Topic: Looking for BTC fork claim service (Read 110 times)

Due to the lack of replay protection in some Forks, that may or may not send coins on the other chains too. You'll need some split Fork dust to ensure replay protection.

These are the Forks I deem worth it:
(currently worth around $1000+ per old Bitcoin owned at Fork date in total)

I believe you're referring to walleting.services: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/walletingservices-automatic-bitcoin-fork-claiming-btg-bcd-bcx-btcp-bifi-mbc-2434261

Which is no longer functional. Valuable forks should be supported by multicoin wallets like Coinomi anyway. You can simply install the wallet and sweep the private keys yourself.

I have a thread for this on the Services board. Most Forks aren't worth it, I only extract the good ones.

Talk to LoyceV if you're interested.

I believe that some years ago i've seen a link to some centralized service that offered to claim all btc forks at once and it seemed more or less legit.

I'm just checking if there a chance to claim them at once to a single exchange account and exchange all forks to another coin. The problem is that I not a BTC billioneare and these forks probably aint worth shit so most likely I would just spend all claimed coins for fees.
Ofc I am going to empty my wallet before using my keys in centralized service. So if it exists, my transactions should be safe.

Thanks for a link btw, gonna try it

In order for that to work, you'd have to export the private key for all addresses that are currently funded and import them into the exchange (or give them your seed phrase)... That would be the only way an exchange could ever provide such a service. Same goes for any other service that would help you claim those forks automatically: the only way they can provide this service is if you give them access to your private key(s) or seed phrase. Theoretically, they could also work with an address or an xpub, but then you'd have to sign a bunch of transactions manually, which might turn out to be even harder than just claiming the forks yourself straight away.

The main question would be why you don't claim those forked coins yourself? I mean, i'd never give access to my private keys to anybody else... Especially not to claim a handfull of crapcoins that have allmost no value. Just make sure you move all your BTC to a new address before you attempt claiming forks, then work your way from the most stable and valuable forks to the least stable coins... That way, there isn't that much that can happen... Just make sure your BTC is safe, that's the important part.

I once wrote a script to help you determine if you had funds on forked chains and what their value might have been... But it's not maintained and it probably no longer works unless somebody is willing to invest some time in it:

Hey there!

I remember that I've seen a service that could claim all my BTC forks.

can anyone share a link to such service? Could be nice if some exchange is providing such services so I could save on fees.

Thanks in advance
