Each day I wake up and there's a possibility of a new fork in Bitcoins, initially it all seemed fun you get new coins but now it's a pain to keep track of forks. First Bcc happened, then Bitcoin gold. Now there is news coming of a silver and platinum fork, just the other day Liza was supposed to come and segwit2x is already waiting in the wings. How does one keep a track of this forks and are there any other ones may have missed, this effects btc prices a lot, anyway to keep a track of them.

I recently noticed that a wiki page (the one that you can routinely google) is well updated with recent fork info. I guess, it is in the best interest of fork devs to update it so they do it and we all can benefit

Hi, all when I just checked on the net I saw that btc silver has been forked and it's available to trade. Now I wish to know can we claim this coin using private key? If yes which is it wallet and how do we do it? I am not claiming it now, the same way I doing with gold, once there is clarity it's safe then l'll. Need to know can we or can we not cliam this coins using our private key? Also which other forks are on their way? So will claim all together next year. Thanks in advance for the information.

your best choice (which also happens to be very risky since exchanges are not to be trusted like this) is to leave your bitcoin on exchanges to get the new coins and sell them on sight. because in order to claim (for example this one that you are asking) you must move your bitcoins first. and with current network state which has a very high fee, it is not financial sane to do this! and even if you do, you may not get as much as you are paying for fees since the price of most of these new coins are so small.

I don't know anything about that particular coin, but generally you need three things to be able to claim new coin and do it safely:
1. that a replay protection is enabled in a forked coin (BTC Silver in your case)
2. that you send your bitcoins safely away to some new wallet fully controlled by you before you start messing with a new forked coin
3. that the devs prepared a fork of a bitcoin core full node. Use that fork as a btc silver full node, replace the wallet .dat with the wallet.dat you had for bitcoin AFTER you send all your bitcoins to some new address.

In the past, there have been reports from people that the new software (even listed on official forked coin page) was a malware and stealed BOTH the new coin and BTC that was in the wallet. So follow the steps I have listed above to be on the safe side.

Good luck!

Forks of bitcoin is only try to gain fast money in short time .

Most of real project start using them names not using others name .

all this make many forks only Scam coins and it is so risky to invest in it .

Just keep your eyes peeled for news. If no one talks about a particular fork, that means it is worthless. You will for sure hear about forks that matter, like BCH and segwit2x.
