What is bitcoin cash wallet and core wallet
This guide will show you how to export private keys from a Bitcoin Core wallet. You will need a Bitcoin Core wallet that contained Bitcoin at the time of the Bitcoin Cash hard fork. Any transactions since the hard fork will not be available on the Bitcoin Cash chain. We will be using the Electron Cash wallet to import the private keys and claim the Bitcoin Cash. The first thing we need to do is export all of our private keys that contained Bitcoin at the time of the hard fork.
Once we have exported the keys we will be able to import them into Electron Cash and then spend the Bitcoin Cash. To export the keys perform the following steps. With each private key copied to a text file, you are now ready to move onto the next step and claim your Bitcoin Cash. This step is optional but I highly recommend sending your full wallet balance to a new Bitcoin address where the private key will not be imported in the following steps.
The reason for doing this is to guarantee the creators of the Electon Cash wallet do not have access to your Bitcoin private keys and funds. Electron Cash is a fork of Electrum. As a result, the payment can arrive late and need to be refunded. This will cost you time and money.
These non-Payment Protocol wallets make it too easy to send the incorrect amount of bitcoin. For that reason, BitPay now requires all payments to be made with a Payment Protocol compatible software or hardware wallet.
If you don't have one of these wallets yet, simply create a wallet please use the current release version and send some bitcoin to it. The following wallets are fully compatible.
We are currently working to add more fully-compatible wallets. Our goal isn't to limit users' wallet choices.
We require Payment Protocol-compatible wallets to protect users from common, expensive and sometimes irreversible payment mistakes. We continue to work with other wallet providers in the Bitcoin ecosystem to advance adoption of the Bitcoin Payment Protocol.
We have released a simpler JSON interface for Payment Protocol which will make it easier for wallets to adopt these improvements. We're encouraged by the response we have received.
