How to survive hardwork and not be laid up in the hospital

the Evening of August 1 occurred hardporn bitcoin. Our friend (let's call him Dmitry) appealed to the DTI a problem: the wallet was gone all BTC + was not assessed BCH. The whole range of feelings, which experienced Dmitry and his family, will be omitted. Describe only the facts and actions that led to a positive result. More on that below.

the problem


In the eve hard forks of bitcoin Dmitry decided to protect their savings and transferred them to the hardware wallet Ledger.

the Hardware crypto - a device that provides cold storage of digital assets in an isolated environment. In such a wallet built into the key, which is used to sign transactions. In other words, is an analogue stick, which "downloaded" digital currency. Read more about the different types cryptocell can be read here.

By Tuesday night already after hard forks, Dimitri decided to open a Ledger to verify access to the wallet in the blockchain Bitcoin Cash.

However, he faced two important problems:

the

    After splitting the wallet to BTC and BCH-parts (more about this in our algorithm below) on the Bitcoin wallet Cash amount accrued BCH is equal to zero. the

  • When switching back to the Bitcoin wallet BTC amount is also reset, + has been removed the transaction and reset the interface settings.

the in Other words, instead of receiving two times more bitcoins, Dmitry lost all.

Review the technical part of the DTI:
According to the idea of a fork duplicates the entire blockchain, respectively, and all wallets. Ledger provides access to the duplicate wallet in the blockchain Bitcoin Cash, he called the Main wallet. However, for security purposes it is recommended to transfer all funds to a new wallet — Split. Dmitry went to the Ledger wallet and saw a zero balance of BTC and BCH-Split. The zero balance of BTC was caused by a bug of the app and zero on the BCH-Split normal, because the coin it is still necessary to transfer from purse BCH-Main.

the

Recovery Bitcoin


Experience Dmitry has shown that the "glitch" in which the lost BTC, is eliminated in two ways:

the
    the
  • restore wallet for keywords
    • the
  • via the menu in the app: "Settings" (where to find them, is shown in the algorithm below) — "Tools" — "Reset"

As a result, he was able to return the BTC, however, BCH has not appeared in my wallet.

Review the technical part of the DTI:
the Recovery of the purse was not required. Many people in the discussion on Reddit wrote that the wallet shows zero balance and a blank transaction history after the change of the blockchain. This problem is corrected by the second paragraph.

the

Getting Bitcoin Cash


As pointed Ledger, all holders of BTC to your wallet automatically receive BCH. However, as it turned out, the problem may occur when you try to find them. For this you need to update the device (in the case of a hardware wallet) and follow the next — it works with Ledger-wallets:

1) Download from Ledger Manager and install a Bitcoin wallet Cash.



2) Open a Bitcoin wallet and Cash in the Bitcoin app in the Chrome App, choose "Settings" — "Blockchains".




3) Choose Bitcoin Cash, and then click on "Split".



4) Click the down arrow and copy the address.




5) Choose "Settings" — "Blockchain" — "Bitcoin Cash", "Main", by analogy with paragraphs 2 and 3.

6) Send the required amount to your Bitcoin BCH Cash "Split" wallet (the address that was copied in step 4).






the Important: BCH will appear in the purse is not right — you need to wait time before you add the transaction block, the Bitcoin network, usually about 10 minutes.


In the future, for the use of the BCH always use a Bitcoin wallet Cash "Split".

If the algorithm did not lead to the desired result, you can use for more tips on the website Ledger:
