Hello there I have 0.4 bitcoins in my electrum wallet right now.... how can I get the bitcoingold airdrop from that

Just hold your bitcoins on a wallet that you hold the private key and since you are using electrum just wait for a wallet that supports bitcoin gold to be able to move it. If you have bitcoins on exchanges that supports it it will automatically credited to your account.

It is easy for you. Just keep holding those coins. When there will bitcoin gold wallet you will try to open up your private key on it. It will show your bitcoin gold that you can use.
For your safety you may carry your bitcoin to another adress before using private key AFTER fork is completed.

You did it right

Just hold the bitcoin in your electrum wallet, don't hold it in exchange/online wallet because majority of them don't provide you the private key of your wallet.

Hold it in wallet that you had access to private key :)

Just like I did when I have my own BCH, I just keep in my local exchanger.
I'm heard that yobit and bittrex will support BTG so you can try to move some bits into those exchanger , of course with your own risk.

i see on yobit exchange have support bitcoin gold , you can send your bitcoin to yobit exchange

i think you can get bitcoin gold , but 23-10-2017 yobit disable  withdraw and deposit  bitcoin ,hurry up

BitcoinGold isn't airdrop, it is rather a hard fork.
Don't think any institution or company gonna fill your address with those tokens. It will automatically be credited to your address. But if you wanna access your tokens, you must have private keys of your address.
As you have BTC in Electrum, do make new wallet on Electrum and send your Bitcoins there before fork. Once fork over, your new wallet will have both BTC and BTG. Now firstly send Bitcoins back to your old wallet and then use private keys of new wallet in BTG wallet to access your BTG. That's it.

Just keep the 0.4 bitcoins in the electrum wallet and you should be fine. When a stable wallet comes around the corner that supports bitcoin gold you will be able to access your bitcoin gold by importing your private keys. And of course you can decide what you will do with your free bitcoin gold from there.
Just to be safe I would recommend sending your normal bitcoin to another address before importing your private keys into the bitcoin gold wallet. Better safe than sorry, it might save you 2.3 grant.

As mentioned above, probably the easiest way for everyone is to send bitcoins to exchange which will support bitcoingold and give you coins as it was the easiest way with bitcoincash. I got bitcoincash from yobit, exchanged them back to bitcoin and withdraw, although some could say yobit isn't exchange which can be trusted  :-\

if you have 0,4 btc, can you still get btg? isn't it mandatory to have at least 1 btc?

user will got new btg on btg wallet auto when the fork begin on btc blockchain.

Very simple. You only need to hold Btc in your wallet until October 25th; By November 1 you will receive a BTG in your wallet with 1 BTC: 1 BTG. Ok. Wait.
You can also keep them in poloniex, bittrex, ... just have BTC.

To my knowledge, at present, all information about receiving Bitcoin Gold is still unclear. Hardfork has a few more days to come, so we have to wait until then to know exactly. But you peace of mind, you use the Electrum purse is a good choice, the great possibility is that Electrum will also support Bitcoin Gold after it was born. It is now time to keep your private key and Bitcoin number very careful, do not let anyone know that, it will be needed for receiving Bitcoin Gold.

thanks for all the responses...one more question now...how much bitcoingold will i get

Bitfinex and yobit say they will hold BitcoinGold. Have not heard that you need to hold at least 1bitcoin to get similar in bitcoigold.

No, the blockchain cares not - you just get 1:1.

Hi, i have my bitcoins on a blockchain wallet, what must happen for me to receive BTG?

Just make sure your BTC is in a wallet where you hold your private keys. Even if the wallet doesn't support the fork, you will still be able to obtain BTG by transferring to a wallet that does support the fork.

You will get exactly what you have stored in your wallet. In your case, 0.4 BTC is stored on electrum wallet and you will get 0.4 BTG after the hard fork. It will neither increase nor decrease in amount unless there will be a transaction on the btc address where you hold your bitcoin now. If you will spend some, you will get less and if you add more btc, you will get more. It works by giving everyone who have bitcoin now with 1:1 ratio ending with users having the same amount of btc on the two blockchains.

There is no Bitcoin Gold airdrop. It is not an airdrop that they are doing. It will be done like Bitcoin Cash. Where are you storing your Bitcoins right now? The exchanges that committed to give away free Bitcoin Gold include Bittrex, Yobit, HitBTC, Kraken, and some others that I have yet to hear. But in Bittrex, deposits and withdrawals involving Bitcoin are not allowed anymore. So you better try the other exchanges mentioned.

Last time when the BCH launched I had some bitcoins in Bittrex after launching this coin, they deposited the same amount of BCH coins so this time also they give Bit Gold, but now we don't have access to deposit bitcoins.

Also can anyone inform that does block chain support the bitcoin gold or no? And if they do then how many days will it take to credit them and can it be sold immediately or you will have to wait for some no of days and then only it can be sold?

Bitcoin gold is looking worse and worse unfortunately. I dont really care about the premine, I just dont know if the replay protection they are claiming exists. The code doesnt seem to be that open and different implementations (one that removes the premine) are fighting for supremacy. I guess we will see what happens in the next week.

There is no airdrop but just hold your coins on the exchanges that support Bitcoingold like Yobit and Bittrex.

First things first, you should know if electrum wallet is accepting or supporting the fork. If you wanted to take benefit from the fork, you should store your bitcoins into a exchanger or a wallet that accepts the fork. If your wallet is not supporting the fork, sorry but you can't benefit from fork. So right now, you have 2 days to search on different exchanges if they accepts the fork. I recommend bittrex ;)

How to get bitcoin gold is backup your btc to your wallet who have a private key and there's some exchanger will give you btc gold if you hold your coin on their site. Like on my country exchanger who give btc gold free is vip.bitcoin. So the conclusion is according from the site of exchanger.

Hold your coins on Yobit, Bittrex or you personal bitcoin wallet.

So i will receive BTG automatically?

You may just keep them at electrum and import private keys to some official wallet after the hardfork, it's ok. But I suppose you could not get the highest price doing this way. My advice is to move your BTC at Yobit or Hitbtc exchange.

Bittrex is already doing this for you automatically. If you send Bitcoin in your to Bittrex they will give you bitcoin gold as bitcoin. All you need to do is transfer Bitcoin to Bittrex.

I am also interested about BTG and I am confused on how we can get it but thanks for your brief explanation I already know what I need to do.

Keep up the good work. Goodluck to each and everyone of us and I am hoping to get some BTG once fork is over.

Electrum wallet is a decentralized wallet and you have access to your private keys, so you are very much on the right track. So, just keep your funds in your wallet and after the fork, you will be guided or you can look for resources online on how to get your forked coin making use of your private key.

no bro it's not necessary, the resulting ratio is 1:1 meaning if you have 0.5btc you will be credited with 0.5btg

hi Lordshiva .
You have three options...
If you have bitcoin in your wallet and you can access to your private key, you will be able to get bitcoin gold in the appropriate wallet.
If you have bitcoin on Exchange and it will manage the fork, you will find the right bitcoin gold balance directly on Exchange.
If you have bitcoin on Exchange and it will not participate to manage the fork, you will lose your opportunity to get bitcoin gold. I hope you had withdrawn it before the bitcoingold snapshot!!

cheers!

Are you sure you need it?

Hi guys, please a little help OT. I'm not interested in BTG but I'm more interested in the november fork. My btc are deposited in an electrum wallet. Exporting my secret keys I get 35 different keys... Could I use all of them to get the segwit btc version or should I use exactly one? What to do with 35 keys? Thanks

how does it work please give me the information ?
thank you

This is a very wrong move. He already has one of the best wallet he is keeping his coin and you are suggesting an exchange to him and worst part, yobit ? He should just relax and wait for the fork to be over so he can make control the funds himself to get his BTG. However, the decisions is apparently in his hands.

I want to know does blockchain supported the gold or no. Did any one received any information from them or else do you know if they supported will they credit in their wallet or is there any procedure to get the btc gold from them?

you can trade it now. tends to bitcoin gold is weakening. and I'm sure bitcoin gold will have value in the future.

You cant trade it yet. As far as I remember you can start trading on Nov-1.

Just save your bitcoin and you will get bitcoin gold.
 You will get bitcoin gold as much as your bitcoin amount. or in other words a 1: 1 ratio
But i think now is late because in yobit and hitbtc they have shared bitcoin gold.
