter in my blockchain.info wallet 12 word seed into that BCH wallet, and see if the BCH show up on there. 

That might be the easiest and quickest solution to attempt to access these mysterious BCH, and likely safe (to see the BCH that should be present on 23 of those addresses - 23 of the addresses had bitcoin on them on august 1 at the time of the forkening). 

I am juggling a few things, and I will report back once I do this.. might take me a day or so (unless I change my mind in the chickening out process... hahahahaha).

Warning:
Some of those operation can put your private keys at risks.
It's better if you do them on a secure computer, that you are sure that there aren't any virus/trojan.
If you aren't sure about this, you should prepare a better machine where doing all of those things.

FIRST STEP THAT YOU MUST DO BEFORE DOING ANY OF THOSE THINGS
You have to transfer your Bitcoin on a new wallet, again a new wallet not on a new address of the same wallet.
This must be done because you are going to extract your private keys, and so putting them at risks.
So, by moving your bitcoin "before" exposing your private kets, the risks is less, maybe you are only going to lose Bitcoin Cash. (if there some virus/trojan on your computer)

ok i have solved my problem
it was a question of private key format
the private key extract from blockchain.info is a compressed key format
i have use bitaddress.org to convert in "standard" private key format
then import it in electroncash !
and its works ! i have claim my bcc !
good luck !

Hello Guy !
I need some help ! )
I have a BTC adress with BTC inside BEFORE the fork
I have moved my BTC AFTER the fork to another adress
Now i try to claim my BCC from my original adress
I have test adress  to Blockdozer : they contain BCC
I have created a BCC wallet with Coinomi android app
but when i try to sweeped my adress with my private key , invariablely they say : no fund on this adress

I don t know what i need to try  !

Thanks to take time for me !

How many addresses' private keys have you tried, I found coins at several addresses down the row. And some addresses are never found even if I load 500 of them with the option below the addresses/priv.key lines.

Do not use sites like these, there's plenty warnings going on using that site, even offline pages doing this should be used with small amounts first, and maybe even only small mounts at all.

[JayJuanGee]

Flat e do you know any bch wallet for iphone wich can import a private key from a paperwallet?

No, don't know a thing about ios, seems breadwallet is working on a bch wallet for ios. Coinomi, for android, does a good job sweeping paper wallets.

Can you use Coinomi for inputting 12 word seed from blockchain.info backup of wallet?

[njahanbin]

Great information. Very helpful.

I am hoping you can help some more  

I am trying to import from Multibit classic.  I have exported the private key but when I try to sweep it in Coinomi I get the following error.  What are my options?

"The transaction is bigger than what the network allows, try sending a different amount"
I suspect this is due to this wallet having lots of transacitons (was used for mining).  My other multibit classic wallets imported fine.

Thanks,

Tip for Mycelium users or anyone that needs to use the Bip39 standalone tool

- Mycelium
1) Download and execute this: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/blob/master/bip39-standalone.html (Right click and Save as...)
2) On "BIP39 Mnemonic" space you have to insert the seed of your wallet, the 12 words.
3) You will get the list of your addresses and their private keys.
4) By going with the cursor on a private key, the page will show the qrcode. Sweep it with Coinomi


Within the mycelium app and many other wallets there is a way to see your unspent outputs.
Within mycelium this is under the accounts > ... >show unspent outputs.

When you bring up the derived addresses in the bip39 page.  Get it to show many addresses (I did 500).  Then search the page for the public keys from the unspent output list and only sweep the private keys related to that.  That way you don't have to sweep every key to find out if there is a balance.

This saves considerable amount of time.  For some reason I had few that didn't show up even with 500 keys.  Not sure why.

I am using Electrum wallet with 2FA. i tried to sweep the private key with Coinomi and come up with nothing. the address starts with 3xxxxxxxxxx. is this the reason that Coinomi doesn't work? anyone has the same problem. please someone can advise.


I get the BCC from Blockchain.info using BTC.com BCC wallet, people from blockchain.info can use the to claim BCC and dont need to find their private key.
Bad news is only support blockchain.info or mycelium.

I used that very process with BTC.com, and imported my 12 words seed from my blockchain.info wallet, and after I input the 12-word seed, and clicked on next, I received a dialogue box that said, "searching for positive balance, this could take a few minutes" and then soon thereafter I received another dialogue box that said  "no positive balance found."

[mccampser]

When you bring up the derived addresses in the bip39 page.  Get it to show many addresses (I did 500).  Then search the page for the public keys from the unspent output list and only sweep the private keys related to that.  That way you don't have to sweep every key to find out if there is a balance.

This saves considerable amount of time.  For some reason I had few that didn't show up even with 500 keys.  Not sure why.

maybe someone can help.... i have extracted already 160.000 private keys from my 12 word seed (Multibit hd) with bip39-standalone tool - but i dont know which one really containes some balance.
how do you get information of which key conatins balance ?

i import the keys via batch bitcoin-cli. on this way i can add about 35000 keys a day to my wallet.
but the outcome from the previous 160.000 keys was 0 !

over all i am not sure if this is the right way - when i add the 12 word seed to electroncash restore, i get wrong balance. my last two BTC payment are now on BCC factor 100 greater than before in BTC. (Payment of -0.01BTC befor 01/08/2017 appears after restore in BCC as -1.00BCC)

I don't know the answer to your earlier question, but the latter question (in bold above) seems to be a matter of setting the unit properly.   Which would be going to menu, tools, preferences, appearance and then selecting the unit.  Mine does not have 100 x unit but it does have a 1000x unit and a 1 millionx unit

To get your BitcoinCash (BCH) from Bitcoin (BTC) from your Blockchain wallet, you may refer to the step-by-step guide with screenshot at http://www.coinpurveyor.com/how-to/how-to-claim-bitcoin-cash-from-blockchain-wallet/.

[angaper]

Only now that the recent hardfork made me see the importance of the private keys, I learned the inconvenience of having Bitcoins stored in wallets like Xapo, which is the sole owner of such keys and refuse by all means to give them away. There is nothing more to wait until they fulfill their promise to grant us access to our BCH when they have it available.

To get your BitcoinCash (BCH) from Bitcoin (BTC) from your Blockchain wallet, you may refer to the step-by-step guide with screenshot at http://www.coinpurveyor.com/how-to/how-to-claim-bitcoin-cash-from-blockchain-wallet/.

I don't have access to android to verify this; however, from the article, it appears that I am currently not going to be able to claim any BCH through this procedure because I moved my Bitcoins after August 1 into other addresses.  The article says that the BCH are no longer going to be available through the blockchain.info seed if the Bitcoins are moved after August 1.

In other articles, I was informed that I should move my Bitcoins first before claiming the BCH through various BCH wallets - maybe those were other kinds of wallets?  So does that mean that when I moved my BTC (after August 1), then my BCH are completely gone from my blockchain.info addresses (wallet), or could there be another way to claim them?

Flat e do you know any bch wallet for iphone wich can import a private key from a paperwallet?

No, don't know a thing about ios, seems breadwallet is working on a bch wallet for ios. Coinomi, for android, does a good job sweeping paper wallets.

Can you use Coinomi for inputting 12 word seed from blockchain.info backup of wallet?

I tried it with a mycelium seed only, and it did not recognize the format if I recall right. Electroncash however loaded all addresses with the bch in seconds, but that's a windows program.

Wallets that had BTC before the split, august 1 12.00UST, still have the BCH. Wallets that got BTC sent to them after the split, only got BTC, the BCH never moved from the pre-split wallets.
Moving BTC out of wallets that have BTC and BCH is a safety measure you need to take before using programs that can read/import priv.keys and claim and move your BCH from those pre-split wallets.

Electroncash worked perfect for me, the only wallet that found my "missing" address that the stand-alone priv. key retriever never produced, even if I loaded 1000 addresses. So move your BTC elsewhere and:
In electroncash: file-new/restore, pick a name-next, standard wallet-next, "I already have a seed"-next, enter seed words- under option check bip39, next etc.

Thank you Flat e - but I had already done that exact method that you describe above through Electron cash.  I followed the instructions exactly, and it shows absolutely no BCH addresses in the program (even though there should have been 57 addresses at the time of the August 1 fork.

 33 of my blockchain.info addresses had bitcoins on August 1, at the time of the fork.   When I do the same procedure with electrum, the electrum wallet shows 1 bitcoin address of the 57 addresses, and it does not show any other address.  That one address has no balance with the latest transaction of a withdraw of the whole address in November 2016, so that particular address would not have had bitcoins (or BCH) at the time of the August 1 fork.   Anyhow, I was thinking that the electron cash wallet might have a similar address recognition problem as electrum in that electron cash is not recognizing all of my 57 of my addresses, even if the balances happened to have been zero in terms of BTC (but they should have had BCH, and even if there were a claim that the BCH had moved after August 1, then they should have shown that too, no?

Regarding mycelium, I only recently tried mycelium just to verify if it showed my btc balances, and downloaded mycelium to my iphone, and I did reseed the mycelium wallet on my Iphone with the 12 word seed from blockchain.info and mycelium did show all 57 of my blockchain.info addresses (and transactions - currently all of the BTC addresses with zero BTC balances)



Edit:  By the way, Flat e, I am wondering if you moved your Bitcoins from your Mycelium wallet before you seeded the 12 words into the Electron Cash wallet?  Also, I am running Electron Cash on a Mac, and I am not sure if there would be any difference in the outcome from a windows machine?

Yes, I just fed a blockchain.info wallet seed to electron to check. It showed all transactions which were few, and the addresses too.
It was an empty wallet used twice, moved BTC hours before the fork (and the BCH with it) to android Simple Bitcoin Wallet, and 12 hours after the fork from there to android Mycelium wallet on another phone.
I only fed seeds from BTC-empty wallets to electroncash. I used it to get BCH from Mycelium of which I could not retrieve a priv.key since I never saw the address of the unspent, missed one can look at unspent addresses through options. But that was only for a forgotten 0.023 BTC/BCH, which I sent too late to the Simple BW to have the BCH moved too.
Not sure about the mac, is it on electron 2.9.2 yet? I still have 2.9.0, no more balance or use for it now.

The Electron Cash that I am using on the Mac is the latest version, 2.9.2.

I just looked at one of my BCH/BTC addresses on the BCH blockchain, and it shows that my BCH are still at that address and they have not been moved at the time that I moved the BTC off of that address.


http://blockdozer.com/insight/address/18akLArKa9oAWNCaGW9c3vH81dnhBfPyL


If you look at the same bitcoin address on the bitcoin blockchain, you can verify that I moved the bitcoins from that address on 8/18

So, yeah, it appears that all my BCH are still reachable through my various blockchain.info wallet addresses.  I just have to get to some kind of BCH interface in which I can plug in my 12 word seed and to see the 33 addresses that should have BCH on them... and then to be able to move or store them

[Flat.E]

Yes, your BCH are there. Totally forgot, your electroncash is updating to the current block hight, right? Connected to electroncash.caschilla or another BCH node?

[JayJuanGee]

Yes, your BCH are there. Totally forgot, your electroncash is updating to the current block hight, right? Connected to electroncash.caschilla or another BCH node?

It looks like the block height is current to me.  480233  - same in the application and on the BCH blockchain.

Really, I do not believe that my electron cash is updating.  I think that it is showing currently what it believes to be BCH addresses connected with my 12 seeds.

Actually, I decided to reload my ledger and to attempt to get the BCH off of the one address that shows on there, so I was able to send the BCH from one of the 33 addresses.  1 down 32 to go. 

Maybe the easiest way would be to figure out how I could get my ledger to recognize the other 32 addresses that have BCH in them?

Unless there is a way to get electron cash to recognize those addresses with BCH in them?

Tried to sweep into Coinomi BCH account.  It accepts the Private Key but nothing happens.  No coins received.  Waited hours. 
I have uninstalled and reinstalled.  No good.

Since, I used the Private Key to transfer all the bitcoin to a different wallet without a problem.  Tried again to sweep the BCH with Coinomi, nothing.


Not sure what to do.

I found the 20+ addresses of my BTC account on blockchain.info, checked the balances on http://blockdozer.com, then followed HostFat's procedure to find the corresponding private keys and sweep them one-by-one into Coinomi, but my BCC balance didn't budge and remained at zero the next day. I couldn't figure out what went wrong...

I then found the following detailed instructions to directly enter the blockchain.info recovery passphrase (12 words) into coinomi - just one step, no address searching & sweeping. And it worked great
http://www.coinpurveyor.com/how-to/how-to-claim-bitcoin-cash-from-blockchain-wallet/

Note: I first emptied my blockchain.info account and, when entering the 12 word passphrase and the coinomi password, put my Android phone in airplane mode to cut off all connections, just as an extra precaution.

Thanks again to HostFat for his great work 

[repomies2000]

I have a Mycellium wallet that has two "HD accounts" behind one 12 word passphrase (BIP39 Mnemonic).
I used bip39-standalone, but when I went through the private keys I found only BCH of the first account. 
The question is how do I get BCH from the account number two?
Are those supposed to be in that same list of private keys or is there some other way to find them?

[sir_lanka]

Hey. I had BTC in blockchain.info when the fork occurred. I had a small amount in my wallet and the larger amount in an imported address.

By using Coinomi I was able to get the smaller amount of BCH.

I have also used a service to receive my non compressed key connected to the imported address. When I use this key to "sweep wallet" in Coinomi I'm sent to a white page, then sent back to my wallet with small amount. (as compared with when I try the wrong key it says the address doesn't have any coins.) I have successfully used the same key to connect the address to Mycelium.

The imported address was also used to send BTC on Aug 8 and receive on Aug 10 if that matters.

What to do next? Thanks.

I'm wondering the same. I've successfully claimed all my bitcoin cash that I had in my blockchain.info wallet EXCEPT for the ones that were on an imported address. Had the same issue where Coinomi would sweep the private key but no BCC would appear in the wallet. I'm wondering if there's some issue with imported addresses. I know that the imported addresses in my b.info wallet aren't backed up with the recovery phrase so any bcc wallet that needs the seed won't work.

[sexy susie]

I thought Coinomi was a very trusted piece of software. Why send the BTC to another address before using Coinomi if Coinomi is trustworthy? I don't understand why you would allow an application to see your private key for BCH yet not for BTC. I know Bitcoin is worth a lot more, but there is tremendous incentive to steal BCH as well.

Are they trustworthy? I guess. But everyone is trustworthy until they aren't. Right?

Not sure why you wouldn't send the BTC to another address though. It's just an extra precaution that doesn't really cost you anything (well except for the transaction fee of course). Why take an unnecessary risk?

Also, you ARE letting the application see your private key for BTC because the BCC and the BTC share the same address. That is why you're moving your BTC in the first place.

I like your guide. It looks like everything comes from github so I assume that it's all open-sourced but I just want to tell people that they should be careful before they download and run any software, not this specific software, but anything that you download especially when it has to do with your finances. I am not saying anything against the Opie, or the developers that are listed here just that you need to be careful because someone could slip a lake in there and next thing you know your private keys are being sent off to them.

I was thinking more about for long term use where someone would allow access to BCH but wanted to have BTC in a different place. They would be trusting for BCH but not BTC. I know malware already on the computer was another concern.

I am having some problems with Electrum. I got the qrcode thru desktop and transferred it to an Android device, but I can't figure out how to scan the code. I tried typing the private key due to the problems I'm having with qrcode, but it didn't get me any coins.

[JelksC]

This is about Electrum/PC and Coinomi/Android.  I see several others here have had exactly the same problem, but I have not seen any resolution posted.

3 days ago I opened this as a support ticket with Coinomi -- no answer or reply so far:

Hello, I sent all my BTC from my Electrum wallet to Coinomi *after* the fork.  Then I tried "Sweep wallet" into my (empty) BCH Coinomi wallet using the private key of one of the old Electrum BTC wallet addresses. 

Coinomi says, "This private key does not contain any funds".  Yes, I know it doesn't contain funds any more -- I had sent those funds to my Coinomi wallet!

You can see the transaction where I sent my BTC from Electrum to Coinomi here: https://blockchain.info/tx/e4b5ab39e541b96b5db238e521faae913f098f1de260e09e3645f1ada628b452

I still have the private keys of each of those 8 pre-fork fund-containing addresses.  I know Coinomi sees there are no funds in them *now*, but is there a way to let Coinomi see that I had them *then* so the Bitcoin Cash will show up?

Did I lose all my Bitcoin Cash from my pre-fork BTC by doing "Sweep wallet" *after* I had sent the BTC to Coinomi (thus emptying my Electrum wallet)?  Is that BCH unavailable to me now forever?

I now realize I should have done the BCH "sweep wallet" with those private keys while the BTC funds were still in the Electrum wallet -- THEN I could have moved all my BTC to Coinomi.  But the damage has been done.  Does anyone reading this thread have any clue as to how I can get a hold of my Bitcoin Cash, or is it gone -- somewhere out there in limbo -- forever?

I think you did the right thing. There are other options for BCH besides Coinomi, and transferring BTC after the fork doesn't affect BCH

Did you use qrcode like the first poster recommended? Coinomi says you can type a private key, but copying and pasting the letters didn't work for me.

[AirlieBeachBoy]

Coinomi seems to be having problems at the moment. I did a series of transfers a few days ago, transferring BCH from blockchain.info imported addresses to Coinomi, and from Coinomi to another wallet. It worked perfectly and quickly at that time.

Today I tried to claim the rest of the BCH using exactly the same method and immediately Coinomi started showing some really buggy behaviour:
After I scanned the private key QR code of an imported address with Coinomi, I got a white screen, then the Coinomi app went back to the 'balance' page, where it shows 0 balance.

Im checking Blockchair.com and I can see that the BCH balance in the address I was transferring from hasnt changed. The BCH are still there (at this stage... im keeping a close eye on that).

But Coinomi just seems to be not working.

The process Im using is as follows:

-login to Blockchain.info wallet > settings > addresses
-Under 'imported addresses' click on the more options at right > view private key.
-Scan the private key QR code with Coinomi.

Previously this worked flawlessly. The BCH would show up in Coinomi quickly and from there I could transfer it elsewhere.

Now Coinomi craps out when I scan a QR code of an imported address that I know has BCH funds in it.
If I scan an empty address, I get a message saying address contains 0 balance.. So that works as it should. It just seems to shit itself if it scans a wallet that has funds?

[AirlieBeachBoy]

I guess we just can wait unless you need it fast https://news.bitcoin.com/blockchain-info-to-support-bitcoin-cash/

I just read this! Could have just left the BCH where it was. The only reason I started messing around with Coinomi etc was because blockchain.info said they didnt plan to support BCH!  

Edit
Actually. The blog post says:

"Users with balances of bitcoin in their Blockchain Wallet on August 1st will be able to access an equal balance, as of August 1st, of bitcoin cash."

It doesnt say if they will make it possible to claim BCH from imported addresses that held BTC on Aug 1st

[JelksC]

and then ...

Did you use qrcode like the first poster recommended? Coinomi says you can type a private key, but copying and pasting the letters didn't work for me.

No, I hadn't even seen this thread before I did what I did!  What I had read elsewhere was to transfer my BTC to Coinomi, then *uninstall* Electrum, and then as an added precaution to even delete the %APPDATA%\Electrum folder.  (Of course, I still have a backup of my old Electrum wallet file, plus its BTC addresses and private keys.)  So I didn't have Electrum any more to show its QR codes.  Would snapping a QR code somehow present a different private key to Coinomi than copying and pasting it???

The advice of moving one's BTC to Coinomi *before* trying to "sweep wallet" into BCH from the old addresses -- based on the fear of some malware on one's PC (I'm anti-virused up!) or the fear that Coinomi itself might do something malicious -- seems so far to me to be ill-advised.

When Coinomi says "This private key does not contain any funds", it's telling the truth -- of course there are no funds in it, I had just moved them!

I should have swept the wallet for all my Electrum BTC addresses containing Bitcoin *first*, *then* moved my funds, and then uninstalled Electrum, whatever.

What's obvious from this thread is that Electrum as the BTC "source wallet" is not the only issue, there seem to be multiple "source wallet" problems.  I'd venture that Coinomi being the only "destination wallet" problem is not exactly correct either...

There must be a way to get one's Bitcoin Cash from pre-fork Bitcoin addresses whose funds had been moved *after* the fork!

You did add a bch wallet too to coinomi, and swept your bch containing wallet from there, did you?
If you have an electrum seed you can put that in electron, and claim your bch. http://www.electroncash.org/

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.

Interesting, exact same thing happened to me with an imported address with the white screen and transfer not going through. Checking on a bcc block explorer shows that the bcc is still at the (imported) address so at least it's not like they're stealing it. But you're saying that few days ago, you were able to successfully claim BCC from a b.info imported address?

[farfie]

So I as well attempted to sweep my private key from Electrum(Windows) into Coinomi(Android) to get my BCH.
Followed the instructions, and it seemed to go through just fine. I had some coins under Receiving, and under a Change address. I sweeped both of those, and Coinomi didnt throw any errors, nor did it say it was empty or anything like that. It loaded, said it was creating a transaction, and seemed to finish, taking me back to the main screen of the BCH wallet. But no transaction was created, nor do I have any more BCH. Some people here said to try expanding the Used addresses section, and sweeping that. Electrum said it was empty, with 2 Tx, but I tried anyway. Coinomi then said it was empty as well, with an error. Seems to make sense.

But I still have nothing. Of course, I just did it. Maybe it takes time? I will post again later if anything happens.

Yes.

Everything seemed to work as expected, no errors, no weird things from the source wallet, nothing. Only, I don't have my BCH in Coinomi either. Not sure what to think at this point.

Yes exactly, a few days ago it worked fine. I was able to claim BCC from several b.info imported addresses by scanning the private key QR code. At that time Coinomi reported the correct balance of of each address, and I was able to claim it and then send it on from Coinomi to another address. Now the same process doesn't work.

Blockchain.info has now announced they will support BCC, so I'm hoping they will provide a way to claim BCC from imported addresses (not just from b.info wallet addresses). I'm planning to leave my unclaimed BCC where it is and wait to see what options b.info provides. I actually messaged their support to ask if they would provide a way to claim BCC from imported addresses, but their response gave nothing away. They just told me that BCC support was in development and they had nothing else to announce publicly at this time.
 

[JelksC]

Did you still have your BTC in your Windows Electrum when you tried this?

Yes.

Everything seemed to work as expected, no errors, no weird things from the source wallet, nothing. Only, I don't have my BCH in Coinomi either. Not sure what to think at this point.

Hmm.  Well that at least explains why your "sweep wallet" at least appeared to work in your case -- your Electrum wallet had the BTC funds in it.  Mine didn't even *appear* to work, because I had read to move my BTC funds to a "safe wallet" *first* (Coinomi in my case).  So the BCH sweep (naturally) complained when I put in the private keys of my old BTC addresses that had had the funds in Electrum a few minutes earlier but now no longer did.

So you have a completely different issue -- you did the BCH sweep wallet using your still visible and current BTC pre-fork addresses, it appeared to work, and yet you can't see any BCH in your Coinomi wallet.  Right?

I might suggest opening a support ticket with Coinomi on your issue, but then again, the ticket I opened with them on my problem has as of now been being processed for 3 days and 22 hours -- with no comment, reply, no nothing.

I'm guessing they're dealing with a tsunami of support tickets from a) people who had moved their BTC funds to a "safe wallet" before attempting to sweep them into BCH (like me and several others I've seen in this thread), and b) people who who still had their BTC funds in their Electrum (or other) wallet), the sweeping appears to work, yet no BCH is visible in the BCH wallet (like yourself)...

[farfie]

you did the BCH sweep wallet using your still visible and current BTC pre-fork addresses, it appeared to work, and yet you can't see any BCH in your Coinomi wallet.  Right?

Correct. Everything seems to work, nothing happens weird on any software, be it the electrum wallet or coinomi. Only, no BCH shows up anywhere.
I think I'll just take the electron cash route soon. Moving coins to a safe wallet, then importing the electrum seed to electron cash. Seems to be the most reliable way, even though I wanted to stay away from Electron cash if possible.

  BINGO! BINGO! BINGO! 

I had been avoiding Electron Cash after the warnings I had read a few weeks back, but I had already moved all my BTC from Electrum to a new Coinomi address and had completely uninstalled Electrum, so since there was apparently no way to access my BCH in Coinomi, what was there to lose?  So I installed Electron Cash (make sure you *only* download it from http://www.electroncash.org/), chose the default install path, used my old Electrum wallet backup, and there it ALL is!!!!!   BCH magically appeared.  I sent .02 BCH to my Coinomi BCH address.  Yep, it's there.  It was fast too.

No "Sweep wallet" BS with fruitlessly attempting every private key associated with my old Electrum addresses that had pre-fork BTC.  Just installed Electron Cash, put in my password with which I had protected the old Electrum wallet, and there was *all* my BCH, showing all my old BTC transactions.  Very cool.  Only thing I changed was the display from "mBCC" to "BCC" (under Preferences, Appearance).

So a BIG thumbs up to Electron Cash, and a big BOO to Coinomi (who still hasn't responded to my open ticket in now 4 days and 14 hours, I think I'll just close it, maybe with a link to this post...).

I'm happy now.  I hope this helps some other folks here!

Instructions to recover your Bitcoin Cash from your TrustedCoin 2FA Bitcoin wallet (by DarkLordGMS)

[Greenleed]

I am using multibit classic 0.5.19 which I can export the private key in text. I think I do not need to download wallet-key-tool the file from github and only need to download the  tool on Windows to make a qrcode from the text private keys: https://sourceforge.net/projects/zint/
Correct?  For answer which lead me to successful claim the BCC, I will reward 0.05 bitcoin, please leave your bitcoin address.

[cyberpitstop]

So is this dead now?? I tried to import a couple privkeys over to Coinomi to claim my BCH and got nothing. 

[cyberpitstop]

Do we still need to change that derivation address M/44H bla bla bla?? I thought this was the best route to get the BCH and now I cant seem to get any of it to work.

[farfie]

Correct. Everything seems to work, nothing happens weird on any software, be it the electrum wallet or coinomi. Only, no BCH shows up anywhere.
I think I'll just take the electron cash route soon. Moving coins to a safe wallet, then importing the electrum seed to electron cash. Seems to be the most reliable way, even though I wanted to stay away from Electron cash if possible.

As a follow up to all my previous posts, it seems as though Coinomi pushed an update on the Play Store (today? last week?), and everything works as it should now. I once again attempted to split my coins using the OP's method, and after the update, it has worked with no problems. The BCH are split successfully in to my Android Coinomi wallet, and the Bitcoin in my Electrum wallet is still there. Yes, I imported my keys without moving them first. Here to report that everything is fine now. It seems there was a bug causing things to not be imported properly, until today, I suppose. I tried again right after Coinomi updated, and everything worked as explained.

[faitaccompli]

Yes looks like the new update for Coinomi fixed a lot of issues. You can now claim BCC from imported addresses in your blockchain.info wallet. Just claimed the last of mine 

[Flat.E]

You can try with electroncash from http://www.electroncash.org/
Always get your BTC out of the wallet you are going to sweep first.
Windows:
In electroncash:  tab wallet - private keys - sweep - enter priv. key - leave address unchanged - next etcetera
I used the wallet key tool myself to do this by the way, so you might want to use that too if the above does not work. I used both front page tools from an off-line computer, no problem.
Android:
In coinomi make a bitcoin cash wallet, when in it click the 3 dots top right and sweep wallet, enter priv key etc.
The qr maker link was dead when I tried it 3 weeks back, seems alive now, so I can't comment on that, but if you can make a qr of your priv key with it, you can sweep that the same way in coinomi by clicking the qr icon next to the text field, it will open your camera to scan.

[JayJuanGee]

Yes, your BCH are there. Totally forgot, your electroncash is updating to the current block hight, right? Connected to electroncash.caschilla or another BCH node?

It looks like the block height is current to me.  480233  - same in the application and on the BCH blockchain.

Really, I do not believe that my electron cash is updating.  I think that it is showing currently what it believes to be BCH addresses connected with my 12 seeds.

Actually, I decided to reload my ledger and to attempt to get the BCH off of the one address that shows on there, so I was able to send the BCH from one of the 33 addresses.  1 down 32 to go. 

Maybe the easiest way would be to figure out how I could get my ledger to recognize the other 32 addresses that have BCH in them?

Unless there is a way to get electron cash to recognize those addresses with BCH in them?

I believe that I forgot to post an update in this thread.  I had recovered my BCH about a week ago, and I posted about it here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059111.msg21154771#msg21154771

The punchline is that I had to create a new wallet for every single bitcoin account that I had on Blockchain.info in order to verify and claim the BCH through electron cash.

I had 57 addresses, and 33 of them had BCH on them.  I just checked every address, just to be sure about it and to make sure that I did not miss any address.  It took me about 3 hours to create a new wallet for every address and I used copy and paste a lot, especially for putting in the 12 word key for each wallet that I created.

[cyberpitstop]

I apologize if this has already been asked but....If I delete the addresses associated with those private keys so they are never used again, then move my bitcoins back to my original wallet will that be ok or do I need a whole new bitcoin wallet???
TIA

[JayJuanGee]

You need to create a whole new wallet because the private keys are associated with the old wallet and all addresses that fall under the old wallet, so even if you create new addresses, your security and/or privacy would be vulnerable by using the old wallet.

I don't think that it is a good idea to delete old addresses or to forget how to access your old wallet - because you should be able to access the old wallet for a couple of reasons: 1) in case value gets sent to any of the addresses under the control of the old wallet, or 2) in case you need to access the old wallet or addresses to view historical transactions or to prove your ownership.

Great information. Very helpful.

I am hoping you can help some more  

I am trying to import from Multibit classic.  I have exported the private key but when I try to sweep it in Coinomi I get the following error.  What are my options?

"The transaction is bigger than what the network allows, try sending a different amount"
I suspect this is due to this wallet having lots of transactions (was used for mining).  My other multibit classic wallets imported fine.

Thanks,

Anyone has any ideas?  Been working on this for days.

RE: Import electrum SEED into Coinomi

You explained:
- Electrum
1) Open the menu "View" and click on "Show Addresses"
2) Then open the new tab "Addresses"
3) Ritgh click on the addresses that had Bitcoin before the fork, then click "Private key".
4) Click on the qrcode icon to show it.
4) Cliccare sull'icona del qrcode per mostrarlo
5) Sweep them with Coinomi

Two things why I'd prefer to just import the seed:
- Have only one smartphone; cannot show the Electrum qrcodes from addresses' private keys and capture the qrcode with coinomi at the same time.
- In anycase capturing qrcodes with Coinami giving me error; have not been able to do so when trying to send.

I already imported one SEED from Mycelium into Coinami successfully. But now I'd like to import a different seed , the one from Electrum. The thing is, is it possible to import a second masterseed into Coinomi?

For anyone seeing this.  It's due to the high number of transactions inputs within your wallet.  I followed the following the following video and was able to import the private keys into Electrum cash (make sure you are not doing this with standard electrum) from multibit classic.  Even then I was not able to move the whole amount at once due to the number of inputs.  I then sent the transactions in parts.  Since I was not sweeping all at once and was sending part of the funds in chunks I was able to move the funds successfully.

2) Add a Bitcoin Cash wallet on it
3) Go to balance, and click the upper right 3 dots.
4) Select "Sweep wallet"
5) Be ready to do it with qrcodes


- Multibit HD (you have to abandon this wallet, because it isn't anymore developed!)
1) Download and execute this: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/blob/master/bip39-standalone.html (Right click and Save as...)
2) On "Derivation Path" choose "BIP32"
3) On "Client" choose "Multibit HD"
4) On "BIP39 Mnemonic" space you have to insert the seed of your wallet, the 12 words.
5) You will get the list of your addresses and their private keys.
6) By going with the cursor on a private key, the page will show the qrcode. Sweep it with Coinomi

Had Multibit HD, but also an iPhone and Coinomi is not available for apple yet.
So I did this instead;

1) Installed Electrum, and created a brand new wallet
2) Transferred all bitcoin funds to this wallet from the Multibit HD wallet.
3) Installed Electron.
4) Created a wallet, using “I already have a seed”
5) Entered my 12-word Multibit HD seed, and checked “Bit-39 seed” under option
6) Used “m/0'” under derivation, instead of the default “m/44'/0'/0'”
7) A bit of sync… and the Bitcoin cash was available.

Worked like a charm…

But how would you get Bitcoin cash out of a multisig electrum address?

Moving your Bitcoins from Multibit Classic to Electrum and claiming your Bitcoin Cash via Coinomi

First of all, there is the excellent work by the OP on page 1. I bought some Bitcoin in 2013 and I haven't been paying much attention to it since, because for me it was and is a long term investment. I had to do a lot of reading the past couple of days to catch up. The way I transferred my Bitcoins and claimed my Bitcoin Cash was a bit different. I decided to use Electrum as my new Bitcoin wallet and Coinomi as my Bitcoin Cash wallet.

• RTFM: Read the Electrum and Coinomi documentation and FAQ
• Install Electrum on your desktop and Coinomi on your Android smartphone
• Create a wallet on Electrum and a wallet on Coinomi (I chose for a Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash wallet on Coinomi)
• Write down the seeds and the passwords
• Download and install Zint Barcode Studio (Windows only) unless you don't mind typing an entire private key in Coinomi to claim your Bitcoin Cash: https://sourceforge.net/projects/zint/
• Export the private keys from your Multibit Classic wallets one by one (do not password protect the files) (I will explain below this list why I did this)
• Import the private keys (one by one) in Electrum (New/Restore -> Standard -> Public Private key) (I tried it out with an empty Multibit Classic wallet first)
• Send the coins from the imported private key to the Electrum wallet you created in step 3 (you will have to pay a transaction fee). Wait for confirmation until proceeding to the next step.
• Claim your Bitcoin Cash. Open your Coinomi wallet, select Bitcoin Cash, click on the 3 vertical dots right upper corner and select sweep wallet. You can now enter the private key manually or use the qrcode generated by Zint. I will explain below this list how. Wait for confirmation. (I tried this out with empty wallets first, by manually typing the address and scanning the qrcode)
• Repeat the previous 3 steps for all your former Multibit Classic wallets
• Rejoice

The reason why I imported the private keys in Electrum instead of sending the coins from a Multibit Classic wallet to an Electrum wallet is that the maximum fee in Multibit Classic is 0.0005 BTC/kB. This is very low compared with current fees (0.0015 BTC/kB for confirmation within the hour) and you can wait a very long time before the transaction is confirmed. I didn't wanted to take the risk.

What is the private key? The private key file exported from Multibit Classic (no protected by a password) looks like this:

# KEEP YOUR PRIVATE KEYS SAFE !
# Anyone who can read this file can spend your bitcoin.
#
# Format:
#   <Base58 encoded private key>[<whitespace>[<key createdAt>]]
#
#   The Base58 encoded private keys are the same format as
#   produced by the Satoshi client/ sipa dumpprivkey utility.
#
#   Key createdAt is in UTC format as specified by ISO 8601
#   e.g: 2011-12-31T16:42:00Z . The century, 'T' and 'Z' are mandatory
#

2016-02-07T11:46:36Z
# End of private keys

If you enter the private key manually, you only need to type what is highlighted in red.
If you want Zint to create a qrcode so that you only have to scan it with Coinomi. Import from file in Zint. In the text editor (Zint) delete everything except the private key and click on 'OK'. Scan the qrcode with Coinomi.

I tried to get private key for blockchain.info through the html code downloaded, but after I input 12 words, it listed a lot of addresses which none of them is my blockchain.info address. I did set the client to blockchain.info. Any idea on it?

Use electroncash on a windows pc.
In electroncash: file-new/restore, pick a name-next, standard wallet-next, "I already have a seed"-next, enter seed words- under option check bip39, next etc.

O.K.
So I did everything in the instructions for my android wallet,
and I found some addresses with cash inside.
BUT, the address most funded wasn't found...
In the address book on the app it's marked as an "Old address"

Anybody knows how can I restore this address?


UPDATE:
When I use gurnec's decrypt_bitcoinj_seed, it gives me my seed,
but a warning is popped which says:

1 non-deterministic keys found.
Your mnemonic backup does NOT back up your entire wallet.

I still have the wallet, so how can I back it up entirely?

@HostFat Thanks for this awesome guide. It really helps.
@Flat.E - thanks for your support in this thread, I've been reading it all.

I just need a few confirmations on what *I think* I must do in order to claim the BCH.
So, I have btc in a electrum android wallet. Some of them are still there, some were spent. I understand that only the ones BEFORE aug 1 split are eligible for BCH.

1. I think best solution is to move all bitcoins from the android electrum wallet to a paper wallet (yes, better to be safe than sorry with the private keys...)
2. I already got the android electrON apk file, checked the signature and checksum. I did not install it on my phone yet.
3. After electron Installation on android, I should restore the wallet from seed. And the BCH should be already there? I don't want to do something wrong.

Had somebody tried this, with success?
Thanks.

1. The idea is to get your BTC out of the wallet whose seed you will be using to restore to another wallet prog., so if someone steals your seed (malicious- software/-BCHwallet/-seed extractor) they can not access your BTC. Other wallet prog. or paper wallet, doesn't matter.
3. Yes, that's the procedure. Every wallet that had BTC up till august 1-2017 12.00 utc should have the same amount of BCH in it. After the restore from seed to a BCH wallet, the BCH must show up.


@sir.humus, don't have an answer to that, try different wallets to retrieve you BCH perhaps?

[overboost]

It worked flawlessly.
But, I'm worried about Electron permissions. It asked full network acces...
Should this wallet be a safe one?

Guys, what about Greenaddress, anyone know how get bah from this wallet? I founded this instruction, but it is for Ubuntu users and I not really understand how to do it.

[piti4ek]

This is the answer of greenadress support team


Hi,

As you may know, we recently announced some updates at https://blog.greenaddress.it/2017/09/06/segregated-witness-updates/ which includes backend support for signing bcash transactions. Please see the link for more details.

We provided this support in order to allow users to control their coins manually with respect to bcash. We are not however planning to support it in our wallets. We notified users of this as soon as possible after becoming aware of the bcash fork in order to allow users to move their coins if they wished to split themselves. Providing this support has already entailed considerable development and testing effort to ensure the safety and security of the services we provide. We are not able to provide technical support for splitting, transacting in or using bcash beyond the above.

Note that splitting coins is a technical process and the process may change depending on the development direction of bcash which like all contentious forks we neither support nor follow the development of. We have ensured as far as we are able that the service will not sign bcash transactions that can be replayed on the bitcoin main chain, this is the absolute limit of our support.

As you may be aware, a user at https://reddit.com/r/greenaddress has written a tool that allows splitting of bcash using a modified version of our garecovery tool which some people have reported success with. We have reviewed the code for bad intent and given the git commit hash of that reviewed version. If the tool is updated then we will similarly review the updated commits as and when we are able. We do not support the tool nor can make any guarantee on its quality. We will provide support in regards to the newly introduced api call https://api.greenaddress.it/vault.html#sign_alt_tx

Beyond this we offer no support whatsoever. It is each user's decision to use any third party tool and to ensure the security of their mnemonics etc while doing so. We are happy for users to discuss the tool and provide support for each other on the appropriate thread(s) on reddit subject to our normal moderation policy. This may change if the tool is changed to become malicious or the forum is spammed etc with bcash related topics or trolling.

Regards,
The GreenAddress support team

Are all the wallets in OP 100% safe?
I have been using bitcoin core, which should be 100% safe, but not easy to use.
Which wallet would you recommend?

- Bitcoin Wallet (Android)
1) Download OpenSSL for your operation system
2) You have to make the make the backup of your wallet (on the android app), by choosing a password and then by moving the backup file on your computer.
3) Then put the backup file in the same folder where there is the executable of OpenSSL
4) Start the command line from the folder and execute this: openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -a -in backup_file > result.txt
5) Open result.txt. You will find much incomprehensible text, but at the beginning, there will be a list of 12 words. Save them somewhere. It is the seed.
6) Download and execute this: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/blob/master/bip39-standalone.html (Right click and Save as...)
7) On "BIP39 Mnemonic" space you have to insert the seed of your wallet, the 12 words.
8 ) In "Derivation Path" choose "BIP32"
9) On "Client" choose "Multibit HD"
10) You will get the list of your addresses and their private keys.
11) Sweep them with Coinomi

Update
- you can recover the seed from v3.47 or upper with https://github.com/gurnec/decrypt_bitcoinj_seed
- Some BCH could be on the private keys on son address with those settings on the bip39-standalone.html page
Client: Custom derivation path:
BIP32 Derivation Path: m/0'/1

Hi,
So I'm trying to claim my bitcoin cash using the method above, I got my list of 12 words and I past them in bip39-standalone.html
My question now is regarding the "Derived Addresses" I get in the result page of bip39-standalone.html
I get a list of 20 address [0-19] then I have a button "more rows" that shows another 20 and on and on and on it goes every time I hit the button.
In fact I dont know when it finished. I was unable to get to the end I always get more addresses.

My silly question is I must scan each and every address listed here to check if it has any bitcoin cash correct?
Every single address listed here was at one point created by my bitcoin wallet correct?

Is there any faster way to find out which of these addresses hold my bitcoin cash?
Thanks.

I think I may have lost all of my bitcoins trying to follow this guide unfortunately. I followed all the steps and everything was going correctly until everything completed. I sent 0.75 BTC from my Multibit classic wallet to the Coinomi app following the steps provided in the guide here. Once everything was completed it showed the same number in BCH, 0.75, that I had sent in BTC. None of my BTC was in the wallet after that on my PC or the app, only BCH could be found and showing just a value of 1k+, 0.75 BCH there. I am worried that It just converted my coins into BCH, 0.75 BTC to 0.75 BCH. The thought of losing over 7 thousand dollars for no reason is killing me inside. If anyone here could help me I would be so grateful.

UPDATE: It has been resolved. Make sure to move your coins out of the wallet before you do this or will lose money.
