I am back again with another query
i am trying to claim my BCH from this old wallet but every time i try and sweep the private keys i have it says 'no input found'
i have tried using the 2 private keys i successfully swept for BTC in my new electrum wallet but got the same result
are they not the correct keys? do i need to find some others?
thanks
If you successfully swept BTC from them, then the private-keys are valid (the same private-key is valid for BTC and BCH).
My guess is that there is no BCH in the wallet, so there is no inputs to spend. Did you make sure the address isn't empty by searching them in a BCH explorer[1]?
