So is anybody making anything that'd allow me to claim all this free stuff automatically? I already did it for bcash but it took about a week to download the forked blockchain, would presumably be longer now. Doing it for all these things seems like a massive hassle. I'd be prepared to accept some risk and pay some of my free imaginary internet money in return for this service.
- krrrh 9y agoThe Coinomi wallet for Android seems to be early in supporting these forks. When it came to claiming bitcoin gold recently, running it in an android emulator and typing in old private keys was still the most reasonable option for someone with only iOS and macOS devices available. If you had your BTC in a hardware wallet like Trezor during the split, claiming BCH and BTG was automatic with firmware upgrades which only came with considerable delay. Claiming lessor and unsupported forks off a hardware wallet seems like a major chore and security risk since you’d need to regenerate your private keys off-device.

I just imported my private keys (for Bitcoins I got before the fork) from Electrum to the Bitcoin Cash version of Electrum. Is there something else I need to do or is that just if you're running a full node?
- DougN7 9y agoI read that Electrum recommended you move your coins (both BTC and BCC) to a new wallet after getting your forked BCC.
- Joeboy 9y agoI'm running the code from the bitcoin cash github repo, which I guess means I'm running a full node. Possibly I should be running Electrum or something instead.
