Electrum doesn't support BTG. But! Here is what you have to do to get your BTG. Export your private keys from electrum, download official BTG wallet and import keys into it.
WARNING! If you import your keys into phishing wallet you will lose all your BTC!!!

I thinks! You need Export your private keys from electrum to other wallet have support BTG coin!
Often a software can not do that right away, So it takes time to upgrade.

Because the unavailability of BTG wallet or do not have your own wallet often we find something like this
And no information / how to redeem makes coin owners confused
I think BTG is only for those who have BITCOIN but many people have it

What if I withdraw my btc from the electrum wallet now? I will be able to claim the btg later when they will release the wallet?

I was very lucky to find out that yolodice owner will give us our BTG when the fork happens.  Im glad I do not have to deal with it.  Looks like it might be a pain or a confusing to others.  Though you should have a private key in your wallet and be able to do it yourself, can anyone post instructions, for others to see?

The best is even to withdraw your funds from your wallet before you tamper with your private key on any of the BTG official wallet stated on their site. Relax for a while and see how things are going, then move your funds to another wallet, since you held your coin before the fork, don't worry you will have access to your BTG. Once you do are sure your BTC is safe, then you can go on and import those keys in another wallet. This is just to be on the safe side. You can check their website http://btcgpu.org for the list of the wallets.

I asked the same, might have a solution so far.

I have exodus wallet which is not supporting BTG.

I think this is the safest way to do it:
1. Send Bitcoin to another wallet (I will send them to Coinbase from Exodus)
2. Then you export your private keys from your wallet you had Bitcoins in. (that means to me that I have to export my private keys from Exodus)
3. After 1st of November, you have to find a TRUSTED wallet which supports Bitcoin gold. I do not know which wallet that is. When you find a wallet which support Bitcoin gold, you need to open that wallet with your private key. I have no clue how you do that. But I am trying to learn.

Anyone else agree?

I started another thread here about the same topic:

You must wait for the BTG wallet to come out first. The BTG website is under DDOS attack right now. It was just attacked a few minutes before I types this...

Lol. Obviously, electrum does not support bitcoin gold.
If you really want to get your Bitcoin gold, then you have to transfer your btc somewhere secure(won't suggest any because i don't wanna be liable if you happen to lose your bitcoins due to carelessness), then export your private keys from the wallet you have before you transfered your bitcoins, then, get yourself a a TRUSTABLE wallet that happens to support bitcoingold,(still won't suggest anything), then import your private keys there.

Do this at your own risk.

People says the best way is keeping BTC in your wallet that you have private keys, but i think that if i had my BTC on Bitfinex was better, i would be able to trade BTG right now and who kept in private wallet can't do it.

[Rinaze]

BTG doesn't even have replay protection done yet. Be very careful not to lose your BTC just for BTG, just not worth it. BTG probably won't be like BCH as well in term of market movement since there are more awareness this time round (especially when people are branding BTG as a scam too).

create a new electrum wallet, send your funds to it.


and then download btg wallet and do the process and be careful that you download real wallets

I have found a trusted bitcoin gold wallet and i would like to share with you guys.

The website is: https://www.btcgwallet.org

And i also made a instruction how to gain bitcoin gold if you have your coins in the Electrum wallets. Other wallets or exchanges i do not know, so please do not ask.


1) Make sure to send ALL YOUR BITCOINS to the Electrum wallet: https://electrum.org/

2) After you got ALL your bitcoins in Electrum export the private keys (csv format should be OK)

DO NOT SWEEP THEM!

3) Download the Windows BTCG Wallet at: https://www.btcgwallet.org

4) Import your Electrum default_wallet or whatever Electrum wallet filename you have into BTCG Wallet

5) Fill in your SEED that you have from Electrum wallet (or skip this just leave it as it is)

6) Enter your wallet password if your wallet is encrypted

7) Now import your saved private keys that you have exported from the Electrum wallet

TADA! You have your Bitcoin Gold!

THANK ME LATER!!!

Instruction how to know if a wallet is fake or not or phising:

- Check the URL if you don't see a SSL certificate you know the website is fishy.
- Test a website if its working with HTTP and HTTPS (www and non www)
- Make sure you have your firewall on and check the traffic (you can also hit netstat to check)
- Test things in a virtual environment before you launch something
- Check if the file is not a virus or malware with your antivirus/anti malware
- If you dont trust something do not download it or use it

Thats it folks. Hope you like my tutorial and i wish you all the best with your bitcoin gold!

sounds fishy. after you do this steps, TADA! You lost your bitcoins

Number 1. The bitcoin gold wallet hasn't been released and don't listen to anything that blackworms2001 says. He is trying to scam you into filling in your electrum seed and maybe even more like installing a key logger on your computer.

I REPEAT. DON'T USE ANY WALLETS AVAILABLE NOW ON THE INTERNET OR YOUR BITCOINS WILL DISAPPEAR IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

Second thing:
If you had your coins in electrum before block  491407  you're part of the snapshot and will receive bitcoin gold once the official wallet is out. You'd use your bitcoin private keys to get your airdropped BTG.

Don't trust or use anything until it's officially released on their website or their twitter.

[bakgwei]

As of right now, there are no trustworthy wallets that support BTG. So just relax a bit folks and wait for the forst wallets to support it, probably after the official launch after November 1. I know the BTG price is in free fall right now, but its not worth loosing your BTC over it by some hasty actions to get and sell your BTG.

[hoangsang2403]

Now, I transfer the bitcoin on the electrum to another wallet to use for sale before I wait on November 1st. I fear moving the bitcoin out of the electrum purse at the moment makes me not get bitcoin gold
At this time, I should use bitcoin or wait until November 1

I would like to know this too, is it safe to spend the BTC from electrum right now?
I should be part of the snapshot, so i think yes but i want to be certain.

[SHIFTCASH]

electrum doesn't support BTG at the moment.
You can claim your BTG by securely exporting your private keys to any BTG wallet.NB:becareful of phising sites.its very recommend you empty your wallet before tranfering your private keys.
