Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys, I would like to ask you, what are the best wallet for receiving BTG or support BTG?
And is BTG is just like an airdrop that will come to you when you have BTC?

I too have the same doubt regarding bitcoingold hardfork. I have plans to buy bitcoin and would like to ask if electrum wallet is enough and if so do I need to do anything or keep calm until the hardfork happens.Actually I would like to know what is snapshot and all?

What is important is you know private key of the address you are holding your bitcoins in that. You can import it into a proper wallet whenever you want.

As long as you hold your bitcoin private keys then you are eligible to claim your shares. Best examples are; Electrum, MyCelium etc.

Just wait for more further and clear instructions on how to claim your BCG shares prior and after the fork because surely it will popped up everywhere.

As Far i read here, they said that if you spend Bitcoin Gold it will also deduct on your Bitcoin wallet, I hope someone can enlighten me , It's my plan to spent my bitcoin gold to buy bitcoins. Please someone enlighten me.

There aren't any offical wallets released yet.
If you have ownership of your private keys, then you are good to go. EX electrum wallet is fine!

Thats not true, they are working on replay protection as we speak so these things won't happen.
If you are worried, you can always send your BTC to another adress, and use your private keys from the now emptied wallet adress to receive your BTCG.
Good luck

between the online wallets choose blockchain.info, you will have the seed and you will can have access to your BTG manually

I have the same questions too. It seems that not all wallets support this kind of change. Hope I can get a list of all the wallets where we can get BTCG if we have BTC.

Where did you get this information? Can you please link the official statement from them? Thank you.

To hold em all of your bitcoin to receive your bitcoin gold and i just try to suggest you to use the recommended party just like binance exchange site and why? because still there is no more update regarding about the official wallet to receive your bitcoin gold. You can try to follow the more update from the official twitter account of the bitcoin gold and here's the link https://twitter.com/bitcoingold?lang=en
In my opinion, just try to learn from the bitcoin cash and the early hype should be very big hype.

create your own wallet and private key by vanity generator.
then you can access your bitcoin golds easyly. don't use web based wallets don't forget the safiest way is a cold wallet.

Blockchain.info supported bitcoin cash, so somehow it would support bitcoin gold too. Blockchain.info lets you hold your private key and as far as i know, your bitcoin's​ private key is the private key also of your bitcoin gold. If need more information this site might help you. https://btcgpu.org . They mentioned some wallets out there.

No BTG wallet yet?
I need to get btg from blockchain.info but waiting for a btg wallet

Coinomi is pretty solid and they are rolling out BTG as we speak...

im looking for the same problem too... i want to store my BTG but i cant find any wallet. i cant store it in any trading site cause its not mine if i cant manage it so i did some research. I think Coinomi is the best wallet because you can hold your own keys and even exchange inside its system. But it has some controversies, but still a great wallet to use. you can try it

you can always use cold storage options such as paper wallet!
the good news is that bitcoin gold is the same as bitcoin where it counts (keys) so you can easily use a secure tool which is tested and trusted like bitaddress.org and generate a random private key offline.

then simply convert your address to a BTG address.
you can use the bitcoin gold explorer to do that!

HolyTransaction a purse that supports all popular crypto-currencies Bitcoin, Lightcoin, Darkoin, Blackcoin and others
The best thing about it is the convenience of using seven crypto-currencies at the same time, the ability to select the right monetary units from the list, instant transfers between the currencies inside the depository. I use it. The only thing in the US it can not be used,

Yes there is no official wallet from Bitcoin gold, so I am saving my BTG in Bittrex site if you have an account in Bittrex you can save it here or else Binance is also safe site. I think Blockchain will list this coin very soon if it happens then we can store our coins in the blockchain.

For me Exodus wallet is the best choice. Easy to use an if you want to exchange your BTG for a range of other coins you can do it right there with no problems.
