@HostFat Thanks for this awesome guide. It really helps.
@Flat.E - thanks for your support in this thread, I've been reading it all.
I just need a few confirmations on what *I think* I must do in order to claim the BCH.
So, I have btc in a electrum android wallet. Some of them are still there, some were spent. I understand that only the ones BEFORE aug 1 split are eligible for BCH.
1. I think best solution is to move all bitcoins from the android electrum wallet to a paper wallet (yes, better to be safe than sorry with the private keys...)
2. I already got the android electrON apk file, checked the signature and checksum. I did not install it on my phone yet.
3. After electron Installation on android, I should restore the wallet from seed. And the BCH should be already there? I don't want to do something wrong.
Had somebody tried this, with success?
Thanks,
Flavius.
1. The idea is to get your BTC out of the wallet whose seed you will be using to restore to another wallet prog., so if someone steals your seed (malicious- software/-BCHwallet/-seed extractor) they can not access your BTC. Other wallet prog. or paper wallet, doesn't matter.
3. Yes, that's the procedure. Every wallet that had BTC up till august 1-2017 12.00 utc should have the same amount of BCH in it. After the restore from seed to a BCH wallet, the BCH must show up.
@sir.humus, don't have an answer to that, try different wallets to retrieve you BCH perhaps?
