Hello everyone! Trying to do a little list of the bitcoin fork that between all are worth claiming. Hope you find this 3d useful.
I was having a look to
this list of all Bitcoin forks .... man if they are a lot
-- What do you really need to know? --Well, first of all, many of them are pointless:D
Anyway, if at the moment of the fork (the relative block) you own the private key of an address containing BTC, you can use it to claim the new forked coins.
What you need to do:- Verify you own the private key of the BTC address (wallet address, not an exchange!)
- (Wait for the fork)
*(all mentioned forks below already happened)- Move your BTC to a new address
- Import the private key (now BTC empty) on a wallet that support the new forked coin to claim it.
- CLAIM -This detailed HostFat's guide on Bitcoin Cash claim can be used as main reference for all forks, mainly because the suggested method/wallet (
Coinomi) as for today supports all the main fork i think are worth claiming
In fact,
the only forks that today are worth it claiming are:-
BCH - Bitcoin Cash http://bitcoincash.orgForked at Block 478559, 1 August 2017, 1BTC:1BCH (

Also BTG can be claimed on
Coinomi, or alternatively you can use
Exodus as reported on official btg site.
Who owns Ledger Nano S

BCD link coinmarketcap)
(the fork on which i found less info).
Not supported on Coinomi; looking at wallets suggested on their site, the preferable seems to be
Bitpie On this page you can find how to add an asset on Bitpie and on
this other page how to import your private key to claim forks.
- BTCP - Bitcoin Private https://btcprivate.org Forked at Block 511346, 10 March 2018, 1BTC:1BTCP
(+ Block 272991 Fork ZCL) (
BTCP link coinmarketcap)
Bitcoin Private is also supported on
Coinomi.
Alternatively you can use
Electrum wallet or the
Full-Node desktop walletSpecial mention
- BTX - Bitcore https://bitcore.cc/Not literally a fork; they developed their own blockchain starting from BTC snapshot at block #492820, 2 November 2017 (
BTX link coinmarketcap)
Also Bitcore is today supported on
Coinomi.
All details on BTX can be found on their ANN 3d
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1883902.0- CLAM - Clams https://www.clamcoin.org/"First airdrop to BTC holder".
Snapshot on May 12 2014, chain BTC, LTC, DOGE (Bitcoin block #300377, Litecoin block #565693, Dogecoin block #218556)
Ratio 1BTC/LTC/DOGE address:4,6CLAM (
CLAM link coinmarketcap)
This is the official guide on how to claim back in the days with Clams official wallet, but is worth mentioning nowadays also Clams is supported by
CoinomiProbably for most people this is a foregone selection, but still, everyone agrees these are the only btc fork worth spending some effort for claiming? Anybody claimed others?
Any particular experience to share? (mainly about BCD, found really few info on that)
