If I send my bitcoin to blockchain now, will I receive bitoincash? Or it only applies to people who store bitcoin from the first

Where do you have your coins right now? You need to export the private key from that wallet. If you send your BTC to Blockchain.info, the transaction will include only BTC, and not Bitcoin Cash. So you will not be able to claim your BCC later from the Blockchain.info wallet.

Hi, Appreciate you posting this info as it's been quite difficult to find a good simple guide walking you thru this process.

Would this still work if you had BTC on blockchian.info before Aug 1 fork, but after the fork you've already transferred your BTC to other addresses/wallets? Would your equivalent BCC coins as of the time of the fork still be accessible via this method? Or would we need to do anything different?

Appreciate the assist. Thanks in advance!

Hey!

If the bitcoins where transfered before the hardfork than it's not possible, so I do hope for you the first bitcoin cash block was already mined before that time you send it.

It only applies to people who have their Bitcoin before August 1st.

First of all, I didn't write this all, but none less, if it works than that's the only thing that counts! Grin

Exporting Private key from blockchain.info

Quote

1. If you have not already got your Blockchain.info recovery seed/phrase you will need to login to your Blockchain.info account and navigate to the 'Security Center' and then click on the 'Phrase Backup' Option under Level 1 (Note: Once you backup the recovery phrase you will not be able to access it again. Make sure you properly record this info)

~ First off, make a phrase backup (exists of 12 words) --> Video on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8rCsj1D3r4

Quote

2. If you have more than 1 wallet in your blockchain.info account you will need to determine which wallet contains the address you want to recover.

~This is more easy as it sound, you got to your wallet -> addresses --> if you have one address, than it's number 1, if you have your bitcoins on your 5th address on your list than it's number 5. (aka Count down the list of wallets starting with 0 for the first/'My Bitcoin Wallet' )

Quote

3. Once you have your recovery phrase you will need access to the Bip39 generator (https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/) or download the html to do it from your pc (https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39/archive/master.zip)

~ Download the Bip39 generator, to make it sound easier for you to understand, the Bip39 generator will transform your 12 words into eventually your private key.

Quote

4. Enter your Blockchain.info recovery phrase/seed in the webpage next to 'BIP39 Mnemonic'

~ Your 12 words --> BIP39 Mnemonic textbox

Quote

5. Go down to the Bip39 generator page till you see the text "Account" (you can find it under the title of Derivation Path).
Put into the textbox next to the "Account" text your address number (see step 2)

~ address number --> "Account" text box (for example number 5, just fill in: "5")

If everything went well you will see your the textbox of "Account Extended Private Key" been filled with your private key! THIS IS YOUR PRIVATE!
===================================================================================================

Putting your private key into a bitcoin cash wallet!
~ Private key -> Bitcoin cash wallet!

Quote

1. Find an Bitcoin cash wallet that let's you import private key |>electroncash.org will let you import private key, and is also what this tutorial is based on (DO NOT USE electroncash.net !! this is an malicious website that could steal your bitcoin private key!!)

~ Download electroncash wallet

Quote

2. If you never used this wallet than at the first startup of the application it will show you to name your new wallet.

3. They will ask "What kind of wallet do you want to create", choose "Standard wallet"

~ Picture #2 > https://imgur.com/a/Z7pXS

Quote

4. Next option they ask is if you want to create a new wallet or restore on, choose "Use public or private keys"

Quote

5. Paste/insert your private key into the big text box, than click the "Next" button

~ Don't try to use the same private key as in the screenshots, it's an fake private key Cheesy

Finally if everything went alright you will see your bitcoin cash balance!
