Claim Your Bitcoin Cash Balance and Exchange into Bitcoins

[spiderbrain]

I there, if you could help me out I would very much appreciate it...

I have a bitcoin address which held a positive balance of BTC at the time of the fork.
I check on Blockchair.com and it is showing a BCH balance too
I have installed Electron Cash & followed the instructions - and when I "Sweep Private Key" - it says "No inputs found"
I have used the suggested bitcoinwallet address website and used a compressed version of my private key (both types) and still no balance showing in Electron wallet

So...  I have the public key showing a positive BCH balance on Blockchair.com
I have obtained the private key for this address from Blockchain.info wallet
And still cannot access my BCH...

What could I be doing wrong?
thanks

I had this problem, and have finally solved it. Electron Cash will attempt to sweep both

Private Key format WIF Compressed 52 characters base58, starts with a 'K' or 'L

and

Private Key format WIF (51 characters base58, starts with a '5')

but will claim to have found no inputs on the compressed version, which is the version blockchain.info exports.

I used the wallet details feature (offline) on https://www.bitaddress.org to convert between the two addresses, and then successfully swept the 51 character uncompressed WIF into electron cash.

Hi, @BitcoinReseller!

I made "Click on Wallet  -> Private Keys -> Sweep". And I saw few inputs. Ok.

When I made "Click on Broadcast to confirm it." I have error: "error (258: txn-mempool-conflict)".

Nevertheless, after that I saw that ALL my bitcoins sended to another BTC address!

How I can cancel that operation?
How I can return my bitcoins to old address?

In my BitCoin wallet I see that transaction (wallet of blockchain.info).

In my BitCoinCash wallet I don't see anything transactions (wallet of Electron Cash 2.9.2). History is just empty.
However, I found that BitCoinCash was sended to another address that not is in the list of "Wallet > Private Key > Export".

What's happening? It is fraud?

I thought to open here an account, but reading from your post not go further inside. Can somebody tell me what is the difference between these wallets?

Why to do this: "Click on Wallet  -> Private Keys -> Sweep"?
When I do "Click on Wallet  -> Private Keys -> Sweep" whats going on bitcoin network and bitcoincash network?

Why my bitcoins sended to another address?
Why my bitcoincashs sended to another address?

usually when you click on 'Sweep' it collect 100 inputs to create new transaction for you wallet.
when you click on Broadcast it submit transaction.

A new transaction for what?
In order for my BTC and BCC to be sent to other addresses to which I do not have access?

In my case, it happened.

Anyone can help me?

Meatbot you maybe got them stolen as I did following this guide as I have being tracking mine for a while now and the person who stole them had over £40,000 worth of bitcoin but keeps splitting them and moving them on but I will keep tracking.

If the person who stole bitcoins reads this I would like them returned it was roughly £100 worth.

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial. I think many of the beginners needed this kind of steps. I too heard that Bittrex did this ridiculous limit to all the accounts and it will definitely affect them.

Actually having this kind of information for the people who experience different type of transaction could help new people here in the bitcoin system. It is a good thing for bitcoin because it could actually a factor for bitcoin development in the future that could also help bitcoin development as a part of innovation on its transactions, value , price and also the security in every investments and trading people would do.
