Title: [HELP] Not able to redeem BTG
Post by: simple_guy on December 05, 2017, 12:51:51 PM
I had stored my bitcoins in an Electrum wallet before the fork. I have the public key and the private key but not able to redeem BTG

I have tried:

1. Copying private key into coinomi
2. Private Key WIF QR code into coinomi
3. Private key WIF Compressed QR code into coinomi
4. Electrum seed into coinomi 5 .Removed 2 fact auth and encryption from electrum and see the private key

My public key starts with: 36E
My private key starts with: L3BV

I don't know if my address is segwit or non-segwit

Kindly advice on what I should do next

According to coinsutra (https://coinsutra.com/claim-bitcoin-gold-btg/), Coinomi doesn't yet support SegWit addresses (starting with a 3).
If you're in a rush, you'll need to find another wallet (but I have a hard time trusting anything related to Bitcoin Gold). If you're not in a rush, you can wait until Coinomi supports SegWit somewhere in the future.
