Title: Will there be more bitcoin forks on the nano ledger??
Post by: simongoat on April 23, 2018, 01:52:45 PM
I've just seen the ledger now supports BTCP https://support.ledgerwallet.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003294734-How-to-install-and-use-Bitcoin-Private-BTCP- (probably the most worthwhile out of all the forks that happened a few months ago). It would be great if the teams on the other forks would add ledger support because I have not been able to claim forks like bitcoin diamond/united/super etc because I had a segwit address and just couldn't work out how to do it, even though I spent a week on reddit asking and looking for answers. The only solution I've found is to use a wallet service that will claim the coins for me for 10% and I don't really want to do that.

Or if anyone was able to claim their btc forks using a ledger segwit address please tell me how you did, cos I tried everything.

Unless the forks are open source and fully transparent, Ledger nano S/Trezor won't add them.

There is no easy way to extract forks as far as I know. If you're not willing to use that service for security purposes, you could always move your funds elsewhere, use the seed on their site, generate a new wallet/seed and send your funds back to your Ledger.

Thanks but I wasn't able to get a private key from my seed that was claimable. Was a right nightmare.
