Wow this thread full of miss communication between one to another.
First of all the tittle a bit too controversial,because Coinbase will support Bitcoin Cash on 1 January 2018.
and the second one no one reliazed it :
"They told us coinbase users to move the funds prior to the fork. I did to electrum. If i move the coins back to coinbase will I have the equal amount of bitcoin cash still."First,OP tittle talking about Coinbase support and the content about getting a BCC/BCH.
First,Coinbase indeed will support BCC/BCH but they will support it on 1 january 2018,if nothing goes wrong with BCC/BCH.
Second,You will not get it because you already moved it to electrum and the only solution to get it is to following this step :
~snip~
Just use private key of your electrum address to claim free bitcoincash. First use
http://blockdozer.com/insight/ to check any bitcoincash your bitcoin address might hold. If it have bitcoincash than you should import/sweep your bitcoin address in
http://electroncash.org (wallet) using private key of that bitcoin address you will get from your old electrum wallet.
OK problem solved right ?
