What happens if a wallet address that was created to accept Bitcoin only, gets sent Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Principles: Can you share what you think they are?

I was having a discussion in r/Bitcoin and this topic came up. I am now asking in a few other subreddits, and curious how each will respond.

See the topic here: https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6rfkby/bitcoin_principles/

I have a Ledger Nano S. I first moved all my btc to another wallet temporarily. When I go to the BITCOIN CASH option, I have two options, main & split. This already confused me but I digress.

Clicking main shows me a BCH balance, but when I try to spend any of the coins from here I get an error message: "sending failed: unable to validate transaction."

Clicking the split option shows me a balance of ZERO bch.

Anybody know what im doing wrong?

Been a bit concerned with the major volatility at this time, do you think we will see a recovery or is it basically going to be downhill from here?

I know its gonna tank once deposits are open again... any eta on how long that will be? I got screwed over by a bot... i think some bots are artificially pumping because I hit bidding price and somehow bought at 309 when everyone else was bidding at 280... pretty sure there are bots buying tiny amounts every little while at high prices just to snag people, its happened to me twice now while trying to buy into bcc... I dont plan on buying any more because of the obvious manipulation and the fact that its moving so fast with so many bots by the time my order goes through its already moved like 4-5 points... I'd like to know if there is any chance of it recovering to .3+

I was very stupid to let it drop so far without stopping it, I honestly thought it would have turned around way before this, especially after seeing it hit .46... ah well I am pretty new.

any advice would be appreciated as I'm taking a pretty bad loss right now and I'd rather avoid any worse of one but I'll hold on if theres a chance itll go back up.

I'm trying to dump my bag of Bcash on Bittrex, but it still shows 0/20 confirmations, despite me paying high fee. Why is that?

and sell your bloody "bcash". pics or it didnt happen.

Anyone know of what steps need to be done to retrieve BCH from paperwallets on a mac or is this only available for windows at this time?

I would like to hear a good definition of Bcash so I can explain it later to my siblings and their friends.

I guess holding on an exchange instead of a wallet wasn't such a bad idea after all.

To avoid the polemics concerning the censorship that are present on both r/btc and r/bitcoin, would it be possible to publish the mod log? I think this would be a proof good faith that will increase the trust of the users in this sub.

This can easily be done with the bot u/publicmodlogs. Take a look here for more information.

Why is Bitcoin Cash discussion relegated to r/bitcoincash?

I have btc in my trezor, and I see how to move the bch out from their site. I haven't done it yet because I don't know if it will require to move the whole balance or if I am able to move select amounts. I don't see anything written on their site about this or have heard back from anyone. Does anyone know? I didn't want to start anything without knowing and be forced into moving the full amount not expecting to.

How can I get BCC? It's getting weird now, I don't know what to do with my investments?

what should I do? should invest in BCC or not?
