How do I receive my BTCP?

 

For security, we recommend everyone moves their ZCL and/or BTC to a new address before using the private key for the address it was in for the fork. For now, SegWit BTC balances cannot be claimed. They should be available soon, please keep an eye out for it.

If you are using a multi-signature wallet, these will not apply to you. Go to the bottom.

 

Full-node

1. Unzip and run BitcoinPrivateDesktopWallet.jar (after installing latest java).

2. Start it and allow the blockchain to sync.

3. Go to Wallet > Import One Private key -> this will take quite some time

4. Press yes when asked to sweep. Please be patient as the blockchain headers download. Your BTCP will be available after this.

 

Electrum (No z addresses yet)

1. Unzip and run electrum executable

2. Create a NEW wallet

3. Go to wallet > private keys > sweep

4. Enter all private keys and sweep BTCP into new address

 

Coinomi

1. Follow instructions according to https://coinomi.com

 

Electrum Multisignature

1. Unzip and run electrum executable

2. Press next, select multi signature, press next

3. Set to proper number of key holders and cosigners, press next

6. After wallet start up, make a new multi-sig wallet and send funds there for safety and security reasons.
