I was looking at old addresses with bitcoin and while it appears on BTC, BSV, BCH, it doesn't appear on the bitcoin gold explorers?

Do the addresses need to be transformed to something new?

Use this tool: http://www.findmycoins.ninja
But it won't work if the address has more than 20 transaction.

When I checked the address you posted, I can see the Bitcoin Gold fork, but it's just only worth $1.2, not worth the risking the 0.02016502 BTC / 781.98 USD in there right now.

Thanks for the link!  I knew about BTC, BCH, BSV, and BTG.  But didn't know about the others.  I think it's pretty safe as long as you start by moving the ones with the largest value and work your way down.

I think that coinomi is pretty handy to claim forks
Move your bitcoin to another wallet (with different seed), and import your old wallet seed in coinomi.

Coinomi supports most of those forks.

However, most of those forks are pretty worthless now and they have a very low volume...
Bch, bsv and btg are the best ones. Maybe btd is worth claiming as well..

Do you know if coinomi handles the BCH and BSV coins well from old addresses?

Looking into this, I got warnings from Bittrex that I need to separate BCH and BSV coins before sending it to them or they could be lost somehow.

This is correct

You need to follow this guide to properly split your coins.

But remember, first of all: Move your Bitcoin to any wallet, with a different seed. Only then use coinomi and split your coins.

Quote

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. Any value will work, however small. The easiest way is to receive BCH from an exchange. If you are sweeping unsplit BCH/BSV from a paper wallet, you must still receive split BCH from somewhere else before moving to step 2.
After transaction from (1) is confirmed, open the BCH wallet and copy your current BCH "receive" address
On that same BCH wallet, go to the "send" section and send your full BCH balance to the address copied above.
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.

Thank you.  I was able to recover 4 of the forked coins and might be able to recover 6.  Kind of doing it just for fun, with this wallet the amount is so small it's not really worth it.  But if you had a wallet with much larger amounts it might be then.

BTC > BCH, BSV, BTG, BCD, SBTC, BTX  (in order of value)

I used ElectrumSV-1.3.11 to split and send BSV, then Electron-Cash-4.2.3 to send the BCH. Then the website https://guarda.co/app for BTG and Electrum-BCD-3.0.5.3 for BCD.

As of today, Bittrex, Binance, and HitBTC are exchanges that these can be transferred to and sold for BTC.

Definitely not worth risking at the moment,,, But do not forget, if you do decide to do anything with any of these, just first move out (sweep) out all of your BTC to a new wallet. You just never know what kind of malware is sending out your private keys to a lurking hacker:)

Hodl BTC! Forget the forks;)
