This one came up: Bitcoin@CBC (BCBC)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3109563.0

We will not be listing it on FindMyCoins.ninja because of its unfair nature, but you might want to add it to your "Not a true fork list". All addresses with a positive balance were reduced by 1 coin, we find that highly unfair as it makes a big difference if you had 2 coins, or if you had 100. You either lose 50%, or 1%. Aside from that, they also removed Satoshis' and other "zombie" addresses.

hey guys, anyone ever used that github fork claimer tool thingy? https://github.com/ymgve/bitcoin_fork_claimer

i'm thinking about moving my BTC to another wallet and giving this a try, but would love to hear some feedback first (hopefully good?!)

I've used it myself with a few forks and it did what it was supposed to do. There is another one (https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-transactions) but it takes a 1-2% fee or something. If you go our website http://findmycoins.ninja, after searching for your coins at the bottom there will be a "Full report" button where we crafted some of the commands for you. It's still in beta but you might find it useful.

ABitcoin seems to be an airdrop, not a "real" fork.

That's right, United Bitcoin is similar to an airdrop. During the last claiming phase, I think that addresses with activity between two block heights were automatically credited, without the need to register. Although, addresses needed to contain 0.01BTC IIRC. Previous claiming phases had different requirements. Altogether, I decided not to list that "fork" as it was too complicated and controversial to my taste.

On my site, I only list coins that were automatically credited to all, with the exception of Bitcore which requires 0.01BTC but it is a simple enough requirement so I left it there. Though, the main idea behind the site is to quickly find the coins that were forked. How would you feel about adding it to the list of other sites listed below your comprehensive list?

In the next hours or days, I'll display the UTXOs (transaction ID, index and amount) which should make it a lot easier for ymgve's bitcoin_fork_claimer users to claim their coins. I'm also working on displaying whether or not coins have already been claimed.

Thanks for the list, it is very useful.

I think Bitcoin Nano should be listed under 'Excluded From "Fork" List' as it requires registration (and proof of BTC ownership) for the "forked" coins to be claimed and distributed to a new BTN address.
