Title: Bitcoin gold wallet for linux
Post by: ghrunda on August 18, 2020, 08:36:43 PM
I saw that electrumG isn't avalible for linux. And I doesn't want to run a full node with BTG core wallet. Is there any other safe wallet for linux?

You should be able to run ElectrumG "from source" in Linux... (tested using Ubuntu 18.04)

Download or clone the github repo: https://github.com/BTCGPU/electrum

Then, in the "base" folder created from that (where "setup.py" is located):

Install the dependencies:
Code:
sudo python3 setup.py install


Compile the icons:
Code:
pyrcc5 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py
NOTE: if you get an error regarding pyrcc5 not being available... you'll probably need to run: sudo apt install pyqt5-dev-tools


Start ElectrumG:
Code:
./electrumg

NOTE: I make no guarantees that this wallet is "safe"... it hasn't been updated in over 2 years! :o :o :o

Other options are the following multicurrency wallets that are available on Linux OS but beware they are not open source except guarda wallet.
1. Coinomi Wallet - https://www.coinomi.com
2. Guarda Wallet - https://guarda.com
3. Atomic Wallet - https://atomicwallet.io
4. Jaxx Liberty - https://jaxx.io
5. Exodus - https://www.exodus.io

All support BTG. Do some background checks before using any.
