Ethereum Fork: Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Splitting your ETH/ETC

in ethereum •  8 years ago 

Check your balance on both chains. (Basic ETC explorer here: http://explorer.ethereumclassic.com/). It may be the case that your balances are not the same on both chains. For instance, if you've received any refunds from the DAO withdrawal contract those funds won't be valid on the ETC chain. Could also be that you received some ETH after the fork and someone has already split the funds.

It should not be a problem if balances do not match, right? At least as long as I have more ETH than ETC and try to send less ETC than I currently have. Unfortunately it worked that way for me a few times but not the last time, so I have some ETC stuck right now /:

Might be an issue with gas. Try sending slightly less ETC than you have to ensure the transaction goes through. -0.01 should be enough.

I'm having the exact same issue and my balance was most definitely the same on both chains. I just claimed both balances from the crowd sale earlier this week and had made no other transactions until I tried the split transaction with 1 ether. The ETH was returned by the split contract but the ETC was not. At least not yet. Been two yours plus.
