BitcoinGold and Electrum

[usd]

In the case of creating BITCOINGOLD/BTG/ is Electrum going to use the same way as was used with BITCOINCASH/BCC/?
Will there be similar software available to Electron Cash?

No one can know yet.

BCH has a considerably large community, which resulted in the quick development of a Electrum fork and other wallets for their chain. Meanwhile, I don't see any community around the Bitcoin Gold fork. If the dev doesn't hire someone or make a fork himself, I don't see too many people taking their time to make a fork for the BCG chain.

I want to know it but it seems that no one still doesn't know how to export your electrum wallet to generate the split coin of bitcoin gold.

No one really knows if it will be the same as bitcoin cash or not, we just have to wait for the tech experts here on forum on what procedures and software that we need to install.

Just keep on watching on the news section that can be found at the left top of this forum's page and wait if theymos has figured it out.

Electrum is an open source wallet and the Electrum servers are run by individuals (they are bitcoin nodes specific for Electrum).
as far as i know Electrum developer (ThomasV) have never made any fork of his project for any altcoins. others make these forks and create Electrum for their altcoins. like "pooler" forking Electrum for LTC.

the same thing will be true for any other altcoin. for BTG, someone has to fork Electrum and make a new version for that Electrum-BTG for example and then people have to start running Electrum servers for BTG so that you can use it.

You can use the Electrum Gold wallet for bitcoin gold  https://www.electrum-gold.org

That's actually fake. And I'm pretty sure that this may contain malwares.

@Edit: Just checked your post history. Are you trying to steal people's coins? LOL

Thanks. Will keep clear of that fake wallet!

Yeah BTG community is relatively smaller than BCH's but it just isn't handful of people, saying it's community to be small is a little understatement IMO. I'm not much of fan of it myself, but if its community was so small it wouldn't had even been able to fork off. Anyways coinomi has already added BTG, we should see a electrum fork soon too.

This site is distributing malware. The Microsoft codesigning is fraudulent (lists briz.khamazin@yandex.ru) . The source code download is just a ZIP bomb. Do not use.

Thanks for the info about the malware. Will stay far from this code.
Cheers

The devs wrote on their blog they intend to do an electrum fork for Bitcoin Gold.

We will just have to wait for that.

Probably not a top priority right now.

mmm what do you mean with "electrum fork for Bitcoin Gold"?
Why they just can create a "electrum wallet for BTG"?

I don't understand why you use the "fork" word.

Thank you!

I have just checked HITBIT exchange. BTG wallets are created there. It would be good Electrum DEVs to release the way how to obtain BTG from Electrum wallet. Thank you

Bitcoin Gold aka BTG has NOTHING to with Electrum... as Electrum is for BTC only. Not sure why you wanting some altcoin has anything to do with the Electrum Devs?

Besides, even if the Electrum Devs got involved, there would be no way to "obtain" BTG from Electrum, as you can't send BTG from Electrum, due to the replay protection. Unless what you're asking for is that the Electrum Devs, fork the Electrum code and build a BTG wallet... which is just nonsense.

You either need someone who cares about BTG, like the BTG project devs, or some other interested third party to create that Electrum fork. Otherwise, you can simply export your private keys and then import them into a BTG wallet of your choosing. Instant access to your BTG.

That's exactly what he means by "electrum fork for bitcoin gold"... in coding terms, when you "fork the code", you make a copy of the original project... and then modify it to suit your purposes... this creates a "fork" in the code branches...
