I mean to ask as you mentioned in your first point.
Can you please share the precise method of how to use electron cash and what's the trust level as I have heard that you may loose your BTC for unsuccessful attempt of getting access to Bitcoin Cash funds.
Thanks
1. Send all your coins from your current electrum wallet to another wallet. (You can create a new electric wallet for this - thus stops your btc being stolen). Use at least 15 characters as a password.
2. Download electron cash from a reliable source (search the user fyookball on this forum).
2. Put in to say you already have a seed (second option down after pressing "standard wallet"). I'd then suggest, for greater security, send the bcc to an online wallet or a wallet for bitcoin cash on a separate computer.
The electron cash should be fairly safe as it was created by the user fyookball. If you don't trust it, run it on a separate computer/OS or on a VM. If you want to get better security, use the bitcoin cash version of bitcoin ABC.
