BCH and BSV

[temguy2]

Hi all,

I found the guide for getting BCH from armory on this link
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2070058.0

I was wondering if there were other guides for getting Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Gold from Armory?

Thanks

 you should be really careful when recovering bch and bsv now, because those coins don't have replay protection

I recommend that you follow this guide to split your coins before recovering any of them. Otherwise you might lose your bsv.
I would use coinomi.

Take a look at their guide here, teaching how to split your coins from both chains before recovering.

About replay protection:

There is no replay protection between the BCH (ABC) and the BSV chains. This means that, unless you properly "split" your coins, transactions you make with one of those coins will also be made on the other.

Sending unsplit BCH will result in the same amount of BSV being sent to the same address (and vice-versa). The receiving wallet may not be prepared to accept BSV into their address, so there is a possibility of loss of BSV coins. This is not an issue specific to Coinomi, as any other wallet you use is under the same risk.

How to split coins:

Splitting is only necessary if you had a positive BCH balance on November 15th 2018. If you received either BCH or BSV after that date, they are most likely already split.

Receive a new deposit into your BCH wallet of BCH that is already split. The easiest way is to receive BCH from an exchange.
After transaction from (1) is confirmed, copy your current BCH "receive" address and send your full BCH balance to it.
Done. This should be enough for your coins to be split. This process only has to be done once. After your coins are split, they are split forever, and further deposits you receive will also most likely already be split.

How to claim BSV coins:

Only do this if your coins are already split, otherwise the transaction will happen with both coins.

That was back then, when there's no Electrum versions for Bitcoin Cash and of course, those Bitcoin forks.
Now, it's as easy as: export private key(s) from Armory (procedure) then import them to each Electrum forks depending on the coin.
You might want to send your Bitcoins to another address before exporting them.

Electrum forks:
Bitcoin Cash [BCH] - https://electroncash.org/
Bitcoin SV [BSV] - https://electrumsv.io/
Bitcoin Gold [BTG] - https://github.com/BTCGPU/electrum

Though, you will encounter some issues for P2SH-SegWit addresses, but for legacy, it's very simple actually.

You might want to send your Bitcoins to another address before exporting them.

This should not be an option at all, but something that must be done before claim of any forked coin. Even though you posted the links that should lead to legitimate wallets, extra caution is certainly something that contributes to security. In this case, moving coins to new wallet and verify signature of each wallet + claim the most valuable coin first as a little insurance in case we run into a fake wallet later.

Of course, it all goes down if we put a private key/seed in a fake wallet, so many are lost their coins in an attempt to get new ones.

Thanks a lot everyone. I'll give electrum a try.

Better to another wallet: if any private key of a Armory wallet is revelead, all the other private keys (and the relative addresses) are compromised:
