Bitcoin Gold signer

[bk1041]

Hi, 

What bounty would be required to get Bitcoin Gold Signer implemented?   I stupidly used Armory-specific P2SH-P2PK addresses (because I didn't know they were Armory specific) and it's not possible to export these to bitcoin-gold core implementation.

I would happily contribute to bounty.  Would $500 (in LTC or BTC equivalent) make it happen?

Thanks!!

Goatpig has stated that he plans to add a BTG signer.

I saw goatpig's comment in the thread you refer to

> Armory is not for altcoins. I provided a BCH signer so that people can get their coins out. I will provide a BTG signer to the same end.

But I haven't found any info about which release it will be in. 
Is there any info on that?

goatpig:  If I donate could I incentivize you to put it in 0.96.4?

I'll pitch in $500 in BTC to be able to get rid of my BTG in 0.96.4!

Not really. BTG is too intrusive so it will be a binary on its own. At the same time I'm due work for other stuff, so I can't do BTG first thing. Sometimes next week maybe.

OK, cool.   If you finish an executable by the end of next week I'll definitely stick to $500 in BTC donation.  Just post a link on this thread and your BTC payment address.   -b

I don't accept donations.

OK.  Does Armory have any bounty system at all so that other contributors could help get features implemented and you can verify/merge?

You can start one on your own if there is a feature you're really after. I'm wouldn't take charge on that stuff atm, too busy.

Hello. I just found this program by Jimmy Song, a former Armory dev. As I understand things, if you export your private keys (WIF format), you can use this code to sign transactions for various forks, including Gold.

I HAVE NOT USED THIS PROGRAM. I think Jimmy's a great dev, and he's been cool when I've met up with him. I also haven't reviewed the code. I don't think he'd be the kind of guy to do things like upload private keys to some server in Uzbekistan where he can then use the keys to clean out your regular bitcoins. I'm just saying that I offer this as a data point for anybody too impatient to wait for goatpig. If you use this program, it's at your own risk, and you'll probably have to figure everything out yourself. (At a brief glance, documentation is paltry beyond this tweet and a minimal README in the repo.)

Be extemely careful!   The moment you have exported just one private key, you have compromised your Armory wallet.  Move all BTC out of it and into a new wallet before attempting anything like this.

Yeah, that's cool. Thanks for the link.  It was very useful to go through the code.  If I understand it correctlly, you just need to run spend_all_tx with your private keys.  But it doesn't work with p2sh-p2pk script addresses at the moment.  I think that might be pretty easy to add though.

*Warning*
As others mention don't even think about this if you haven't moved your funds off of your private keys before playing with this.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't dare use this if the keys also touched any actual bitcoins I had. I'm just giving an option to those who are desperate to make a quick buck off the people dumb enough to think Gold and all the other variants have any sort of future beyond being the equivalent of penny stocks (assuming the dev teams don't just crash and burn).

How's it going with the Bitcoin Gold binary? Is it done soon? (or is it already done?)

[jojo69]

is that still a thing?

edit/ $115 per...huh...who knew?

[goatpig]

I'm like... busy with other stuff... also I'm lazy! Soon (tm).
