This coin is a very interesting! 

You won't be able to use deserialize() and gettransaction() as, like I said, it won't exist on the Bitcoin network as this "hybrid fork" created its own "funding transactions".

However, that explorer you linked to is nice enough to deserialize the raw transaction for you, You can use the link: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btx/tx.dws?151581.htm#raw and click the "Raw Transaction" tab. You'll see the same info that you would get from the deserialize(gettransaction()).

Thanks for confirming that you don't need to have it synced... that will be very useful for anyone else who needs to claim.


Theoretically yes... Try reading: https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@xwerk/bitcore-btx-guide-the-2nd-snapshot-for-btc-hodlers-free-btx-or-how-it-works

Basically, it's the same process as with BitcoinGold... createrawtransction and signrawtransaction... It's just finding the correct inputs etc is slightly more difficult as they are completely different transaction IDs due to Bitcore being a so-called "hybrid fork" where they manually created the transactions to credit coins to addresses etc

I'm not even sure if you need to have BitcoinGold Core fully synced to be able to create the transaction or not... Have you tried doing it now while you wait for the sync to complete? There is no harm in trying to create the raw transaction... at worst it just won't work.

The only downside to not syncing, is that if you use a BTG receive address generated by your copy of BitcoinGold Core, you won't be able to see your coins until it is fully synced... but you can create the transaction to send to any BTG address, it doesn't have to be from your copy of BTG Core, so you can send to an exchange address etc.

Seems like a bad quote there...

Did the explorer not allow you to broadcast the transaction? So you had to download BitcoinGold Core? If so, that sucks...

Fuck..I'm downloading it now. 150GB and slowwww, it will probably take me at least 7 days.

Weird... I would not have expected that... what happens if you just use: gettransaction("TXID_HERE")

Does it still crash? or do you get the raw transaction hex? if you get the hex... put it into: https://coinb.in/#verify (it will give you the same info as derserialize(), txid, address, amount, scriptpubkey, and you can calculate the vout by counting which "output" it is, starting at 0)

It's called a change address. You can learn more here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change

I highly suggest trying to learn more about how Bitcoin works, because it will help you from freaking out/making small mistakes.

0.27298966 - 0.26861186 = 0.0043778

The blockchain link you provided shows the net of the transaction was 0.0043778.

I suggest you look at the transactions in electrum, look for a receive address matching that displayed by blockchain.

It's probably a change address used by the wallet. Change addresses are what allows you to not only spend large chunks of Bitcoin at once. Unless your balance has decreased more than you expected it, you should be fine.
