I have been looking for a way to get my Bitcoin Cash out of my Exodus Wallet for a few days because I found out they are not going to support Bitcoin Cash. Then I decided to look closer at Exodus.io, What I found under the STATUS tab was
As of August 1st, 2017 @ 10:45 PM Pacific Time - We have decreased the status notification from red to blue. You can safely send / receive/ and exchange bitcoin now. We are still working on an easy way for Exodus customers to send their BCH out of Exodus.
I emailed them and was told there will be a way to get my Bitcoin Cash out of Exodus in the new update 1.31.0 Which is available now. I am going to walk everyone through how to update their Exodus Wallet and get there Bitcoin Cash moved out in 10 easy steps.
STEP 1. Close your Exodus Wallet and then Go to Exodus.io and click download.
STEP 2. After clicking download you will have to pick your operating system, your download will begin. Once finished downloading click run and Exodus will automatically update your wallet with the new version. This will not affect your password , 12 word phrase, balance, or private keys. They will all stay the same. I don't know if the windows will look the same on all operating systems , mine was done on Windows (64bit).
STEP 3. After Exodus has finished updating your wallet, open your wallet and make sure it is running the updated version 1.31.0. You can see the version of the wallet in the top right hand corner of the wallet window.
STEP 4. Click on the Help Button on the left side of your Exodus Wallet.
STEP 5. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the help section and click on How Do I Claim My Bitcoin Cash (BCH)?
STEP 6. Click on the green button that says Claim My Bitcoin Cash Now!
STEP 7. Click continue.
STEP 8 Click check my wallet. It says it takes 10 minutes but mine took less than a minute.
STEP 9 Put the address to the wallet you want to send your Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to and then click continue. Just so everyone knows (BCH and BCC are the same coin at least at the time of this writing), I confirmed this with Exodus and all my BCH from my Exodus wallet to my Bittrex BCC wallet went through fine.
STEP 10 Make sure you check all your information good on this window, this is the last chance you get to cancel the transaction and you can not reverse it after you click send. I have blacked all mine out for this although I think even if the wrong person seen it , they could not do anything with it. It says could take 1-2 hours but it took mine about 30 hours.
That is it 10 easy steps to walk you right through it. You should see a window with Success. You should see a TX number here. I have black mine out again.
When you click ViewTX it will take you to Blockdozer.com
@halo Thank You so much for such an informative post and giving us these 10 easy steps I was also wondering how I was going to get my BCH out of Exodus and was to scared to do anything because of some stuff I was reading on not to trust the bitcoin cash wallets.
You are very welcome :)
I know nothing about the Exodus wallet. I guess I should do some research, or maybe you can point me in the right direction? Thanks.
What are you wanting to know about it?
Thanks much, @halo. I waited awhile for this all to settle and you and Exodus have made it simple. My transfer to Polo went thru immediately and couldn't have been easier.
