This is something that I have been working on for some time ( learning how to split off my forks from bitcoin). I personally use either Coinomi or Ballet Wallets ( produced by Charlie Lee's brother Bobby Lee) to split my forks. I would probably give Coinomi the nod above ballet due to ballet not having a customizable sweeping fee, where as Coinomi does. I swept a satori poker chip ( funded collectible) and at the time bitcoin was around 10k. I swept out $10 but only got $7 afterwards, for example of how that can backfire.

How does having a Ballet wallet enable claiming already forked coins? I'm interested because I recently purchased both Ballet and Tagem wallets and can see that the Ballet Wallet App has the feature to add additional crypto wallets such as Bitcoin Cash / SV etc. Would it occur via importing the priv key somehow and the app does the rest?

You can either import your priv keys into the various wallets for the forked coins, or, you can hand your wallet.dat / priv keys over to someone else. I would advise you don't hand over your wallet.dat, or any of your priv keys unless you have done a little bit more than a cursory glance at the various suggestions on offer. Read up on the various threads and draw your own conclusions.

I would recommend you to read the next thread: LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/loycevs-bitcoin-fork-claiming-guide-and-service-2836875

There is the right information about how to claim the forked coins and how to do it step by step, I hope it helps. Before dealing with wallets i would recommend you to search the address on the blockchain to verify if they have coins on it.

I found that post, but I find the instructions ambiguous:

Quote

How to claim forks
1. Setup a new secure Bitcoin wallet (create backups!), and move all your Bitcoins from your old wallet to your new wallet. To avoid confusion later, label your old wallet (I suggest "compromised for forks") and make sure nobody is going to send any Bitcoin to any of the addresses anymore. Don't delete your old wallet.
2. Wait until your Bitcoins are confirmed on their new addresses.
3. Export the private keys to the addresses that hold Forkcoins.
4. Start with the most valuable fork, and work your way downwards from there. That means Bitcoin Cash comes first, followed by Bitcoin Gold.
5. Install a Forkcoin wallet. Make sure this wallet can't compromise the rest of your system.
6. Import one private key at a time (this reduces the risk if you installed a rogue wallet), and send it to the exchange of your choice.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for all other forks.

Setup a new secure Bitcoin wallet - but we are dealing with 2 wallets for 2 new coins. I am assuming that if the original wallet was electron cash, it means to set up a new electron cash wallet?
move all your Bitcoins - But since step 2 says to wait until they are confirmed, I am actually sending bitcoins from the old wallet, which is out of date, to the new wallet and a new address? Because "move" could also indicate to just transfer the private key to the new wallet?

Where did you keep your btc when the fork happened? Electrum?

As I mentioned in the original post, I had BCH in the electron cash wallet, 2.9, and I'm looking to claim the BCH/BSV.

List of forks since bitcoin cash.

https://blog.bitmex.com/44-bitcoin-fork-coins/

If you want to make it easier, you can use some wallets that have this feature like Exodus which is easier. There's a guide that you may like.

Link looks out of date as it doesn't mention BSV, I was wanting to make sure there weren't any forks off of BCH or BSV since the BCH/BSV fork.

I had some BCH before the fork, firstly how do I see a list of BCH forks? Maybe there are more besides BCH and BSV, and have either of them forked since?

It is in electron cash wallet 2.9. Can I do the following:

1. Install new version of electron cash.
2. Install ElectrumSV.
3. Import private seed into new electron cash.
4. Import the same private seed into new ElectrumSV.

Am I then done? I am not sure what the issue of replay protection is, but it doesn't apply to me, right?
