Hi, all when I just checked on the net I saw that btc silver has been forked and it's available to trade. Now I wish to know can we claim this coin using private key? If yes which is it wallet and how do we do it? I am not claiming it now, the same way I doing with gold, once there is clarity it's safe then l'll. Need to know can we or can we not cliam this coins using our private key? Also which other forks are on their way? So will claim all together next year. Thanks in advance for the information.
I don't know anything about that particular coin, but generally you need three things to be able to claim new coin and do it safely:
1. that a replay protection is enabled in a forked coin (BTC Silver in your case)
2. that you send your bitcoins safely away to some new wallet fully controlled by you before you start messing with a new forked coin
3. that the devs prepared a fork of a bitcoin core full node. Use that fork as a btc silver full node, replace the wallet .dat with the wallet.dat you had for bitcoin AFTER you send all your bitcoins to some new address.
In the past, there have been reports from people that the new software (even listed on official forked coin page) was a malware and stealed BOTH the new coin and BTC that was in the wallet. So follow the steps I have listed above to be on the safe side.
Good luck!
