Bcash is a scam, stay away.
Sauaba, you obviously did not read my post so you asking same questions again. ElectronCash is legit software if you download it from official site, but it is up to you to trust something or not, no one can guarantee complete safety when using any software.
Do you trust your operating system? I do not trust to my Windows 7 blindly, but I still use it every day. Is there an alternative to Windows or any wallet based on Electrum? Of course the answer is yes, switch to Linux and buy hardware wallet, 99% of your concerns will be removed.

And what about Electroncash? It looks to be based on Electrum, but uses just BCH. Can I trust this program?
Blindly trust it? No.But it's a quite safe software which is maintained by a known name in the BCH community (it's not from the original Electrum team). I've used it to "claim" my BCH before and I know many people use it to hold their BCH.

Not the wallets have to be trusted, but the developers.
actually you should not trust developers either (no offense to any of them but i wouldn't exclude any of them just because of their history). instead you should only trust in the code since everything is open source.
it is your money after all and the more you own the more you should care about what is going on under the hood even if you are not able to read code yourself.
ThomasV is only develop Electrum for bitcoin, but there are some others wallet based on Electrum which have existed for years and have been shown as trusted. I have personally used ElectronCash for BCH, ElectrumLTC for Litecoin and ElectronDash for DASH. How much can I see on their official sites, developers of this wallets are active and new releases follow current events.
My opinion is that your advice has no legitimate basis, maybe you not trust in something for your own personal reasons, but that is not the reason why others should avoid something.

As for my self, i do not trust a random developer (Calin Culianu ??) who decided to voluntarily develop a free wallet for a currency which is doomed to fail and which was obviously just an attempt of a few people to get rich quick.
I never said people should avoid it.. there is a difference between not trusting and avoiding.
I am just saying that there isn't a single reason why he should be trusted.
Also.. the instructions to verify the files which are on github also urge to think that he is not the brightest person alive..
Instead of simply signing the files OR creating 1 signed text file with the hashes inside.. he created 1 signed text file per downloadable file containing 1 hash each
Electrum is a pure bitcoin wallet. There are non-official forks for other currencies (but these are not developed by ThomasV and should NOT be trusted).

Bitcoin and bcash are two completely different currencies.
Electrum is a pure bitcoin wallet. There are non-official forks for other currencies (but these are not developed by ThomasV and should NOT be trusted).
If someone sends bcash to your bitcoin address, you will be able to recover them using a different (bcash-)wallet.. but you won't be able to view / send them with your electrum wallet.

Hi.
first I want to say that Electrum is really great. After Multibit discontinued their product, I use just Electrum.
But I have a question.
Does Electrum accept also currencies like Bitcoin Cash?
If I create a wallet address to receive Bitcoin and send it to my client (who uses just Bitcoin Cash), do I also receive it or just Bitcoin?
Thanks in advance for any help.
