I've created a bech32 segwit paper wallet using this generator: https://segwitaddress.org/ . Everything was done in a new computer, with a live Ubuntu OS installed on a USB stick, and no internet access of any kind. I got a private key instead of a seed.
Another wallet that gives you Bech32 address is Electrum: https://electrum.org/#download and verify it.


The purpose when you want to claim forked coins is to get extra money from your initial bitcoin amount. So please
  • Protect your bitcoin amount first. Don't lose it when you use its private key to claim forked coins!
  • Move your initial bitcoin amount to a new address in a new bitcoin wallet. It is a way to protect it
  • Wait for confirmation(s) for that transaction. If you are more careful, wait for 3 confirmations at least

And follows the guide from LoyceV LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service)
