ETH Holders: How to redeem your BTH using Jaxx
Since Ethereum and Bitcoin interact with transactions on entirely different blockchain implementations and with completely dissimilar address spaces; Bithereum has introduced a mechanism that will give you the ability to redeem BTH proportional to the amount of ETH you have, 38 ETH: 1 BTH.
To redeem BTH as an ETH holder, you must first send a 0 (zero) ETH transaction along with the your newly created BTH address (as a hex string in the data field) to the ETH redemption smart contract.
The ETH redemption smart contract pairs your ETH address to your BTH address and is referenced by the Bithereum oracle after the fork. The Bithereum oracle triggers the issuance of BTH from the ETH holder BTH allocation generated from the Bithereum genesis block.
Without further ado, here are the steps for redeeming BTH using Jaxx.
Step 1: Open Jaxx
Open your Jaxx mobile wallet application and choose Ethereum. Then click “Send”.
Step 2: Provide redemption contract address
After you haved clicked “Send”, input the following Bithereum redemption contract address into the “To Address” field:
0x3C2C10e5Ecd073D9ee238493D338Ec6e3d7281C6
Enter 0.0 ETH as the amount.
Step 3: Add the hex version of your BTH address to your transaction
Note: If you don’t have a hex version of your BTH address or have not created a BTH address, go here before proceeding with this step: https://medium.com/bithereum-network/btc-eth-holder-redemption-guide-for-bth-72d6632b04af
Click on the dropdown next to the red arrow as in the image below, and enter in your BTH address HEX output into the “Custom Data” field. Once this is entered in, you may proceed with sending the transaction.
Step 4: Generate and send your 0 ETH transaction
Confirm that everything was entered in accurately, and proceed with the transaction by clicking “Send”.
Step 5: Confirm redemption
You can now verify that your redemption process was successful by looking for your successful transaction directly on the BTH Redemption smart contract using Etherscan.
Congratulations, you have successfully redeemed your BTH! Next you can refer back to the Redemption Guide to import your BTH address into Guarda Wallet.
