Hi all,

will Armory support the new Bitcoin Gold after the fork?

Thank you and have a great night!

Cheers

It looks like too many things are changing for Bitcoin Gold support, so no, probably not.

Have not looked at it. Unless they become relevant, I most likely won't be looking.

I see, thanks guys. I should still be able to make them accessible when holding my BTC in a private wallet right?

You can in principle export all your private keys from Armory into a Bitcoin Gold wallet, and then spend them.  Just be aware that this compromises your Armory wallet, so you should first create a new Armory wallet and move all your BTC from the old one to the new one, before exporting the keys.  And of course you should do this after the fork.  But let us first see if Bitcoin Gold is going to have any value whatsoever, many are sceptical.

And you may want to wait till after the Segwit2x fork happens, and get all three coins in one go - assuming that the forks actually happen, of course.

Cheers gangtraet,

you're right. Yes, I'm aware, that I have to create a new wallet once i exported the private keys. I'll do it your way :)

Segwit is already supported in the latest version right? No need to export the private keys then.
