How Do I Claim and Sell Bitcoin Nano (BN)?

The Short Answer

Bitcoin Nano (BN) appears to have a functioning network for transactions, unfortunately, bitcoin_fork_claimer does not currently support it. That leaves you with some not-particularly great options which may be risky to your private keys. We cannot recommend you take risks with your private keys without understanding the specifics of your situation.

We recommend first draining all other easier-to-claim value for your private keys before attempting to claim this one. At that point, the best option may be to expose your keys to the official wallet software provided by the project. This software is almost certainly not up to the standards of quality of the best in the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem and the best other security-focused software, which is why we do not deem it an acceptable solution.

Along with each method we also outline the technical difficultly level, privacy/security protection and our recommendation level. Read through each to find which is the most recommended option for you to use.

We Recommend
Security
Difficulty
Default Privacy

Bitcoin Nano (BN) provides a wallet that can be located via their project page.

Individual projects do not develop software in a way that is as reliable and trustworthy as the top-tier Bitcoin (BTC) wallet software. Also, there is a conflict of interest by trusting software that is not shipped and reviewed by an independent party who has no financial stake in a project. Due to the number and variety of cryptocurrency projects, very few get any code review, and being 'open source' is far from a guarantee that there is nothing malicious or mistaken in this code.

Claiming from P2SH addresses

The bitcoin_fork_claimer tool does not have support for outputs which are encumbered with script conditions. These Bitcoin addresses start with 3 with the exception of Segwit address, which start with 3 as well. If you have coins held on one of these address through the fork or airdrop point, you will need to do some research and investigate other methods for redeeming this value.
