What a bunch of cutthroats.

On the other hand, whoever believes this kind of people, kind of deserve to get ripped off by them.

Just to confirm, no issues with EC after 20 days using it.

and taking into consideration that this is your first post here and you are offering someone to "call you" we should take this seriously?
for real?

I wouldn't even reply to this kind of nonsense but I'm afraid that there are too many crypto newbies around last few months so this is heads up for them.

cheers.

Hello, I had problems with electron cash, already solved. I also helped a group of friends recover the bch / bcc from their wallets. If anyone has problems too, you can call me at [email protected]. I know how annoying the situation is. hugs.

Restarting it did the trick in the end, was stuck on synchronizing forever but after that was fine Smiley

Most likely, yes...

It would seem that your wallet still thinks it has certain inputs which have already been spent on the blockchain, so the server you're trying to send through is rejecting because it can see they're spent.

You might want to check what server you're connected to. Earlier versions of ElectronCash had a bad habit of connecting to BTC servers Tongue If it isn't synchronised within 10 minutes, something is seriously wrong.

Tried sending some Bitcoin cash from ElectronCase 3.0 today after importing private keys from older Bitcoin wallet.

But when I try to send I get an error message with the words 'missing inputs' in it?

Is this partly to do with the fact that it still says "Synchronizing..." in the corner?  Seems to be taking forever to fully synchronize, hmm...

How bout using electrum and electron in 1 computer?
There is no issue with this... They use different install and different data directories... so anything you do with one will not affect the other. You can even run Electrum and ElectronCash at the same time.

AFAIK you shouldn't have any problems with that from latest versions.
you can always split by using VM with linux mint for example on top of your windows.
that's how I use it.

Thank you for warning the community. Sites like these do us a great deal of harm, especially among people with less tech knowledge.

No problems with Electron Cash.

Swept BTC wallet, got BCH in a sec, they were on Electron Cash for some time until i transferred them successfully to exchange.
No problems, easy, no hassle.

People who have problems are either wrong or they downloaded some bad versions.
I, of course, downloaded from official site and compared hash.

Oh, really? I tried again and again in August but didn't try again recently. It was a multisig, 1of3, not 2FA. So you say they have fixed it? Do you also know when?
Like... a couple of days after the fork as far as I'm aware: https://github.com/fyookball/electrum/issues/67

Basically, they had some issues with signing when using MultiSig, but I'm fairly certain it got sorted out... It was just the issues with 2FA that kept going and going... mostly because people were unable to read Roll Eyes If multisig signing wasn't working, then the restored 2FA "workaround" probably wouldn't be working (as that has to use two sigs to sign a transaction)

So, theoretically, you can either just load up a copy of your MultiSig wallet in ElectronCash, or you can attempt to recreate the MultiSig by creating a 1of3 and using the xprv and two xpubs from your Electrum MultiSig wallet.

Tha bad thing about Electron Cash is that it does NOT allow you to redeem the BCC from the BTCs that you were helding in a Electrum multisig address.
If that Electrum MultiSig was actually an Electrum 2FA wallet... you CAN get it out... relatively easily too... you just restore the wallet from seed and use "disable" when asked if you want to keep or disable 2FA functionality. It will then let you sign and broadcast transactions without requiring TrustedCoin.

If it was a normal MultiSig, you can still get it out... in fact, I thought they'd actually fixed it so that MultiSigs worked correctly without any issues? Huh

Thanks for the warming and I think users of Electron Cash should tread with caution. Prevention they say is better than all!

I think electroncash is legit software. I tried it many times, it works badly but it at least works as intended in the end. I could deposit or sell my btc cash quite easily.

I really wish all this FUD about ElectronCash would just stop... it's opensource... it's clean... it's safe... This thread should be locked. Undecided

To the best of my knowledge. Not one single person who downloaded ElectronCash from the OFFICIAL site: https://electroncash.org/#download has lost either BTC or BCH because of something that ElectronCash has done.

It is NOT the fault of ElectronCash dev's that people are stupid and download scam versions of the software from scam sites... or they're careless with their private keys/seeds... or that they have pre-existing malware/keyloggers on their computers.

Take the proper precautions ie. move your BTC to a completely new wallet, not just new addresses... a completely new wallet with new seed... BEFORE you try and get your BCH and you will have no problems.

I've been running ElectronCash since it came out in August... ALL my BTC and BCH are still safe.
