How to claim Bitcoin Diamond (BCD), Super Bitcoin (SBTC), and Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
I found out how to claim Bitcoin Diamond and Super Bitcoin today, now that Bitcoin Diamond has a major pump and I was looking for ways to claim both Bitcoin Diamond and Super Bitcoin another time. I only found one safe method. This can also be used for Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Cash, if you did not claim those already.
Warning: Send your bitcoin to a new wallet before you proceed!
- Download Bither and BitPie from App Store / Google Play
- Create a wallet and click the cog -> advanced -> HDM account recovery
- Scan qr code or enter the seed of your bitcoin wallet
- Let it sync and your fork balances will show up
- Go to advanced -> get BCD/SBTC/BTG/BCH
- Send your forks to the BitPie wallet
- Send your forks from BitPie wallet to exchange
If step 3 does not work for you, you may scan the private keys manually. App crashed when I tried to scan the seed. Maybe the electrum bitcoin wallet seed is not supported in Bither. So I had to scan each address private key manually. This is how to do that:
- In Bither wallet click the cog -> advanced -> import private key -> text
- Click the camera icon and scan the qr code, or enter private key
- Continue on step 4 above.
I hope this was helpful. If you have any problems, leave a comment.
Apparently these wallets are not new, so seems leggit. I tried with Bitcoin Diamond, it seems to work. I am now looking for an exchange that accept Diamond deposit.

Olsm, I read your article on how to use Bither and bitpie application to claim bitcoin forks. I did all the process and it show me I have no getable coins....Does that mean i am too late to claim/get coins?
I scanned 19 private keys/BIP32 derived addresses already from https://iancoleman.io/bip39/. Is there a minimum of private keys i need to scan or do i need to scan all - meaning 100's or 1000's of lines ? Could you please advise me?
Thank you.
I bought bitcoin diamond Token ERC20 on coin base through airdrop last year, but have find it difficult to send it to any exchange.
Do you have a solution for me on such matter
Sending now to okex, I will report it if gets there or not ....
Confirm it works ! I can see my Bitcoin Diamond arriving at the exchange ;-) Now to sell or not to sell ?
I think sell. How can you say no to more sweet free Bitcoin Cash?
Thank you for your very informative post I have been trying to find a solution to this for a while. I held my bitcoin in a paper wallet but unfortunately I only have private key and not a HD 12-word pass so this fixed my problem as app accepts ether. Great stuff and thanks again!
You will have to help me in person! This is level complicated! ;)
<blond hair - you know>
I will!
I claimed all these shit forks and converted them into Bitcoin Cash.
Wooo, more free Bitcoin Cash for me! I love it!
really free of charge?
Yes, i didnt pay to get these. I had bitcoin before these forks happened.
cool. I need to try today
Claiming Bitcoin Diamond Fork easily with Electrum Wallet!
As you all already know, Electrum released a version 3.1.2 of Electrum Diamond, for the fork on December 2017.
anyway to claim the coins, you can download the electrum wallet choose your OS, once downloaded, open Electrum
do not use existing wallet file, you have to restore the wallet if you not used segwit..
Works perfect on Ledger wallet, Trezor Wallet, Bitcoin Core tested myself.

Hey I just saw this post on Minds & resteemed it here, thanks for writing this I had no idea about how to claim forks.
Anyone can suggest me best exchange for BTW?
thanks in advance
https://www.btw.one/ appears to be the official site, they list various exchanges which "have expressed intent" to support BTW, or have already implemented BTW.
I've never used mobile wallets, how reliable are Bither and BitPie?
They worked for this task, but they look like shit wallets. Only problem I had though was that it crashed when I tried to scan the seed so I decided to scan the private keys instead.
great article @olsm
Thanks for sharing... :D
If you think an article is great, it would be nice if you upvote :)
Thank you, you are welcome!
I want to claimed these cryptocurrencies. Thank you for this information.
You are welcome :)
Can you elaborate more on Bither vs Bitpie? Step 2 is not clear to me on whether you are talking about Bither or Bitpie.
Bither does not let you send directly to an exchange. It requires you to send to a BitPie address for some stupid reason. So you have to send from Bither to BitPie first and then you can send from BitPie to an exchange or another wallet.
