Can I still claim my Bitcoin SV if I never claimed my Bitcoin Cash?

[cutesgirl]

I think all coin hard fork is automatically received in your wallet depend which one exchange do you hold your altcoin assets before, when hard fork between Bitcoin cash and BSV doing automatically without have claimed first and every one hold bitcoin cash in support exchange wallet can received BSV depend with how many BCH keep holding.

Yes you can still claim your fork, all you have to do is find wallets that support all these forks, the wallets i know of are coinomi, i did claimed mine with coinomi wallet, you can use trust or atomic as well

This is very interesting, because I have never used the wallet provided by Coinomi, and it doesn't hurt if I try to use the coinomi wallet, especially since the wallet can help everyone in claiming a fork.

Could you show us that address so that we can see on BCH and BSV network if you have the balance there. And in case that you want to claim your BCH, move first your 5 BTC to another bitcoin wallet before the importing. Since you have the BCH tutorials, I think it would be easier for you to claim BSV using exodus.

He was asked to do it earlier in the thread but ignored the request. Maybe he's afraid that showing the address will compromise him somehow

Coinomi is not the easiest way to claim BSV because they don't support automatic splitting. If you sweep a BCH address into Coinomi you will send all your SV along and even if you had an SV address set up beforehand, the coins won't appear there automatically, like they do on some exchanges that do the split for you.
Check out the coinomi guide to claiming BSV, there's a number of things you have to do like send some already split BCH coins to your wallet to mix with the unsplit BCH and so on.

for some reason, it seems to me that you will not receive any Bitcoin cash because too much time has passed and now they simply will not do anything. most likely this is not even technically possible because wallet snapshots were taken in 2017 and how are you going to prove after three years that you really had 5 bitcoins? just forget it. nobody will give you your bitcoin cash.

You've just proven with this post that this is a bought account. I can't believe that someone who's been active on this forum for years could speak such nonsense.

I don't think you can claim the Bitcoin SV anymore. The wallet snapshot was taken in August 2017, we are now in 2020! I don't know any platform that offered much long time for fork something or swap! You missed the chance, maybe you did not bother at that time! As your wallet did not split the BSV from BCH coin automatically, then there is no chance to split now and get BSV! I would suggest you, use a wallet that can save your time and work!

Here you go https://electrum.org/#download
Update your electrum and try again with electron cash.

I downloaded the newest version of Electrum and after that still the same error message "version too old" when opening the Electrum wallet into the Electron Cash wallet.

Even after restarting my laptop, still the same. How can this be?

I am certainly willing to share an address with you, so you can check for me.

However I'm not sure what address you want from me.....is it just my current receiving address of the wallet which had 5BTC in it on 1st August 2017? Even if there have been many transactions since and there is 0.1 mbtc on it now?

Or does it have to be an address I used to receive funds around the time of 1st August 2017?

If you can make this clearer for me I am happy to give you my receiving address so that you can check for me!

It has to be the Bitcoin address you had since 2017 that held coins when the fork happened.
That Bitcoin address can be used to check if you have b-cash.

Oh shut, you just reminded me that I still have BCH and BSV from my Bitcoins Would you recommend any secure wallets which I can use in order to get my BCH and BSV?

[gweedo]

In fact, you can still request to receive BCH and BSV if you held your Bitcoin before the hark fork occurred. But since it's been too long since then and I doubt everything has stopped, try to request for it and see how the results will look. And I wonder why you didn't do this earlier, was there a problem with you or not?

If you have electrum the easiest way to get b-cash is with electron cash. Then your bcash will have sv attached to it and you can send it all to a wallet that splits it for you like exodus. Once you have bcash on exodus you press one button and it claims your sv and adds balance to a separate walet.

What has stopped? Time does not matter. Forked coins don't disappear!
Many people did not do it earlier because they were afraid that early wallets are bugged and will change their bitcoin balance. Many people lost Bitcoins trying to claim forks.

You can still get your BSV and BCC now because your wallet is qualified. I think for fastest support, you should contact these 2 projects support team and claim your coins.

Yes, the address with 5 bitcoins on it. But as instructed to you, you can easily check the address for BCH's and BSV's explorer and validate if there's a balance for that address. Post the address it here so that everybody can see and confirm it. Don't give your private keys to anyone here, just the address okay because there might be people that think you're not aware of it and might ask you confidential information like that and you shouldn't give it to them. Just the public address.

I think one of the wallets is one version forward from the other one. You can try to download an older version of electron cash and see if it will work.
If you're up for the task you can also use Exodus wallet to claim your coins but this will require you to import your bitcoin private keys into the wallet.

Here's how you do it

Hello,

I had 5 BTC in my Electrum wallet at the time of the hard fork which created Bitcoin Cash in August 2017, meaning I can still claim my 5 Bitcoin Cash if I'm correct.
But can I also claim my 5 Bitcoin SV right after this? Or do I not get those 5 Bitcoin SV since I had no Bitcoin Cash at the moment of the fork in November 2018?

Anyone?

Does electrum wallet support for every hard fork coin like bitcoin cash and BSV coin? I think right now hard fork only support with several exchange market like bittrex, binance and huobi when have moment with bitcoin or altcoin hard fork, if you don't yet for claiming your hard fork with BSV how to claim this hard fork on your wallet?

[Sithara007]

I don't think you can claim the Bitcoin SV anymore. The wallet snapshot was taken in August 2017, we are now in 2020! I don't know any platform that offered much long time for fork something or swap!

August 2017 was the date when the hard fork happened. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) split from the Bitcoin Blockchain on that date. Up to 2017 August, the Blockchain log is same for BCH, BSV and BTC. So if you have Bitcoins in your wallets before that date, you can claim an equivalent amount of BCH and BSV. And there is no time limit for this. You can claim after 5 or 10 years as well, as no one is going to move these coins. However, if your BTC is not that old, then they may not have the forked coins with them (i.e later than 2017 August).

You can ask them on their subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincashSV/


I’m sure you’ll get a good response there.

This thread remind me about the BCH in my wallet that i forgot. I found this tutorial from exodus, you can get your BCH and BSV in your old wallet with exodus: https://support.exodus.io/article/1025-how-do-i-split-bch-bsv-held-on-another-wallet

[jerry0]

Did anyone here claimed their bitcoin sv first before they claimed their bitcoin cash?  I assume that is very rare?


I only claimed bitcoin cash a while back but didn't claim bitcoin gold, sv or ecash or diamond.
