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.

Thank for the post. Are there any other exchanges?
Finally a legit solution, thank you so much, I hope your post will be upvoted, it deserves it !
Thanks. I hope also :)
Congratulations about your tesla car!
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.
Ok, I finally see my BCDs in Bither, but when I try to send them to Bitpie I get a "send failed" error message, why?
And you changed the currency in Bither and BitPie before copy and sending to the address?
yes, BCD in Bitpie and GetBCD in bither. And it works! Thank you!
The problem was the fees. By default in Bither it was set to 20x. and it was higher than my BCD amount, it gave me error. I suggest setting to "normal". So I solved!
when I try to send from bither to bitpie it just get stuck there.
these wallets are horrible and extremely slow loading and keep crashing.
I am sorry to hear that. Sending from Bither to BitPie worked good for me.
Mi działa i fajne bo bez wiekszych komplikacji
Cant find Bither on the iOS app store
https://itunes.apple.com/no/app/bither-bitcoin-wallet/id899478936?mt=8
Can't get Bither on itunes in UK, it gives a Norway option then says not available? The windows wallet does not seem to work, or at least allow the importing of a seed. Any suggestions?
Thanks for this. Just one question. Ive swept from exodus to electrum. My balances sho in both wallets though. When you say send BTC out, have I done the right thing by sweeping from exodus to electrum? Or do I have to actually SEND a transaction from exodus to electrum (which already shows my balance)
No, you should just import the private key in Bither wallet for whatever address you had balance at the time of the split of the forks.
Thanks for your reply. Im just confused about the first part where you warn us to SEND bitcoin to another wallet before claim. So Ive used a sweep into electrum from exodus instead of send from (to avoid a fee). Is it now safe to follow yr claim process even tho exodus shows a balance?I will be using my exodus pvt keys .
Ah. You must send from exodus to electrum. This is because of increased risk from importing to another wallet. Create a new wallet in electrum and send from exodus to it. After when your exodus wallet is empty, import the private keys from exodus to bither.
