Sounds like you lost it.

I've only done a few transactions(sending) since the split. I can't see how it disappeared/lost it?  Here is step by step what happened.

1. I had a Electrum wallet since around 2014, I left it this whole time.
2. Before the split, my computer messed up.  I felt it was safest to just leave everything until after the split
3. After the split I got a new laptop, with a fresh install of Electrum and I entered the seed for my original wallet(the one containing all my BTC)
4. All of my BTC appeared just fine, I did a few transactions in the following weeks, just sending a few 0.1BTC.  Everything is fine here.
5. After reading about the split, I got curious to see if I had BCC available since I held BTC before the split - so I went to Blockchair and typed in my wallet address which contained some BTC.
6. Results on Blockchair said the correct amount of BTC available, but 0(ZERO) BCC available.  I thought I was suppose to have both.
7. I came here to start this new thread.


The only thing I can think of is that I have to split it FIRST (move the BTC, then assume the original seed to a BCC compat wallet) then check Blockchair to see that I have both the same amount?

Sorry for any confusion.

So I must first move the BTC to a BCC compatible wallet in order to see the BCC on blockchair correct?
You can't recover BCH from Electrum... You need to use a BCH compatible wallet like ElectronCash. www.electroncash.org

If you had BTC on addresses at the time of the fork on Aug 1, then those addresses will contain BCH now, regardless of what you did with your BTC after August 1st.

Hmm but in blockchair it says my wallet address has BTC but no BCC. I have owned BTC on that wallet for many many years.

I was under the impression that a blockchain explorer like BlockCHAIR would show the Bitcoin CASH and my normal BTC without me having to split them. I have yet to split them, is that why it is not showing the Bitcoin CASH?

I had bitcoin before Aug 1st. On Aug 10th I transfered the electrum seed to a new computer and I no longer have access to the old computer. I have done a few transactions on this new electrum since. Do I still have Bitcoin CASH or did it get lost when I re-typed my seed into the new computer? When I checked the blockchain to see if my wallet had any BCC there was none.
