BTH, BTP and LBTC does not work at all

[newuser1a]

I am not sure if this is still being maintained but I spend several hours on this with high hopes and it turned out I couldn't get a single transaction send.

Tried BTH first
It couldn't connect to any of the servers. Tried over 100 times.
Tries BTP next
finally was able to connect to some servers but the transaction got rejected some how and it was never in the mempool. After 4 times it just stopped.
Had my last hope on LBTC
Its been over an hour and its still saying not seeing the transaction in the mempool.

I really appreciate you creating the script here to help others but this has been very aggrevating as nothing with this works. Does this still work or should I try something else?

Thank you

You're a bit late - a lot of forks are gone, broken, or reorganized so they're not true forks anymore. At least BTH and LBTC have reorganized according to https://forkdrop.io/ and is probably not claimable at all anymore.

I tried BCX today. It doesn't work either. Keep saying "Transaction not included in observed block." Does this mean its my key is incorrect or the blockchain it self is not working?
Also I noticed that it always says 'mempool' (0 bytes). Shouldn't there be something in the mempool?

When you say reorganized, what do you mean? Like you can no longer claim by using bitcoin keys?
I check BCX on forkdrop.io and it says the chain is still good. Any reason I wouldn't be able to claim BCX?

Do you know which of the fork still works? I am thinking about trying GOD next.

Thanks

Does this mean my transaction is rejected? like my key is invalid or something? I can see that I have coins on http://www.findmycoins.ninja/.

What address are you trying to claim from? You can use the convert_address.py script in this repo to convert your address to BCX format, then use their block explorer at https://bcx.info to check if your coins are indeed present on the chain. findmycoins.ninja doesn't do any deeper checks, it only checks that your address had coins on the BTC chain at the point of the fork.

Thanks for helping me.
This is the address I am trying to get BCX from: https://bcx.info/address/XEKTXg2fGNWvbEM3v4C2qrCzNirz2KyydN.

As you can see it does contain BCX. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The command I am using is:
python2.7 claimer.py BCX 6ea068cfe9be749c5e4183eb50d096e74b7eaf62de269681276cff866e8dc40f "privatekey" 13yDgXg41qmDFitZ5bD8USnzAtYEiFAJYu XJqg79sTb2tY9wAyrJrrrJxrqYNpLhD2N3 --txindex 11 --satoshis 10990000 --force

Am I doing something wrong. I did this according to a guide I found online.

[ymgve]

You've forgotten that BCX is a 10000x coin. Try with -satoshis 109900000000

[newuser1a]

Thanks
I tried it but I don't think -satoshis 109900000000 worked. I don't have 1099 BTC in this address.
It still not seeing the transaction. Do you think its the private key that is incorrect? I exported the key out of electrum. Maybe its incompatible with the script?

below is the log.

Oh, also your txindex is wrong. It should be 25 if I counted correctly, not 11.

So:

python2.7 claimer.py BCX 6ea068cfe9be749c5e4183eb50d096e74b7eaf62de269681276cff866e8dc40f "privatekey" 13yDgXg41qmDFitZ5bD8USnzAtYEiFAJYu XJqg79sTb2tY9wAyrJrrrJxrqYNpLhD2N3 --txindex 25 --satoshis 109900000000 --force

The private key should be correct as the script checks it against the public address and gives an error if they don't match.

[newuser1a]

Thank you. It finally work.
Really appreciate your fast response and help.
I followed a guide online when first setting up the script. Must have set that incorrect.

Thanks again for catching that.
