Open your Electrum wallet and go into Settings and there is an option there to show addresses.

Depending what version you are using, it will show them in different categories like unused, change address, used addresses, etc.

From there only select the ones that either have a balance or had at least 1> transaction on it.

You can open the console (View -> Show console -> 'Console' Tab).

Then enter:

Code:

listunspent()

This will display all available 'coins' (unspent transaction outputs).


If you want to spen from a specific address go to the 'Address' tab click on the address you want to 'pay from' and click on spend from.

The above or:

'View' -> 'Show Coins' to see the unspent inputs;
'View' -> 'Show Addresses' to see the addresses (mainly the ones not empty)

I need to see which addresses contained coins 1 year ago at date x.

all coins from my wallet were moved already to a different address

my wallet balance is 0 now

Um? I think you don't even need Electrum to do this.Just copy the address you want to know how many coins where deposited to it and paste it in a blockchain explorer to find out the date of deposits and the amounts.

1) go to your console and get the list of all your addresses.

Code:

listaddresses()

2) go here: http://www.findmycoins.ninja/ and paste the list here and separate them with a new line and remove any extra symbol that it might have (like " or ,) and click search
3) now from the results choose the ones that contain some fork_coin and copy the single address.
4) go back to electrum and get the private key of that address

Code:

getprivatekeys('Your_Address_here')

enter your password if you have one and you will see your private key.
5) copy it and use it in any fork_coin wallet that you want and claim your reward.

it is best not to use this wallet anymore. move to a NEW wallet (not just a new address from the same wallet) create a new seed.

I would like to clear one thing: Electrum isn't hodling your bitcoins, it holds the private keys to control the bitcoins (inputs) that technically belongs to you.
Bitcoins are recorded (stored) in the Blockchain.

Yes, you are. But it will troublesome for him to copy-paste->enter each of the addresses.

The easier way is to open it using Electrum (it's too easy to download and install/open)
Display the address tab and find the addresses with balance, those are the addresses that should be checked on blockexplorer site.
Or use pooyah's link.

Display the address tab and find the addresses with balance, those are the addresses that should be checked on blockexplorer sites.

Only if those addresses have not been touched since before <insert fork date here>

If the OP has been sending/receiving transactions since the forks, it is very likely that coins are currently contained in change addresses or receive addresses that are different from the ones in use prior to the forks. So, looking at the current balance of a given address is likely to be inaccurate.

Even the OP seems to realise this:

I need to see which addresses contained coins 1 year ago at date x.
all coins from my wallet were moved already to a different address
my wallet balance is 0 now

Given all the BTC has already moved... a mass export/import of private keys poses no real security risk to their current holdings. Using the "electrum" forks of the larger forks is probably the easiest way to get their coins out.

Simply make several copies of the Electrum "default_wallet" (or whatever wallet file you've been using) and open it using the appropriate fork wallet. Your "fork coins" will magically appear!

For fork coins without an electrum fork... you'll need to dump the private keys from Electrum and load them into a fork coin wallet.

Using the "electrum" forks of the larger forks is probably the easiest way to get their coins out.

to claim fork coins one can also use Coinomi since they are supporting a wide variety of these new coins which may not have Electrum fork, and it is all in one application. it is easy and there is also a good article on their support pages here which makes the process easier: https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000016813-claiming-your-forked-coins
