Topic: Claiming Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin SV? - page 2. (Read 319 times)

You can use it, but shouldn't rely on the site: I've seen it give incorrect data several times.

Start by entering your addresses, it shows several Forks already.

There's really no way to tell without checking the address (because of the lack of replay protection).

How do i use blockchair to find the addresses holding the forkcoins?  


I do not have a clue about paper wallets... i dont think i want to get involved in that.


But I was told last time the bitcoin SV will be there though and it didn't matter when I claim it.  So that isn't true?  So that only applied to BCH?  Again I never claimed bitcoin sv because the process a while back seemed a lot complicated since there was talk about sweeping keys etc... which i have no clue about.

I thought you're looking for a wallet where you can send your BSV? (the quoted part)
So, one of the safest option is to also send it to your Ledger, the will-be-created wallet in ElectrumSV will only work as an interface for the Hardware wallet.

You may also use https://findmycoins.ninja/ to see which coins are available for your address. And again - read carefully LoyceV's topic regarding fork coins (or if you are lazy ask him to claim them for you   )

I am not really sure if I understand what you mean, but BTC is not in "electrum" or on pendrive etc. You had your keys/seed whatever in some application - and that's all. Information about BTC stored under given address were kept in distributed blockchain, when fork occurred you, as a "owner" of original BTC address you became also owner of fork coins.
ow the point is that you need different software to be able to access fork coins base on your original seed/address/key.

Isn't the issue here my btc was in electrum the entire time all those forks occured?  The bch, btg and bitcoin sv and even those bitcoin diamond and private forks... when all those happened... my btc was still in electrum.  I did not claim my BCH until much later.  And i used electroncash for that.


So how would the nano ledger be involved here?  Wouldn't that not apply here?

It's easiest to use Blockchair.com to find which addresses currently hold your Forkcoins. Note that the "default" search doesn't include all Forks they support, and their eCash search doesn't seem to support legacy addresses anymore.

A simple legacy Bitcoin paper wallet will do (but you need follow the necessary precautions when you created it, and don't fall for scam sites).

You can also use your Ledger Nano, not using Ledger Live but ElectrumSV.
Ledger has an article about it in their support page: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012270054-Bitcoin-SV-BSV-?docs=true

The BCH I claimed a while back with electroncash was sent to my nano ledger.  The BCH has been there ever since.


So right now, i download that program I posted to claim the SV?  The other thing is there isn't any wallets where it seems keeping the SV there is safe?  


I know i could send btg to the nano ledger.

Short version: Your BSV and BCH-A (now Ecash) might have moved already. If not, you're lucky, and should get some dust on those chains to split them. If it moved cross chain to your hardware wallet, you can still recover it. I can get you some Forkcoin dust if needed (strings attached, of course).
Also get BTG and BCD, forget about the other forks. If one of them ever becomes valueble: please let me know how you claimed it

Then use Coinomi on Iphone. I wouldn't install Fork wallets on an active computer, don't trust them! Either use a VM, or a disposable system, or Coinomi.

Bitcoin SV first since you've already claimed your BCH from the fork.

Reason is BSV has no "replay protection" and attacker might use your previous BCH transaction to send it to the same recipient in the BSV network.
Anyways, if the recipient is also you and it's sent to a non-custodial wallet, then there's no major threat concerning that.
Bitcoin Gold in the other hand, has replay protection so, you can send it last.

Check LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service).

A while back I kept my btc in electrum.  I then eventually got a nano ledger.  During all the forks, bitcoin cash, gold and SV, I did not claim any of these while my btc was in electrum.  Only after I got a nano ledger, I then transferred btc from electrum to nano ledger.  It wasn't till a while later, I downloaded electroncash and then type in my electrum 12 word seed into it and then BCH showed up.  I then sent the BCH from electroncash to nano ledger.  Thus I did not claim my BCH until after all these forks.



I want to claim the bitcoin sv and gold now. 



Do you recommend me claim bitcoin sv first on the laptop and then bitcoin gold?  Or vice versa?  I heard you should claim from highest value to lowest but also read you should do easiest to hardest.



Is it still

Do i only need to type in my 12 word electrum seed into it and thats it or is it much more complicated.  I had claimed my bitcoin cash with the 12 word electrum seed using Electroncash.  Then I moved the BCH to a hardware wallet.


A while back someone suggested coinomi on android.  I have iphone only.  But would you suggest this compared to the bitcoingold.org/electrumg site?  Thing is I want to claim all the forks from the old electrum seed.


Thing is I read with electrum sv, it might be complicated because it involves private keys and sweeping?  Or is it just as simple as electroncash with BCH a while back?
