You do not need to access your secret keys (private keys) to get your bcc.
You just need to do a different configuration of electrum in order to connect to a BCC node instead of a BTC node in order to get access to your BCC wallet.
This is no longer the case since BCC implemented two-way replay protection. BTC transactions will not be valid on BCC network... and BCC transactions will not be valid on BTC network. ThomasV is not implementing BCC support in Electrum at this time (
https://electrum.org/bcc.txt)
If you want to transact BCC, you WILL need to export your private keys into a BCC specific wallet (ref:
https://www.bitcoincash.org/ and look at "wallets"). I've seen references to an "Electrum Cash" (possibly renamed to "
Electron Cash") wallet which looks to be a fork of Electrum that is intended to work with Bitcoin Cash...
I was thinking the same too, I never heard electrum supporting BCC
but I read somewhere, there is a fork of electrum called electrumcash for BCC written by someone else
as for transaction in the case as you said (@HCP),
then creating signed raw tx with BTC wallet and pushing it to BCC network wouldn't work? am I right?
I was hoping by pushing raw tx would at least reduce the exposure of my priv key
