It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

What if I withdraw my btc from the electrum wallet now? I will be able to claim the btg later when they will release the wallet?

I was very lucky to find out that yolodice owner will give us our BTG when the fork happens. Im glad I do not have to deal with it. Looks like it might be a pain or a confusing to others. Though you should have a private key in your wallet and be able to do it yourself, can anyone post instructions, for others to see?

The best is even to withdraw your funds from your wallet before you tamper with your private key on any of the BTG official wallet stated on their site. Relax for a while and see how things are going, then move your funds to another wallet, since you held your coin before the fork, don't worry you will have access to your BTG. Once you do are sure your BTC is safe, then you can go on and import those keys in another wallet. This is just to be on the safe side. You can check their website http://btcgpu.org for the list of the wallets.

I asked the same, might have a solution so far. I have exodus wallet which is not supporting BTG. I think this is the safest way to do it: 1. Send Bitcoin to another wallet (I will send them to Coinbase from Exodus) 2. Then you export your private keys from your wallet you had Bitcoins in. (that means to me that I have to export my private keys from Exodus) 3. After 1st of November, you have to find a TRUSTED wallet which supports Bitcoin gold. I do not know which wallet that is. When you find a wallet which support Bitcoin gold, you need to open that wallet with your private key. I have no clue how you do that. But I am trying to learn. Anyone else agree? I started another thread here about the same topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2311508.new#new

You must wait for the BTG wallet to come out first. The BTG website is under DDOS attack right now. It was just attacked a few minutes before I types this...

Lol. Obviously, electrum does not support bitcoin gold. If you really want to get your Bitcoin gold, then you have to transfer your btc somewhere secure(won't suggest any because i don't wanna be liable if you happen to lose your bitcoins due to carelessness), then export your private keys from the wallet you have before you transfered your bitcoins, then, get yourself a a TRUSTABLE wallet that happens to support bitcoingold,(still won't suggest anything), then import your private keys there. Do this at your own risk.

People says the best way is keeping BTC in your wallet that you have private keys, but i think that if i had my BTC on Bitfinex was better, i would be able to trade BTG right now and who kept in private wallet can't do it.

BTG doesn't even have replay protection done yet. Be very careful not to lose your BTC just for BTG, just not worth it. BTG probably won't be like BCH as well in term of market movement since there are more awareness this time round (especially when people are branding BTG as a scam too).

I have found a trusted bitcoin gold wallet and i would like to share with you guys. The website is: https://www.btcgwallet.orgAnd i also made a instruction how to gain bitcoin gold if you have your coins in the Electrum wallets. Other wallets or exchanges i do not know, so please do not ask. 1) Make sure to send ALL YOUR BITCOINS to the Electrum wallet: https://electrum.org/2) After you got ALL your bitcoins in Electrum export the private keys (csv format should be OK) DO NOT SWEEP THEM! 3) Download the Windows BTCG Wallet at: https://www.btcgwallet.org4) Import your Electrum default_wallet or whatever Electrum wallet filename you have into BTCG Wallet 5) Fill in your SEED that you have from Electrum wallet (or skip this just leave it as it is) 6) Enter your wallet password if your wallet is encrypted 7) Now import your saved private keys that you have exported from the Electrum wallet TADA! You have your Bitcoin Gold! THANK ME LATER!!! Instruction how to know if a wallet is fake or not or phising: - Check the URL if you don't see a SSL certificate you know the website is fishy. - Test a website if its working with HTTP and HTTPS (www and non www) - Make sure you have your firewall on and check the traffic (you can also hit netstat to check) - Test things in a virtual environment before you launch something - Check if the file is not a virus or malware with your antivirus/anti malware - If you dont trust something do not download it or use it Thats it folks. Hope you like my tutorial and i wish you all the best with your bitcoin gold! sounds fishy. after you do this steps, TADA! You lost your bitcoins

Number 1. The bitcoin gold wallet hasn't been released and don't listen to anything that blackworms2001 says. He is trying to scam you into filling in your electrum seed and maybe even more like installing a key logger on your computer.
I REPEAT. DON'T USE ANY WALLETS AVAILABLE NOW ON THE INTERNET OR YOUR BITCOINS WILL DISAPPEAR IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.
Second thing: If you had your coins in electrum before block 491407 you're part of the snapshot and will receive bitcoin gold once the official wallet is out. You'd use your bitcoin private keys to get your airdropped BTG.
Don't trust or use anything until it's officially released on their website or their twitter.

As of right now, there are no trustworthy wallets that support BTG. So just relax a bit folks and wait for the forst wallets to support it, probably after the official launch after November 1. I know the BTG price is in free fall right now, but its not worth loosing your BTC over it by some hasty actions to get and sell your BTG.

electrum doesn't support BTG at the moment. You can claim your BTG by securely exporting your private keys to any BTG wallet.NB:becareful of phising sites.its very recommend you empty your wallet before tranfering your private keys.

It is always a mess to get this fork coins, because the forkers don't usually even care to make the process easy for users. Bitcoin Cash was another mess in this sense.

Electrum is a stand alone decentralized wallet and that makes you have control of your fund. Like most people have said, all you just need is your private key. However, you should know that private keys are not to be toyed with and you should be careful. If you are not sure what to do, look for resources online that can guide you on how to effectively get your BTG from your electrum wallet, you will definitely find one later on.

If it was there that quick in your hands, then you would be holding something that is way too controlled by someone else, otherwise, the wallet is useless? So, there is no way either way that it would work out for you. Either you are being scammed now or later. So, really, the only way that it works out is if you hit the scams just right.

it is btcoin gold wallet ? https :// btcgpu[dot]me/
no it is not, that website is a scam. the project code is not yet finished which means even if you wanted you couldn't have made a wallet and release it! there is no blockchain for bitcoin gold either! if you download the binary that website offers, it will most probably steal your private keys and both your bitcoin and bitcoin gold from you and before you know it, all your funds will be gone. always use the official websites to check and see if they mention any wallet: https://btcgpu.org/

Till now,no wallets have officially announced their support for bitcoin gold.Once offiicial wallet is released,you would have to enter your bitcoin wallet's private key in it to claim free BTG.But entering your private keys is a risky task and you may even lose all of your bitcoins.
So,better check that the wallet you are going to use for claiming free BTG is legit or not.If not,then you would have to lose bitcoins just as a guy lost his 45 BTC while trying to claim free BCC by wrongly downloading wallet from a fake website Electroncash.com.

BTG has no replay protection either. I would treat your first interaction with BTG as risky, when you import your BTC wallet you're taking a risk with the software you're using, when you make a transaction you're taking a risk that it could be "replayed" on the other blockchain.
The advice I have seen, that I would trust, is to move all your BTC to a new wallet before you touch BTG - that way if something goes wrong the more valuable BTC are already elsewhere in a wallet that will never have anything to do with BTG.

a good suggestion but remember that BTG is not released yet so it doesn't matter if it has or doesn't have a replay protection! for now only those who kept their coins on exchanges have received their tokens and dumped them at a good price. the rest have to wait until it is actually released. and they are working on a replay protection like bitcoin cash which works fine so by the time it is released it will have that.

Electrum will probably not support Bitcoin Gold. And there are no trusted wallets at the moment that can actually import your private keys which can work in all platforms (for example, I do have a Mac). Therefore you should wait.
