How can i get bitcoin gold on electrum [step by step]

[Bitfort]

guys, supposed  that i have 1 bitcoin in wallet A before fork, and after fork i move 1 bitcoin out of wallet A. now wallet A is emply, so can I claim 1 bitcoin gold from wallet A?

You can't claim bitcoin gold at the moment as it hasn't launched yet but Once it goes live probably on November 1st, Yes you can claim your BTG's from wallet A by importing it to a designated bitcoin gold wallet. They are giving updates on their site as well as other necessary information here https://bitcoingold.org/blog/

This is interesting. I have already sold mine BTG on bitfinex ... What the heck did I sold  

Electrum Bitcoin Gold wallet ht tps://www.electrum-gold.org

!!!! DO NOT FALL INTO SCAM ABOVE !!!!

Better wait. Coinomi is coming with update soon ... https://twitter.com/CoinomiWallet/status/925842529219764224
(step by step quides will be after)

To speed things up you can now move your BTC to new address as the old one you need to be sweep into coinomi (thus will be compromised).


EDIT: I made a quick how-to guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2347158

Electrum Bitcoin Gold wallet https://www.electrum-gold.org

does anyone have tried it?
if i have to import my btc private key to this btcgold wallet, does i need anyway to move my bt  to an other wallet before? There is really the risk of my btc stolen or lost?

No, and I will not (hope nobody tried). I haven't even visited the site but read this:

Electrum Gold released (edit)electrum-gold.org

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.

1. there is no need to have BTC balance at the address now  (operator is just hungry and wants to scam you both coins )
2. The entire thing how was announced was shaddy. Proper wallet would make ANN thread rather than just random posts in threads asking how to get BTG.

When using this you are risking losing your BTG (and also BTC if you give him prv. key with both coins on it) and I dare to say the chance you lose them is 100%.

Check my post above. Coinomi is well know wallet with lot of satisfied customers and will include BTG soon.

There is no link to the source... And as far as I can tell, this website is NOT related to the official Bitcoin Gold website here: https://bitcoingold.org

Also, they say on their blog that BTG Electrum is on their TODO list... ie. It hasn't been completed. Refer: https://bitcoingold.org/replay-protection-development/

I'd be very surprised if that download was legit... Chances are high it will either steal your BTC (and BTG) and/or fill your computer with malware.

[asdlolciterquit]

It's a fucking scam! This link is a funcking scam --> https://www.electrum-gold.org

@CryptoVinny: i think with the information posted from HCP and Bitfort you own as some explanation. I'm waiting.
I know crypto is farwest but i don't like this kind of things...

Looking for an update on this.... can we STILL not split our bitcoin gold from bitcoin that was stored in an electrum wallet? Has there been no progress on this?

According to their blog - https://bitcoingold.org/blog/ - they're still running the testnet, and the mainnet is still listed on their to-do list.  I think we need to wait.

Well, if it is a scam, the authors aren't too smart by putting their address at the bottom of their landing page.

It's funny looking at Whois database for electrum-gold.org because they paid for domain protection through namecheap.
Though if you search whois for BTC-Gold.info, it yields yet more information about the person running it.
Again, if this is a scam, this scammer sucks at scamming; can't hide his trail worth a shit.

Not saying it's legit but if it is a scam, the scammer wreaks of leaks.

If I had chump change on my wallet I'd try it but I don't, none of my addresses have little coin worth to risk on.

Have you not seen the site in its entirety? The head developer has his identity hidden. While the oter people around him probably know their identity and can post it, they may also be dragged down with them if it turns out to be a scam).

It is strange that they've posted so much information about themselves online and they have a business address (that being said, I'm not sure how well their registrar will check the identity they have given is accurate).

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

the best wallet to use or the most reputable  one at least is COINOMI.
i was able to setup the wallet and get BTG in there.
its the safest bet at the moment.

You can use the Electrum Gold wallet for bitcoin gold  https ://www.electrum-gold.org <-- SCAM SITE DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE

Fairly sure that is just a reboot of the SCAM WALLET listed here: https://bitcoingold.org/not-official-websites/ it is even using the same "screenshot" (with some edits to the toolbar)

For the record, that electrum-gold website has a single download link that links to a .zip file here: https ://github.com/mysmsbiz/btg/releases/download/v2.9.3/electron-gold-2.9.3.zip <-- SCAME WALLET!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!!

That "github" has absolutely ZERO code associated with it... https://github.com/mysmsbiz/btg

DO NOT visit electrum-gold and DO NOT download and/or use the wallet... you're likely to lose BTC/BTG and infect your computer with all sorts of malware.


Keep an eye on https://bitcoingold.org/ <-- OFFICIAL Bitcoin Gold website... they will announce when the BTG compatible wallet is released!

I was so worried as well. Thank you for saving me from losing my bitcoingold. I will only use what other people are using.

Malware!!

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

As per the recent experience which puts in sigh about electrum-gold.org be aware <- it is scam
The head developer hidden his identity and many was unintentionally pulled into this even.
Electrum-gold.org is a reboot of scam wallet, it directs you to click on a link and download a file, once you do that you are done.
They gets your IP, install a virus/spyware/malware on your computer.

bitcoingold.org is the right official wallet for Electrum Gold wallet.
Do read the discussions on our bitcointalk.org and know the latest information and experience that helps you.
Ensure you are making a secure transaction before you make it.

soon 

BTG is still syncing, 60K blocks to go, in the meantime you can send your coins to Coinomi, you will have full access to them once the blockchain is fully synced.

Maybe do u have manual for that?

[TomQ]

Are there any options available currently to retrieve your BTG with a pre-fork electrum seed, one that is not just for Android (Coinomi).

As for now, it seems Coinomi offers the only safe and convenient option.

Anyone knows a good electrum alternative for non-Android users?

Basically every other wallet found in the BTG website[1].

Just be careful with the fake Electrum "forks" that there is around and web wallets.

Your solution: Coinomi

If you do not wish to move your balance to them, you will have to share the private key for the address that held those btc at the time of snapshot.
Coinomi has explained the procedure in detail and you wont have trouble claiming them.

Coinomi only seems to support sweeping on the Android app. There is no iOS app yet, and their beta desktop app doesn't have a sweep feature. And as far as I can tell all the web wallets are scams. So back to square one - no option outside of Android, unfortunately. I wish I could be proven wrong.
