The problem is, when i go to "Blockchain wallet - settings - addresses" i see no address there, the following message show up
"Imported addresses Not supported by your recovery phrase. Transfer to a portfolio to secure funds."

It looks like you imported an address to your blockchain wallet. Settings - addresses - imported addresses - scroll down - there have to be an address or addresses. Click more options, if you imported an address using private keys properly then you will see private key and transfer option. Only after writing down the private keys transfer your funds to blockchain wallet.

If an address is watch only then you imported an address without private keys.

Quote
Imported addresses are not backed up by the wallet recovery phrase. We strongly recommend you to transfer funds from imported addresses into this wallet by going to Settings -> Addresses -> Imported Addresses -> Transfer All.

Sorry it's working now
I can see my Bitcoin Cash on Coinami now after going advanced  Grin thank you

What should i do now ? Can i send all my blockchain.info credit to coinami to claim the rest ?

Since you already had bitcoins on Coinomi you converted it using the advanced derivation path. Do you want to move the bitcoins in blockchain to Coinomi or would like your BTC to remain in blockchain?

Either way you have to get the private keys. Blockchain wallet - settings - addresses - select the address with funds - more options - private key - warning - continue - copy the text below private keys, it is the private key (it's already in WIF format, you don't have to do anything) - write it down.



If Blockchain to Coinomi:

1. If you are okay with moving your BTC to Coinomi then select your bitcoin wallet in Coinomi, sweep wallet, enter the above private key and bitcoins would be transferred from Blockchain to Coinomi (0.0004 fee)

2. Then select BCH wallet, sweep wallet and enter the above private key, you will get BCH equivalent of BTC you had in blockchain wallet.

If you don't want to want move BTC from Blockchain.

3. After writing down the above mentioned private key. In blockchain you will find add option below default wallet. Create a new wallet and move your funds to it.

4. Follow step 2, BCH wallet in Coinomi.

Since you already had bitcoins in your Coinomi wallet, I guess moving your funds from Blockchain to Coinomi would be much more easier for you. Writing down the private keys of an address/s in your blockchain wallet is the most important thing.

This is the simplest way I can explain this, don't know how to get simpler than this Grin Rather than opening multiple threads for the same reason, try to understand what anyone is trying to explain, it's not rocket science, beginner's guide.

Hello everyone
I've seen many threated about this topic and i want to make it clear for myself and for anyone of you

I contacted the support of Blockchain.info and they told me that i still own the Bitcoin Cash of my Bitcoins and once i use the Key Word on a wallet that support BCC i will be able to see them

I'm not very experienced in Bitcoin but i know that not any wallet will accept the key word of Blockchain.info

So i don't know if someone has tried it already, but if anyone has tried it and if anyone can see his Bitcoin Cash that was stored on Blockchain.info then please let us know here and let us know how you did that

Thank you

1. Go to your blockchain wallet. If you have multiple addresses with funds then note down the private keys (WIF format) of each address.

2. With addresses having funds there is a transfer option to the default wallet. Create a new wallet and transfer all your funds to this new wallet.

3. Install Coinomi wallet (Android), https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinomi.wallet

4. Backup the phrase and use a strong password, from the menu select +coins, Bitcoin Cash, below enter your password you will see advanced settings, add this derivation path M/44H/0H/0H. Your BCH wallet is created.

5. From the right menu select sweep wallet, enter the private keys you saved in step 1, you will have BCH in your Coinomi wallet. Repeat the process if you have multiple private keys.

Coinomi seems legit and safe, but use it at your own risk.

It's still not clear for me, can you please use more simpler words ? i don't understand what the private keys (WIF format) means
Also, i alredy had 1.5 Bitcoin on Coinami but after addding the Bitcoin Cash currency i don't see any credit

The method that i have used previously to export my private key was to get the 12 word backup phrase and import it into either electrum/copay. Both of these work, i'm pretty sure because they all use the same BIP encoding scheme.

After you import your wallet then you should be able to see all the private keys and export any ones that have a balance in them. Then obviously you can claim them pretty easily by importing into any bitcoin cash software(electron cash and whatnot).

The process used to be easier, but since they removed the export functionality i'm pretty sure, it's got to be like this... I don't know why they don't want to simplify the process of claiming BCH for their users tbh.
