I've seen reports of people losing BTC when using dodgy splitting apps or even malware.
Is there a service or vetted app that automatically detects every available unsplit forked coin from BTC on in a wallet, and then splits them each to unique wallets? Can this entire process happen "offline", while the coins are on local offline wallets?

My Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service) is probably a good place to start reading up. Note that the prices and Forks in that topic are outdated, I would currently only claim these 5 Forkcoins.

I've seen reports of people losing BTC when using dodgy splitting apps or even malware.
The basics to avoid this:
  • Move your Bitcoin to a new address before doing anything else
  • Consider those addresses compromised, so don't use them again
  • Understand and mitigate the lack of replay protection before continuing
  • Don't install Forkcoin wallets on your normal PC, use a separate system or VM
For some of the Forks, it's possible to do offline signing. Start with the most valuable ones.
