Bitcoin Gold Electrum support

[Kyraishi]

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.

Electrum probably won't publicly support bitcoin gold but since with electrum you control your own private keys there shouldn't be a problem with claiming your bitcoin gold when you are able to do so at official launch.

Just like bitcoin cash, you are able to export the private keys elsewhere to split your coins.

Electrum is one of the best and trustworthy wallets out there.

CAUTION

Above mentioned wallet is not "official electrum wallet".
Personaly I'm very sceptical about it as to me it looks like the author is just trying to take advatage of well known "electrum wallet" to lure people (what other reason could be to name it like that ??)
Use at your own risk.

EDIT: @CryptoVinny - it's your first and only post   ..  Im pretty sure you are the author ... nice try, but next time try to find better way to make money then from scamming others.
Now GTFO.

Likely a scam indeed. Bitcoingold.org does not show any electrum variant as wallet and the site linked above links to at first glance shady pages that ask you to "import" your private keys/seeds. For some reason they require you to have a current bitcoin (BTC) balance, which is bullshit. You just needed to have a BTC balance for block 491406 in order to have BTG now.

Haha, from all the scams I've seen this must've been one of the easiest ones to spot.

That said; on claiming Bitcoin Gold: I thought the split had already occurred, but from what I gather from here -> https://medium.com/@coinomi/collecting-your-free-bitcoin-gold-btg-coins-da937d4255d1 (message from Coinimi wallet on Medium) 25 October was mere the moment the snapshot of the BTC network was taken. The actual split won't happen until the 1st of November.

I'm guessing, after that date, one might simply download the Coinimi wallet and import your Electrum keys into it to claim the Bitcoin Gold?

Yeah, thats my understanding as well. You can (and should!!) move your BTC first though as - as you said - the split already happened and BTG has replay protection.

If only this particular post can be deleted from the forum because even though people who are in the know believes its a way to steal the entire bitcoin you have, what of those newbie coming on the forum to seek information. Someone might fall for this and there wont be anything to be done to redeem the situation.

This is exactly what happened in the case of bitcoin Cash but you will have to update your app first according to that same statement you are making reference to.

Fuck no, your safest bet is to download the full blockchain data. Here's a torrent that should speed things up
