Alternative way of claiming a fork? E.g. with private keys?

Hello everyone,

I understand there are some Bitcoin forks coming up.

My crypto currency is in an online wallet (coin.space) and I don't want to purchase a hardware wallet. Neither do I wish to keep transferring my funds from here to there trying to keep up with this stuff.

If my online wallet doesn't support the fork can I can claim funds from any upcoming forks in another way? E.g. Could I use the private keys from my online wallet somehow.

Thanks Smiley

Thanks for all your answers! Very kind of you. I'll look at all the links and options you shared.

According to their illusive support documentation, it's possible to choose different fees at the time of transaction. If it was offered I didn't notice. I'm certainly not going to test it and hit the confirm button again to "double-check" lol ... If I was writing that software (the wallet) I would definitely, definitely check something like that first and proactively check with the user "The transaction fees are high compared to the amount you are transfering, are you sure you wish to continue?"

Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read my question Smiley

I just transferred £2 worth of Bitcoin with my coin.space wallet, and only after it had happened noticed I'd been charged £5 in transaction fees!

Does this seem normal to everyone?
