maybe we should also do a Bitcoin Platin fork 

i was also scared, so i installed the BTG-Client in an virtual machine

funny suggestion, but never give your private keys out of your hands and please if you have also some bitcoins on that private keys, move them away

You find the BTG-Wallet on the official site https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/ ... its there for about 1 week now

maybe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2412870 help also

yes you can import keys like in any other Full Node Crypto-Client.
for safety reasons is it always recommended to move your bitcoins to a new encrypted wallet and import keys that should only have some btg on it.
yes you need the whole blockchain.
here i wrote a little tutorial for the official btg-client https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2412870.0

i got my btg from importing private keys to the BTG-client. see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2412870.0

i used the full node client

You can find the official wallet here https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

i belive you, but i can only repeat myself.
the btg-developer and btg as a whole cant control 3rdParty sites,wallets or pools.
its not so difficult to get a valid certificate. you not even have to pay for a valid certificate

Why you put your private keys into an online website? the btg-developers cant control every 3rdParty-Platform. even if its opensource, nobody knows what they finaly host
the only save wallet for now is to sync your own BTG-Node and import your private keys there.

i would recommend for now to only use the original wallet from https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/ .
for pools i did not have any recommendation. there are a lot of pools listed on the website of BTG.
the only exchange i tried right now is hitbtc (https://hitbtc.com/), where it was no problem to deposit and withdraw btg

I only tried HitBTC. There was no Problem to Deposit and Withdraw BTG.

Yes i did it with the bitcoin core client. see also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2412870
How can i help you?

It need about 180GB of space and take about 5 hours. see also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2412870

Hey People,

I did not find any nice Tutorial how to run a Full BTG Node, so i decided to write my own

Download and extract the Client
You can Download the Full Client of BTG from https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/.
The Link to the Linux Version is currently https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/releases/download/0.15.0.1/bitcoingold-0.15.0-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.zip

Start Client and sync to Block 491407 (from Bitcoin-Blockchain)
On First start of the Client you get asked where the Data should be stored (Blockchain, wallet ...). Default is $HOME/.bitcoingold. You need at least 180GB of free space .
Until Block 491407 is in sync you need the "-bootstrap" Option, so the client connects to normal bitcoin-nodes on Port 8333. The sync to Block 491407 take about 5 hours.
You can speed it up if you run a Full Bitcoin-Node and use the "-connect=ipofnode:portofnode" Option or download as torrent


When Block 491407 is reached you should close the client and wait until the shutdown-warning disapears.

Sync the rest of the new BTG-Blockchain
Now you should remove the files "peers.dat" and "banlist.dat", because they have only stored informations from bitcoin-nodes.
Wait until all is in sync.

Dump Bitcoin private keys
On an BitcoinClient where you had some Bitcoins before the Fork (October 24, 6 am UTC), dump your wallet.
You can Dump your wallet from the Client if you go to the Help => Debug - Menu and open the console and type
If you have an encrypted wallet (highly recommended) you need to unlock your wallet first with
For safety reasons it is highly recommended that you move your Bitcoins to a new encrypted Wallet, before you import the private keys to the BTG-Wallet.

Import private Keys to BTG-Client
On the BTG-Client you should also get into console (Help => Debug - Menu) and import all keys with an label and all change keys.
If you import an key, normaly an rescan is initiated (needs about 40 minutes). To prevent this you should add " '' false" after every import-command.
Only on the last import set the value to true.
If you have an encrypted wallet (highly recommended) you need to unlock your wallet first with

If you want to Support the BTG-Network please open the Port 8338 on your Router and Firewall, so People can Download the Blockchain a bit quicker .

I hope this Tutorial will help some interested People. If you have any Questions, please ask.
