Hey guys,
I have found my wallet.dat file from 2016 on old drive and I wanted to claim bitcoin cash and eCash from it. (I already moved bitcoin before forks)
I installed a bitcoinABC client and downloaded whole blockchain data, it was showing my balance correctly and I sent it to another eCash wallet but transaction never gets confirmed! I waited a month and transaction haven't role back! also when I installed a BitcoinCashNode, I couldn't see my balance there and wanted to know that what happened to my assets. right now, both BitcoinCashNode and BitcoinABC show my balance 0 and doesn't show the sent transaction!
do you think where my crypto is?
Which wallet are you using? This might be a wallet problem.
I would use Coinomi. I know it is a closed source wallet and there were problems in the past, but you have a lot of forks and this wallet will easily get all of them for you. BCH, BCHA, BSV, BTG, etc etc... coinomi supports most of them and it is safe to just receive coins and send straight away.
You need to be careful and split your coins. There is a nice guide here:
https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000026274Basically, whatever you send on BCH chain will also happen on BSV chain. You need to receive some BCH before transferring them, otherwise your coins won't 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 the address copied above.
-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.
