Hi - does anyone know how to retrieve BTG through an electrum wallet containing a segwit address - "3" address?
I've downloaded the BTG core wallet and followed a wiki step by step on how to "importprivkey" and it returned a null message. I checked my transactions / balance within the BTG core wallet and it did not transfer my BTG coins from the private key. What's going on? Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible somebody already transferred it? I looked it up on the blockchain (public address) and it said there was BTG. How do I know if someone transferred it or something?
When I do:
importprivkey xGgCvhjaxxxxx98WDxvb MyExample
It doesn’t pull any balance for me or a transaction history.
On my other computer, I had x amount of BTC at the time of the fork. My address on that one began with a “1” and I was able to recover my BTG through coinomi. However — when I try through my Mac, my electrum wallet public address begins with a “3” and coinomi doesn’t recognize it.... idk what else to do and it’s driving me crazy because not even the BTG core wallet pulls anything besides null and 0 transactions....
Should I recreate a new wallet on my Dell PC that has the 1 address with the private keys from my mac that has a 3 address? Will this do anything?
