Flat e do you know any bch wallet for iphone wich can import a private key from a paperwallet?
No, don't know a thing about ios, seems breadwallet is working on a bch wallet for ios. Coinomi, for android, does a good job sweeping paper wallets.
Can you use Coinomi for inputting 12 word seed from blockchain.info backup of wallet?
I tried it with a mycelium seed only, and it did not recognize the format if I recall right. Electroncash however loaded all addresses with the bch in seconds, but that's a windows program.
I don't have access to android to verify this; however, from the article, it appears that I am currently not going to be able to claim any BCH through this procedure because I moved my Bitcoins after August 1 into other addresses. The article says that the BCH are no longer going to be available through the blockchain.info seed if the Bitcoins are moved after August 1.
In other articles, I was informed that I should move my Bitcoins first before claiming the BCH through various BCH wallets - maybe those were other kinds of wallets? So does that mean that when I moved my BTC (after August 1), then my BCH are completely gone from my blockchain.info addresses (wallet), or could there be another way to claim them?
Wallets that had BTC before the split, august 1 12.00UST, still have the BCH. Wallets that got BTC sent to them after the split, only got BTC, the BCH never moved from the pre-split wallets.
Moving BTC out of wallets that have BTC and BCH is a safety measure you need to take before using programs that can read/import priv.keys and claim and move your BCH from those pre-split wallets.
Electroncash worked perfect for me, the only wallet that found my "missing" address that the stand-alone priv. key retriever never produced, even if I loaded 1000 addresses. So move your BTC elsewhere and:
In electroncash: file-new/restore, pick a name-next, standard wallet-next, "I already have a seed"-next, enter seed words- under option check bip39, next etc.
http://www.electroncash.org/Thank you Flat e - but I had already done that exact method that you describe above through Electron cash. I followed the instructions exactly, and it shows absolutely no BCH addresses in the program (even though there should have been 57 addresses at the time of the August 1 fork.
33 of my blockchain.info addresses had bitcoins on August 1, at the time of the fork. When I do the same procedure with electrum, the electrum wallet shows 1 bitcoin address of the 57 addresses, and it does not show any other address. That one address has no balance with the latest transaction of a withdraw of the whole address in November 2016, so that particular address would not have had bitcoins (or BCH) at the time of the August 1 fork. Anyhow, I was thinking that the electron cash wallet might have a similar address recognition problem as electrum in that electron cash is not recognizing all of my 57 of my addresses, even if the balances happened to have been zero in terms of BTC (but they should have had BCH, and even if there were a claim that the BCH had moved after August 1, then they should have shown that too, no?
Regarding mycelium, I only recently tried mycelium just to verify if it showed my btc balances, and downloaded mycelium to my iphone, and I did reseed the mycelium wallet on my Iphone with the 12 word seed from blockchain.info and mycelium did show all 57 of my blockchain.info addresses (and transactions - currently all of the BTC addresses with zero BTC balances)
Edit: By the way, Flat e, I am wondering if you moved your Bitcoins from your Mycelium wallet before you seeded the 12 words into the Electron Cash wallet? Also, I am running Electron Cash on a Mac, and I am not sure if there would be any difference in the outcome from a windows machine?
