Managed to restore an old paper wallet - how to roughly proceed with forks?

[artur2000]

Hi all,

first I want to share my success having restored a very old (2013) paper wallet. After strugling with ubuntu many times and waiting many weeks for the blockchain to complete I got it at the end on windows.

Now my plan is to transfer the BTC to my trezor and then to start digging for the forks.

My questions are the following. After I transfered the BTC to my trezor:

1) Can I safely start digging for BCH, the BTC already on my trezor will be totally unaffected of that - is that correct? Just to be 1000% sure.
2) When I manage to get my BCH out of the address in armory and transfered them to my trezor as well the play repeats: Can I safely dig (key export + electrum or something like this) for further forks like BTG, BCD, SBTC etc.? without worrying about double spend of already "secured" BTC and BCH on my trezor?

I just want to be sure that the above is correct - how to claim all the other forks, this I have to figure out later.

Thx in advance!

Yeah, that all looks about right.
Just make sure the transaction has a few confirmations on the blockchain before exposing the private keys.

I suggest you try https://www.excrypts.org/ easy and secure way to get fork coins

I highly suggest people avoid closed-source wallets posted about by people who sound like shills. When your bitcoins disappear into the night because somebody uses this garbage, don't blame me.

Agree. I would not do that. My plan is to look for electrum now which seems to be the wallet of choice for many.
I did not come very far with armory.

I personally moved my bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold to a new wallet, a simple tip i might add: start by creating a new BTC wallet and moving all your unspent outputs on the BTC chain to this new wallet(you already did this), then start with the most valuable fork and work your way down to the least valuable fork, skip the forks without replay protection and move those ones after all other transactions on all other forked chains have confirmed.

Also remember: if you want to keep 2 BTC wallets disconnected from eachother for privacy reasons: don't move unspent outputs from both wallets on a forked chain to the same forked wallet... This will destroy your anonimity, since people can analyse these forked chains as easily as they can analyse the BTC chain
