Claiming Bitcoin Cash From Bitcoin Core Wallet

I have finally claimed my Free Bitcoin Cash and eventually after looking through tons and tons of guides found the easiest way to do it from your Bitcoin Core wallet. As always this is a risk, it involves revealing your private keys which is why you should move your BTC to a new wallet before doing this so your Bitcoin is not compromised

Seriously its as easy as that, but on another serious note this is a risky business especially if you have high amounts of BTC. We take no responsibility for you carrying out this procedure

What you will need

Coinomi downloaded on your phone updated to the latest version, then setup Coinomi as below





Add BitcoinCash

Now open your wallet, click on the top left menu, then hit the “+ COINS” button in the button and select “BitcoinCash”.

A pop-up dialogue will appear, asking if BitcoinCash should be added. Hit the “ADVANCED SETTINGS” button. If you clicked “Add” instead you need to delete your BitcoinCash wallet and add a new one. In the “Derivation Path” please enter:

M/44H/0H/0H

Please note that the characters before “H” are zeroes and not O’s.
Go to your Bitcoin Core wallet

If your wallet is protected by a passphrase (i.e you have to enter a passphrase before you can send) unlock it by typing
walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600
dumpprivkey [your Bitcoin address here]

1.) Open Debug Window in your wallet
2.) type listaddressgroupings
3.) check every address for its balance https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin%20cash/
4.) if address has some coins in it type dumppkey + address
5.) now you have the private key
6.) sweep it into Coinomi wallet

After it is in your Coinomi wallet its up to you what you do with it, I transferred mine straight into an exchange and sold half. Its totally up to you if you wish to make a new version of Bitcoin Core wallet and transfer your funds, its recommended so you know they are safe but again if you don't know what you doing I would not recommend doing this

Seriously its as easy as that, but on another serious note this is a risky business especially if you have high amounts of BTC. We take no responsibility for you carrying out this procedure

I have seen reports that if you have your Bitcoin stored in a paper wallet you can scan the QR code with Coinomi and that will transfer your Bitcoin cash straight in, but I have not tried this
