Topic: Cant send BCH from ledger nano S wtf... 0.50 LTC to 1st person to solve it (Read 285 times)

No... that's not what we're saying... what we're saying is that you are trying to send to the new "CashAddr" format... however, as per my screenshots, "Ledger Wallet Bitcoin" Chrome App DOES NOT support sending to these addresses.


No... you don't send anything to the converter... It isn't a service like Changelly or ShapeShift that you send coins to.

The converter is simply a website service that allows you to convert one Bitcoin Cash address format to another... in this case, you can put a "CashAddr" formatted Bitcoin Cash address (ie. the address that starts "qz" or "bitcoincash:qz") in to the converter and it will allow you to see what the "legacy" address is (ie. the address that starts with a "1").

What you need to realise is that the "qz" address you are trying to send to, and the "1" address that the converter will give you... are THE SAME ADDRESS! They're just written in a different way. For instance:

Format One - "One thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty Eight"
Format Two - 1258

They both represent exactly the same thing, but are just written in different ways...

CashAddr Format - bitcoincash:qpqpphwp2fw2zcjtcptv83gcfnqj2f00r5l96xn7dz
Legacy Format - 16qkTAUmtCdBYfXXKKGKqD8pAYtL1T5pqV

Any BCH sent to either of those addresses will end up in exactly the same place... as they are the same address and are controlled by the same private key!


Did you try following the directions posted earlier?

1. Copy/paste the "qz" address into https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org/
2. Click "convert" button
3. Click the "Legacy" tab
4. You will see the "Legacy" Bitcoin Cash address (it starts with a "1"). This address is the SAME DESTINATION as the "qz" address.
5. You can put the "1" address into the "Send" box of "Ledger Wallet Bitcoin" Chrome app when you are trying to send BCH.

During the setup instead of creating a new wallet you can "use a hardware wallet"

Have you tried sending to the legacy address which starts always with "1"?

Thanks!

Ok so i almost have it.

You guys are saying I cant not send because i have the legacy format of BCH. Witch i guess is ok for now not hurting anything.


 Yes I have tried sending both bitcoin wallet split and bitcoin cash wallet split no luck but dose show my bch.


I am just trying to figure out how this converter works. I think I send to this thing and it send to were I want to go not 100% sure yet still screwing around with it.

Do you mean the converter does not convert your "qz" address... or do you mean that the Ledger wallet still won't accept the "1" address that you got from the converter?

ok i tryed doing the converter and it will not even let me send to that adress

who here has experience with Electron Cash 3.1

is there a way to export my private keys into it? can i convert it and send it back to my ledger. so sorry for all the trouble that is why i was offering the .5 reward

"Ledger Wallet Bitcoin" Chrome App does NOT support the CashAddr format:



Nor can you enter it without the "bitcoincash:" prefix:



If you follow the suggested link: https://cashaddr.bitcoincash.org/ and enter the "CashAddr" address (with or without "bitcoincash:" prefix), you can click on the "Legacy" tab and it will show the old style "1" or "3" address:



Also, perhaps a silly question, but no seemed to ask it yet... you remembered to select "Bitcoin Cash" coin selector "app" on the Ledger device itself right (and NOT "Bitcoin")?

Alright so you can try using a 3rd party wallet. I'd recommend electroncash, which is basically electrum but for BCH (https://electroncash.org). You can set it up with your ledger instead of using the default app and try sending it that way

Tried reinstalling the app? Also you can google for the converter as well, it just makes no sense to me that you trust BCH, but not their official site?

I just tried that absolutely nothing. I dont trust links people post so didn't connect threw that one. I went and found ledger app on chrome and went in that way. so its online and not on the desktop. I have no idea what else to try.

so I send a small amount like 5.00 right. then what happens is there an output address or how dose this work I don't see any you tube on it.

Im suspecting that the problem lies on the address format, rather than the APP itself (because you can send other coins).
So your options on that case would be:

1. The address converter, which i've linked.
2. Using some places, whom support CashAddr format.

You don't have to send all at once, as i have pointed out. I always test the address conversions with a very small amount, to make sure that the converted address works.

Try installing their official chrome app (NOT extension).

This is the Ledger Manager app: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ledger-manager/beimhnaefocolcplfimocfiaiefpkgbf
This is the Ledger Bitcoin App: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ledger-wallet-bitcoin/kkdpmhnladdopljabkgpacgpliggeeaf

there dose not seem to be anything installed in the chrome extension. I am using the desktop software. im looking in apps

1: Go to chrome://apps ... Right click on Ledger Wallet Bitcoin and click uninstall

2: Go to chrome://apps and click on ledger manager. Remove the bitcoin app and reinstall

ok im uninstalling and reinstalling right now wish me luck this is alot of crypto

if this works Seetheummerallyeah going to be .5 ltc richer.

can someone please enplane how to uninstall in windows 10?

Send something like 0.0001BCH to see if the address works. The converter is on official site, so if you trust bitcoincash, i don't see a reason why you would not trust the devs on it. There are Legacy addresses, and Cashaddr addresses. Not all places support CashAddr.

You will not need to put your seed in. Just plug your ledger in and your balances and transactions should show up

Does any message pop up at all when you click send? no nothing happens no message or anything.

If I uninstall and re install will I need to put my seed in.

I don't know about sending 500 BCH to a random address for I don't trust. I think Im going to well not do that unless I have to.

Enter the address and copy the address from the "Legacy" tab which starts with 1 instead. Send to that address and let me know if that works.

How so? CashAddr should be in the following format i think: bitcoincash:qpe5ycrs9yw475nap75xkg2jcsfrq8rvnc3v48ndr2

Edit: Yes i have been mistaken, but i'd still suggest to use the converter tool.
