How to get ready for the Bitcoin Private (BTCP) fork.

Let's start start with ZClassic (ZCL).

Generate a single ZClassic (ZCL) wallet.

  1. Go to zclassicpaperwallet.com and start moving your cursor on the designed area or just type some random keys.
  2. Select T Address* and then click on Generate a new wallet.
  3. Save your Public ZCL Address and Secret Private Key
  4. On the same page go to Wallet Details select T Address enter your Private key and click on View Details to test your new ZCL Address. If you see the same QR codes from Single Address tab everything is ok (I'm asking you to do this since it doesn't work all the time, if nothing appears just create a new wallet and try again).

*I saw that Z Addresses are not accepted on some mining pools.

Now that we have a ZClassic (ZCL) wallet, we're going to buy some ZCL. You can buy ZCL from:

Transfer your coins to your ZClassic (ZCL) wallet.

You can check the blockchain on zcl-explorer.com or zclassicexplorer.com.

Personally I bookmarked this link for faster access.

And now you're ready for the Bitcoin Private (BTCP) fork. Well, not exactly. You will want to dump your ZCL after the fork. For that you'll need the windows zclassic wallet.

Here's what you will have to do:

  1. Download the latest version of Java from java.com.
  2. Download the old java wallet (this one works most of the time) from MEGA - ZClassic v1.0.5.rar or the latest one from github.
  3. Download the Blockchain (01-14-2018) from MEGA - Zclassic.rar.
  4. Open any folder and type on the address %appdata% then hit enter.
  5. Extract the blockchain (Zclassic.rar) on that folder (address should be like: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming).
  6. Extract "ZClassic v1.0.5.rar" on any location you want.
  7. Open ZClassicSwingWalletUI.jar.
  8. Click on Wallet -> Import One Private Key.
  9. Paste your ZCL Private Key and wait for the blockchain to sync.

How about BITCOIN?
As long as you have your private key you'll be fine, if you have your BTC on an exchange be careful becouse BTCP it may not be added (ex:coinbase) to that exchange.

I'm going to lose my ZCL after the fork?
No, you'll still have your ZCL!

How much BTCP I'm going to get after the fork?
If you had 1 BTC and 2 ZCL before the fork you'll get 3 BTCP after the fork.

You're such a nice guy, can I give you some coins? Yes you can! :P
