Title: How to claim Bitcoin Gold without downloading entire Blockchain (135gb)?
Post by: Alexa5563 on November 26, 2017, 07:11:49 AM
How do I claim Bitcoin Gold without downloading the entire blockchain by using the official bitcoin gold wallet?
I did not put my bitcoins before and after the fork on a plattform except my electrum wallet.

Is there any other way to claim my btc gold without downloading the entire blockchain which requires over 135gb of space?

there are mobile wallets that are currently supporting bitcoin gold, you can use them to import your private keys and spend the BTG in them.
i have not done it myself but people are saying they did it easily with Coinomi wallet.

you can also see the rest of the wallets here: https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

but i suggest not trusting anything coming out of Bitcoin Gold team meaning official wallet or the web wallets they list on their website. they have already released 2 scams (1 fake web wallet and 1 malware in their official wallet). they are not to be trusted.

Yes, I agree on these. You may see many hype about where you can easily claim your bitcoin Gold, but it is best to only  trust the provided information on legit wallets from this forum.

If you want to get these things, you can put your currency directly on the exchange and put it on the exchange, and the exchange will help you deal with these things, so you don't have to download it.
