Greetings
I followed the instructions to the letter and I had success with the process without issue but I am having a hard time understanding the transaction to my exchange. After the "sweep" I had a little over 41 coins in my electron cash wallet. I sent them to BITTREX. My account at BITTREX confirms the transaction as a deposit but I have been credited 0.041 BCC Not the 41. I sent. I seem to be having trouble with the math...
*** Checking my wallet it seems the sweep provided mBch coins - What the heck?

thanks for the post. I am trying since days to claim my existing BCH which are still sit in my pre-fork Electron Wallet via ElectronCash 2.9.4. However, whatever I do (import my old private keys or the seed of the pre-fork wallet) nothing helps and i cannot retrieve the Bitcoin Cash coins into Electron. I know that they are there though since I checked the status via blockchair.com and entered my old wallet address...there I can see that the BCH's are there still.. what can I do or what do I do wrong? Please help!!
make sure you're using Electron Cash wallet (for Bitcoin Cash), because Electrum released many similar wallets for Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, ..etc
it should works fine if you follow this tutorial correctly.
thanks. I am using Electron Cash 2.9.4. version (just released 3 days ago) and following exactly all the steps in this tutorial. But it shows zero balance...I don't know what to do anymore. Who can help with such an issue?
i used Electron Cash 2.9.2 in my tutorial. maybe you can try again with old Electron Cash 2.9.2 version you can get it from here :

or you may try to use another wallet, other than Electron Cash, i guess you can find more wallets supporting Bitcoin Cash.

How do I claim my BCC in the view that my BTCs at the moment of the fork were on an Electrum MULTISIG wallet? (address starting with number 3). I have tried it the common way but it doesn't work. Anyone having successfully managed it?
address should starts with number 1 or 5, or with letters L or K
Well, my address starts with number 3, probably because it is a 1of3 multisignature address of an Electrum wallet. So not clear what to do now.
-Electrum
1) Open the menu "View" and click on "Show Addresses"
2) Then open the new tab "Addresses"
3) Ritgh click on the addresses that had Bitcoin before the fork, then click "Private key".
4) Click on the qrcode icon to show it.
5) Sweep keys into your Bitcoin Cash wallet.

How do I access the step by step for claiming my Bitcoin Cash and Exchanging it?
Can't seem to find it. All my bitcoins are stored on Ledger.

1) Upgrade the chrome extension Ledger Manager to 1.0.3 or upper
2) Upgrade the chrome extension Ledger Wallet Bitcoin to 1.8.4 or upper
3) From the ledger Bitcoin wallet you can use the same seed by clicking on [Main], or by creating a new dedicated seed for Bitcoin Cash by clicking on [Split]
then import keys into your bitcoin cash wallet.

you should have both BTC and BCH and soon BTG from the fork, all equal to your bitcoins when fork happen.
So I am a bit confused. I keep hearing about free bitcoins with this fork. And all you have to do is claim your Bitcoin Cash, transfer it and exchange your Bitcoin Cash to the original Bitcoin. However sweep private keys from your Multibit wallet with the Electron Cash wallet, it isn't claiming free coins, it is exchanging them. It actually deducted BTC from my Multibit Wallet, and converted them in the BTC (Electron Cash) wallet.
Seems to me I lost a ton of money because 1 BTC is not the same as 1 BCC.
Do I understand this correctly? Sweeping your Multbit private keys into Electron Cash wallet removes BTC out of your Multibit wallet?
Thanks.
[UPDATE] So apparently Multibit Classic didn't understand the fork. I swept the private key into Electrum, and the full amount transferred in. Nothing to see here.

hope you have better luck with Bitcoin Gold

can you give me your wallet address?
i check it how much funds it has.
Instead I just downloaded the Electron Cash wallet from the link you posted. Came up as a Trojan straight away, so after cleaning my computer I went to the proper website for the latest version. However this did not help any, it only found a very small fraction of my funds which is not worth bothering with. So I think I will give up on this.
Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial. I think many of the beginners needed this kind of steps. I too heard that Bittrex did this ridiculous limit to all the accounts and it will definitely affect them.
Actually having this kind of information for the people who experience different type of transaction could help new people here in the bitcoin system. It is a good thing for bitcoin because it could actually a factor for bitcoin development in the future that could also help bitcoin development as a part of innovation on its transactions, value , price and also the security in every investments and trading people would do.Ah, all right.
Problem - the Blockchair site gives a strange result. It does not recognise that I had a btc balance at 1st August; it thinks all my deposits were spent. But they are not, I had a balance of about 3/4 btc.
So - if I try to recover bcc/bch from this bitcoin core wallet, can I be confident that I can claim something? The previous link you posted makes no sense, as I'm not interested in creating a paper wallet which is all it is promoting.
To set up an Electron Cash wallet - fine. I can provide private keys, fine. But do they use the Blockchair system of calculating btc balances, or is that done another way? I'm not sure I want to go though that process and be told there is nothing to claim, when I know there certainly is. I cannot understand the Blockchair process that came up with such a wrong result.
Can you give some insight into what goes on behind the scenes?

@qjiggy sorry but i don't understand your problem 
I thought I made it clear that, at fork time, and well before that too, there was a definite unspent balance in my wallet.
I even repeated the blockchairing exercise just to make sure I had all the details right. This is not confidence-inspiring.

try to insert your PK on this site while you're offline after page load :
http://bitaddreses.org/
Wallet Details > enter private key and view details.
it will give your 2 private keys (one on right, and one on left), one is your entered one and other is compressed private key.
try to import the other private that you don't insert, hope BCC are there.
In any case, it's not the PK I'm worried about just now, I didn't need it at the Blockchair site, they just asked for the wallet addresses. I haven't got to the stage of wanting to import keys, I'm still wondering where my btc balance went...
BTW I had to change the link to bitaddresses because the other one does not work.
