I suspect you simply missed the change addresses when exporting the keys from your core wallet.

So when you sent the BTC out, it would have take all the BTCs from the change addesses as well. However, you've only exported the keys for your 8 "receive" addresses... and not your "change" addresses (FYI, these don't show up in Bitcoin Core when you goto "File -> Receiving addresses" list)

Have a look at the actual transaction(s) where you sent all the BTC from Bitcoin Core to your new Core Wallet on a blockexplorer... how many addresses show there? Did you import the keys for ALL of those addresses into ElectronCash?

That would explain it. Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out tonight and write here, if this solve the problem  Wink

Electron cash has 100 inputs limit per wallet as i know.
to solve this, you have to Sweep funds from wallet to your Electron cash wallet, this could take 2 or 3 sweeps if you have many inputs on your wallet.

You can try to follow this step b step tutorial using Electron cash :

Hi,
with the info I could find the missing BCCs and add them to my wallet.
The crucial point is to find the corresponding addresses with the "Total unspent (balance)" and to add them with the private key to the wallet.
Thanks to both of you!  Wink

Hi there ,
to extract the BCCs from my old core wallet, I transferred my BTCs to a new core wallet and export the private keys for the 8 existing addresses of my old core wallet. The import of the private keys into ElectronCash could be successfully carried out. However, the amount of BCCs represented in the ElectonCash Wallet does not match the previously transferred amount of BTCs in the new Wallet by about -10% (all transferred BTCs were already in the old Wallet as of August 1.).
For further testing I have imported the private keys into an Electrum Wallet. In Electrum I am on 0 BTCs, just like in the Core Wallet. The amount I transferred to the new core wallet does not match about -10% of my actual BTCs also.
I notice that ElectronCash and Electrum represent already transferred amounts in a different way and doesn't list some of the transfers at all. I exported all transfers for the Electrum and Core Wallet and imported them into Excel, compared and calculated them. Both wallets calculate absolutely correct, but the Core Wallet has a lot more entries, which is probably why this different credit has been created.
Nevertheless, the old Core Wallet only knows 8 addresses, which were all successfully exported and then imported into another Wallet.
Does anyone have any idea how such a difference in the wallet can occur?
