Until the BTG Devs put out a BTG compatible Electrum fork... Your only option is to export the private keys for the addresses that have BTG from Electrum and then import them into a BTG wallet.

AFAIK, no other wallets will even import an Electrum seed as it isn't BIP39 compatible.

Even the BIP39 tool will tell you it's an invalid seed unless you modify the code to work with Electrum.

Would love to import the private keys to a BTG wallet but from reading reports here it sounds like all web wallets are untrustworthy (to say the least), while the only mobile wallet is only available on Android. No options for desktop or iOS. Short of using the BTG client and downloading the entire chain, I suppose..

Yeah, as I can see it was pretty attractive for scammers given how much of these scam wallets appears ( got recently an email from blockchain-gold.something ... it went right into trashcan after I saw the sender domain )

If you don't have android device (and you really want to move your BTG to exchange for sale) you might ask some reputable members to do that for you. Expect some small reward would be required.

Guys - (sorry first post, long lurker), how the hell do I retrieve BTG with electrum? I have all my private keys, (only need one). But I can't touch coinomi because 1) I have segwit address's ("3") and 2) I don't have an android.

I downloaded the BTG core wallet, (took over 2 days). How do I sweep my private keys from electrum into the BTG core wallet so that I can retrieve my BTG coins? I'm not familiar with the command system and the core wallet doesn't seem that easy to navigate.


Has anyone tried this approach yet and can help me out? I'll send over $ to anyone who can help out with the process.

Thanks!

Well, this is also one of the reasons I was not so hurry into segwit.

You could give a try command importprivkey ("importprivkey YOUR_KEY") but I can't tell if it will work.

Not sure if either one is "official".. but the block explorers I've found are:
https://btgexp.com/
and
https://btgexplorer.com/

you'll probably be waiting a while for a BTG "Electrum" fork. Undecided

So, for claiming BTX, I was able to get them by pointing my BTC electrum wallet to electrum.bitcore.cc and the coins showed up after some time.

Anyone know if that would work with BTG as well? And if so, what server do I point electrum to?

(Because of it being a multisig address I cant import the private key into Coinomi)

Move your BTC to another wallet first do not sweep your private key on their btg core wallet, btg developer team is proven to be part of scam operation, someone already reported that their core wallet is stealing private key and then take the BTC out, so far the safest way is claiming through coinomi but their coin is scam anyway so there is potential risk in future they may send out updated wallet that steal private key again

https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-gold-wallet-scam-nets-3-million-illicit-earnings/
Did you even READ the article? Roll Eyes It specifically states that the "mybtgwallet" webscamsite was responsible for the theft:

Perpetrated by the operators of a website called mybtgwallet.com, the scheme prompted users to submit their private keys or recovery seeds as a means to generate bitcoin gold wallets, as seen on an Internet Archive snapshot. Shortly after users did so, however, the cryptocurrency holdings in their wallets were sent to different addresses.
Having said that, it really shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone, that a relatively unknown website asking you to input your private keys and/or recovery seed turns out to be a scam... Roll Eyes


Furthermore, it also mentions that the "John Dass" guy who was responsible for "mybtgwallet" was NEVER part of the BTG Development Team:
Quote
"The investigation increasingly indicated that the original developer, 'John Dass,' was responsible for the fraud all along… He has dropped out of touch with us, as well," he said.

While Dass was in the bitcoin gold Slack channel with a "developer" tag, he was not a part of the project's formal team, Iskra said.

There was "no formal relationship at all. He did interact with our devs in the Slack regarding developing his open-source code [and] his web site," he told CoinDesk. "The BTG Twitter account was simply supporting an individual in the community who was supporting BTG – that was their sole intent, at the time."

It might pay to actually READ things properly before throwing some serious scam accusations and FUD around! Roll Eyes

The Bitcoin Gold Core wallet is opensource and, as far as I'm aware, not malicious and not involved in any theft of any crypto currency. Happy to be corrected if you have some actual proof that shows otherwise.

Thank you! I found a reazon. "The address starts with a "3" and is protected by multisig or is a segwit address"
Can you advise me similar wallets, in which this problem is solved?

Sorry, I don't know how to get BTG from segwit addresess. I guess you have to wait a little longer till devs implement such feture.  Just please do not be desperate and avoid using web wallets claiming they can do it ( they will steal your coins).

Has anyone actually been able to get their BTG out of Electrum?

Tried Coinomi, but said wallet did not have funds (similar to what someone else hosted)

You can only do it through coinomi if you have a "1" address... I have a "1" and was able to retrieve some of my BTG... but my other wallet has a segwit address "3" and I can't retrieve any of them.... and I'm scared that I exposed my PK to public sites already and they will steal my BTG.... (bitaddress)

I looked up the public address on a block explorer and it shows that it is there... so I don't know what to do.... I even downloaded the BTG core wallet and tried to importprivkey and it didn't work either...
