I claimed the 1:1 back in October 2017. So is it possible to claim again the very same address for the 1/2:1?
You can claim the 1/2:1 Airdrop every time when you import the private Keys (from the Addresses who you have a balance during the snapshot) in your BTX Wallet with the Console.

  • Start Bitcore QT. As soon as your wallet has been synced go to Help->Debug Window
  • Select Console
  • If your wallet is encrypted it must be unlocked first. Enter "walletpassphrase [yourpassphrase] 600" (without the "" and without [ ])
  • Now you are ready to import your private key. Enter "importprivkey [yourbitcoinprivkey]" (without the "" and without [ ]). Make sure there are no spaces in your private key.

Your wallet should now contain 1/2 the amount of Bitcore you had in at least 0.01 Bitcoin at 2nd of November 2017 at block #492820 in the Bitcoin blockchain.

Thanks for the explanation. Since I use a Trezor device, I cannot get the private key easily and would have to use a tool from GitHub to calculate my private key.

I don't trust seed words to any such tools and I will therefore not claim my 1/2 : 1 match. I did not have hundreds of BTC, so I don't leave big money on the table (blockchain). I donate the non-claimed BTX to all who HODL BTX as this is my small contribution to scarcity of Bitcore.

The 1:1 claim was easier accomplished through a signed message and I was hoping that the 1/2 : 1 claim worked the same. That different method was the reason why I did not do the 2nd (50%) claim in November.
