Title: How to claim new coins after the fork (for Bitcoin Private)
Post by: clover12 on June 21, 2018, 09:56:56 PM
Newbie here asking for guidance on the fork process.
 
My BTC has been sitting in a cold wallet since before the snapshot occurred for Bitcoin Private (during Feb 2018)
 
Questions:
* When can I claim my free coin from this fork?
* Also, How do I claim this?
* Is BTCP going to be an important/major coin?

* When can I claim my free coin from this fork?
You can claim it now if you want to and trade it on any exchange listed here (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-private/#markets).
* Also, How do I claim this?
You can claim it by transferring your bitcoins or zcl(if you will use zclassic's private key) first to another wallet. After that find any wallet that will suit your need here (https://btcprivate.org/) and install the wallet that you have picked and install it. After installing, import your private key. You can also follow this guide (https://support.btcprivate.org/844637-Bitcoin-Private-Full-Node-Wallet---How-to-importsweep-Private-Key) for a seamless private key import.

Not a bad idea to move your Bitcoin out to new address before you start claiming the fork.

Pretty much export your BTC private key then download the btcp wallet then import the BTC private key.
