Topic: What BCC wallet are safe to import electrum private keys? (Read 1867 times)
I've spend the whole evening trying to make BCC appearing in Electrum Cash, with no result. It looks like I cannot import the addresses which contain the coin.
I believe that the safer is the BitcoinABC node itself. But you would require to download the whole blockchain before making use of the software.
Or I would recommend you to do the following process posted by Electrum team:
Looks more safety than using electron cash wallet but i was confused about number 4 is t electron cash or electrum cashOr I would recommend you to do the following process posted by Electrum team:

Therefore, users who want to run the Electron Cash binaries should do
it on a separate same machine, that does not have their Bitcoin
wallet. We recommend to proceed as follows:
1. Install Electrum Cash on a machine that does not have your
Electrum wallets.
2. Wait until the BCC hard fork has taken place, and a few BCC blocks
have been mined.
3. Move all your Electrum funds to a new Electrum wallet. This will
move only your BTC, and not your BCC, because the BCC blockchain has
replay protection. Wait until the transaction is confirmed.
4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in
Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet,
entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds
at risk.
Following these 4 easy steps you will be able to access your BCC
without compromising your BTC.

Because there are some members here their bitcoin was gone after importing the private keys into electron cash.
Since they didn't transfer their bitcoin do you think they can be still recover it or we should transfer first bitcoin to the other bitcoin wallet just to be safe like the method above and wait to confirm?
You should first transfer your BTC to a new wallet. After that you can safely enter your old seed or private keys in Electron Cash.
