<p>hey guys i followed an instruction from reddit and exodus chat and both had similar instructions to retieve Bitcoin Cash. I followed the instructions and it seemed like i received the coins though it took hours to confirm.</p>
<p>I started by stransfering my BTC from Exodus to Jaxx, then use the Exodus private key to retrieve BCC with Electron Cash.</p>
<p>I opened it yesterday and it said i had the balance i expected. today i open it it says 0 BCC.</p>
<p>take a look:

I believe Electron/um can't distinguish BCC from BTC transactions, so if you spent coins in one side, it will show up as an unconfirmed tx on the other side.

It looks like you're not the only one who ran into this. Someone posted about this on [bitcoin talk](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059091.0) too. One user posted this is the result of a peer list poisoning bug:

Apparently the casharia server is working for people.

Also quick PSA that Electron Cash is not related to the Electrum Bitcoin SPV wallet. This is the announcement on BCC from Elecrum: <https://electrum.org/bcc.txt>

There's also a [warning](https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt) about Electron Cash from Electrum:
