What wallet did you send them to?
I ask to make sure you didn't send them to some dodgy scamware wallet.

We can't really help you without knowing details here, but in general, if you send bitcoins before Aug 1, you are just sending normal bitcoins, and they will be split on Aug 1 into BTC+BCC .

So as long as you send to a reputable wallet or service, they should have your bitcoins now. If it is YOUR wallet you sent to, you should be able to have them in there as bitcoins now (once the transaction is confirmed) and you should be able to use them as normal before Aug 1.

I don't recommend you transact very shortly before or after Aug 1 12:20:00 pm - wait until there are reports that the fork chain is publicly released, actively mined and can be stably used.

Thank you so much for your help Mr. ftrader . I used the latest stable release: 0.14.6 of Bitcoin Abc Wallet, and i have the private key but, when i use the Bitcoin Paper Wallet to validate the private key, it returns a different public key (Did Bitcoin Abc Wallet use different algorithm to generate the public key ?) .

Do you have a transaction hash?
