For posterity's sake, I figured I'd checking and post the resolution.

First, since BSV is a fork of BCH, which was a fork of BTC, BTC addresses/keys are indeed valid in the BSV blockchain if they were generated prior to the BCH fork.

After much trial and error with multiple clients, the simplest way I found to get the forked coins was to import the compressed WIF key from the original BTC wallet into AtomicWallet v1.39.1 (which still supports importing keys). I had originally attempted to import the uncompressed keys, but Atomic always reported that there wasn't enough to cover network fees, so I just assumed it wouldn't work. When I later tried the compressed key, the coins showed up right away.

I ended up exchanging the BSV for BTC in Atomic. It was probably not the best exchange rate, but based on the going BSV rate, I wasn't going to go through any additional goat rope for a few pennies.

There are other ways of doing it, but all of them were more involved. As a guy that's been into Bitcoin as long as I have, I'm sure there are thousands upon thousands of BCH and BSV coins that will be forever unclaimed.

Hi guys,

Long-time BTC user and miner (5x Radeon rig -> BFL Bitforce -> BFL ASIC 60 -> Cointerra TerraMiner IV) here. I dabbled in LTC when it first came out, but have largely ignored the other coins. I'm finally getting around to separating the hard-fork BCH and BSV.

After no small amount of boondogglery, I was able to get my BCH from the Bitcoin-ABC client by importing my original BTC private keys. I've since transferred all of it to a new wallet since the imported-keys-wallet would require a rescan on every launch.

However, I can't seem to figure out how to get my BSV. I tried importing my original BTC private keys into the ElectrumSV, but it's showing a zero balance.

I've tried the Atomic Wallet, but it apparently doesn't support importing private keys. I'm assuming I should be importing the original BTC wallet keys.

Any pointers would be appreciated. I must be making this harder than it is, because it shouldn't be this hard.

(Just found out about BTG, but doubt it's worth my time for $22.)

Thanks.

Don't worry - I won't.

In this case, I never received notice that BTC Guild was shutting down. (And yes, I double-checked my email/spam.) Otherwise, I would have pulled the funds immediately.

I'd like to publicly thank eleuthria for not only running one of the greatest BTC pools ever, but also for personally taking care of my withdrawal in a timely fashion.

After the recent bump in the BTC exchange rate, I went to log into BTC Guild where I knew I had a few coins stashed. I read the closure notice, much to my dismay. To further my dismay, my account was deactivated.

After reaching out to eleuthria, he reactivated my account and manually approved the transfer.

Thanks for your professionalism and integrity, eleuthria!

I, too, have egg on my face for not paying closer attention.

My 3-GPU worker is showing difficulty 128 on notroll, while my single-GPUs are showing 32. The 3x worker has less than two times the shares of the single GPU.

That tears it. I'm starting my own pool. I spent the time to get stratum-server working with scrypt, I might as well fire it up.

If anyone wants in, PM me. I can't promise we will never have problems, but I can promise to be honest, fair and transparent with my members. Oh, and my reward system will be better than 0% PPS.

Sorry for the semi-thread-hijack, but I'm sure others are feeling as frustrated as I am, and are looking for alternatives.

Hi Luke,

I just cobbled together a new miner and I'm getting the following errors constantly:

While the GPU's obviously working on something, it's not generating any (useful) hashes. I'm running bfgminer 2.10.5 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Precise Pangolin with a single Radeon 6950.

fglrxinfo reports:

...and I'm using APPSDK v2.8.

Is this an actual hardware error, or a driver/SDK issue? The FAQ recommends SDK v2.4. Will 2.4 work with the latest drivers?

Thanks.

I fail to see your analogy.

While it's entirely possible that Avalon not interested in profit at all, and that he's selling his ASIC product at or below cost, it doesn't seem that way.

If he's selling for a profit, then he is expecting to make at least *some* money on his endeavor. As gapthemind pointed out, he could make more money by running the miners himself than by selling them.

That said, there are a couple of factors involved. If he turns on all 300 of his batch, how would that affect difficulty? How many of his potential customers would drop out of the market because the profits have lowered? How long would it take for him to recoup his initial investment, as opposed to selling them outright?

BitCoin police??

I just *knew* they'd set up some agency to police BitCoin. Everyone said I was just being paranoid, but now the joke's on them!

A couple of posts after this and this whitelist request may not matter, but I'd just as soon not spam the newbie board - even if that is what it's for.

I've been mining since 6/2011. I currently have 6 GPUs and 2 BFL Singles and run bfgminer.

Same here. I vaguely recall being able to post in the past, but maybe it was just my imagination.

Doo de doo. Wondered why I couldn't reply to other threads. D'oh!
