Topic: Claiming Bitcoin Cash with Electrum Wallet - page 3. (Read 6933 times)
ok well I have run into an obstacle in getting my EW#1 private keys imported into a bitcoin cash compatible wallet. bitcoincash.org lists the following wallets that support bcc: BitcoinABC, bitcoinclassic, bitcoinunlimited, BXT, Ledger, Trezor, Electron Cash and btc.com The btc.com wallet doesn't allow me to import private keys from another wallet so that is out. Ledger and Trezor are hardware wallets. Electron Cash has been discussed in the other thread and it has some security concerns so that is out. The remaining 4 if I'm not mistaken require me to download the entire blockchain. So do I basically have to do that to be able to import my private keys from my electrum wallet? I'd obviously like to do this as fast as possible. Any ideas?
I think maybe the software electro cash is a scam as I saw my coins and now they disappeared when I turned off the wallet???
Can someone please help me?
Hello I followed this exactly and I did even see 20 BCC in my wallet but was showing a unconfirmed parent warning I closed the wallet and opened it again and the BCC coins disappeared, what can I do, import the keys? or have I been scammed by the software where can I see where the coins were sent too?
Or is there someone sort of delay?

Well there is another thread about the electron cash software and there are definitely some shady things associated with it. That is why I decided to stay away from it altogether!
Update: I've successfully got all my bitcoins out of EW#1 and into EW#2. So now I'm going to import my private keys from EW#1 into a btc.com wallet which supports bitcoin cash and hopefully will be able to claim my bitcoin cash from there.

Hmmm something very strange here.. When I click on "Max" for the amount I want to send, it's topping out at 1.99976402 BTC, so 2 BTC minus the fee. But I have more than 2 BTC in the wallet... So why is it maxing me out at 2? 
Ok another question. As far as transferring all my bitcoins from EW#1 to EW#2, is it just a matter of sending from EW#1 and receiving at EW#2? Or is this where sweeping private keys comes into play?
You can either send or sweep, either is fine. With electrum is cheaper and probably better to send the coins by hitting "max" first (next to the amounts specified).
Ok, so I am going to attempt this today and will go through it step by step in this thread. Hopefully more knowledgeable people than myself can help me do this.
So as I understand it, I need to first move my bitcoins from my electrum wallet (EW#1) into another electrum wallet (EW#2). Then I have to find a bitcoin cash compatible wallet and import my private keys from EW#1.
Also, once I have the bitcoin cash, what is the best way to trade it for BTC? Should I just use an exchange and can someone make a suggestion on which exchange is best for an American to use?
And going back to the bitcoin cash compatible wallet, can anyone make a suggestion on which one to use for that? Electron cash seems like the logical option but the other thread says there are some shady activities associated with it, especially if using the binaries, so I will avoid this option. I was thinking about using btc.com as the wallet to claim the BCC. Can anyone comment on whether this is a good choice or not?
Finally, is it safe to transfer my coins from EW#1 to EW#2 now? Asking this in regards to whether the "dust has settled" after the hard fork.

Yes use an exchange. Ensure the exchange allows you to deposit and withdraw your BCC. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until that becomes avaliable (I'm not sure who allows this yet though).
Electron cash is fairly shady but if it's your only option then go for it (there are a few other options documented on bitcoincash.org if you want to look at them)? That site will also list the exchanges that will allow you to use bcc on them.
Thanks. I think I'll just send them. I use a cold storage wallet and sweeping looks a bit cumbersome having to export the keys from the offline machine.
As far as the exchange, I would be depositing with BCC and withdrawing with BTC though right?
