<br> | <br> | ||||
<b>Answer:</b> Nothing changed on the blockchain. Under the hood, "eCash" (XEC) is the same thing as "BCHA". The way it is displayed to users simply changed. So nothing happened to BCHA token, it just changed name to eCash/XEC, and the default base unit changed so that 1,000,000 XEC = 1 BCHA.</p> | <b>Answer:</b> Nothing changed on the blockchain.

<p>A good way to split BCH and eCash from each other is to use Electrum ABC and Electron Cash, as described <a href="https://blog.bitcoinabc.org/2020/11/25/how-to-split-your-bch-bchn-and-bcha-coins-using-electrum-abc-and-electron-cash/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> | <p>A good way to split BCH and eCash from each other is to use Electrum ABC and Electron Cash, as described <a href="https://blog.bitcoinabc.org/2020/11/25/how-to-split-your-bch-bchn-and-bcha-coins-using-electrum-abc-and-electron-cash/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> | ||||
<p>Another method is to use an exchange such as <a href="https://www.coinex.com/exchange/bcha-usdt" target="_blank">Coinex</a> which will split the coins for you, as <a href="https://youtu.be/RBxfAG1Tm3c" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> explains. But remember that the splitting process may not always go as planned so it is wise to test with smaller amounts first, or use a method where you only send coins to yourself (as with the <a href="/electrum/" target="_blank">Electrum ABC</a> - Electron Cash method above).</p> | <p>Another method is to use an exchange such as <a href="https://www.coinex.com/exchange/bcha-usdt" target="_blank">Coinex</a> which will split the coins for you, as <a href="https://youtu.be/RBxfAG1Tm3c" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> explains.
