Bitcoin Gold Electrum support

[ranman09]

Hey guys! Will Electrum wallet support Bitcoin GOLD? If so how it works? If not, where should I locate my funds to receive Bitcoin GOLD and keep them safe? Thanks for any help.

WE still have to wait for more info about this matter. As of now just wait and be patient if someone will make an export software for bitcoin gold.

Yeah lets wait for any announcements on how we can be safe. But as the last fork its safer not to move bitcoin till that day. It is best.

Without BTG replay protection, it's not safe to import your keys even if you've moved your coins after the snapshot

I'm so eager to get my btg coins from electrum, but guess i have to wait for replay protection then

No, Bitcoin Gold has a replay protection. That means the broadcasted transaction from the current chain cannot rely on the other chain, in other words, not accepted by the other chain.
However, at the next fork, there might be a risk of replay, because it is unknown whether they implemented a replay protection.

Hi how is it unknown? Is it like the other fork will not be able to detect?

I'd like to confirm something.

Say you have your Bitcoin stored in your Electrum Wallet, and you want to move/spend this Bitcoin prior to obtaining your BitCoin Gold; do you need to record the keys in order that you can later obtain your Bitcoin Gold? Or is there anything else you must do? I wish to move/spend my Bitcoin, but I don't want to lose the Bitcoin Gold allocation if I can avoid it.

Much appreciated!

Hey Zu,

in the first place, your private key need to had the btc just before the fork. When the fork happened, it just split the number of btc of all wallets. So, if you had btc on your electrum wallet when the fork happened, it would be good to remove all btc from this wallet before claim it in electrum (when it offers support to btg), due the replay protection and other stuff.

Does it helps?

Hey Green!

When the fork happened, it divide the amount of all btc present in the private keys.
To claim you btg wallet, you will need the same private key which where the btc in the fork time. That's why it is a good suggestion to remove all btc from the wallet before claim the btg.

Got it?

I hold all my BTC on bittrex, hope I will get my BTG soon

Hi there,
I'm quite new to Bitcoin and have them still on Kraken.
As far as I understood now, in order to get BTG I have to store them into a wallet.
Now my question, would it have been necessary that they were already in a wallet on 25th of October to have the correct private key (not sure if what I just said is crap )? Are there any timelines by which I need to move my bitcoins to a wallet (if not to late already) and for opening the BTG wallet?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

Yes, the snapshot was taken on 24th (it was supposed to be 25th) so it's too late to do anything about it now.

Has anyone seen a comprehensive guide to splitting bitcoin into bitcoin gold? My coins were all in my electrum wallet during the split, but I still have no idea how to access the bitcoin gold.

I'm on the same. So far was able to sell only the coins received by bitfinex.
You just need to wait and watch new announcements for wallets which claimed to support it (Coinomi, freewallet, guarda).
