hi ! Smiley

i already own a few btc, i store them partly on coinbase and partly on the electrum wallet (static address/key)

(thanks for the previous advices of some of you btw)

i am also interested in bch, i want to partly store them on coinbase and partly on a wallet which allows the use of a static address/key, and i wonder if electron cash (apparently a clone of electrum but for bch) is trustworthy / safe / reliable ?
electroncash.org

i have seen that there is an apk (android version) on the official website, but also a version on the google app store (by "jonald fyookball" )

can some of you confirm that this wallet is trustworthy / safe / reliable ? (like electrum seems to be...)

thanks!

Yes, it's a clone version of Electrum and yes, it's safe to use.

If your plan is to take the BCH from your wallet in your Electrum I suggest you move the funds first to the new wallet before you import the private key from your Electrum wallet. Because I heard that their Bitcoins has gone after imported the private key of their wallet to Electron.

 If you are recovering some coins older than BSV hard fork, it is important to split your coins first. Otherwise, any transaction you make in one chain will also be made in the other and you coins may become unrecoverable.

As both coins as somewhat valuable, it is important to be careful.

follow this guide:

About replay protection:

There is no replay protection between the BCH (ABC) and the BSV chains. This means that, unless you properly "split" your coins, transactions you make with one of those coins will also be made on the other.



Sending unsplit BCH will result in the same amount of BSV being sent to the same address (and vice-versa). The receiving wallet may not be prepared to accept BSV into their address, so there is a possibility of loss of BSV coins. This is not an issue specific to Coinomi, as any other wallet you use is under the same risk.



How to split coins:

Splitting is only necessary if you had a positive BCH balance on November 15th 2018. If you received either BCH or BSV after that date, they are most likely already split.



Receive a new deposit into your BCH wallet of BCH that is already split. Any value will work, however small. The easiest way is to receive BCH from an exchange. If you are sweeping unsplit BCH/BSV from a paper wallet, you must still receive split BCH from somewhere else before moving to step 2.
After transaction from (1) is confirmed, open the BCH wallet and copy your current BCH "receive" address
On that same BCH wallet, go to the "send" section and send your full BCH balance to it.
Done. This should be enough for your coins to be split. This process only has to be done once. After your coins are split, they are split forever, and further deposits you receive will also most likely already be split.
