I see the forked coins on the blockchain but is their some specific order I need to go through? I am entitled to BTG, BCH, BSV, BCHA and some other shit ones but do I need to go through an order to claim these?

To reduce the risk if you install a compromised wallet, you should start with the most valuable Forks. And don't forget the lack of replay protection, so get some Forkcoin dust to include in your transaction before moving your BCH/BSV/BCH-A.

Yes, this is very important. BCH/BSV lack repay protection, so you need to "split" your coins first.

I often share this guide from coinomi (a wallet which supports many bitcoin forks), which I think is pretty straight foward:

Quote
About replay protection:

There is no replay protection between the BCH (ABC) and the BSV chains. This means that, unless you properly "split" your coins, transactions you make with one of those coins will also be made on the other.

Sending unsplit BCH will result in the same amount of BSV being sent to the same address (and vice-versa). The receiving wallet may not be prepared to accept BSV into their address, so there is a possibility of loss of BSV coins. This is not an issue specific to Coinomi, as any other wallet you use is under the same risk.

How to split coins:

Splitting is only necessary if you had a positive BCH balance on November 15th 2018. If you received either BCH or BSV after that date, they are most likely already split.

Receive a new deposit into your BCH wallet of BCH that is already split. Any value will work, however small. The easiest way is to receive BCH from an exchange. If you are sweeping unsplit BCH/BSV from a paper wallet, you must still receive split BCH from somewhere else before moving to step 2.
After transaction from (1) is confirmed, open the BCH wallet and copy your current BCH "receive" address
On that same BCH wallet, go to the "send" section and send your full BCH balance to the address copied above.
Done. This should be enough for your coins to be split. This process only has to be done once. After your coins are split, they are split forever, and further deposits you receive will also most likely already be split.

Personally, I would claim only BCH, BSV and BTG. The other forks BTD, BTX, etc etc are worthless today and you will have a lot of trouble to trade those coins in exchanges, as their value is very low.

We already have a guide here on the forum on how to claim forked coins if you want then read the whole thread from this link below.

Just make sure before you claim your forked coins transfer your BTC first from another wallet just to be safe.

I never claimed any of my forked coins and have my old recovery seed still.  I see the forked coins on the blockchain but is their some specific order I need to go through? I am entitled to BTG, BCH, BSV, BCHA and some other shit ones but do I need to go through an order to claim these? Can I use ElectrumSV to separate BCH from BSV and then do BCHA? I see lots of articles on this but most articles are for people who have already done some splits and yet I have done none so where do I even begin?
