Hey,

I have couple paper wallet where I had sent small amount of BTC back in 2013.. I never touched these wallet ever since. When all the forks stuff came around I thouhg it was too much work to start and claim all these new coins so I left them there.

A friend told me about this github and I thought I was going to give it a try. I didn't go through the code yet to check how it works but I would like to know if this tool will archieve what I think it does.

If I start the script trying to claim the atom coins (BCA). The 'destination' address is a bitcoin address right? If it is how does this scipt manages to convert BCA to BTC? Does it uses some kind of exchange?

Thanks!

Ah ignore this. I just saw that I had to create a wall for every single of these coins :p

You guys should create a service that automatically convert a given coin to BTC (or at least do it for the one that are easy to do like BCH and like)

i'd pay to use that
