Ok, i just wanted to confirm 100% because im a paranoid fuck:

I am a paper wallet user, after the hardfork and bitcoin cash is born:

- wait for bitcoin cash supported wallet to appear
- use my private key to sweep my BITCOIN CASH balance onto the bitcoin cash wallet.

No, for my retarded better safe than sorry question:

Will doing a wallet sweep for my bitcoin cash balance affect my bitcoin balance?

- i know youre NEVER to do partial sweeps of a paper wallet
I think i know the answer to this question but figured i wanted to be 100% sure

Thanks for any help!

Just hold the private keys of your Bitcoin wallet (the paper wallet you have). You need to do nothing about your Bitcoins. They will remain safe in your paper wallet whose private keys you are holding. After 1st August you can claim your BCC through those private keys using BCC wallet. Bitcoin will remain as it is in you paper wallet. There is no need to transfer your Bitcoin anywhere.

You are not sweeping your paper wallet. Just consider your private keys as an email id. In Bitcoin wallet through that email id you will get BTC and then in BCC wallet through your email id you will have BCC. Private keys are used to show that you own BTC on that address and hence can claim you BCC equivalent on another wallet. Bitcoin will stay in your paper wallet.

Okay .. thanks for your information on how to claim BCC.
I will share this information to some of my friends who are currently struggling to claim BCC.

Okay just confirmed it, I will hold on to this rule:

Control private Key BEFORE the fork (I use paper wallet). Move Bitcoins to a new Wallet address AFTER (again paper in my case) the fork (also control private key).

Then use the private key from BEFORE the fork to import in BCC wallet.

Yes that would work, just make sure you look into replay attack protection as well. I would suggest you move both btc and bcc to new paper wallets after the fork rather than just the one.

Why do you need to move the Bitcoins to a new Wallet Address?

Thank you. I have everything on paper already.
My question was if I move my Bitcoin away after the snapshot I can safely import the private key in Bitcoin Cash wallet since I don't want to trust this wallet with a private key where my Bitcoin are still stored.

Thank you!

I could move my Bitcoins to a new address before I import them since the new chain for Bitcoin Cash would no see that and accept the old now empty wallet? I understand the this transfer might not happen if Bitcoin has problems with the chain but I can't lose anything right?

The only thing you should have is private key of your bitcoin address where you have to store all of your bitcoins before 31st july.

During hardfork bitcoincash will take blockchain snapshot and it will credit similar about of BCC to all bitcoin holding addresses at the time of that snapshot.

So when you will import that private key in BCC compatible wallet like jaxx in future you will see same amount of BCC which you can move afterwards.

Just put your bitcoin in paper wallet and relax.

Your question isn't really clear. What I understood is you want to know about the safety of your Bitcoin. Then let me tell you no matter what wallet or exchange (trusted ones) you chose for storing your Bitcoin, your BTC will remain safe. That all fuss about private keys is for claiming BCC on 1st August. The amount of BCC you will receive will be equal to the Bitcoin you are holding on that key. Just avoid transactions on 1st August. There wouldn't be any problem in transferring Bitcoin before 1st August. What all transfers you want to do, do it in these 2 days.

Hi,

stored everything on paper wallets to have the private key.
How can I claim Bitcoin Cash from that?

I think I'll have to use a Bitcoin Cash wallet, import my private key there and transfer everything to a Bitcoin Cash address?

I would not like to entrust a software i don't know with my private key. Or maybe there will be online services who will do the split but same thing how to know if i can trust this?

Also I'd like to know if I need a special Bitcoin Cash Address or will my Bitcoin address simply be my Bitcoin Cash address if I move everything away after 1.8? Would be the easiest way in my opinion since my Bitcoins are in safety and I could import this private key then in a Bitcoin Cash wallet or sell them?.

Also you should do no transactions after 1.8 for a couple of days but it should be perfectly safe if I hold all the private keys so I dot't care where the coins end up.
