Electrum bitcoin cash

If I had my BTC in a multibit HD wallet 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?

And if so, how can I access the BCH stored in the multibit HD wallet?

Here is what you need to do. Make sure you have the seed from multibit.

Download http://www.electroncash.org/
You create a new wallet, select I already have seed, when you type seed you need to click the "options" button and select BIP39 seed.
It will ask for a derivation path. you need to use: m/0' (note the ' it is important. m/0') 4.Suggest you do research as there are some issues with it not connecting to BCC chain sometimes.

If you have exported your Multibit HD wallet into Electrum, then your Electrum wallet is sharing the Private Keys with your Multibit wallet. In a less technical language: You have one account (your wallet) and 2 interfaces to access your funds (Multibit and Electrum).

The BCH are tied to your account not the interface. So forget about Multibit and redeem your bitcoin cash with the help of Electrum. Follow the official Electrum Recommendation on how to redeem Bitcoin Cash. Short version below:

Secure your bitcoin funds by withdrawing them to another bitcoin wallet.
Export your seed or private key from Electrum.
Install Electron Cash.
Import your MB seed into Electron Cash.
Enjoy your coins.

If you do not have your seed, extracting your bitcoin cash without your wallet words works, but requires knowing how to edit and compile java code: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/51297/64842

Because installing maven, java, modifying and compiling the JAR, and using the private keys is a bit beyond most non-developers, I've created a comprehensive guide, along with a pre-built JAR file to walk you through it:

How to Claim Your Bitcoin Cash and Sell it for Bitcoin (TREZOR, Ledger, Electrum)

Last updated on January 2nd, 2018 at 12:00 am

Warning: this guide reveals the exact method the author used to claim free Bitcoin CasH and exchange it for Bitcoin on the 2nd of August. While every reasonable effort has been made to ensure complete and accurate information, the author can’t guarantee a successful outcome for those following this method.

Waiting for better documented methods and more familiar exchanges to offer BCH deposits is the safer play in this situation. However, as more people figure out how to sell their coins, profitability may well decrease.

Bitcoin Cash – The Beginning

Bitcoin Cash (aka Bcash, BCH or BCC) forked off from Bitcoin on the 1st of August and its launch has proven rather rocky. Three days later, only 2 exchanges are supporting Bcash deposits – and its price has crashed on both.

It still takes relatively a lot of time to get Bcash transactions into the blockchain and that’s due to the high difficulty of mining. Bcash forked with the same mining difficulty as Bitcoin but only a small fraction (around 5%) of its hashrate. Bcash’s first (or genesis block) took around 7 hours to be found.

The difficulty adjustment process was meant to compensate for this, reducing difficulty to a level more appropriate for Bcash’s low hashrate within a few blocks. However, miners from “ Genesis Block, ” an aptly named, high-tech hostel in Hong Kong, apparently began mining Bcash for fun and marketing purposes.

The hostel’s additional, unexpected hashpower greatly delayed Bcash’s difficulty adjustment process. As a result, Bcash blocks remain slow, although difficulty has since adjusted to about ¼ of Bitcoin’s. You can use this Bitcoin Cash block explorer to see the status of the current blocks (take a look at the bottom).

Free Bitcoin Cash for Bitcoiners

If you held any bitcoin in a personal wallet (or on certain exchange wallets listed here) then congrats, you own an equal amount of Bcash too!

If you wish to sell your Bcash, there are 2 things you need to do, in the following order:

1) Split you Bitcoin into Bitcoin Cash

If your BTC was held on one of the exchanges listed, the exchange will have taken care of this process for you. When you log in, you should see a BCH (or possibly, “BCC”) balance in a new exchange wallet, in addition to your regular BTC wallet. The amounts in both wallets should match, assuming you haven’t made any recent trades or transactions.

If your bitcoins were held in a personal wallet, you’ll have to split them yourself. We cover splitting for Ledger, TREZOR and for the Electrum software wallet. Note that the general procedure used for Electrum is applicable to other software wallets, although the precise steps will vary.

2) Sell your Bitcoin Cash on an exchange

For those whose bitcoins were held on an exchange which split BCH from BTC and offers a market in BCH trading, you’re already done – sell your BCH whenever you feel like it.

Everyone else will have to decide between the three exchanges currently accepting BCH deposits; HitBTC, ViaBTC and Bittrex. I used HitBTC for two good reasons:

HitBTC requires only 2 confirmations before deposited BCH are credited to your account and made available for trading purposes. As Bcash blocks are still very slow (up to 8 hours delay), this could be a real time saver. By contrast, it appears other exchanges requires 20 confirmations before approving any withdrawals.
HitBTC offers a quick and easy registration, which requires only an email address to complete.

Keep in mind that because HitBTC is one of the only exchanges allowing to actually deposit BCH many people are selling it on the platform which causes the exchange rate to be lower than on other platforms.

Before going any further make sure you have a backup of your wallet at hand. Using any of these methods without a back could result in total loss of your coins. DO NOT CONTINUE WITHOUT A BACKUP!

Splitting your Bitcoins in a Ledger Nano S

Splitting with ledger is a fairly simple process but not an intuitive one, make sure to follow these exact steps:

Step 1 – Back up your Ledger wallet

Throughout the process you will need to update your firmware, this will wipe all of the data from your device. Make sure to have a back up before moving forward or you will lose all of your coins.

Step 2 – Update your Ledger Firmware

Download the Ledger Manager for chrome, go to “Firmwares” on the left hand side and click on “Install”. You will then be prompted to confirm this action on your device. Once the update is complete you will need to import your wallet from your seed phrase. The complete steps to this process can be found here.

Once you have a firmware version that is 1.3.1 and above, you can move on to step 3.

Step 3 – Download the Bitcoin Cash App

Inside the Ledger Manager, go to “application” and download the Bitcoin Cash app (2nd from the top).

Step 4 – Create a separate Bitcoin Cash wallet on your Ledger

If you had Bitcoins before the fork, Ledger now splits those Bitcoins into BTC and BCH but keeps them on the same wallet. It’s recommended to use a separate (aka split) wallet to manage your BCH. This step isn’t mandatory but is advised. If you wish to skip this step move straight to step 6.

Connect your ledger and select “Bitcoin Cash” from the available options on the device. The following screen will open:

Select “Bitcoin Cash”. The following screen will ask if you want to access the main wallet (BTC and BCH combined) or the split wallet (Only BCH). Select “split”.

Go to “receive” and generate a BCH address. You will later send your Main wallet’s BCH to this address. Once you have your BCH address move to step 5.

Step 5 – Send your BCH from your main wallet to your split wallet

Go to “settings” – “Blockchains” and this time choose “Bitcoin Cash” and “Main”.

This wallet holds your newly formed BCH along with your BTC. It’s now time to send them to your split wallet.

Go to “send” and send your BCH to your split wallet address which you’ve retrieved on step 4.

Step 6 – Send your BCH to an exchange

You can now go to “Settings” – “Blockchains” and log back into your split wallet. You will need to wait for a new BCH block to be mined until you can see that your transaction is confirmed. Once it’s confirmed you can send your BCH into an exchange or hold on to them.

Splitting your Bitcoins in TREZOR

Due to only having a week to prepare for the launch of the final version of Bcash code, Trezor’s wallet does not currently support BCH (although they’re working on a fix). It is however possible to use an online tool by TREZOR in order to split your BCH and simultaneously send it to a BCH address.

Thoroughly review Trezor’s guide to this process and check their Twitter and subreddit for any updates. Sometimes the tool is offline and recently some bugs were found in it.

Step 1 – Visit the beta version of Trezor wallet. You should use Google Chrome to access the wallet; the author was unable to complete the process using Firefox or a clean install thereof.

Make sure that you’re on the beta site: https://beta-wallet.trezor.io

The reason for visiting the beta Trezor wallet is that it enables you to update your Trezor’s firmware to the latest, beta version (1.5.1). Particularly if you haven’t performed this process before, you should study Trezor’s guide to firmware updates.

Step 2 – Be certain you have a backup of your seed phrase and update your firmware. This is done as follows:

disconnect the device
plug it in while holding both device buttons pressed

Step 3 – Go to the Coin Splitting Tool. Click on “Connect with TREZOR”. Reconnect your device and enter the PIN as usual.

Step 4 – Select the account you want to split BCH from and enter an address to send the BCH to. It is possible to enter the exchange funding address directly in this stage (see below how to get a deposit address for HitBTC).

Splitting your Bitcoins in Electrum

If you have an Electrum Bitcoin wallet, we suggest you follow this excellent guide put together by the Electrum developers. In case that any of this doesn’t make complete sense to you, please don’t use this method it’s pretty risky.

Here’s a TL;DR version of it:

Step 1 – Write down all of your Bitcoin addresses that had Bitcoins in them during the fork.

Step 2 – Go to Wallet – Private Keys – Export and write down only the keys that are related to the addresses you’ve found in step 1.

Step 3 – Move all of your Bitcoins to a new Electrum wallet (create a new wallet through file – new/restore). You’re doing this so that if any of the private keys you exported are compromised in some way, your Bitcoins will be in a new address with a different private key.

Step 4 – ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTER install the Electron Cash wallet. Here’s the reason why it needs to be on a different machine:

Step 5 – Import your private keys into Electron Cash. Once done you can use your new coins via that wallet.

Splitting your coins in Exodus

The following process was supplied by one of our users and not tested by us. Use it with caution. In any case of uncertainly please contact Exodus support (they are VERY helpful and fast to respond):

Step 1 – download the latest version of the Exodus desktop wallet from the Exodus website.
Step 2 – Create your account on Hitbtc as already stated in the article and get your BCC address.
Step 3– Install the Exodus wallet and click on “Help” menu on the left panel. Scroll down to the menu items on the right and click on the menu called “How do I claim my bitcoin cash (BCH)”.
Step 4 – Keep your BCC address (that you got from Hitbtc) handy and follow the instructions. It will calculate the amount of BTC that was in the Exodus wallet before 1st August 2017 and ask you the BCC address where you want to transfer the BCC.
Step 5 – Enter the BCC address and transfer. It might take 2-4hrs for the transfer to take place.

To convert the BCC to BTC and transfer it back to your Exodus wallet and continue following this article.

Splitting in Blockchain.info and Other Software Wallets

Update: around October 2017 Blockchain.info will add Bitcoin Cash support and you will automatically be able to see your Bitcoin Cash balance. More info can be found here.

On old Blockchain.info wallets Login and then go to Settings > Addresses on the left.

Then find your address that has your BTC balance (which held BTC at the time of the 8/1 fork) and click on More Options, then Private Keys. After that just follow the same sequence as in the Electrum guide.

In the new version of Blockchain.info you should go to security – wallet recovery phrase and write down your 12 word seed. After that just follow the same sequence as in the Electrum guide.

Here’s a great video about Getting you BCH from software wallets:

The order of sequence laid out in the Electrum guide will be safe for any software wallet, as far as we know. The major point to keep in mind is that you must generate a new wallet (not just a new address), send your bitcoins to the new wallet, and only then is it safe to export the private key of your old wallet into your Bcash wallet. If you’re unsure how to accomplish any of these steps, it’s best to wait for a detailed guide for your specific wallet.

Selling your coins on HitBTC

HitBTC is a European exchange (apparently headquartered in Hong Kong) which has been operational since 2013. They don’t seem to have experienced any major hacks or other negative events in that time, which is good going by crypto exchange standards.

Here are the steps for exchange BCH on HitBTC

Step 1 – sign up for an account

Step 2 – Sign in and navigate to your Bcash wallet by selecting the “Account”.

scroll down to “BCC” in the list of coins and click the “Fund” button (circle with +). Your BCC deposit address will now be generated and displayed. Note that BCC addresses look just like Bitcoin address, so be very careful that you don’t confuse the two!

Step 3 – Send the BCC from your wallet into your HitBTC BCC account.

Step 4 – Wait for at least 2 blocks to be mined on the Bcash network.

Step 5 – Move your coins into your trading account. Click the rightwards facing arrow icon, then on the expanded bar, input or verify the amount to transfer. Finally, click transfer.

Step 6 – Select the “Exchange” tab at the top left and select the currency you wish to sell your BCH for. Make the exchange. The simplest way to sell is via a market order. This will sell as many BCH as you specify at the best available price(s).

There are other types of orders which may allow you to get a better price for your BCH. Check out Limit orders too, which allow you to place a sell order for your chosen amount of BCH into the order book at a specific price. This allows you to wait for the market to meet your price, although be aware that if your price is too high the coins may never sell. In this case, you will have to cancel your active order and place a new one at a lower price level.

Step 8 – Withdraw your bitcoins, or other currency. Return to the “Account” tab, then transfer your BTC (or whichever currency you sold for) from your trading to your deposit / withdrawal account.

The withdraw dialog will then require your Bitcoin address. Ensure that you paste a Bitcoin address from a Bitcoin wallet under your control, not the Bcash address you used to deposit funds initially!

Congratulations, you’ve just increased your bitcoin holdings with almost no work! HitBTC sends out withdrawals almost immediately so you should soon be able to see your unconfirmed transaction in any block explorer.

Should I Sell or Hold?

Of course, you’re not forced to sell your BCH. You may wish to hold it, perhaps because you believe in the coin’s long term prospects or think patience will be rewarded with a better price.

Bcash is currently trading above $300 on most exchanges, which in this author’s opinion is high for an altcoin with no established economy, unknown developers, vulnerably low hashrate and no real technical innovations.

Rhetoric aside, Bcash offers no tangible advantages over Bitcoin. The codebase has been gutted of major Bitcoin protocol upgrades, such as SegWit and Replace By Fee.

Bcash addresses scaling by the relatively crude means of multiplying its maximum block size from 1 to 8 megabytes. This has the consequence of increasing operational demands across all nodes; likely increasing miner centralisation.

A Tip for Selling – Blocks and Drops

Each new block transmits coins onto exchanges, releasing pent-up selling pressure. Given the limited liquidity of these exchanges, the result is a steep drop as many coins are sold simultaneously. This pattern may be clearly seen in the following chart:

BCH/BTC 1 minute chart with recent blocks demarcated.
Notice that price drops coincide with volume spikes.

Waiting for a block can be a tedious process. Currently, the best way to monitor Bcash blocks in real-time is via this block explorer. Bcash blocks currently take around 2 hours to find (but may take much longer).

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.
No matter what I search for or website thru the Yahoo Search App it says the following after I searched for
www.att.com.

I tried to search for things like www.homedepot.com. The same thing happened. It would say WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE. The only thing that changed were all the upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
Then it would again say
could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

This is the same thing that happened when Samsung and At&t tried to do any kind of searches thru the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo needs to fix the problem with their app.

Bitcoin Cash Wallet Support Is Coming to Trezor and (Unofficially) Electrum

The Bitcoin Cash debacle continues to spawn plenty of discussion among community members. Even though some people doubt the hard fork will occur, certain companies and service providers are preparing for the worst. But which wallets will support Bitcoin Cash? That list still seems limited. The binaries for Bitcoin ABC seemingly provide wallet services, but some external support would be nice to have as well.

Bitcoin Cash Wallets Are Difficult to Come By

For most people, the only Bitcoin Cash wallet they will need is the address provided by one of the exchanges supporting this alternative version of Bitcoin. While there is some merit to that, relying on exchange wallets also means the user is never in full control of his or her funds. For those people who want to actively support Bitcoin Cash and not be reliant on an exchange to keep their funds secure, alternative wallet solutions are in high demand.

The obvious solution would be using the updated Bitcoin ABC binaries, which were released a few hours ago. The updated client offers strong replay protection, which was one of the aspects in which some exchanges felt Bitcoin Cash was lacking. Additionally, other changes were introduced including updated ABC logos. It seems most of the binaries were based on the Bitcoin Unlimited client, which is not entirely surprising. We can only hope this software does not cause any issues and force nodes offline.

Additional wallet service providers for Bitcoin Cash are hard to find these days. However, the project has gained significant support from Trezor, as the hardware wallet manufacturer is looking to make itself compatible with BCC (or whatever the final name of this token turns out to be). Having a hardware wallet manufacturer on board is significant, since hardware wallets are still the most secure solution when it comes to keeping cryptocurrency safe.

There will be an Electrum wallet solution for Bitcoin Cash as well. Contrary to what some people believe, however, this project was not endorsed by the Electrum team in an official capacity. Instead, someone took its source code from GitHub and ported it to support Bitcoin Cash. A third-party fork of an existing wallet solution like this one always requires some scrutiny, since its legitimacy is as yet unknown. It is still good to see someone attempting to create a solution, and the community no doubt will appreciate the effort.

Clarification: A hard fork that modifies Bitcoin's difficulty rules, such as BCC, is not supported by Electrum. Tx will show as unverified.

As it currently stands, there will most likely be three different wallet solutions supporting Bitcoin Cash in the near future: a desktop client, a version of Electrum, and a hardware wallet. That is not a bad place to start. The only thing missing now is a mobile wallet, although there are rumors Jaxx may look to integrate support for Bitcoin Cash given sufficient community demand. A lot of people will just be leaving their tokens in an exchange wallet during the first few weeks of next month.

One lingering question is which abbreviation Bitcoin Cash will utilize on the exchanges. Considering that BCC has already been taken by a lesser-known altcoin — though still a top 15 cryptocurrency — something will need to change. A lot of Bitcoin Cash supporters feel that BCC is the correct abbreviation and “people should just make sure they buy the right currency.” That kind of attitude will not get the project very far.

everything is unofficial of this BCC! disturbance to market movement some greedy folks out there.

bcc is a scam nothing more nothing less

However it is still trading at about $400 on ViaBTC right now. The higher it’s price before August 1st, the more valuable BTC becomes as well, because you’ll get 1 FREE BCC (BCH) token for each BTC you own.

If you leave your BTC at an exchange that will not support BCH such as coinbase, and export them to a hard wallet in the future, will you still be able to split the bitcoin cash off or is it too late then?

It will be too late. If you do not hold your private keys at the moment of the split you do not get any Bitcoin Cash.

What is wrong with people? “A lot of Bitcoin Cash supporters feel that BCC is the correct abbreviation” re: BCC. Uhhh… no. You can’t just take the Symbol of an existing coin and attempt to hi-jack it. BCC is Bitconnect Coin.

KRAKEN and BITFINEX are using the symbol “BCH” and the description “Bcash” in order to prevent any confusion between Bitcoin and this shitcoin.

Well I don’t own any BCC, but to hail BitcoinCash anything more than a ‘shitcoin’ itself, is a feat indeed. Create a coin on the back of the awesomeness of bitcoin. Then trade it on futures market and immediately come out the door and reached $900 based upon air and bubbles. Then fall to the $400’s . And suddenly we have 105 people in the rah rah group believing it is the next best thing since Northern Beans. Right now today, it is really a ‘shitcoin’ until proven otherwise.
