How to claim our BCC in Electron cash?

[Boinkit]

Ok, if you look at addresses tab in Electron Cash (wallet - show addresses), do you see that address?

No, I don't see my address.

Importing by seed:
"File -> New\Restore -> standard wallet -> I already have a seed -> Options -> BIP39 seed"
It's generating 20 addresses in "Receiving" and 6 addresses in "Change". My blockchain.info address (1Cbbv...) isn't listed there.

Importing by private key (WIF: L3…RY):
"File -> New\Restore -> standard wallet -> Private/Public Key"
I see only one address, which isn't my address too.

use derivation path: m/44'/0'/0'/0 (it should default to this)

Yes, it's the default value. I've used this.

After reading several tutorials and watching youtube howtos I didn't find any mistake on my side in importing my bch.info wallet.

Is there a way to specify the bitcoin address manually inside Electron Cash?
Or is there a different way to access the BCC in bch.info?

I already wrote an email to blockchain.info but didn't get any response. Would be nice if the would have split it automatically like Kraken has done.

Could you try to only export the private key from the specific address containing the BCC?

Ok... I'm fairly sure the issue is probably the whole b.info compressed/uncompressed key thing... (b.info is doing some sort of conversion behind the scenes... and the private key it spits out is a compressed key, but the address is the address for the uncompressed key)

Download and run an offline copy of bitaddress.org... goto "wallet details" tab, put your private key in and click "view details"

Do you see your 1CbbvF4AEtnkavWXrioemgjMYb86B4Po8X address? If so, try importing the WIF key listed on the same side as your "1Cbbv" address...

HCP, you are my hero!

Got it!

A small howto, in case someone else suffers this problem too.

Howto - Get your BCC from blockchain.info

1. Check if you blockchain.info address contains BCC:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/putyouraddresshere
Search the row: "Total unspent (balance): x.xxxx BCC*

2. Get the private key from Blockchain.info:

• Go to: Settings → Addresses → look into the line of your address on the right: More Options → Private Key
• Select format: WIF
• Copy the private key to a textfile on your computer.

.

3. Uncompress the private key
In Firefox:

• go to www.bitaddress.org
• Right click and save the page to your computer.
• Firefox → Alt key to show the menu → File → (x) offline
• Now load the saved html page of bitaddress.org.
• Click wallet details and put your private key here.
• If your address from blockchain.info shows up in "Bitcoin Address Compressed", select the Private Key from the uncompressed column.

.

4. Import your wallet into Electron Cash

• Download and start Electron Cash
  
• File → News/Restore → choose a wallet name → Standard Wallet → Use Public or Private Keys
• Post here your uncompressed key from your bitaddress.org output.

.

The transactions should show up right now.

Glad you got it working... honestly, the b.info wallet is so full of issues... I know they're trying to make things "easy" but they've dumbed down so much stuff and just plain broken other things that it just causes so many issues

Their old "dynamic" fee structure just put 120 sats/byte for every transaction, so during the last fee spike the majority of "unconfirmed for XX hours/days" threads were all b.info users... now it has become obvious that their system is giving out the wrong the address/private key pairs when you export them... it's giving an uncompressed address with a compressed key

I'd appreciate any help with my problem.

In anticipation of the recent btc fork (in the hope of getting some free BCC) I deposited btc into a new electrum wallet.

Immediately after the fork I was looking into "how do I get the BCC". One of the threads suggesting using the Coinomi Wallet. After looking into this it appeared that I needed a Android phone (which at the time I did not have).

I now have the Android phone (I thought I would just leave it until I got one) but after looking into this again I came across this thread. I saw talk of the Electron Cash wallet so I thought I'd use that instead of the Coinomi option.

I installed the Electron Cash wallet np and withdrew BCH 47.7 to my Bitfinex account.

However when I check the Bitfinex account it says that I received 0.00328812 BCH and that the value is $2.04.

Now I was expecting more (I thought it should be around $15). I deposited about £100 worth of BTC if anybody can do the math.

I should also mention that immediately after the fork I created a second electrum wallet. Then transferred the BTC into the new wallet and then withdrew to a Bitshares account. I'm thinking this might be the cause of the problem.

If anyone could enlighten me I'd be grateful.

If you can post the transaction ID of your transfer from ElectronCash to Bitfinex... it'll help clear things up.

But I suspect you have transferred 47.7 mBCH (which would have been around 0.0477000 BCH) as by default ElectronCash (and Electrum) are set to "milli" units... quite why that dropped to 0.032 BCH by the time it got to Bitfinex, I can't say... I'd need to see the txid to be able to be sure... but possibly the transaction fee?

The only way you would have had 47.7 BCH was if you had 47.7 BTC in your Electrum wallet at the time of the fork

For the record, anything you did on BTC network AFTER the fork will have no effect whatsoever on BCH network... so the 2nd wallet and moving to bitshares will have had zero effect on BCH

Here's the id:

I think I did have 47.7 BTC in the electrum wallet at the time of the fork. This is basically what I put into the second wallet and back to Bitshares.

It is good to know that the 2nd wallet will have zero effect. I thought that I might have screwed things up by moving the BTC out.

Thanks for the help btw and please let me know if you need any more information.

Ok, so looking at the transaction and the addresses involved...

1ExvzdTyFZMigD72eU3aCaPCPm28wcBBna received a total of 0.0477 BTC (47.7 mBTC) prior to the fork...

After the fork, you then transferred 0.0477 BCH from that address to 14o6hd7vF9ESktxSbxLdQxunXNsU1SLGKC (I assume this is the Bitfinex address?) in the 0c21121404e6e0416106b60f4aa764044bf983526c7066090b8d072de5311bfc transaction... Receiving 0.04753 after fees.

If you only have 0.032 BCH credited to your Bitfinex account, you need to go ask them what happened to the rest of it... So they charge for deposits or something?

It really looks like you've got yourself confused with the "Milli" units that Electrum and ElectronCash both use by default... Granted you may actually have had 47 btc, but you only sent 0.0477 BCH in that transaction.

Finally decided to move all of my bitcoin to a new wallet on a new computer.

Am I right in saying that it’s this easy to claim my BCH -

-Download Electron Cash
-Click Wallet
-Click Private Keys
-Sweep
-Type all my old private keys that had bitcoin in them at the time of the fork

[HCP]

Pretty much... if you have moved all the BTC from those keys... you should be able to sweep the BCH from them following that process...

If they ever release a BTG compatible fork of Electrum, you'll be able to do the same thing to claim your BTG as well (assuming your BTC was still on those keys on 24th October)

They were & thank you Sir!

weird i get those
but electron-cash wallet shows 0.+0.716602227 BCC ( this is one backup wallet i dont remember even btg bcc bch or whatever)
when i go blockchair no result??

https://blockchair.com/search?q=1Pc8DMSSEnPfJNovxb8rAe4D8G9Ee9Q89Q
and now blockchain shows zero trasaction??
Blockchain shows zero history zero transaction WTF

Then it's not on that address. Electrum wallets contain multiple addresses... If you're just looking at the "receive" address listed on the receive tab, you're probably looking at an empty, unused address (by default Electrum and ElectronCash use the first "unused" address to receive)

You should look at the "coins" tab to see which addresses the coins are actually sitting on (View -> Show Coins)
