Hi
Is there any way to get BCH from Multibit classic wallet?  I had BTC stored in the MBC wallet prior to Aug 1 2017.  I moved BTC in September out via Electrum then to Trezor. Tried using QR code swiping with Coinomi but everything failed.  Am i doing something wrong or have i stuffed things up or is BCH simply unavailable from a Multibit Classic wallet??

Can you gain access to your private keys from that wallet? If so, then you can get your bitcoin cash out of it by merely importing them into electron cash (electroncash.org).

As a point, your private keys will begin with a 5, an L or a K if they are unencrypted/plain text and in the regular WIF compressed format which is the format electrum uses (it should be able to take other formats though).
