Ok, i just wanted to confirm 100% because im a paranoid fuck:
I am a paper wallet user, after the hardfork and bitcoin cash is born:
- wait for bitcoin cash supported wallet to appear
- use my private key to sweep my BITCOIN CASH balance onto the bitcoin cash wallet.
No, for my retarded better safe than sorry question:
Will doing a wallet sweep for my bitcoin cash balance affect my bitcoin balance?
- i know youre NEVER to do partial sweeps of a paper wallet
I think i know the answer to this question but figured i wanted to be 100% sure
Thanks for any help!
Just hold the private keys of your Bitcoin wallet (the paper wallet you have). You need to do nothing about your Bitcoins. They will remain safe in your paper wallet whose private keys you are holding. After 1st August you can claim your BCC through those private keys using BCC wallet. Bitcoin will remain as it is in you paper wallet. There is no need to transfer your Bitcoin anywhere.
You are not sweeping your paper wallet. Just consider your private keys as an email id. In Bitcoin wallet through that email id you will get BTC and then in BCC wallet through your email id you will have BCC. Private keys are used to show that you own BTC on that address and hence can claim you BCC equivalent on another wallet. Bitcoin will stay in your paper wallet.
Okay .. thanks for your information on how to claim BCC.
I will share this information to some of my friends who are currently struggling to claim BCC.
