LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service)

[Raimonn]

Someone asked me about forks with SegWit addresses, and I have no idea how to answer that.
A quote (I'll leave out the username for privacy) from the PM:

Most recently the issue I have is when I input a private key from an address holding a small amount of fork coins into Bither the public address is not the segwit address listed from Iancoleman tool extract or the address listed in the Nano S and no balance is shown.

Has anyone tried this?

Its not possible to get forked coins importing segwit addresses private keys on Bither, because Bither wallet don't support segwit addresses yet. He/She can try on Coinomi wallet, but Coinomi has less forks.

Can you confirm this works on Coinomi for Bitcoin Gold and BitCore? Someone else asked me about that for SegWit-addresses (starting with a 3). I don't have any old funded SegWit private key to test it by myself.

No, but i can confirm that i used Coinomi to extract Bitcoin Atom from segwit addresses.

Help me update this list
Please help me to keep this thread (and the table above) up-to-date: If a legit wallet and exchange are available for an unlisted fork, please post it and I'll add it to the list.
I'll only list Forkcoins with at least a working wallet.

You can also add:

• BitCoinAtom (BCA), 1:1
• SmartCash (SMART), 1:100

Both of them were announced on YoBit.net at the end of Jan 2018. If you had BTC on YoBit at that time, you already received them like I did.

Receiving them on an exchange isn't enough to add them here. I need to be able to deposit to add them to my list. Bitcoin Atom has $6,122 trading volume (24h), so I don't think it can be deposited.
SmartCash as $101,420 trading volume, but nothing at Yobit.

Can't you just use the private keys and claim them? I see both of them have working wallets.

I may be missing something, but what do you mean by "to be able to deposit to add them to my list" and how is this impacted by the trading volumes?

I also need a reliable exchange to deposit them to.

Usually the trading volume is quite low when exchanges don't accept deposits. If it can't be withdrawn, it's like they're only trading their own "local coin".

I don't know how so many people missed BitcoinX (BCX). You should definitely add it to the list: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoinx/. The ratio is 10 000:1, which makes the price an effective $135 per Bitcoin owned right now. The people who managed to *redeem* and sell this early on managed to score $350-400 per Bitcoin. It was also rather trivial to do if you have a place to sync their Core fork.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough VM-space to sync their blockchain, so I can't test it.

As a temporary, one time work around: You could collect keys that need to be used. Import all of them. Sync a pruned BitcoinX node. Obviously, this is very inefficient but in certain cases it will work out (e.g. if you only want to dump your own BitcoinX).

Well, I made some space to sync a BitcoinX wallet. And the result was disappointing: most exchanges have the deposit of BCX "Suspended", I've found only one place I can sell - aex - but the price is unreasonably low there.
Maybe this'll help anybody waste time and space

@allahabadi: have you tried depositing those Forkcoins?

@allahabadi: have you tried depositing those Forkcoins?

I have been trying to get rid off my shit-forks for a long time now and  even though most of the coins are listed on a few exchanges but there is no way we can dump those coins as the exchanges aren't accepting deposits. [Bitcoin God isn't accepted either]

@LoyceV- I didn't bother reading the thread but I'll certainly need your help to get rid off my shit-coin forks.I don't have the patience to do all wallet install procedures myself so I'll ask you to do it for me of course for a commission.

I can, if they're not SegWit. But keep in mind the prices in the OP are long gone, it's much, much lower now.

Has anybody claimed Bitcoin Diamond?
Am I right in saying Binance are offering 0.002556 per Bitcoin Diamond? You get 10 BCD per Bitcoin so if person X had 50 bitcoin's at the time of the fork that’d equate to 500 BCD which would be 1.278 bitcoin’s on Binance’s platform?

I think Binance doesn't accept deposits, so they're living their own bubble. 0.00037 Bitcoin per BCD at Gate.io is a more realistic value.

I just noticed Bitpie has delisted all shitforks from their in wallet exchange.

Do you have other avenues for disposing of what was listed on there like Bitcoinpay and a few others?

I've been regretting not selling all of my Forkcoins for quite a while now, but unfortunately I don't know other routes to sell those crap coins.

[LoyceV]

any new forks coming in the future ? any info about that ?

Even though all forks keep dropping almost continuously (don't believe the prices in the OP anymore!), a bump

Unfortunately almost all forks are worth so low now that they are not even worth the work and risk claiming them(unless you have high amounts of BTC)... I recovered only a few of them..

When claiming forks the most important is doing it fast, in the first weeks. As Lauda mentioned earlier in this thread, it was possible to earn like 400 USD per BTC just with bcx. Now it is barely worth 10 usd.

 forks are very important in a investor perspective, as you can easily increase 10-20% your BTC holdings every year with them, if you act fast enough.

I miss more discussion related to them in this forum.
