I have BTC in Bitcoin Core, have never claimed BCH. I tried the Coinomi method and it did not work to claim the BCH.
What exactly did you try? And why did you try this already if you still need to move your Bitcoin to a new safe address?
These are the basic steps:
-move all your Bitcoins to a new address
-export the private keys to the Bitcoin addresses that held your coins at the moment of the fork
-sweep the private keys into Coinomi, do this for Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and Bitcore
Thanks much for your help, I will move those asap glad to get them off and be safe while I try to get the BCH. I tried using the Coinomi method by taking the private key to the received address, and then it said something like "nothing found" - I forget the exact error I tried this about 2 months ago. I realized later I should not even mess with these keys and stopped from there, should have moved really before I tried it. When searching online I found some other people had this error as well and were unable to claim via Coinomi. Based on what I read then, it had something to do with the Key not starting with the right digit/letter.
Should I then try the ABC method of copying the folders to another PC or is there another better method?
