I'm depositing from a paper wallet, dn't underatand the rule about depositting it all or losing it.
I want to deposit into Bittrex, get bch, buy some altcoin, deposit most into second paper wallet that bittrex doesn't the the pvt key to. Without losing any BTC or BCH.
How to do this?

Learn about the tech or you will inevitably get scammed sooner or later with that little knowledge.
Anyways.
Import priv key into Electrum. Send some of BTC funds to bittrex, the rest to another new paper wallet.
Import same old priv key into electron cash, send some of your BCH funds to Bittrex, the rest to the new paper wallet.
Done

Thanks for the reply.
Even Electrum is massively confusing to me, is there a way around this?
Is sweeping it all straight to bittrex safe? Will they give me BCH? Can I send some of Bitrex wallet to my second paper wallet?
I had no idea using the btc would be this tricky. thanks again.

A wallet is only an interface to access, send, receive your coins.
The coins are safed on the blockchain via your private key.
At the moment your private key holds 2 currencies, btc and bch.
You cannot import private keys to bittrex, only send them there by using a wallet.
Electrum is a wallet to send BTC.
Electron cash is a wallet to send BCH.
Bittrex won't give you any BCH for depositing BTC.
But of course you can withdraw any currency anywhere once deposited.
Clear?

Sorry I'm thickskulled, one thing is still unclear to me:
To send money from paper wallet to Electrum, I must send it all. But the BCH has to go to Electon cash.
So
If I send BTC to Electron, will all my BCH disappear? Or do I already have them in separate but identical keys/paper wallets?

You can send BTC (only) to this address:

It will give you Bitcoin Cash back in your electrum wallet. Make sure you send it from electrum wallet, otherwise you cant claim your Bitcoin Cash..

You can's send anything with a piece of paper.
Just follow the steps in my first answer

Thanks for that it worked I'm on Electrum now
They say not to use Electrumcash on the same device so I downloaded Exodus, and it's tellling me the key isn't a BCH key.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
