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.... Embarrassed


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?

UPDATE: Did I lose my BTG forever?

Ok now I'm totally confused, did I lose my BTG forever? Because --- I just imported my private key from my Mac electrum wallet which contained the "3" address and I imported the associated private key to my Dell PC Electrum wallet and created a new wallet through the standard set up and imported my private key.... now my private key that was on my Mac has a "1" address... but when I look up the "1" address the explorer doesn't return a result... but when I go back to view my "3" address I still see the BTG


Did I lose it forever since my new electrum wallet reassigned my private key to a "1" address? Angry Angry Angry

Hi you did not loose the coins,  you only have to wait to coinomi wallet, they are working actually in support segwit and multisig address, you can see more info here:

https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000017747-i-can-t-sweep-my-btg-private-key

it only need some time and you will be capable of get back your BTG´s
