You could use your cell-phone ?

How and in what way?


Do you have an USB stick? Electrum has a portable version too...

No I don't have.

To be honest, I wouldnt do anything if I were you for now. Wait until all this dust and madness settles. This is a very good opportunity for hackers and scammers to make money. Right its still very risky.

See this person has lost 45 BTC from an "Electrum" wallet.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/release-the-hounds-458-btc-stolen-electrum-walletcom-criminal-sticky-pls-2059967

Get your game girl

I have a lot of BTC in my Electrum wallet, and I want to get my BCC, but the problem is that I only have one machine.

You are going to end up loosing all your bitcoins. I dont understand why people are in such a rush. I dont even see your Electron Cash wallet on the list of BCH supporting wallets. Are you sure this wallet supports BCH? Which Electrum are you using because I looked on https://electrum.org and theres nothing about Electron Cash
Yes,there are risks still involved.The other wallet is not associated with the original electrum in any ways.Although it has been listed on BCH's official website but it isn't advised to move your coins in it yet as there are security issues.Especially if you're technically weak.

Yes, I am sure. I am using the normal electrum wallet from electrum.org and I know that my funds are safe there, so I can't take any risk.

Please check this about Electron Cash: https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt

Maybe I should just wait until there will be another solution and it won't be obligatory to use more than one machine...

I hope that someone can help me and provide me with a solution. It's pretty urgent, because I expect BCC price to drop down a lot soon as too many people will sell their BCCs, and I don't want to miss this opportunity... Sad

Hello friends! I need your help.

I have a lot of BTC in my Electrum wallet, and I want to get my BCC, but the problem is that I only have one machine.

Therefore, I am very afraid to take any risk because I read these instructions in the Electrum site:

 1. Install Electron Cash on a machine that does not have your
 Electrum wallets.

 2. Wait until the BCC hard fork has taken place, and a few BCC blocks
 have been mined.

 3. Move all your Electrum funds to a new Electrum wallet. This will
 move only your BTC, and not your BCC, because the BCC blockchain has
 replay protection. Wait until the transaction is confirmed.

 4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in
 Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet,
 entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds
 at risk.


I wanted to ask, if I install VMware Workstation in my PC and create a virtual machine and use it for Electron Cash, is there still a risk?
