I read multiple guides on how to 'claim' the BitcoinCash I'm apparently entitled to as a BTC holder. I outline below the steps I took; but at the end of this process my Electron Cash default_wallet shows a 0 mBCC balance. Please suggest where I might have gone wrong and what I can do about it:
- In Bitcoin-Qt, generate a new receiving address
- Send all my coins to the new receiving address
I started with 1.13BTC. Now my Bitcoin-Qt wallet shows a balance of 1.129BTC and under 'recent transactions' it shows the Fee for the transaction. The 'type' is 'Payment to yourself' and the Amount is -0.0023BTC
- From the Transactions tab, I open the Details for this transaction. It says 'Total debit -1.129BTC, Total credit 1.129BTC, Transaction ID 32...(64-digit hex string)'
- At https://blockchain.info I entered the Transaction ID and see all the details. I can see 4 Addresses on the Left and 1 Address on the Right (1JC...)
- In Bitcoin-qt I go to Debug > Console and run
dumpprivkey 1JC...with the full address. It outputs a private key (50 characters, alpha-numeric) - I download and run
Electron Cash 2.9.2, create a newdefault_walletand 'Import Private Keys' pasting the 50-character private kay from the Bitcoin-Qt Debug output
Electron Cash shows the Public Address (1JC...) in the Addresses tab, with Balance 0, Tx 0
Bitcoin.info says the following about the transaction:
Inputs and Outputs
Total Input
1.13157047 BTC
Total Output
1.12926194 BTC
Fees
0.00230853 BTC
You had the 1.129 BTC in the wallet before August 1st? You can verify on blockdozer.com if the address has funds which are unspent (UXTO). Then you should see them in your BCC wallet as well. – KOld – 2017-08-22T00:33:42.550

– KOld – 2017-08-22T00:40:01.227yes, I've had the BTC for over a year. Blockdozer returns
There are no transactions involving this address.for my 1JC... address - which is odd? – Black – 2017-08-22T01:18:56.307changing the Electron Cash server hasn't made a difference – Black – 2017-08-22T02:08:04.243
so do you see the funds in the address on blockchain.info from before Aug 1st? – KOld – 2017-08-22T03:42:44.037
yes, updated the question with this info – Black – 2017-08-22T06:52:37.800
I would suggest you check the funds of your addresses based on the private key entered on the bip39 page in this description: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/57422/how-to-sweep-private-extended-key-from-mycellium-into-coinomi-for-bitcoin-cash-c/57971#57971. This also provides an alternative way to sweep your funds. BTW: if the BTC chain shows different info from the BCC one - what is the date of the related transactions which have latest UXTO. This info is missing.
– KOld – 2017-08-22T11:35:35.3901send my private key info to the website of this guy on github? Um. No. – Black – 2017-08-22T12:13:35.747
Sure about your concern. That's why you should transfer your BTC before. If you like you can download the bip page. Still the date info is missing as per above to understand the difference between BTC and BCC chain. – KOld – 2017-08-22T12:39:16.233
