Hi,

This is simple:

1- Export 12 word recovery phrase from your current Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A
(which did have some BTC on August 1!)

2- Create a new Blockchain.info Bitcoin (BTC) wallet B

3- Transfer ALL bitcoin from Bitcoin (BTC) wallet A to B
Wait for minimal of 2 confirmations! Your wallet A is now EMPTY.

4- Create Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet at BTC.COM

5- Import the bitcoin cash with 12 word recovery phrase from wallet A (bullet 1)
(no risk for your bitcoin, since your wallet A is now empty and your bitcoin now is in wallet B)

This sounds logical, but from what I have heard from some others, they have had some difficulty when they tried to split their BCH off AFTER they moved the BTC from the original wallet.

No one got back to me on my earlier question Sad...has anyone imported their blockchain.info wallet into a ledger to get their BCH?
