Because there is no replay protection added to BSV, you need to split your coins before you use them. Otherwise you risk loosing them on the other chain.

The general process:

Import wallet into electron-cash

Receive dust (a tiny amount of already split and non-replayable BCH) or sign with Schnorr

Combine all your coins with the dust and send it to a new address you control

Wait for a confirmation

Import wallet into electrum-sv

Combine all coins and send to a new address, no dust needed this time

Wait for a confirmation

Done!

Always install the newest version of the wallet software.

Possible derivation paths:

m/0'

m/44'/0'/0'

m/44'/145'/0'

Wallet types:

Seed phrase File > New/Restore Name it & click next Select standard wallet Select I already have a seed Enter your seed Click the options button, select BIP39 seed (Skip this step if you are using a seed created natively in electron-cash/electrum) Enter your derivation path Continue

Paper wallet File > New/Restore Name it & click next Select Import Bitcoin Cash addresses or private keys Enter your private key Continue

Hardware wallet File > New/Restore Name it & click next Select standard wallet Use Hardware wallet Select your device Enter your derivation path



For paper wallets and seed phrases you can simply create a new transaction, send all your coins to yourself in a transaction that is signed with Schnorr.

Enable Schnorr (default since EC v4.0.3):

Tools > Preferences > Transactions tab

Select Sign with Schnorr signatures

Create transaction:

Go to Receive tab and copy the receiving address (for paper wallets, create or use another standard wallet for a new receiving address)

Go to send tab and paste the receiving address

Click the Max button (make sure the dust is included)

Click send

Done!

For hardware wallets you'll need to use some BCH dust, since most do not support Schnorr signatures:

Get yourself some dust on a new receiving address

Get a new receiving address

Go to send tab

Paste new receiving address

Click the Max button (make sure the dust is included)

Hit Send

Done!

Follow the same procedure as #2

No need for dust this time.
