Yeah want to know an aswer to this question aswell

Before August 1st I've transported my BTC to Jaxx Wallet and still trying to find out how to claim my BCC since the app still doesn't support BCC.

Is there an alternative way to claim my BCC since I do own the private keys?

You can import your private keys in "electron cash" wallet or BTC.com wallet but I will advice you to transfer your bitcoins first in a different wallet just for safety.

So, from what I have read, as long as you own the private keys to your Bitcoins, you can claim your BCH at any point of time.

There is some information here: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/beginners-guide-claiming-your-bitcoin-cash-and-selling-it/

The steps according to me should be:

1. Install a reliable and safe Bitcoin Cash wallet on a different computer. The reason for installing on a different computer is to prevent any conflicts between BCH specific wallet (for example: Bitcoin ABC) and Bitcoin wallet.

2. Take a backup of your wallet using Bitcoin Core wallet.

3. Import the back up into Bitcoin Cash wallet.

4. Now, for added safety, you can move the Bitcoins to a new Bitcoin Core Wallet so that they don't share the same addresses.

Hi All,

On August 1st, the Blockchain splitting occurred. I know that some Bitcoin exchangers automatically credited the accounts of users with equal number of Bitcoin Cash coins (BCH) as they had Bitcoin.

However, I wanted to know that if I have some Bitcoins on my local computer. I have the complete wallet and I own my private keys. In that case, can I do something now to get those BCH as well?

I am using Bitcoin Core version: 0.13.1.0 and the last time I opened my wallet was before the Blockchain splitting occurred.

Thanks.
