Topic: One Offline Wallet to Generate Both BTC and BCC Addresses? (Read 391 times)
Very cool. Thanks for the link.
Yes. You can use the same wallet.dat file in both of the clients. The private keys, public key, addresses are all identical.
Hello all... I'm creating an offline Ubuntu 16.04 machine with just bitcoin-qt installed. My intention is to get a running Bitcoin Core client going on the machine and then remove the network interface and never connect it again to any network. Then I want to generate BTC addresses and private keys on that offline machine just for saving BTC to those addresses.
Question: If on this offline machine I make (for instance) two addresses with their private keys in bitcoin-qt and only use one for funding BTC amounts and the other for funding BCC amounts will there be any problem accessing/spending the BCC at a later time by simply importing the corresponding private BCC key into (for example) a Bitcoin ABC wallet on an online machine. In a nutshell I guess I'm wondering if the addresses/private keys are compatible across the two networks so a private key and its address can be used without issue with BOTH BTC AND BCC regardless if its created in the first place with a BTC Bitcoin Core or a BCC Bitcoin Core.
I probably did not ask that well, but I hope my point is understood.
As a follow-up to this...if the address/key pairs will work fine on either network, am I correct in assuming that I could import the keys into any offline wallet of BTC or BCC in the future to do offline signing of transactions?
thank you!!!!!

I think you are right: btc and bcc have exactly the same protocol when it comes to public and private key, every btc address should work for bcc and vice-versa
Try first with a low amount, but it should work smoothly
