I have claimed BCH, BTG & BTX. Just tried to claim Bitcoin Diamond via Bither but it says balance 0.00. Presume the last time I moved my stash coins was before the BTCD fork. Think I’ve got a lot of money to claim in forks post BTG. I wasn’t going to bother because I don’t like getting coins out of cold storage. Looks like I’m going to have to.

Edit - By the way that Ninja Find Coins service is fucking awesome

From another thread:
Updated to add an awesome new website I found to check for forked coins- http://www.findmycoins.ninja/
I've added this link to the OP. It's the most complete Fork Checker I've seen so far.

Wallet Bitpie has a build in exchange. I have successfully used it to convert Forkcoins into Bitcoins. It takes 0.3mBTC fee to withdraw back to your wallet, after that you can use the minimum fee of 0.1mBTC to send it out of Bitpie.
Just like any exchange that accepts deposits, the exchange rates are much lower than the average on CMC.

Have you considered adding CLAMS to the list? While not really a fork of bitcoin, every bitcoin address above a certain (very small) balance in May 2014 received a fixed amount of CLAMS in an airdrop
The CLAM airdrop happened before I was into crypto. I can't speak from personal experience, so I won't add it to the OP.
I'll add this here though:
Every person who had Bitcoin at block 300,377, Litecoin at block 565,693, or Dogecoin at block 218,556 was given ~4.6 CLAM.  
Yes, it is still waiting on chain for you Smiley
This is currently worth $28 per address which held more than just dust.

Quote
(like BTX, but there wasn't some form to claim it, the airdrop was entirely on-chain and all the outputs exist already)
BitCore (BTX) used airdrop after entering a signed message into a form, but that ended. Their current airdrop dropped to existing Bitcoin addresses with a balance of 0.01BTC or more. So it's kinda like what CLAMs did, although it depends on your balance instead of a fixed amount per address.

Quote
The amount is worthwhile and a few of my friends were surprised to find they had hundreds of dollars hiding in their old wallets when I told them about it, so it may be a useful addition to this list even though it's ancient.
That's always a nice surprise! Remember: satoshi recommended never to delete a wallet.

SuperBitcoin can be traded at Hitbtc and yobit and a few more shit exchanges.
I still haven't tried gate.io (because of the many scam-reports). I'd like to use yobit or HitBTC, but I can't deposit:

Please note that deposits are temporarily unavailable due to technical maintenance. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
That explains why their trading volume is so low.

I don't know how so many people missed BitcoinX (BCX). You should definitely add it to the list: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoinx/. The ratio is 10 000:1, which makes the price an effective $135 per Bitcoin owned right now. The people who managed to *redeem* and sell this early on managed to score $350-400 per Bitcoin. It was also rather trivial to do if you have a place to sync their Core fork.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough VM-space to sync their blockchain, so I can't test it.
As a temporary, one time work around: You could collect keys that need to be used. Import all of them. Sync a pruned BitcoinX node. Obviously, this is very inefficient but in certain cases it will work out (e.g. if you only want to dump your own BitcoinX).
Quote
Diamond, Super and BitcoinX can be deposited on Gate.io the last time I checked (it might have changed recently though), so you might want to add a link to that.
I didn't test Gate.io after reading many scam accusations. Have you been able to successfully use it?
For those three forks, it worked out without issues. I have not used them for anything else however.

@hugeblack, love Exodus, it's my favorite desktop wallet but I would not recommend to exchange larger amounts with their exchange feature because their exchange rates are pretty bad, I think they are taking a cut there.

I wonder how you've forgotten the wallet giant "exodus wallet"
I don't intend to give a complete list of all possible wallets. I've never used Exodus by myself, so I don't list it.
If it works for you, by all means, keep using it.

I'll be bothering you again soon if I stumble upon anything I need your help with, or if I can use your service to our mutual benefit, for now I continue the search because .01 and .02 probably isn't worth your time.
If it includes Bitcoin Cash, you're talking about hundreds of dollars per address, so it'll be worth your time for sure Smiley

Most Forkcoins have dropped just like the rest of crypto recently, but Bitcoin Diamond went up 250% today! I still don't know a trusted exchange though, and the price varies from $7.44 at Gate to $148.73 at Kucoin. That means there's no arbitrage trading possible, the range is just rediculous.

I can help you get started Smiley

As far as I know, there is no easy way to take such a snapshot in Bitcoin Core. It can export all addresses you ever used: type listaddressgroupings in Console for the list.

An easy way to get an estimate is if you can remember your approximate balance on August 1, 2017 (the fork date for Bitcoin Cash) and other major fork dates that happened after this. Each Bitcoin you had is worth around $1500 in Bitcoin Cash, plus more in other forks. This should quickly tell you whether or not it's worth the effort.

Wow.

That single command is extremely helpful, I was having a tough time keeping track of all the extra addresses that core seems to create with every single transaction. I probably should take the time to read through the rest of the core commands, because up until recently I didn't even know how to acquire the private key for my address through core. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and helping me figure out how worthwhile it is to dig through my addresses and try to claim forks. It seems like I have a few addresses that had .01 here .02 there, but an extra few bucks is an extra few bucks. I'm going to see if I have old wallet files laying around, might get lucky.

Looks like a pretty cool service, and thank you very much for all of the valuable info. Can I just send you a dump of all my used BTC addresses, can you scan for forked tokens, tell me which addresses have said tokens, and I send over the priv keys? I'd happily give you 5-10% of the value for your service.
(we've discussed this in PM)

General answer: Depending on how many different addresses you have, this can be quite a lot of work. Doing this manually means having to look up the balance for each address at the moment of each fork. For addresses with many transactions it's even more work to find back historic balances on a block explorer.
I don't mind looking into the occasional Bitcoin address, but if it's a long list of addresses with low balance, you'll have to do this on your own.

That list hasn't been updated in a month. I checked some of the websites, and they do offer wallets, but I haven't tested them yet.



I think I have many addresses that have claimable fork coins, but it does seem like a lot of work and I am terrible at tracking down change addresses. I use Core, which seems to generate many many change addresses and so I'm wondering if you would be willing to help me dig through my wallets to discover what stash is lying in wait.

Their main chain isn't launched yet.

That's only a list of upcoming/past bitcoin hard forks.

Thanks LoyceV for this great guide on how are we going to claim those free coins out there.

Also good luck to your service.

Thank you OP for this helpful and informative thread. I have already got my Bitcoin Cash by following a tutorial I found here in this forum. It was successful, I use a windows app wallet for exporting my bitcoin wallet address and its private keys. I just forget the name of the app but I will try to edit this post as I open my laptop.

I am positive I have a few addresses that were around for the BCH fork, which also seems to be the most profitable fork from what I can tell. Is there any easy way to keep track of Core's Change addresses or to easily take a snapshot of a particular date in time for your wallets for quick checking?

While I'm interested in the service, I do not want to waste either of our time and would like to do what I can to figure out where I'm at without completely doing everything for myself, since it sounds dreadful.

We are already having similar list here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hard-forks-updated-list-of-bitcoin-splits-2591813

Still, you are coming up with lots of other useful related information. Like your byteball claiming services, this also very well composed. Hope your service will be loved by this community. I have already bookmarked. Good luck !
