From what I have read in order to claim the bitcoin cash I need to first make a new bitcoin BITCOIN CASH wallet, transfer everything to the new wallet (this is to be safe from relay attacks) and then use the private key to claim my bitcoin cash.

After October 25th my paper wallet should also get the 1 bitcoin gold. Again from what I have read to claim bitcoin gold and protect myself from relay attacks I need to transfer all my bitcoins to a new generated bitcoin address, and that I also need to make a 2nd output in that same transaction to the 3Bit............ address. Apparently you can send bitcoins to more than address in a single transaction.

Basically my question is if I follow the bitcoin cash relay protection method I am vulnerable to bitcoin gold relay attack and vice versa? Or maybe I have it all completely wrong, need some help here Smiley

After you've claimed your Bitcoin Cash, make sure you send it to a Bitcoin Cash wallet...not a Bitcoin wallet. If you send it to a Bitcoin wallet the Bitcoin Cash will be lost forever.

I'd also suggest you consider getting a Trezor. Trezor is more secure than a physical wallet and will provide you greater support and instruction on how to claim Bitcoin Cash and other future air drops.
