Title: Pre-Fork preparations Post by: Mr.Vice on October 18, 2017, 07:53:35 PM Are there any preparations needed to be done for the upcoming forks?
Because I assume that the Armory specific address type P2SH-P2PK should be avoided in case that Armory doesn't support one of the forks. Or are there any other possibilities to import the private keys of such addresses into any other wallet than Armory? Kind regards, Mr.Vice Title: Re: Pre-Fork preparations Post by: goatpig on October 18, 2017, 10:42:59 PM No, don't use those if you plan on exporting your private keys in the future.

Kind regards, Mr.Vice The FAQ page for Bitcoin Gold is really helpful. http://btcgpu.org/faq/ From their website: What wallet should I keep my BTC in to make sure I get my free BTG? Any secure Bitcoin wallet that gives the user exclusive control of the cryptographic private keys is a suitable location to store your coins prior to the October 25 fork. Some wallets may offer you direct access to your BTG, while others may require you to take additional technical steps. Verified wallets that support BTC and BTG side-by-side will be listed on the Bitcoin Gold home page. We will publish guides for retrieving BTG from the most popular wallets, including Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Mycelium, hardware wallets, paper wallets, and more. |
