Title: Bitcoin Gold Explorer problem using Bitcoin address before fork. Post by: bber2343 on November 26, 2017, 01:43:06 AM When I type in my bitcoin address for a paper wallet established before the fork, I expect to see the same amount of BTG as I had BTC in that wallet. But, the Bitcoin Gold explorer doesn't recognize the address. Does anyone know what the problem is? The paper wallet's address is: 15R8nVATQzSpp7tHMdAwQBcPimNTYXNz2J It has .0006 Bitcoin, established on 8/27/17. But, when I type this address into the Bitcoin Gold explorer at:
https://btgexp.com/, which I got from coinmarketcap.com, it doesn't recognize the address. It says it doesn't recognize the address.

Title: Re: Bitcoin Gold Explorer problem using Bitcoin address before fork. Post by: bber2343 on November 26, 2017, 02:48:44 PM I normally wouldn't bother, but I have other wallets too. I posted that wallet
precisely because it is so small. By the way, another explorer at https://btgexplorer.com does display the correct balance, but it displays a different address from the one I typed in. This worries me when I actually import the private key. Will it work or suffer the same address translation problem? I became aware that Bitcoin Gold uses different addresses. Why wasn't this discussed in the FAQ on Bitcoin Gold's website? This is so frustrating. And why hasn't anyone presented guidance on this issue for paper wallet holders? |
