Bitcoin Forum

Any bitcoins (BTC) held in your Bitcoin wallet at the time the fork occurs will grant you an equal amount of BTG. This applies only if you have access to the private keys of your wallet, so no exchange wallets apply.
Although the fork will occur on October 25, exchanges are likely to only open Bgold for trading one week later on November 1. This allows time for technical issues to be resolved by all participants.
Right now, no clear instructions are available for how to split your BTC from your BTG. Exchanges and software/hardware wallets are still deciding on whether they’ll support this fork.
If you participated in the Bitcoin Cash split, the procedure will be similar—though likely smoother, as exchanges and wallets have had practice and more preparation time. As always, the most important thing to do is safeguard your Bitcoin private keys, as BTC’s value is far higher than BTG’s.

I thought Bittrex was supporting the fork ?...

I will wait till there's an official announcement from the developers from Bitcoin Gold. If anything it would be the same as claiming Bitcoin Cash...We just have to use another wallet.
Thanks anyway.

Now there is more awareness about how the fork works, and different from the panic generated prior to BCash when people wouldn't know was going to happen and bitcoin dropped to $1880, people and exchanges are aware and more prepared, I even received an email from an exchange stating that they will support the fork and issue the same amount of BGold in a different wallet automatically at the fork (Brasiliex), and probably this will become the trend the next few days.

I heard that bitgrail will support the BTG fork. I just hope that it is true because thats where i currently trading.

there's a process on this claiming the bitcoin gold, there's a bitcoin wallet for to use and the one i now is Ethereum if you are registered you must save the private key, and the code for the safety of your bitcoin gold.

If you really believe that bitcoin gold is going to worth something and then having the bitcoin in a wallet that you own the private key will be the safest option. This will guarantee that you will are entitled to bitcoin gold. Usually, Exchange and wallet will only start supporting the fork if there are strong community support for it.

If someone wanna avoid Private Keys complications, the easiest way to claim BCG is via Yobit. Yobit has already declared that it will be supporting Bitcoin Gold.
All you need to do is to send your Bitcoins in Yobit wallet. Wait for Bitcoin Gold listing and you will immediately get BCG in your Yobit wallet where you can immediately sell it for Bitcoins.
Yobit Timer of BCG listing: https://yobit.net/en/bitcoingold/timer/

freebitco.in (faucet-dice-site) also somewhat support bitcoin gold
you can get your bitcoin gold share by having bitcoin balance in your freebitco.in at the fork time
and you can withdraw it after the hard fork to any exchanger or wallet you desire
so before the hard fork date, you could deposit your BTC there and treat the site as temporary wallet
meanwhile waiting for the fork to happen, you will also get around 0.01% daily interest of your BTC balance

Yeah please let me get my valuable bitcoins and send them to yobit of all sites. That seems like the nut worst idea I dont even care if I get bitcoingold then. If you have your private keys which every

body should have wait for the bitcoingold to get dropped there or supported there. It isnt worth risking your real bitcoin for something that will be gone and forgotten about pretty soon

In electrum also I noticed that expecting private key to seek the bitcoin gold reward for the bitcoin I saved. Yobit will gonna add the bitcoin gold in their trading and already they started  their timer to run in their site.
Bitcoin gold is supporting here and there is no issues in trusting bitcoin gold since you are me supporting still the bitcoin cash.

such titles were opened in the previous "fork" wave. it will be so now how it has been done before. they have probably started to work on exchanges. I just think it would be enough to follow the announcements  for exchanges. I think that btcgold owners will not be allowed to withdraw money until the market is stabilized, as it was before.I still think a few fraudulent firms will emerge. we must be more careful in this regard.I hope many better days are waiting for us :)

One thing that the users need to be careful about is that there is thing called replay attack where in the user might lose his bitcoin gold when he sends bitcoin to anyone as both will be having the same private key and viceversa. Not everyone would be able to claim it but unethical hackers would try to do so it seems. Am not an expert in this thing but it would be better for you not to make any transactions during the fork unless and until you got confirmation from a trusted source.

It's your bad if you think Yobit to be a scam site. No doubt exchanges are very risky to store money but millions of dollars are daily traded on exchanges like Yobit. It's no bad to send your BTC there for a week and withdraw next week.
In this way, you will be able to trade BTG much earlier than others with private keys as they can only trade once exchanges open deposit/withdrawal of BTG which isn't seem possible before Nov 1st.

There was a huge pannic with BTH - no one lost anything. You will get your BTG safely - dont worry.

Some exchange were deciding to accept the bitcoin gold in the future such as binance and that gives the more advantages because you can try to trade your amount in the binance exchange. Before the bitcoin gold will be able to trans into another. just like bitcoin cahs.

As long as you have access to your private keys you're good. It's the safest and fastest way I know for now. Then just wait for BTG wallet support. I keep my BTCs in cold storage just to be sure. It would be wise to wait a few days (if you can) to let things settle and for feedbacks. Better be safe than sorry.

Bittrex has announced few moments ago that if you hold btc to your bittrex wallet then you will get same amount of bitcoin gold.
But they are not committed to open bitcoin gold market.
They have stated few bad points about bitcoin gold.
You can check out bittrex tweet for source.

Thanks for the share. Bittrex just officially commit to give all BTC holders their BTGs but won't list it on their exchange. There are 100,000 pre-mined BTG. So far only one solid exchange commits to list it (HitBTC).

bump to this waiting for the wallet

A big yes for coinomi wallet, and you can try to read more in this link https://coinsutra.com/bitcoin-gold/
I just think another BIG not for bittrex exchange site to distribute the bitcoin gold into the bitcoin holders. You can try to get a lot of information regarding the wallet or exchange site that already supported the bitcoin gold fork.
Jaxx and coinomi seem to be a correct place for you.

I will just wait for a wallet to be release to safely claim bitcoin gold instead of rushing because you are afraid that the price will go down once the dump happens. We should learn from the mistakes of bitcoin cash, a lot of people lost thousand or even millions of dollars claiming bitcoin cash and getting wallets claiming they will help you extract it while sending them your private keys. You can go back and you will find a lot of thread about it. Sad to hear their story. So them be greedy and have patience. Electrum wallet does not support bitcoin gold as far as I'm concern. So don't fall for someone saying they can redeem bitcoin gold with Electrum, and please don't share your private keys with anyone. If you wan't to take risk then deposit your bitcoin to Yobit.

Few hours ago Richie of Bittrex announced on his Twitter account that they are done with the snap shot of the current Bitcoin holders and the amount heing held. So I guess its safe to say that they will support Bitcoin Gold but the question is when are they going to distribute Bitcoin Gold and when are they going to allow it to be traded to Bitcoin.

there is some kind of official guide to redeem btc gold? :) through privkeys! :)?
thanks

I got my bcash like this:

1) Moved my bitcoins to another address. (newly generated)
2) Installed a VM and downloaded electron cash.
3) Imported my old priv keys into electron cash.
4) Dumped my bcash ;)

I am pretty sure this would work exactly the same with bgold but if my memory serves right the only thing bothers me is that bgold has no replay protection. And I don't know how can that harm me.

Since I always move bitcoins at the step 1, bgold lacking of RP confuses me and prevents me from taking action.

I need solid information from an experienced forum user.

I'll be waiting, but likely not taking any part in it at all. With the Cash split, btc.com launched a tool to extract your cash from other platforms that didn't support it. I imagine that something similar will appear again, providing it doesn't just completely bomb.

BTG is traded already on yobit.net

It's important to keep in mind that Bitcoin Gold forked off the original chain without replay protection! I would suggest waiting a few days (or even weeks) until the dust is settled so you don't risk your (true) Bitcoins when making any kind of transaction.

Gotta wait for the Wallet to come put, even then who in the hell trusts a wallet with your private keys? Plus, BTG is only worth $120 now lol. Not sure its even worth grabbing.

Yobit will gonna add the bitcoin gold in their trading and already they started  their timer to run in their site.

I think the safest way to claim bitcoin gold is simply to use wallets that are supporting the release of bitcoin gold. There are no more other additional tasks. You just have to simply park your Bitcoin and then wait for the wallet to give you Bitcoin Gold for free in the amount equal to the bitcoin you are storing such wallets. That was already done several hours ago, when Bitcoin Gold was officially introduced.

I have bitcoin stored in blockchain.info wallet . Does it support the current fork? How can I get the bitcoingold coin from the wallet?

agreed. i am waiting. got too much btc i dont wanna risk for a few hundred dollars

I am not sure that blockchain.info is accepting the segwit2x and gives the reward for bitcoin gold.
I have some bitcoin in the coinbase wallet and I got the notification from the coinbase support team states that bitcoin gold reward will given for the bitcoin we saved in our wallet that amount of bitcoin we saved there.

I did the exact same thing as you with BCash, sending the BCash from the ElectronWallet to Kraken and then exchanging it for BTC there.

Critical for safety is step 1 as then all your BTC is moved to new addresses which only exist on the original chain - nothing that happens on the new chain can then affect those funds. This assumes no replay has occurred.

If replay DID occur on the new chain, step 1 would be paralleled on the new chain.

NEVER do a transaction on the new chain from addresses which have BTC balances on the original chain as a replay would move these latter funds also. Always check the balances of these addresses on the original chain are zero, so no replay is possible to that chain.

With BGold if you do step 1, check it has not been replayed to the new chain. Then once a wallet supporting BGold has been found, do Step 3 with that wallet. If replay happened, then in Step 3 you would see balances of zero. If the original balances are there however, in BTG, then no replay has happened.

You can then go ahead and send these BTG funds to an exchange for conversion to BTC. No replay to original chain of this can happen - because on the original chain these address balances are zero, because you shifted the funds to new addresses in Step 1.

As well as a wallet supporting BGold we need a blockchain explorer for BGold so we can check the BTG balances of addresses. We can compare this to the balances of these same addresses on Bitcoin Blockchain.info Explorer at each stage to ensure we know exactly what's happening, and to check if replay has occurred.

If you are being attacked by replays then you need to investigate how you can counteract them, eg see below for one suggestion :-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAhgvzNEhCM

Note when you are sending funds to your own addresses, the replay attack does not cause any loss of funds since it is only being sent to yourself. If sending to a trusted honourable party then again they would likely just return you the additional funds mistakenly sent to them, so there would be no loss. Replay attack can only cause loss of funds if the receiver is NOT a trusted honourable party, and might NOT return the funds you mistakenly sent. Replay attack only sends funds to the SAME RECEIVING ADDRESS(ES) as you specified in your original transaction.

we lost a lot of opportunities to hold BTC till the snapshot !

i hope they will send us our BTG !!

I hold my btc in ledger nano s and yes, they support segwit2x
But I still don't know when will I can claim my BTG, lol.
But nice now all BTG can transfer as well without missing your btg

Worth grabbing, sure, imagine if you decide to despise every coin´s beginning. most of them don´t start so high. most of them are worth cents and still, people rush for the airdrop. maybe isn´t much but a few dollar here and there add up. I am still waiting for the setup of the wallet, but with all these people trying to dump and causing the huge plunge, I better keep mine for better days.

The securest way to gain Bitcoin Gold should be to move first Bitcoin out of the wallet. Your history will be enough, so it doesn't matter now, when wallet is empty., you although get BTG, when you had Bitcoin on it during fork.

I thought keeping bitcoin in bittrex will fetch me bitcoin gold as it gave bitcoin cash in the previous fork. but they have not yet credited bitcoin gold .i think those who had private keys with them they have claimed bitcoin gold successfully.

Does anyone actually got some BTG ? It seems that no one has. There is some trading activity in several places though.

Yes, Bittrex will deposit BTG. But they will do it when they have a working wallet. So wait for Nov 1st or later, because not the network is up yet. Here is the statement from Bittrex and they will not open a BTG market.

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002320451-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Gold-BTG-

HitBTC and Yobit is already trading BTG, because they opened a market and credited people with BTG.

Will those who had BTC on October 25th be able to claim their BTG later even if they sold their BTC today?
Will the procedure of installing a BTG node and then copy your old BTC wallet work?

Can't wait to receive mine from bittrex then,cos I left my btc on bittrex.

This one looks really really like a scam ! The official domain is https://bitcoingold.org/. btgolds.org was created 6 days ago.
The form asks for your Bitcoin Private key, don't disclose it.

It´s just like people keeping informing their private keys to and fro at every scam that appears out there. is called PRIVATE for a reason. Is mine and screw everybody else. Private keys are used to unlock the information in the wallet and to make transfers of value. People fail to understand that the private key is like the password of their bank card. If anybody did not understand this, please send me their bank card along with its password, please. I put my mailing address here.
Everyone will ask me: Are you crazy? I am not giving you my bank card with its password.
But, whenever they have the chance, they´re giving away their private keys. This is the virtual world but governed by the same rules, don´t do here what you wouldn´t do in the real world.

Any news if BGold can be claimed with Trezor or Ledger?

Gdax just sent me an email a few days ago explaining that they will give out the equivalent bitcoin in bitcoingold, so if anyone trusts them, that's a good place to do it. I know that I'm going to be getting my bitcoingold from them, since they haven't done me wrong in the past and I have faith in their business.

what the hell is going on with btg, i heard they haven't even distributed any yet. if that's true than that's ridiculous the fork was ages ago now. If i do get any eventually i'm going to straight dump this rubbish coin.

Is there a safe guide out there on how to claim Bitcoin Gold now that the replay protection was put in place?

If anyone can share the guide, please do and you will be greatly appreciated.

I think this is the latest:

https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-statement-on-bitcoin-gold-fork-78cebc0532c7

This website has been debunked several times that its a scam website to steal your coins. The point it anyone who is interested in claiming his bitcoin from any source whatsoever, be sure the link is from the official bitcoin gold website that you get the link or else, you are at the risk of losing your bitcoin and the same time your bitcoin gold. There are several scam sites on the internet looking for who to devour of his resources.

Claiming Bitcoin Gold from BTC stored in Hardware wallet ?

KeepKey / Trezor / Ledger

If we held BTC in hardware wallets - through Oct 25 : How do we get our BTG ???

I think Bittrex works,i am also waiting for the announcement.

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused about BTG claiming.

I've stored my BTC in some Paper Wallet; now... I know I've to move them before claiming (like I did with BCH), but where / how I can extract out the BTG coins from the Paper Wallet?
At now I've seen no official wallet.

Also, why in CoinMarketCap are they still classified as "Futures"? Aren't they Live?

Thx

With BCC Ledger added support the their wallets - I hope it's the same this time around.

Regretfully BTG is not as pretty as BCH, it seems to be a junk and worthless coin.
I see B2x will be superior. we wait for 2018 whether BTG really exist and valuable.

Didn't you hear?  B2X was cancelled.

Does the replay protection require that you send a minimum amount to a known "special" address? (the B2X replay protection also will require this kind of trick: B2X Opt-in Replay Protection https://bitcointechtalk.com/how-segwit2x-replay-protection-works-1a5e41767103 )

Or is it a "built-in" protection, i.e. like with Bitcoin Cash, you just send your coins without worrying because the blockchain is not linked to BTC

Didn't you hear?  B2X was cancelled.

Is there somebody who used bitcoin core 0.15.1 to claim his BTG, because I need some help?

But canceled for now, not permanently.

Anyway that's not important, we were talking about replay protection for BTG.

I wanted to ask if you need special tricks for it to work , or you can just send the coins like they are separate blockchains? ( not affecting each other )

From what I understand Bitcoin Gold has implemented full replay protection, equivalent to Bitcoin Cash.

The wallet I use, Trezor, posted they would not support Bitcoin Gold until they implemented replay protection.  Since they did implement it to the satisfaction of Trezor they have now posted they will soon support it.  As soon as they push out a new version of the firmware for the Trezor wallet with Bitcoin Gold support I expect to claim my Bitcoin Gold as easily as I claimed my Bitcoin Cash and then I will have to decide what to do with it:  sell or hold.  It is JAAC (Just Another Alt Coin) so I may sell it all.  On the other hand I may buy some for my IRA as a long term hold just for the heck of it.

Yes i did it with the bitcoin core client. see also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2412870
How can i help you?
