Topic: Has anyone been able to send a transaction using Electrum/ Electron Cash so far? - page 2. (Read 7742 times)

You sir are the man I thank you very much for the help. So I realized my error, I was trying to recreate the wallet with the seed from the initial BCC on Electron Cash rather than the seed from the original BTC wallet. So to sum it up, HCP's "please wait" workaround works perfectly, you simply must use your original Electrum BTC seed not your Electron Cash seed.


Also would advise not to use 2FA on Electrum and Electron Cash due to these issues.

You shouldn't need to delete anything or use a different computer.

If your "old 2fa wallet" that you can open in ElectronCash shows BCH, but when you "restore" your seed and the "new 2fa (disabled) wallet" shows 0, then I suspect you are actually restoring a completely different seed! Are the addresses in the two wallets the same?

Tried this exact process again and the new 2fa (disabled) wallet opens in Electron Cash but no BCC show up in it.

Question, do I need to delete the old 2fa wallet file that works with my BCC? Or should I try this process on a completely different machine and maybe it will work then?

Does your seed restore your normal 2FA wallet in Electrum ok? If it does, then you should be able to restore it in Electrum and select the "Disable" option. You should then be able to open the "disabled" wallet file in ElectronCash and get access to your BCH.

I've tested this.. it works

Unfortunately..

We are working on it too..
Very stupid thing, cuz I need and want my BCH

@edit

If anyone have any idea... all people who have same issue will appreciate! ..

Klerni is correct. I did this exact same process and the BCC stay with the original 2FA wallet which unfortunately nobody can current transfer any coins out of.  Will keep trying to find a solution to this.

So if you restore using your seed and making it 2FA, it has BCH, but if you restore and disable 2FA it doesn't? That doesn't seem right

I mean that first time after I installed Electron Cash, it automatically found correct wallet from Electrum where are Bitcoin Cash. I can see them, but this wallet is under 2FA, so nothing can do. I made copy of my priv keys and seed just after I created my first and only wallet in Electrum.. I have them and it cannot be something else. Unfortunately if I'm creating wallet in way you said, there are no BCH if I'm opening them in Electron Cash... Really

The seed is the starting point... The whole point is that it will recreate the same wallet every time you restore with the same addresses and same transactions etc.

I don't understand what you mean by "wallet on your PC (2FA) has BCC"... What other wallet have you generated that has 0 BCC?

It's more than strange, but in wallet I've generated in that way there is 0 BCC

on wallet which I have on my PC (2FA), there are BCC.

I don't know, but maybe it's generating new private keys, because it has generated new wallet basing on seed.. The problem is that on BTC wallet there are no BTC anymore and its long time after fork, so new private keys don't contain old informations.

Ok... so I think I've found a way to work around the "Please wait" issue

Short Version: Use Electrum to create your "disabled" 2FA wallet, then open that wallet in ElectronCash

---

Long Version (with pictures):

Requirements:
-Electron Cash v2.9.3 that can be downloaded here: http://electroncash.org/
-Electrum v2.9.3 that can be downloaded here: https://electrum.org/#download
-Your TrustedCoin 2FA wallet 12 word recovery seed. If you don't have this, you cannot recover the funds under any circumstances


1. Open Electrum. Do NOT open ElectronCash just yet.

2. "File" -> "New\Restore", Type a wallet name. I'd suggest using something easy to remember. Click "Next":




3. Select the second option "Wallet with two-factor authentication" and click "Next":




4. You will see the TrustedCoin disclaimer. Click Next.

5. Select the second option: "I already have a seed" and click Next:




6. Type your 12 word recovery seed (you should see a message appear next to the "Options" button that says "Seed Type: 2FA"). Click Next

7. Select the second option: "Disable" (This is VERY important) and click Next:




9. You will then be prompted to create a password for the wallet. This is optional, but recommended. After a few seconds, Electrum will recover your wallet using your seed and then you'll see this window:




10. Click "File" again and then click "Save copy". Now in the next window, it will give you the option of saving a backup of the wallet. Pick an easy to find location like the Desktop as you will need to find this wallet again soon. Also, use an easy to remember name and click "Save". You will see a message box confirming the location where you saved the wallet backup. Click "OK" and then close Electrum.

11. Now, open up ElectronCash

12. "File" -> "Open". Look for the wallet backup file you just saved in step #10. (Note: If you used a password for the wallet at step #9, you will be prompted to enter the password.)

13. You should now have your "disabled" 2FA wallet open in ElectronCash, ready for spending your BCH

It gets stuck on "please wait" after you enter the seed to restore the wallet to a standard wallet. Using Electron Cash 2.9.2 on a MAC. Not sure what else to try. 

Where exactly is it getting stuck? when you try to restore the wallet using your 2FA seed? or when you are trying to send the BCH transaction?

I tried this same process but its getting stuck as well. Did you ever figure a better option out?

Could I just remove the wallet file from my MAC and then reinstall the newer version  of electron cash and restore the seed?

yes of course, but it's not responding .

Have you tried restoring as a "standard" wallet? It'll detect it as a 2FA seed after you type it in... And it should then go to the "keep or disable" screen after you click Next...

Unfortunately it's not working.. But right now we are working with my friends on extracting multi-sig private keys from seed, to avoid all this process

Will inform you how we solved it if we do it

Thank you

Very strange... I just tested this and I had the same issue, New -> 2FA -> "I already have a seed" -> stuck on "please wait" screen...

Even tried "standard" -> "I already have a seed" -> enter 2FA seed -> stuck on "please wait" screen... So I shut ElectronCash down, restarted the app and it worked!!?!

Shut it down again, restarted the app and tried again and "please wait"... Shutdown/restart again and it worked! So it seems to be a bit of a random error...

All I can suggest is shutting it down and then restarting and trying until it works.

I have 11 transactions there.

Just changed server but while "restoring" seed its not working.. Just look

It stucked in this place and I can wait for hours, nothing change.. Same happens on two different macbooks.

Does your 2FA wallet have a lot of transactions in it? Like hundreds of transactions or only a few transactions? It is also possible that the ElectronCash server that your ElectronCash client is connected to is having some issues... so, maybe try changing the server.

Note: You may need to just create a "dummy" wallet so you can actually get into ElectronCash and go into "Tools -> Network" and set the server manually... try the bcc.arihanc.com one
