Topic: Do Not Use Electron Cash! - page 8. (Read 33506 times)

So yeah, Electron Cash works just fine. Mostly.

This is a problem I have with Electrum as well, but back when I was mining, I have one address that had 600+ transactions. I managed to consolidate them down in Electrum and send them to my new Electrum wallet.

But when I try to send off my BCC using Electron Cash, the whole wallet hangs up when I import that address's private key... It's a nightmare. So I essentially have a whole BTC in that address that is stuck for the time being.

I've tried about 10 times to get it working with no results. I'm even thinking of downloading the entire blockchain with bitcoin unlimited to send it that way, but it's gonna' take a while. o_o

Just chiming in to say I've used Electron Cash several times now, and sent a transaction once. Worked every time. One time it did start up on the wrong block chain, but I just manually corrected it per:

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/6qyn18/electroncash_notice_how_to_select_bitcoincash/

It happened to me too. My BCC was found in the BCC Blockchain but was not received in my Electron Wallet.

How can i claim it?

It seems it copies them only for convenience, but if you're using portable wallets then you don't need to worry about that. Just make sure you choose the server manually when you run it the first time, to make sure you get a BCH server and not a BTC one.

Does it truly copy wallets from other electrum installations?

I am using portable electrum and store files on usb stick so I suppose I am safe from that right?

does someone got a password already attributed with electron cash? I did and I dont know why ,and how to change this password :/

edit: just created a new wallet and imported directly my private key, everything ok  !

Same here coins away Electron worked as advertised, no more BCH for me.

i send my BTC To exchanger so my Computer will have no BTC at all and it's really fast, just send my BTC to exchanger and then the transaction is show in my exchanger only need more confirmation,this electrum wallet is really good.i will use it in future.

I'm not exactally sure how you accomplished this because according to their own F.A.Q.

price will be .1 BTC, same on hitbtc. If you hold I'd sell.

1, As long as you see your bcash you can send them.
3, The blocks are coming fast enough now. Cryptopia have opened up for deposits.

One of my buddies said it works. 

But warns not to click the 2FA which caused him problems for several hours.

1+3 check block number and rate here

2 don't use the same key to encrypt wallet so it can not open other wallet

Hi,

A few questions, answers are very much appreciated.


1.
Does it matter which BCC server I select? (Network/Tools)

Is this one okay for example?: "bcc.arihanc.com"

Since the instructions of this article:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@electroncash/electron-cash-how-to-check-you-are-on-the-bitcoin-cash-chain
- state that I have to select one that starts with "651e". None of the 9 nodes appearing starts with this sequence tho. So I just manually selected the above mentioned one.. And after selecting it, it went to the proper display of funds (where before my funds appeared as uncorfirmed sent out funds)

It also didn't detect a chain split when I went to tools/network, which was stated as seomthing that should occure in the article. It just loaded all blocks. And then I could manually select a node, which seems to display the rigth BCC balance now.. So everything seems to be in order, but I'd like to be sure. So Am I in the clear and free to use my BCC?

2.
Also what are the risks of using Electron Cash on the same Device where you have Electrum installed. Do this risks only apply when you use both wallets simultaniously? Or in general? Since I am not using the old Electrum now (have sent my BTC balance to a different wallet). But the software is still installed on my PC.

3.
Is there any time indication of when the network will produce enough blocks to move around funds conveniently to other wallets and exchanges?



Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Tom

Thank you for your concern, but what is our best use?

I want to but bitcoin cash. Inbox me.

The price is going down sharply soon. The scope is for buying and selling for profit fast.

Inbox me if you want to sell.

IMHO if you haven't touched that ~3.95 BTC in a month,you do not have to hurry to get BCC now,in the rush something can go wrong,better beware,better use for example some block explorer to see your balance only,one for BTC and another for BCC.  

Okay wow, I'm stupid. Yeah, I totally neglected to see that I needed to basically make a new wallet.

Hopefully this works.

Then  is always good first to read things before of  doing anything to avoid bad steps that culminate in losing everything,so it's worth wasting a little time before doing it,otherwise anybody  can finish wasting more time trying of fix the things,another very important thing is that everybody should always visit the official sites as in this case visit the official electrum website,if there is a situation of not being sure about what to do it is better to wait.

Not to see, but to be on the safe side of things:)
Also something like this - https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/6qyn18/electroncash_notice_how_to_select_bitcoincash/

Not sure I did it differently a bit. Unchecked auto-connect and just opened my old wallet from dat. Changed nothing in networks as I remember.
Now waiting for exchanges to enable deposits... when the network will start moving.
