BitCoin Cash

[ajiz138]

Electrum addresses are only specific to Bitcoin and not other coins.

But there are ways you can take to recover your Bitcoin Cash.

You only need to Export Private Key to the Electrum wallet, then download the Electroncash Wallet specifically for Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

You can import the private key that you exported earlier to electroncash. then you can get your bitcoin cash back and can move it to another wallet or exchange.

Sorry for the late reply

It's fine, thanks for the reply.

it's about me not completely trusting electron cash's Dev team. Electrum is written by Thomasv, it has been community vetted so many times... Electron cash is a fork of electrum that has been modified. After these modifications, I don't feel it has been reviewed quite that much, so I don't feel secure importing keys or seeds into a wallet I don't fully trust, and keep on using said keys or seeds afterwards.

This is not an accusation tough...

Yeah, it's a legit concern and should clear all the ambiguity from your previous answer, or in other words, it's about Electron Cash "security."
(Not about Electrum export/sweep, assumed that the environment is safe).

It's good to be skeptical in this space.

Hi all,
i'm new in this forum and in this world.
Yesterday i done my first mistake: i sent BCH from CoinBase to my own Electrum's address. Well, did i defininitively lose my BCH? Is there a way to find it and send it to CoinBase again (or to other wallet or somthing similar)?
Is it possible that my BCH don't exsit anymore in anywhere?

Thanks if someone can help me to understand...

You are strange, making writing that is hard to believe. How could anyone send a BCH to the Electrum wallet. From the number of characters the wallet address is different.
Electrum wallet address is 98 characters.
The BCH wallet address is 42 characters.

So do not cheat with things that are not possible.

Would I say BCH is one of the coins I so much appreciate its move once market resuscitate, bitcoincash usually increase together with BTC and ETH and it moves almost faster than others...even if you buy it at low once market moves BCH will likely move, from experience it's one of the coins I love many things about it.

i don't know where you are getting these number of characters from! bitcoin's mainnet addresses are between 25 and 34 characters long for version 1 base58 and they are 42 character long for bech32 SegWit addresses! Electrum can create both.

and like all the shitcoins that copied bitcoin, bcash is also copying everything so a bitcoin base58 address is a valid bcash address and if someone weren't careful they can make mistakes like OP

[justdimin]

The first mistake OP did was to have bitcoin cash to begin with. It is a fake currency created by miners to make sure they can scam the traders as much as they can and scam the people who send and receive bitcoin (or btc cash) in order to profit even more.

These are corporations that only cares about how much money they make and they do not care about anything else, that is why they can't be really responsible if they end up scamming you and you end up with a lot less money than you started with, why would they be responsible for stealing from you, it is obvious and they are practically yelling it and you are still dealing with bitcoin cash which is close to a consent of your money being stolen and you being fine with it. Second part was just him sending it to wrong place.

After the hard fork it is not BCH you can either get BSV or BCHABC. So, even if insert the private key to any BCH wallet you need receive both BSV and BCHABC.
