Do anyone have a list of coins that can be extracted from a Bitcoin Address that had coins prior to the forks? (Bitcoin Cash period) and a list of trustworthy wallet providers for these Alt coins?

I recently did a sweep on some of my paper wallets and I want to extract all the available coins that I can from these wallets, before I get rid of them.

It is a pity that someone has not created a service to do this for people. (They can charge a fee for their service for the people who are too lazy to do all that work)  ::)

I reckon most people has already forgotten about these coins and they just destroyed the wallets. (I hope not)

LoyceV wrote a helpful guide on how to safely claim fork coins. The topic contain a list of most known forkcoins.
Here is the link:

Some multicurrency wallets such as  Coinomi (https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000016813-claiming-your-forked-coins) will let you claim most of your forkcoins and there are some paid services too but the latter is not recommended as you'll have to trust them with your private keys.

This is also a site I've searched up addresses on in the past which might be useful: http://www.findmycoins.ninja/

I don't know if it has the more recent forks but it has stuff around the bcash time. Also remember that for some odd reason bcash split into bsv and the abc one...

Just transfer/sweep the coin you have on that private keys to other wallet as a backup so that you will not risk your funds when extracting fork coin to unknown/paid service.

You can find a few more missing forks from the following lists:
^{Take note: I haven't checked their accuracy yet.}

• Full List of Bitcoin Forks (https://www.forks.net/list/Bitcoin//1/2017-01-01/2020-01-01)
• My list of 43(+3) reviewed Bitcoin forks (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2777849.0)

Apart from LoyceV, walleting.services used to offer such services but perhaps due to lack of demand, he/she decided to stop it:
^{- [Walleting.Services] AUTOMATIC Bitcoin Fork Claiming: BTG BCD BCX BTCP BIFI MBC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2434261.0)}

I think this script (https://github.com/ymgve/bitcoin_fork_claimer (https://github.com/ymgve/bitcoin_fork_claimer)) is what you're looking for, it support various altcoin, but it uses Python 2.7 (which reached EOL/end of life) and only have CLI/terminal option.

Electrum fork for these altcoin is an alternative, but you need to verify the source code or trust the developer.


Or they don't care because they don't have much Bitcoin or the value of the altcoin is too small for them. There's also privacy concern from sending to same address (exchange in this case) or make single transaction with all your addresses.

Apps like Coinomi, Magnum, Exodus give you a list of many popular hardfoks, so unless you want to chase a few cents, these apps will be useful for you.
http://www.findmycoins.ninja/ is not accurate as you cannot find all the hardforks like the coins you would get from BCH fork.
Most of them are useless and not worth searching, so use the above apps and stay away from the risk.
