possible to get my bitcoin cash but leave my btc on core?

Thu Oct 26, 2017 6:25 pm

hey if anyone can help me, i been looking and cant find a definite answer.
is there a wallet i can use my private to collect my bitcoin cash, but it leaves my bitcoins on my core i run?
i have never tried to get them, but i dont want to run a new wallet for btc as i am comfortable with core and run a full node.

i would like to use my private key that has my bitcoins on it, and have a totally seperate wallet for bitcoin cash.

i looked at bitcoin.com wallet, electron cash and coinoni. they say the wallets can get the bitcoin cash, but it also says the bitcoins get loaded there too, which i dont want.

any help is great, thanks guys!

If you're used to Bitcoin Core, you can simply install Bitcoin ABC, which works almost the same except that it's for Bitcoin Cash.

Do not run both simultaneously and ensure you make them use separate data directories.

Unless something changed since August, Bitcoin ABC can directly read Bitcoin Core's wallet file format, so you can just copy the wallet file. Before the fork you could even copy the entire data directory but I'm not sure if that still works.

Return to “Bitcoin Cash”
