I understand why we are forced to give out our private key of our wallet in order to claim bitcore. There are many other airdrops with no such requirement. And if we own a hardware wallet (ledger nano s), a safe way you say is to move your coins to new wallet and claim using old wallet.

Can I create a new wallet inside ledger nano s that has its own private key? If so how can I do this?

Other than that, with my current private key tied to other wallets like ethereum, etc, stratis and many others, this claim would be really troublesome for us hardware wallet owners.

I suggest you use message signing option to distribute coins instead of asking private keys.

Try claiming it the way i did, i moved my BTC (Copy/paste)Dat.file to the Bitcorewallet, removed that on's Dat.file temporarily and saw my Bitcorebalance, then i send them to my Bitcoreaddress i use, removed the Dat.file, put the old one back.  
I'm not sure if this is the way, but it did give me my BTX directly that i had at the time of the snapshot.

Not sure this will work. I will check for other safer ways if any exist. I suggest you move your coins to a safer wallet if you think your way is not %100 safe.

Why doesn't someone from the team post articles on Twitter, Medium, Facebook, and post videos on Youtube explaining in detail how to claim the free BTX? There seems to be a lot of different suggestions. Why not figure out the easiest and safest way to do that and then post the correct way and make it easy for anyone who wants to claim their BTX to do so?

Secondly, the person who posted that BTX is a scam might actually be a fan of Bitcoin Cash and is afraid that BTX will one day overtake BCH. We can first try to explain it to him and have him put the correct information up there. If he still chooses not to listen, we create our own page with the correct information. There are times that one must take the offensive and this is one of those times. The community's growth will be hampered if people are allowed to believe that this great coin is a scam, simply because of what a person has to do to claim their free coins.
