Be very careful, the https://www.excrypts.org/ appears to be a scam to steal your private keys. You can download the wallet from github if you go to releases: https://github.com/eveybcd/BitcoinDiamond/releases

I think this is legit! At least it allows me to import my private keys.

Can anyone confirm this port is legit, its not the official github... But it is the only one working

I think that all those which love making forks of bitcoin should at least make the effort to provide good, easy and safe tools to people to redeem their forked coins. I refuse to do whatever effort to get all those coins, and I believe everybody should do the same.

If someone reads this: I gave up on this crap. Extracting from segwit is beyond my knowledge.
I ended up using this service instead, they took 10% fee but I got my BCD in 24h at least!

I spent two days to figure this out but I think I know how to solve this, just currently stuck and need your help! I had btc stored on a nano s segwit wallet before the fork.

Bitcoin diamond was forked from bitcoin on block #495866 (nov 24 2017) and launched the mainnet Jan 5 2018 (I think). There is currently very little information about this project and very little support on exchanges, wallets and mining.
http://btcd.io

The only light wallet currently have a splitting tool is Bither for Android but they do not support Segwit. If you had your btc in a segwit wallet before the fork you can't use this method.

Otherwise follow this: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@tiberiu/how-i-claimed-sbtc-super-bitcoin-from-my-paper-wallet
Or this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/7oekie/guide_how_to_redeem_and_sell_all_bitcoin_fork/

You get 10 bcd for every btc and current price is 0.001 btc. That means you get $160/ forked btc which is 1% free money. Is it worth it? For me it is.
You can use same method for both SBTC and BCD. Other methods can be used for BTX, BCX and BFX but have to wait for me. Need segwit support in Coinomi and/or Bither.

In my BCD case it was a bit more complicated but hopefully possible.

Move btc from ledger nano to somewhere save
Download the BIP39 converter (standalone version). Unplug your internet and run the html: https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39
Enter your ledger 24 word mnemonic. Select BIP49 derivation path. Find your btc address that contained btc right before block 495866, copy private key. Use a block explorer: https://blockchain.info
Find the tx ID that sent those btc and verify in bcd explorer if you have any bcd before you continue (click on the actual address will not work for some reason, shows empty). My tx had 3000 confirmations. http://explorer.btcd.io
Now the complicated part =) You have to build bitcoin diamond core app from source because it doesn't exist yet: https://github.com/eveybcd/BitcoinDiamond
I built it for windows x64 using this guide (by cloning bitcoin diamond from github instead of bitcoin when you come to that step). Took 1h.: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md
Actually quite cool you can run Ubuntu on Windows 10! You can build for 32 bit as well but not when you have installed dependencies for x64. The last step will copy the binaries to your windows folder: "make install DESTDIR=/mnt/c/workspace/bitcoindiamond"
Run bitcoindiamond-qt in windows and let it sync with network. Took me 12h with fiber connection.
Go to help and open console. If your wallet is encrypted, decrypt for 10min using: "walletpassphrase your-wallet-passphrase 600".
Import old btc address as watch-only to check bcd balance. True means it will rescan the blockchain. Rescan took 1h with a decent PC (no SSD):
If you see your BCD balance, now Import your btc private key into the watch-only address. No need to rescan again, thus "false".:

Ok here is where I'm stuck. I can see my balance but it's not spendable. I also tried to import private key directly (with sync) with empty core wallet but balance is still zero. It does not pick up the transaction!
Anyone know how to solve this?

Rest of the guide when this is solved:

You should now be able to access your bcd!
Go to gate.io (register). Deposit bcd to exchange from bitcoindiamond-qt. Try small amount first, use a proper fee.
Do whatever you like! Sell or keep.
