Troubleshooting

Balance is not showing

• Are you using the correct wallet type (EC or EC SLP) and network (mainnet, testnet, testnet4, scalenet)?

• Are you using the latest version of Electron Cash or Electron Cash SLP?
• Is your Electron Cash wallet connected and synchronized?
  • If the light is red or orange: change server (Tools->Network->Server)
  • If it is loading: wait for synchronization

• Did you use the correct derivation path if you have imported a recovery seed?
• Did you try: Wallet -> Scan for more addresses...?

I cannot import a private key

If your key is in hexadecimal format:

• Go to cashaddress.org (move your mouse until it shows 100%)
• Click on Wallet Details
• Enter your private key
• Click View Details
• Now import the WIF compressed key (starts with a 'K' or 'L') from this page in Electron Cash or Electron Cash SLP

The transaction was rejected because it is too large

Rejected transactions are disappointing, but it’s better than the alternative: having your transactions in limbo for weeks, or thinking that your transaction was accepted when it was not. A "the transaction was rejected because it is too large (in bytes)." error usually happens when you are probably trying to spend coins from a mining wallet or a coin faucet.

Bitcoin Cash transactions have a maximum size of 100KB, and you have created a transaction over that size. The solution is to break up the transactions into chunks under 100KB each.

To do this:

• View -> "Show Coins." Click on the "Coins" tab.
• Select about 500 inputs in the Coins Tab
• Alt-click and select "Spend"
• Click Preview and check the size.
