"Electrum Wallet" is for BTC "Bitcoin": https://electrum.org/#download

"Electron Cash" is for BCH "Bitcoin Cash": https://electroncash.org ...I do NOT know if it is safe but I have used it on a separate computer.

Both of them gave me warning from Chrome that they might not be safe but I have used them without any issues. I think it is only a false positive.

This is what I did and it worked perfectly fine:


1. Before the fork, I had my bitcoins in Electrum wallet, call it "W1".
2. After the fork, I created a new wallet in Electrum call it "W2".
3. I move ALL my BTC bitcoins from W1 -> W2.
4. I install Electron Cash (for BCH Bitcoin Cash) and make a wallet in it "WCH1".
5. I export private key from Electrum "W1" (NOT W2!), from "W1" which is EMPTY.
6. I restore/import private keys from empty "W1"(BTC wallet) into "WCH1"(BCH Bitcoin Cash) wallet.
7. Now I have same amount of BCH Bitcoin Cash, which I had in W1 as BTC Bitcoin.

The reason for making W1 BTC empty and move all into W2 BTC is that in case the WCH1(BCH Bitcoin Cash) wallet is not safe, they won't be able to steal my bitcoins because I only use the private keys for the now EMPTY "W1" BTC wallet in the new BCH wallet.

Then from the BCH wallet, I sent my BCH Bitcoin Cash into my Exchange account.

BE CAREFUL:

DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY SEND BCH INTO A BTC ADDRESS.
DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY SEND BTC INTO A BCH ADDRESS.
...if you do any of those mistakes, your coins will be LOST FOREVER.


It's simple but read 10 times before you do it so that you can be sure you actually understood what I did.  

You can find more wallets for Bitcoin Cash here: https://www.bitcoincash.org/#wallets

Your BCH coins are ALREADY in the BCH chain!!! Do NOT send your BTC to it!!! If you import your old BTC private key into a BCH wallet, your BCH coin will magically appear in this BCH wallet!

But before you do, MOVE your BTC into A NEW BTC WALLET.

PLEASE READ 1000 TIMES.

OK, so are we concluding that Xapo did NOT sell those coins (unless otc)? They either kept them or went otc?

I sense some hostility towards bitcoin cash. Virus? Anyway I just bought a few, slowly accumulating on dips. Its a good coin. Satoshi would approve

Yes, my bad. I didn't see it first. I edited my post. Thank you.


Although, he prices it mainly on USD. If he would price it ONLY in BCH/BCC... now THAT would be interesting.

Probably continue as normal practice let it limp for a day then disappear once Jihan tells them to take a break
