Easiest Way to Split Your Bitcoin SV Forked Coins (BSV & Genesis)

On February 4, 2020, Bitcoin SV (BSV) had a hard fork, which resulted in the creation of a new separate coin called Bitcoin Genesis (BSG).

On the hard fork date, people who had Bitcoin SV in their software & hardware wallets were credited with new Bitcoin Genesis coins, in a 1:1 ratio. In this article, I will describe the easiest way to find & split your BCH & BSV coins, so they can be traded separately.

Easiest Way:

Just send your unsplit BSV coins from your wallet ( Exodus Wallet,ElectrumSV wallet,Coinomi wallet etc) to official “Сoin Splitter ” Address: 1ELiBTid2TGGg6xM355cuFAZND5YEnBGhi , in one transaction, and they will auto-split your coins. You will then see both your Genesis & BSV coins on your wallet, where they can be traded. After 30 confirmations (~1 hours), they can be withdrawn. If you had unsplit BSV coins, then the above method should work, and you should be done.

How to Safely Split BSV and Bitcoin Genesis coins using official MyBitcoinSV wallet:

If you held BitcoinSV (BSV) in an ElectrumSV software wallet or before the BitcoinSV blockchain fork on February 4, 2020 you now also possess an equal quantity of Bitcoin Ginesis (BSG). In this post, we will show you how to claim it.

Step 1. Important: Verify you have your ElectrumSV seed phrase

Do not skip this step. In the event you need to recover your ElectrumSV wallet, you must have your seed phrase. Your seed phrase is the random string of 12 words used to generate your private keys when you first installed ElectrumSV. To view your seed phrase, click Wallet > Seed. Enter your ElectrumSV password, and click OK. As ElectrumSV recommends:

Please save these 12 words on paper (order is important). This seed will allow you to recover your wallet in case of computer failures.

Step 2. Export your private keys

In your original ElectrumSV wallet with the pre-fork private keys, click Wallet > Private keys > Export. Enter your ElectrumSV password, and click OK. After a few moments, the Private keys window will populate with your BitcoinSV addresses (on the left), and the corresponding private key for each address (on the right).

Step 3. Visit the official MyBitcoinSV website

3.1 Create a new wallet
3.2 Save new seed
3.3 Import additional private keys or seed of your BitcoinSV (BSV) wallet if needed. Paste each private key into the Enter private keys input field on a new line. Click Import to continue.
3.4 You can withdrawal Bitcoin Genesis (BSG)

The MyBitcoinSV wallet launches automatically once encrypted. You should see the same pre-fork number of Bitcoin Genesis (BSG) coins in your MyBitcoinSV wallet that you see in your ElectrumSV (BSV) wallet. Remember that MyBitcoinSV is a BitcoinSV (BSV) and Bitcoin Genesis wallet only. Do not send BTC to a BCH wallet, and do not send BCH to a BTC wallet. Although they share the same namesake and pre-fork history, the networks are separate.
