Hi everyone, I know the claiming BCH topic has been covered to death but I've spent the past 6 hours reading online stuff to figure out a solution and I'm totally lost.

I had my pre fork BTC in my CoPay wallet.  I got my Nano Ledger S today and sent all of the BTC to my Ledger.  I guess I figured I could transfer my BTC to my Ledger and then claim BCH from there.  Unfortunately, I guess that's not how it works and I can't figure out how to claim my BCH now.  One note, I don't have an android device so I can't use coinomi.

Can someone help me out with this?  I would be super grateful.

unfortunately, i'm not familiar with either copay or nano ledger. however, my understanding is that BCH had replay protection implemented. so when you moved your BTC to the nano ledger, your BCH would not have moved with it. assuming i'm correct on that, then you just need to export your private key(s) that held the BTC (and BCH) from the copay wallet, and import them into a BCH wallet.

since those private keys no longer control any BTC, there's less risk involved with just importing them straight into a BCH wallet like electron cash or bitcoin abc. normally i'd be weary of those. btc.com also has a web wallet. maybe you can import the keys there.

Thanks for the reply.  I tried doing that, I am using Electron Cash and created a new wallet using my BIP39 Seed based on the CoPay Wallet Phrase, but no BCH appears in that wallet.  I'm reading that there might be an issue with compressed keys?  But I'm not really sure what that means.

Just a small update, I created a "watching" wallet and I am able to see that the BCH is there using the addresses i used to receive it.  However, I only had one wallet in CoPay and that private key isn't working to recover the BCH.  I even went to bitaddress.org to get the WIF key.  Still no luck.
