Get Bitcoin Cash out of Electrum in 60 Seconds

The bitcoin blockchain officially forked on August 1, 2017. If you owned Legacy Bitcoin at that time, you picked up some Bitcoin Cash tokens as well! Here's a quick and easy tutorial on how to get access to your Bitcoin Cash.

Use this walkthrough to access your Bitcoin Cash that is associated with an Electrum wallet on Windows, Mac, or Linux. From here, you can send it to an exchange for trading, or transfer it to another address, at your convenience.

This is how every youtube tutorial should be. Didn't even need to 2x it.

I have a question... I want to move all my BTC from the electrum first, then enter the electrum seed in the electroncash wallet to recover BCH. Is that possible? Or do I need to leave my BTC in the electrum wallet while I try to recover BCH? Thanks

[csismylife]

Just to be safe, move your bitcoins from the wallet that you are going to add to electron first.

Tks for the video. I believe that it does affect your bitcoin. Yoou have to first send whatever btc you have in your electrum wallet to a new wallet (with a different seed), leaving the original btc wallet EMPTY. Then and only then can you do what you explain. Otherwise you would be exposing the seed of a btc wallet to Electron Cash which is totally unsafe if that btc wallet still contains btc.

is it possible to send BTC to another wallet say exodus, from the electrum wallet, then follow the rest of the instructions? so rather than creating a new electrum wallet just use an existing exodus wallet and sending the seed (from electrum original) to electron.

Thank you. My btc's are on the blockchain. So that would be different?

This works for bch, but you may lose bsv. As it will send to both wallets? You may need to split wallet? I think I lost my bsv. You need to get public key from where you send to. but I am lost. Watch out for faucet needed to split.

Stupid question, what if I have my BTC on coinbase? (I know it's dumb to keep crypto on an exchange but I have a Trezor on back-order)

If I setup an *Electrum* wallet and then use that seed on an *Electron* wallet, would I be able to still get BCH? I wouldn't have any BTC in the *Electrum* wallet.

Also, how do I claim Super Bitcoin as well? That was my original intention.

Tx for vid man, my Q is could I wait let say 6 months then redeem my bch? Is this process time sensitive?

Electrum does not endorse this wallet. To be safe ONLY use Electron Cash on a separate machine that does not have or has ever had your electrum wallet on it.

1. Install Electron 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.

oh my god thank you. every other video makes this so so complicated.
the world needs more things like this :')

[caitlinkeller]

Will you do one for Exodus wallet? I have my private keys I just dont know what to do now.

[SalvaD]

Hi there can i do this with one pc ?? . i mean get all my btc on a electrum wallet, then get all btc out to a paper wallet. delete electrum and install electrum cash, then get my bcc from the old seed ? thanks

[jorgecontreras]

If I have multiple wallets is possible for me to make a new electrum wallet then send all my btc to this newly generated wallet, and use that seed for the bitcoin cash wallet? Thank you in advance for the response

[lanzate]

So export Exodus seed into Electron-cash running into a diferent computer and is that all?

[hussaindahir]

I had my funds in electrum wallet before the fork, but today i have moved them back to blockchain. i have the private keys tho. will i still be able to claim bitcoin cash by using my private keys even tho i have transfered my bitcoin back today from electrum to blockchain?
Looking forward for you reply
Cheers

[paulwood]

It worked! Thanks. I used my mycelium seed, is this wallet still safe now? For other MYcelium ppl - I had to check a box that had BIP xx (cantremember the number!?) For it to work, and When trying to send I had to go to preferences and uncheck 'dynamic fee' option.
Do you have a Dash donation add?

If I had my BTC in multibit HD prior to the fork, and I exported my wallet to Electrum after the fork, will the BCH still be tied to the multibit HD wallet? Only just realized how difficult it is to get private keys for my multibit HD wallet

[shaunrosenberg]

How long do we have to access it? The warning from electrum seems scary. Any other wallets that we can use?

[jimhardman]

Sorry, this video confused me. It said it would explain it in 60 seconds and did so brilliantly.

Where was the bit where the guy mumbles to himself about the camera mounting, and then goes into a 5 minute description of the issue with the camera mounting? And then taking a mobile phone call from a bloke called Jeff, before his mum comes in asking what he wants for tea?

I've not tried this yet, so will come back and complain if it doesn't work, but in terms of concise informative video production this is the best I've seen. Great work!
