Think I've located the private keys in Mycelium

Where do I put them in the coinomi wallet.    Into BTC or BTG?  

In coinomi, go into the BTG wallet.  Then, on the hamburger, click on SWEEP
Enter the key, but I suggest you scan a QR of the private key.

It will tell you the balance and the fee to sweep.   click ok, and it will pull the funds from your old key into your coinomi wallet.

Thanks, I've just tried this but coinomi is saying it "doesn't recognise the private keys format"

[Michail1]

is this checksum secure? 782d0615b309231d9ec243407972b57a978c2640e19673f6a575347d8c69f53d it's from the qt.exe inside the installer not the installer itself

can someone check this please

The correct hash is:
782D0615B309231D9EC243407972B57A978C2640E19673F6A575347D8C69F53D

So, you have the correct bitcoin-qt.exe file.

That said, you should really check the installer file.  Not simply one file within it.

If you still have the installer download, I would check that instead since it is the only known one to be hash checked.

Don't stop forking out big fortune, leek have not felt full of routines, it's terrible. Easy to cut hundreds of millions of dollars, this big capital player too beast!

Then you did something wrong.

You could send me the pkey you're trying and I will check it out.  I suggest you continue trying.  No sense trusting me. 
PM me.

Hello Folks,

As you may have noticed, the source code for the Bitcoin Gold wallet is only available as .zip or .tar.gz file on their Github page.  I don't like that style and I have therefore unpacked all that and put it back onto Github in a more usable format.  You may see it at https://github.com/bostontrader/bitcoin-gold

Does anybody know if there's a publicly visible official edition of this?  Does anybody have any assurance the public binaries have anything to do with the putative source code? 

I also have a collection of several docker files for building a handful of crypto coin wallets, including the above BTG wallet, at https://github.com/bostontrader/crypto-docker.  Using this, you can run the wallet in a docker container and view the output using VNC Viewer.


Please be reminded that there are lots of scammers playing games with these wallets, so please inspect my offering carefully.  I have posted the source code as I found it.  If there is evil lurking within, it didn't come from me.

Enjoy!

And how is this any different from the official source code from gitgub?  https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU

Ha! My mind must be playing tricks on me again.  The last time I looked at the official repo it only had binaries and zipped source code.  Maybe I was looking in the wrong place?  Anyway... thanks for pointing this out.  I prefer to use the official source code and have updated my dockerfile to do exactly that.

And what exactly is wrong with me bitching about centralization wherever it rears its ugly head?

::sigh:: nothing.

Though I believe you are confusing the position enjoyed by a superior competitor in the free market with centralization.

A 70% market share in SHA256 ASICS and also have an interest in pools contributing to almost 50% of the hash rate for BTC and 90% for BCH? Oh no, that's not centralized at all.  I suppose by your definition, De Beers was only a "superior competitor" in the free market of diamonds, until recently.

Oh and as a side note: This DragonMint project does look promising. However, if it really appears as though it's going to cut in on Jihan Wu's turf, do you really think that Jihan is just going to sit idly by and let it happen? I'm sure Jihan will make every attempt to get his tentacles wrapped around that project.

jbear hasn't got back to our point yet? it was so good tho

I can't really see what there is to respond to.
- I know nothing about the diamond industry
- You seem to know nothing about the free market
- You seem to engage in conspiratorial flights of fancy
I think we've each made our positions clear. What's left to say?

You keep dancing around the problem of centralization. It seems dishonest. I know I'm but a simple vegetable, but still..

Thanks for helping out guys

I have now put everything in Electrum
There are now 6 transactions that are 'Not Verified'
Should I wait untill they are verified before I send them to coinomi?
Will I have incurred charges sending from mycelium to electrum
And I think there are 3 BTGs (had 3 BTC at the time of the fork) in there somewhere but presently there are only 0.0003785 bitcoin left on the mycellium.   Is this going to cause a problem?

OK  I've got them at last.  Only 2.6 coins but better than a slap in the face with a wet fish!
I eventually did it by opening a new coinomi walet and restoring the mycelium words.
Thanks all

It seems that price have went through the correction already. Basically I came up with question if anybody here received e-mail from blockchain.info stating you can claim now your BTG ? I have received but there is no other way to confirm except asking or letting other know about this if this is phishing attempt to be careful.

[jaxxion]

Good price to get in now or wait?

I'm planning to all in this shit.

Any advice?

Fake email.  It's not from blockchain.info

Don't.

Don't.

I agree

Got get some that could be a good decision but do not go all in

[lowkey9898]

anybody has a link to a secure btg wallet yet? I heard the link to BTG wallet is corrupted or hacked.

Not at all. I just don't understand your definition of 'centralization'. Any miner who wishes to is able to mine BCH. Indeed, pretty much all miners have mined BCH. The venn diagram of miners eligible to mine BCH and miners eligible to mine BTC is a perfect intersection. I'm not sure what you might be seeking? Some sort of coercive power that goes around forcing all miners to mine BCH, such that it become more 'decentralized' in your view?

As long as nobody who desires to mine is forcibly barred from mining, then the mining is by definition decentralized. At least as far as can be said for voluntary action.

No. You're being paid to lie. That's the only reasonable conclusion.

Perhaps the only conclusion of a simpleton. For I am not being paid to lie.
Why do you not answer my questions, which might serve to help illuminate where we are misunderstanding each other?
