Step By Step Guide On Claiming BitcoinCash from Mycelium Wallet

in btc •  7 years ago 

I have an HD account in Mycelium with no funds, but I have a single address account (paper wallet) used in Mycelium and I want to claim my BCHs.
Would it work, if I would send my BTCs to my HD Mycelium account first and then sweep the private key into Coinomi to claim my BCH?
As soon as I sweep, there won't be any funds on my paper wallet right?

I have very similiar ( if not the same issue) .
I have an HD Account ( Mycelium) with zero Balance, and a Single address with All my BTC.

I tried using my 12 word Master seed but it only brought up my HD Address with zero funds.

I have a separate Address for my Single address, and im not sure if the Private Key is the same for both.

Nervous of making a mistake by transferring funds to HD ACT Bc im almost positive the btc wasnt in their at time of fork.

And im pretty positive i wasnt given ANOTHER 12-WORD Master seed for my Single Address..

So IM LOST ON WHAT TO DO , ANY HELP PLEASE?

Try importing your paper wallets private key into Coinomi.

If you send funds from paper wallet to mycellium now then you won't get any BCH because snapshot of BTC balances is already taken in August.

no, not true, because the amount of BCH are still on this private key and on a different chain. Already claimed it, thanks!

@vansman.
Do you beleive My HD Address & Single Address has Same Private Key like yours did?

If so i should be able to do what you did to Claim my BCH

I beleive i have a similiar ( if not same ) scenario as you.
I have an HD account with mycelium but also have a Single Address account in which the Single Address has the BTC in it.
( When my funds were in the HD Account it kept Saying backup funds, and after numerous attempts at fixing this , the only resolve i foind was moving them to the Single Address and backing it up .Says local trader account in green.

So i Followed the Same Directions that worked for everyone else / Put in my 12 word passphrase from Mycelium and it Transferred My HD Accounts Address with No balance , and My Single Address Remained.

So im not sure HOW to Transfer the Single Address bc there "Apparently" isnt a 12 word passphrase connected to it??

The BTC has been in this Single Address well Before August .

Im not Sure How to transfer funds to my Original HD Account, (i could figure that out ) but not Sure i should since the " snapshot" was taken while the BTC was in Single Address.

So i try to follow what you did and trasfer to HD Account ( that i already copied to Coinomi) ...
OR i try to Sweep My Single Address into Coinomi like @libert suggested ( also don't know how to go about doing ) lol.. Laughing out of frustration but in HOPES SOMEONE CAN GIVE SOME HELP.

THANK ANYONE IN ADVANCE.
