I tried on a different phone and it worked there (using the "normal" key I get from multibit and from a qr code was fine).
I guess it was some problem with the wallet. Got no warnings on the google play, but I guess it didn't work very well on my phone.

All fine now, thanks for your help.

I'm glad that it worked

We finally managed to do that

If you re-read the discussion, seems like coinomi was just a little buggy. Try to use it on a different phone and make the import multiple times, it should work. Do not use QR, copy-paste or insert the priv key manually. Avoid electron cash if possible, ABC wallet would be slower but more secure.

Do not install ABC in the same partition ad QT-core wallet

Just saw the thread. Thanks man, I guess I will try it a few more times, and on a different phone as well.
I will let you know if it worked for me as well. I guess it should only be a matter of time apparently.

Arena that coinomi can be a little biggy sometimes, maybe try another wallet. Eas it a bip38 encypted privkey?

When I export the key on multibit classic it says base58.
I heard blockchain.info was going to have BCH as well, maybe they will credit the coins for me. If not I will install electron on another computer and try it.

I'm actually in a very long discussion with someone having your same problem, he is downloading ABC wallet now.
Have a look, maybe it can be of some help:

Yes, just saw it, and it's exactly the same thing. Although we did not use the same wallet, we both imported the address to blockchain.info at some point, and we both don't that that message on coinomi, where we should see the balance that would be transferred. It says creating transaction and then it jumps to balance with 0 BCH. I have a friend that used coinomi wiith no problems, I guess I will see if I can use his phone or something. If not, I will keep an eye on the other thread,to see if the ABC worked. I can also try to get electron on another computer or virtual machine. I really preferred coinomi because it was so much easier :/

I was able to import a Multibit Classic private key into a Bitcoin Core wallet.dat (and then spending the BTC and finally running the wallet.dat in Bitcoin ABC with the -zapwallettxes command line option).

I assume that importing the private key into Bitcoin ABC directly should be exactly the same as importing it into Bitcoin Core, and I expect this to work for you.

I see you was online. You don't need to tip if you don't feel to, but please let me know if my method worked, if it didn't I will try to help you at my best

I've tried it now, but it didn't work. The Private Key WIF Compressed was the one I already have. With that one, everything seems to work, I make the sweep, it say creating transfer or transaction or something like that, but it all stays the same and nothing is added to my coinomi address. With the Private Key WIF it says that the address does not hold any founds.

But if I use the blockchair explorer I can see they are still there:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/1Lt2xnTPuaDRxFpfsQW7gVpqcPtqFjTysg

Don't know what to do here. Like I said this address is from multibit classic, and I also used it on blockchain.info, when I got problems with the fees that were to high. I imported my address to blockchain, and start using it there. Never had any problems with it.

If you want the final confirmation I am right you can try to import your privkey in mycelium. You will end with a different public key than expected, an address with no coins. That is because your privkey is not in the right format (compressed/uncompressed).

Did you try what I said in the post before?

I'm almost sure it should work...

But I already have the private key, and I also have the qr code that ends up being "translated" into the same private key, so I know I got both right.
Nothing goes wrong with coinomi, it takes a while and then it say creating transactions, but it never creates it, and I end up with nothing in my account or my transactions history. Don't know what you mean by compressed/decompresses private key, but the program does not complain about the format, and accepts it. It just doesn't do anything with it. That's why I didn't try it, because I don't really feel safe, exposing my private key to a new program that I don't know.

Do what I said. Bitaddress.org is one of the most trusted sites of the bitcoin ecosystem, for better security download it on github (you can find the link on bitaddres home page) and run it offline, if you are so paranoid you can even run it inside a virtual machine or on Ubuntu started from cd.

Import both private keys in coinomi. It will work.

crap, I was going to use Virtual Machine on windows, to create a virtual machine but it's no longer supported.
Didn't really wanted to use a pen with linux, but I'm running out of options here.

Anyone heard about the other wallets? Like BTX or Bitcoin ABC, bitcoin unlimited or bitcoinclassic?
Are they any good?

Hi there, I was trying to claim my BCH, but I'm having trouble doing it.
I had my coins on multibit classic by the time of the fork. I have my private keys, but I don't have a seed because they that wallet doesn't use it. I also have my qr code.

My first option was using Coinomi. I made a sweep of my wallet using private key, and then trying with the code but no transaction is made. My BCH are still in the same address, and I can't receive them. After that I tried bcc-wallet.btc.com, but it requires the seed, and like I said I only have the private key.

Any of you had problems receiving the coins from multibit classic to Coinomi, or to any other wallet?
Also if I can't use any of those two, which one do you recommend?

Download bitaddress.org, run it offline for better security.
Than click on details and insert your private key. Look for compressed/uncompressed privkey and import both in coinomi. That would work, I'm almost 100% sure, let me know if it didn't.

Multibit Classic and hd are not supportd any more.

Yes, I know. I already changed them, and I'm now using electrum, but I only did after the fork, so I must claim my BCH from those addresses.

hmm I guess no one is using anything else them. Has anyone tried the mobile version of electron-cash?
If I'm going to use electron, I think I prefer that one. Also I'm trying to claim my BCH from a multibit classic wallet. Don't know if there are any issues with them.

if you want an easy way with little hassle and headache then install bitcoin cash wallets (specially electron cash) on another computer.
this another computer doesn't really have to be another physical computer though. you can download something like VirtualBox and have a virtual machine there or even run a full operating system from a DVD (Ubuntu for example)

I think I will try and do that. I really don't understand why Coinomi didn't work for me though.
