Make the wallet is clean and legit before you claim your free coins.
Yes, always check and ensure the wallet is clean. It's just a matter of time before scammers start scamming this way. Another option is to move BTC to an exchange that supports the fork, and be credited the new fork coins without having to insert private keys into a wallet.
We help by giving BTC holders their share of BCI which they can park and gain interest. Other people (who do not have BTC) can still purchase BCI on exchanges and use it to store their wealth and generating interest.
You can check out KuCoin exchange (https://www.kucoin.com/#/?r=14sR7). It made its promise to support any future forks.
I have few more questions:
1) Why have you started the new project whilst you have a few more in the pipeline currently?
2) What's real use case of your fork? is it only desire to gain free Bitcoin "whatever" coin that drives you?
3) How can you be so sure about your fork coin being in demand?
Permit me to doubt in project's general necessity
We have a large team, and we all work on cryptos full time. We also have many coders/programmers who work for us. While we do have other projects (which are all on schedule), there is plenty of time and human resources for Bitcoin Interest. We feel there is a need for such a coin. We want to provide a safe, secure, and profitable place for people to store their wealth. While I can not speculate on the demand or the price, I can say our interest payment model is set up in a way to reward users in the event demand is low. Please see our site for a better understanding of how our interest payments work.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thank you.
