Very Important Question!

[alifrenstein]

Suppose i had 50 btc in my electrum wallet during the fork. I want to claim my bch (bitcoin cash) so i save my seed and private keys from my electrum wallet and then move all my funds to block.io wallet. Then i delete electrum from my pc and install electrun cash. Then i claim my bch from electrun cash wallet using the private keys of the empty electrum wallet. Is there still a risk that i can lose my btc or bch?

If your wallets are well separed one from another, it is since your bitcoins are on block.io, there is no risk, at least from what I understood.

Yes they are, but i heard that its too risky to install electrun cash in the same pc that electrum was installed, and i have only one pc. So even if i delete electrum and all the funds are moved to block.io, there is still a risk using electrun cash to claim my bch?

You can now use Bitcoin as you were previously. For more info, including how to claim your BCH (optional), you can check here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059111.0

no if you move and wait enough confirmations there is no risk of replay attack, but just be sure to be connected with a bitcoin cash node and not bitcoin, otherwise you won't get anything out of your private key

yes because you are using block.io which is a web wallet known to have some troubles in the past and i don't even know if it is trusted or not. and even if it is, you are still using a "web wallet" not cold storage!

and why not just install the bitcoin cash wallet on another computer?
even if you don't have another computer there are still workarounds like using a virtual machine or a linux live on CD or something like that. it is a lot better than using a little known web wallet!

There is still a risk in your way if you were about to do that. You can still lose btc because you stored it into a web wallet, and you put in to much. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try claiming your bcc if your transaction in btc got many confirmations already. Then put the remaining btc that you will have on another wallet with another private key but before doing that, format your computer after converting bcc just to be sure before moving all your btc on other wallet with another private key.

Those who have BTC on blockchain.info/wallet, did they get BCH or BCC?

The cash wallet also has an Android client. Try it and see if it works on your device. It should allow you to.move out coins without any troubles as to how this wallet would affect the other.

Yes if you do take in a good iron safe your wallet and key all records from a wallet that threats do not have to.
