Hello everyone. I have a problem claiming my Bitcoin cash from the private keys.

I had a BTC balance on Electrum wallet before and after the swap. Moved my BTC after the swap to a diff address for security reasons. Now cannot use my private keys, every wallet (Electron cash, coinomi, Bitcoin ABC ) says that there is no funds on those keys, but the block explorer confirms that my Bitcoin Cash is there: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/address/36XmauGXBMEMjMNbRXxmCWy1X8g9SLEwFC. What am I doing wrong? Anyone has an idea?
Thanks.

Same problem.

Electron cash 2.9.2: when making a wallet "read only" (with private public keys) => correctly shows the balance bitcoin cash.

When making normal wallet, with private keys (with transaction rights) it shows a zero balance.  Huh

Hi George5 and Martisor-Sobru.
If you have used your priv key through electron cash wallet, you probably get scammed.
you can't move your coins but they have a backup of the priv key... so their wallet is really unsecure to use, both for spend/save bcc.
It's a good sign you can see your coins, maybe they can't spend or they forget it.
