Need to transfer my btcp before they get burned

[vita-b12]

Hello,

I have still left some BTCP that i rapidly need to transfer to another wallet before they get burned as the admin at the BTCP Twitter Account said.

The situation is as follows:

I have the seed and all the coins were stored on a Electrum wallet. Now i logged in to the Electrum wallet and used the private key to restore all BTCP. After syncing i got all the BTCP shown as it should be. The problem is that I can not transfer them to the other wallet. It is pending all the time long saying "please wait ... signing transaction".

Im waiting for over 1h and nothing happens. Tried it at an other computer and same problem.

Is there a fast alternative of how to restore it and send it to an other wallet?

Please help me, time is running... coins will get burned at 16 Feb 2019

edit: after around 2h I got an "error: Server did not answer"

You'll need to talk to the devs of the "BTCP Electrum" fork... as this is the BTC Electrum support board.

You can try asking on the BTCPrivate github here: https://github.com/BTCPrivate/electrum-btcp/issues but it looks like the project is fairly dead...

I suspect your problem is that there are no BTCPrivate Electrum servers running... or the ones that are, are woefully out of date/unsynced...

Your other option would be to export your private keys and import them into another BTCP wallet: https://btcprivate.org/wallets

I'm asking this out of curiosity, but how can he burn the coins on your wallet? By burning, what I understand is coin get moved to some address so it requires ownership or something like that.

But BTCP is no longer maintained imo, does it even worth to try moving your coins?

I’ve found this: https://medium.com/@bitcoinprivate/coinburn-and-the-new-dev-path-forward-77319b27eebe

It’s basically a hard fork.

Now, if you haven’t made a transaction since gaining your BTCP from the 1:1 snapshot that occurred on Feb. 28, 2018, please do it ASAP and certainly before block 480,000 (sometime on Feb 16th/17th, 2019 depending on your timezone). If you don’t do it by then, your BTCP will become unspendable as they will have been burned away. If you’re unsure if you moved it or not, please send it to a new address. If you bought BTCP on an exchange and kept it there you don’t need to do anything. But if the BTCPs you’re keeping on an exchange were not bought but credited to your account by your exchange for holding a BTC and/or ZCL during the snapshot on Feb. 28, 2018, you need to move those BTCPs to a different wallet address if they have not been moved at least once before.

Yes it's basically a headache moving the coins. I don't want to sync the entire blockchain because it's a hassle for a coin which holds so little value and at the same time I don't want to import my priv key into a wallet that I don't trust since there are more valuable coins which forked at around the same time like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, etc.

Anyone know of a way to do it offline in a cold storage way and not need to sync the entire chain on the online computer? I heard there was some Linux script where you can create raw transactions and just need to broadcast them later? Anyone tried that before.

Debating if it's still worth the hassle, maybe after the coin burn the value will sky rocket. I am pretty sure 95% won't get moved.

Oh, right!
Speaking of offline transaction, it's possible since it's an Electrum fork, OP can just [1] create a transaction, [2] sign it, [3] then copy the signed raw transaction hex.
[4] Last thing he have to do is to paste it on any BitcoinPrivate Tx Broadcaster sites likie this: explorer.btcprivate.org.

Shame we never thought about that.

Most likely I won't have enough time to do this due to the time constraint but for anybody else who is interested there is a tool on Github called "Bitcoin fork claimer" by ymgve which should do the job. It's a bit technical oriented but it's a better alternative than using the actual forked Bitcoin wallet software.

Wish they provided a different method of claiming the coins such as signing a message or such. Would of been less of a headache.

Doubtfully it work since most forked coins implemented replay-protection and will make BTC transaction invalid, unless the forked Electrum wallet can fix replay-protection (changing it's SIGHASH to be precise) problem.

Read the OP, vita-b12 is using BTCP Electrum wallet and the signed Raw Tx that he will create is for Bitcoin Private chain, he just can't broadcast it due to the lack of working servers. This method will definitely work.
Replay Attack will only happen if he's using BTC Electrum and broadcast it to online BTCP broadcasters.

By the way, he never replied anyways so this might be answered already in another forums or by himself.
Or he just realized that moving them isn't gonna save his coins from being burned
