Hello
I've went through the messages here but I didn't find my case..
So, what I did is installed the (I think) legit Electron Cash software from https://electroncash.org/
I put in my private BTC paper wallet key in the "sweep" menu.. and nothing much happened in Electron Cash
But a few seconds maybe a minute later I suddenly saw in the Electrum "watching only" wallet that my BTC balance changed to 0!!
A transaction had been done to an unknown (to me) BTC address.
Can anyone explain to me what had happened?  Huh
Like I said, I'm pretty sure I installed the correct Electron Cash software, so it shouldn't have stolen anything.
regards
Mike
