Hello! Are there any options to use Bitcrystals (
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcrystals/) which I received to my Electrum wallet? I have recently won in their competition and got some BTC and BCY as a reward. There is no problem with using BTC, but I can't get access to Bitcrystals balance. Their support recommended me to log into my wallet on Counterwallet (
https://wallet.counterwallet.io/) in order to use BCY, but my secret passphrase cannot be accepted on their website ("Open Wallet" button isn't active after inserting the phrase). I thought that something wrong with my wallet, but I see the transactions in Bitcrtystals Explorer (xchain.io/), so it seems like I recieved BCY successfully. Could you give me any advise how I can get access to my BCY balance?
Your problem is not related with Electrum since there is no such wallet for BCY, which means you could not even receive it in this wallet. To receive BCY you should create wallet in any service which support this coin and then send BCY to this wallet/address. That means that you first need to create wallet at counterwallet.io and by click "Create New Wallet" you will get your 12 word passphrase.
So do not play with your Electrum seed or private keys, it is not worth to lose
BTC for some coin which is worth 0.10$.
1. Go to Electrum and send all your BTC or relevant fork coins to another wallet. Leave only your BCY in that wallet;
2. Click on View -> Show Addresses;
3. Go to the Addresses tab, right-click your address with BCY and select "Private key";
4. Save that private key.
- Now go to
https://wallet.counterwallet.io/5. Create a Counterwallet account;
6. Log in and click on "Import Funds" -> "From another wallet";
7. Paste the private key from step 4 in the first field.
Follow the steps and this should sweep your BCY to your recently created Counterwallet account.
Is BCY fork of BTC ?
