Cannot Send BCH - (Signature Must Use SIGHASH_FORKID) - Tried Everything please

[Curtis95]

Hi Guys, I am in need of some help, I have an Electrum Cash Wallet with just 0.6 BCH in it, I am looking to sell my BCH so went ahead and tried to send to Poloniex only to receive this message here: http://prntscr.com/h95up2 - I just cannot get round it.

Here is what I have tried:

1.Tried changing server and tried majority of them, all of which give same message, one of the servers claimed it was sent but I think it was just a dodgy server as nothing worked.

2.Updated Electrum Wallet and received same message.

3.Tried sending using different fees max and lowest and also sending different quantities of BCH to multiple addresses no luck. This was the BCH I received from the hard folk some time ago.
Please can someone assist me I will reward $75 (Or equivalent to) to whoever fixes this issue as its really bugging me now haha! I have skype if need be!

I have searched around online and found that others are experiencing the same issue as myself however the fixes presented on those threads did NOT seem to work for me.

I would greatly appreciate any help / advice given

Thanks guys and much love.

Curtis

Can you send your address and can you zoom out on the screen shot a bit so it includes the top and bottom of the electurm wallet (so the connection status and versions can be seen)?

It looks more of an issue from your electron cash wallet compared to it eing a network/server issue.

Hi Jackg,

Firstly thanks for replying my receive address is: 3HkZTDJ6Xccrre7XVmp6SRjjdGg5gH2qZK

Secondly here is the picture you requested, hope it helps: http://prntscr.com/h9nbv9

I am currently running version 2.9.2, let me explain briefly I downloaded 2.9.3 and it did had the same issue, I checked yesterday and say that version 2.9.4 of Electrum Cash was released I tried to launch it and it just wouldn't open, so I just decided to use 2.9.2 as 2.9.3 had the same issue. Hope that makes sense haha!

Thanks again,
Curtis

You need to double-check everything you're looking at and make sure you're really sending to Bitcoin Cash on poloniex and not normal Bitcoin. AFAIK since Bitcoin Cash doesn't support Segwit, you won't be able to send to that address, unless it's some other type of P2SH address.

As said above. Are you sure this is the bcc/bch address? I ask because there are transactions on the main bitcoin chain and if this came from an exchange they normally don't reuse addresses.
Also I meant to ask for the sending address and not the addressee you're recovering from. Addresses beginning with a 1 and a 3 will be supported by bcc.addresses beginning with a 3 are often related to segwit but they came vefite the segwit fork so they can be used on the bch chain.

Try generating a new address from the exchange just to see if that is possibly the issue.

Edit: as an addition to what cr says below, there could be a space at the start or the end of the address.

Try pasting the address into a text editor to ensure that there are no hidden characters in the middle. (E.g. some will have the option to “show invisibles” or something).

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the continued support, really appreciate it.

In regards to the address I am attempting to send to I have taken a screen shot see here: http://prntscr.com/ha050w
Address: 1GKnQ3go3e3qoXeMJDwNmLPDQKUZ4cGfCi

I believe it to be correct as I have also tried to send to my friends BCH address which came up with the same error message.

My skype is: curtis.smith1990 I will honestly pay $75 to whoever fixes this issue for me as I really need it sorted.

Thanks again people for trying to help!

How much do you trust your friend? If they're fairly honest and trustworthy, give them your private key and ask if they can sweep it into their wallet and try to sign the transaction from their address instead. Or try sweeping it onto another electron cash wallet you create to see if that works.

I had some problems with my bitcoin cash, and this is why i decided to stop using them. And all of those bitcoin cash that i have moved were just moved on my exchange, i dont want to use bitcoincash outside the exchange because it is risky, the issue that you had is common at the moment, a lot of people are having the same issue and this is because of the wallet that you are using.
If you want to spend some bitcoin cash, the best thing that you can do is just trade it to bitcoin and then spend that money on bitcoin, that is the best thing that you can do in order to do it quickly.

Yes, I trust him. We did go ahead and do this I sent him my Private keys and was on TeamViewer so I could see what was going on, after giving him the keys (29 in total) he couldnt click next. He then looked in to the file and copied the right side addresses clicked next and it said no inputs found see here: https://prnt.sc/hae9gb. Maybe we are doing something wrong im not sure?

 So as much as it was a great idea Jack I don't think I will be able to get round it that way. One thing that is strange on his wallet he has the option to click the SEED icon see here: http://prntscr.com/hadrkz compared to mine: http://prntscr.com/hadteu

Which is find strange? I think I may have configured the wallet incorrectly when setting it up when the hard folk took place

Any other ideas guys?

That must mean that somewhere the transaction got dropped by electron Cash's seevers.
You'll have to try to import the hash of the transactions into your wallet before sending the coins. How many coins does it say you have on his computer though?
