Did you install the Bitcoin Cash client into the same computer where you had the Bitcoin Core installation?

I don't know about Bitcoin Unlimited's default installation path but the installation for Bitcoin ABC is exactly the same path as Bitcoin Core, this means that if you install Bitcoin ABC in the same computer where an existing Bitcoin Core is found, it will overwrite files, damage your blockchain files, and im not sure if it would do something to the wallet or not.

Can you post the exact tx ids on the blockchain.info site to take a better look?

Also in order to access your BCash, you should have moved your Bitcoin coins from Bitcoin Core's wallet.dat into another addresses also from a new Bitcoin Core wallet.dat. You should then proceed to put this empty wallet.dat into a Bitcoin Cash full client such as the ABC or I guess the Unlimited also does the job (I used ABC to access mine).

i sent you the pm with tx id... I installed the bitcoin cash on a new server. I never had bitcoin core installed there. It is saved on the same path as bitcoin. I started the service with the command "bitcoind"

I checked the balance using bitcoin-cli getbalance

I never had any bitcoins on my bitcoin core. It is a new machine where i installed bitcoin unlimited..

How to check if the bitcoin cash address is valid? How to differentiate a bitcoin address and bitcoin cash address?

You said you never had any bitcoin on your bitcoin core. Can you explain where you have been holding your bitcoins then? what software have you been using?

From what you said on the PM, you tried to send BCH from your BCH deposit on poloniex to your BCH software (Bitcoin Unlimited) is this correct?

Why are you not using the GUI? it's better, bitcoind is only for advanced users. Open the GUI and do it all there.

Try sending a small amount to Bitcoin ABC which is what I tried, it will be annoying to sync from scratch tho.. you can also test ElectronCash I guess, never used it.

I was using bitcoin core on a different server. Yes i transferred bch from poloniex to bch wallet of my software (bitcoin unlimited)

I am not using gui, because i want to use RPC API calls for my website to accept bitcoin cash payments.

Let me try to install bitcoin abc

How to differentiate a bitcoin address and bitcoin cash address?

You can't, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash share the same addresses.

I had bitcoin cash at poloniex. I installed bitcoin unlimited on my ubuntu machine. Generated a wallet address using bitcoin-cli getnewaddress command

Got the address. Then i transferred a small money(bitcoin cash) from poloniex to this address to check if its working. The transaction got confirmed, but its not credited in my bitcoincash wallet..

I've never used Bitcoin Unlimited, I have used Electron Cash though. If you have the private key to the receiving address, I'd say try importing it into Electron Cash. Or Coinomi on Android, that works well too in my experience.

It's hard to trouble shoot from here what exactly went wrong, so I'd say start by checking if you actually have the private key.

But i sent bitcoin cash from my wallet at one of the exchange.. The transaction got confirmed in the blockchain. But the bitcoin cash is not received to my wallet..

Can you share the txid, or, if you want that to remain private, look it up on https://blockdozer.com/ ?
I see two possible outcomes:
1. You didn't send Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin Cash address at an exchange.
2. You did send Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin Cash address at an exchange, but the exchange didn't credit it.

If it's 1. the big question now is what did you send. If it's 2., you'll have to contact the exchange.

i sent the tx id to you as a pm

HI,

I installed bitcion cash core on my ubuntu server..

I have followed the installation note from the link below:

https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/download

Installed the bitcoin unlimited core and i generated address too..

But i sent bitcoin cash from my wallet at one of the exchange.. The transaction got confirmed in the blockchain. But the bitcoin cash is not received to my wallet..

To see the bitcoin cash balance on my server i used the following command:
