safely claim bitcoin cash from electrum...

... or any other wallet, you control your seed of, WITHOUT USING ELECTRON CASH

yes folks, this is really going to work and make you happy, so at the end of this tutorial and the peak of your happiness don´t forget to be thankful to me :D

Reading Time about 3minutes

what you need (at least this was my comfortable setup)

1. computer with electrum 2.8.3 or higher installed (https://electrum.org/#download)
2. android smartphone with coinomi installed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinomi.wallet&hl=en)
3. your bag of seeds
4. one relaxed hour with your favorite drink, cause you know, you are going to have your BCH under your control after that.

HERE WE GO:

Emptying your wallet might be a safety option if you don´t trust coinomi for some reason, but you are not going to expose your full seed or give complete control over your wallet to it anyways. I personally reliefed my wallet from any BTC on it and then proceeded.

Open your wallet in Electrum. If you need to create a new one, do this as already described multiple times in the internet.
Create wallet – standard wallet – i already have a seed – plant seed – options tick BIP39 – DONE

Go to your adresses, if you use Electrum 2.9.2 go to VIEW – Show adresses first.
Receiving => Used => right click on adresses opens the menu
Change => Used => same same
You will need „Copy Address, History, Private key“ from the right click menu.

Research begins. You need to understand that BCH can only still be on addresses if they got BTC transferred to them before the fork on August 1 and have been emptied (or not) after the fork. So you look around the first of august with
RIGHT CLICK – History and try to find something like in the following picture.

Now check it! right click – copy address – paste it on blockdozer.com (it shows 0 now, because i just swept it with coinomi)

then go back to electrum - right click that address – Private key – show QR Code
Take your phone – add bitcoin cash to coinomi overview – in the right top corner choose to
sweep paperwallet – scan QR Code and voila – here they are.

BCH are shady little Critters that love to hide especially in your change addresses. You will probably find a lot of them in there, depending on how you acted before the hardfork.

Rinse and repeat, you can also just copy all the adresses into blockdozer and look them up manually one after the other if you don´t have too many transactions in the history and therefore did not create too many change addresses.

Thanks for your attention and kind donation of a small amount bitcoin cash to:
