RE: Bitcoin cash wallet

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Another question is, does one simply export their private key from Bitcoin Core and import it into a Bitcoin Cash wallet? Is this the correct process of things?

But secondly, I've never exported my private keys before... if I do this, will my wallet no longer be there in bitcoin core?

I would have just thought you copy/paste the wallet.dat into a Bitcoin Cash wallet, but apparently it's not that simple?

Thanks for bringing up this topic, everyone really is on edge :)

Sort:  

I believe yes, the process will roughly be proving that you are the account holder of BTC addresses pre-fork and you will pick up where you left off so to speak on the BCC chain. Very simple stuff xD

and by that I mean

Edit: 'pick up where you left off', should you not just dump all your BCC which is what may end up happening
