Title: About claiming BCD Fork
Post by: bitmover on November 04, 2018, 07:50:05 PM
I was trying to claim BCD (Bitcoin Diamond) fork. https://btcd.io/

It's an old bitcoin wallet, without any funds now, just some worthless forks...

But I couldn't find any reasonable wallet, which would allow to redeem funds using a private key. Only Bitpie, which said that my balance is too low to pay miners fee (which is not).

Have any of you guys able to claim this fork? Which wallet did you use?

You could use bitcoin fork claimer (https://github.com/ymgve/bitcoin_fork_claimer). Unless you know what you're doing, I don't recommend using it because It's technical to a certain level.

Alternatively, you could always use dig.walleting.services (https://dig.walleting.services/#/) but they'll take 10% as a fee for the amount you have.

I liked this second alternative. Have you ever used it?

But I need the forked coin wallet for that, right? I will not receive bitcoin, but the forked coin.

BTCD.io has a list of wallets that support BitcoinDiamond. I've never heard about most of them except for Atomic wallet, Bitpie, and Mobi. If you're not comfortable storing your funds in closed source wallets, you could use a reputable exchange instead but a personal wallet is always a better solution.

As for the service, I gave you, it's very reputable so If you're fine with the fees they're taking, I highly suggest it. You could also check their bitcointalk thread to see what people think about it.

There is no way to recover fork through exchanges wallets. I just wanted to claim the fork and sell it for btc at the same time...

Thanks for your suggestions. As you said, all those wallets at shitty wallets...

I totally understand what you're trying to achieve, so once again, here are the steps:

You find whatever exchange you want to use (say Binance), take the deposit address for BCD in your account and simply use it in dig.walleting.services (you give them your BTC private key) and they'll retrieve the forked coin and send you the BCD to an address of your choice, in this case, Binance's deposit address.
