Hi

I have unclaimed BCHA (now eCash) sitting in my Android mobile Bitpay wallet, but I can't find the private keys of the address, how to do that ?
Whenever I try it takes to a private key encoding my wallet, not a specific address.

Did you contact the support before post here ? There should be a support on how to extract the private keys.

I just did that and they gave me a way to get the private keys, not directly from bitpay wallet but through electron cash, which worked and now I am safely transferring my BCH to a totally new wallet and my ecash to an exchange to cash in a couple thousand dollars, christmas was early this year.

Glad to hear that you succeeded solving your problem.

I wish also to know more details about how you got them exactly. I have an old bitpay wallet too but i don't know if i own BCH from the fork as BCH wasn't yet supported by BitPay apps..

If you are willing to get BCH from 2017 bitcoin fork, i think it would be a little bit harder, as new bitpay client versions don't seem to support the fork ad old versions will be hard to use if you lost access to it (no seed, no passord...)
Private keys in BitPay are encrypted by the password you set, you should be able to decrypt them using the same password. And bsed on your description, you seem not having the password anymore of your old wallet.

What do you mean by a "private key encoding your wallet"? Do you mean its a mnemonic or starts with xprv? Can you give us the letter it starts with if it's just a bunch of characters?

Yes I only found the xprv, starting xprv9s......

I need the private key of 2 BCH addresses, I go to the wallet and find only the addresses or the Copayer 0 public key starting as xpub6DE...
