Title: Help with bitcoin gold fork explorer
Post by: Dadan on May 02, 2021, 05:22:55 PM
So, I've some bitcoin before the fork happens. So I decided to check my BTG using this explorer that i found online https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin%20gold/

But when I check all my addresses that have BTG transaction it shows like this

Is that normal? or all my BTG had gone? Im using Electrum wallet and haven't even moved my BTG coins since then.

Is there a way to claim my BTG coins?

I'm thinking it could be replay protected. Try to find a converter online that can convert your address or test it in an electrum gold wallet with one if your private keys. You might find it has funds that way.



Edit: the new address could be the one the funds have been sent to, what does it begin with? "G"?

Try this BTG block explorer:
https://explorer.bitcoingold.org/insight/
I believe it's more user friendly. However, you have to enter the converted BTG address starting with G as it doesn't recognize btc addresses.

To claim the BTGs, move any left bitcoins on your address to a new wallet then import your seed/private keys into a wallet that supports bitcoin gold such as ElectrumG or Coinomi.

You can use this tool to convert a bitcoin address to its corresponding bitcoin gold address:

I tried to follow your solution with my old seed phrase and it show like this

I don't think my Electrum wallet before was hacked as its has strong password + I never store my private keys nor seed in my PC

What do you think this happen?

Can you please retake the screenshot when the wallet has fully synchronized so that we can see those other transactions that are showing as "Not verified"

Try checking your Bitcoin address also using this site to see if there are any fork coins left https://findmycoins.ninja/

Something is not right, check through the addresses generated in the electrumG wallet (click on addresses) and see if any of them matches the BTG address that was a result of conversion from Bitcoin address.
