hi,
i'm posting this again here (this time in electrum!), in the hope someone can help.
I have btc in my electrum wallet on my android latop.
How do i get the private key from the seed, to claim my bitcoin gold? Claiming bitcoin cash was easy, because of the electron cash wallet.
I can't find a way to get the private key, and there is no wallet out there which will accept my electrum seed to credit me with bitcoin gold. All the advice and directions online only refer to the windows / mac electrum wallets, and the android version is a completely different interface, with much less features So, i have 2 questions:
1. please help me get my private key!?
2. is there a way of claiming my bitcoin gold using my seed only?

You cannot do this on your Android device.

Open electrum on your computer after downloading it an input your seed. Once you input the seed, go to wallet>show addresses, right click addresses with bcg in them and click "show private key".
You can do a bul export but that won't be as safe as doing it on only the addresses you need.

It isn't going to change the answers that you got in your previous thread in Tech Support... You CANNOT get private keys out of Android Electrum. The functionality just isn't there.

I've already answered this in your original thread... you need to modify the BIP39 mnemonic code converter tool so it works with Electrum seeds... and use a derivation path of m/0 and m/1

You realise BTG hasn't even gone live yet right? Not until Nov 12... so there is NO BTG to even claim or be credited with... Roll Eyes

See your original thread... if this is beyond your capabilities, then wait for BTG devs to put our their BTG version of Electrum.

Wait until the BTG devs put out their BTG fork version of Electrum...
