Thanks. Still swipe the BTC into Electrum first or is it safe to redeem BTC, BCH and BCG into a single coinomi wallet?

I wouldn't trust them for my bitcoins even If no losses has been reported yet. It's not open source so It shouldn't be trusted that much. I suggest sending BTCs to Electrum first.

Thanks

You must find a compatible wallet and import your private keys there. I believe Breadwallet currently support SBTC, as for BCH and BTG, you have Coinomi.

Hi,

Need guidance on redeeming a Casascius coin for BTC and other forked coins.  This is what I understand:

1.   I can import the mini private key directly into my Electrum wallet using the import/sweep function.

2.   I then move the BTC to a new secure Electrum wallet so that the mini private key can be used to redeem the BCH, BCG and SBTC.

What is the best/safest way to redeem the other forked coins after redeeming and moving the BTC?

Thanks
