Sure. I am open to suggestions. What do you think about the fresh page?
I'd you think about new tools I can try to make them as well.
This one might be a little bit controversial and might take up too many resources (and may not have much in the way of need for most people) but here goes.
There was a site a while ago (
forum thread) that would extract forked coins from various bitcoin clones using the privkey provided by the user. Basically, you went to the site, it checked for any coins accessible on chains and, once you provided wallet addresses where those forked coins could be sent (wallet or exchange), the privkey was uploaded and then the coins sent to the wallet addresses provided.
I tried it a couple of times and was able to extract various bitcoin variants that were then sent to exchanges, sold for the going rate and then the remainder that weren't sent (because I didn't have a wallet address to send them to) were burned (I'm guessing they became dust or were burned).
I've thought about if for a while and think there were some inherent "trust" issues, plus, what became of the dust etc?
LoyceV has a walk through thread which hasn't been posted in for the last six months. When I asked them about creating a site, I got this reply:
have you ever though of creating a similar website app which people could use themselves?
Nope, I don't have the skills to do that, and most forks are worthless by now anyway.
This is a process/approach I would take:
(apologies if my terminology is not the standard terms used) - New user arrives at site and is issued a token. User must also create their own password (12?-15? digits). The token and the password encrypt everything that then happens so that no one else can access any remaining funds at the end of the process. User clicks pop up check box they have written down token and password in a safe place and won't share etc.
- Either on arrival or after token issued, user checks wallet addresses for any remaining funds. Pop up or check boxes throughout the process the user acknowledges the risks involved.
- User enters payout wallet addresses for various forks and is asked to confirm those wallet addresses. (back-end check wallet addresses are valid for the fork involved)
- back-end: due to the excessive number of forks, a user may not have access to wallet addresses for all forks - a user at this point can either "burn" coins with no wallet address, donate to the website, or, those funds are held until the user returns at a later date with a wallet address to recover those remaining forked coins. (hence the token plus password).
- User repeats process for as many wallet addresses as they see fit.
- User selects payout time-frame - instant (higher TX) top of the hour, daily some other time-frame e.g. once per week ?? - This enables the back-end to make multiple payouts at the same time and consolidate funds at the same time. i.e. funds on site plus users' funds combined to become payout to user and change address (two in, two out)
- Once user has checked the balances of all wallet addresses and entered payout wallet addresses, the user is then required to begin uploading privkeys which are verified (back-end regardless of how many payout wallet addresses there are, all funds are swept/shifted out to new wallet addresses and are held in a pool of funds).
- User can return to the site with their token and password and view the remainder of forked coins they haven't claimed and either repeat the above process with new privkeys, or, post wallet addresses to be paid out the forked coins with the relevant wallet addresses.
- Fees ... IDK the site I used charged 10% which might scare some off. 1% might be more attractive, but may not be enough to cover maintenance costs.

I'm sure there are checks and balances that I haven't thought of, but this might be a new page that some users will find beneficial.
