How to Claim BTG from Blockchain.info ?

[MandyViki]

Please refer these 2 pages of coinomi to complete your btg claim procedure.

https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000016909-i-didn-t-have-btc-in-coinomi-at-the-time-of-the-snapshot-how-do-i-claim-btg-
https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000013719-how-to-get-bitcoin-cash-from-many-wallet-software-services-with-coinomi

The second link has the standalone bip file which will give you the private key to be entered and complete the procedure for claiming btg in coinomi.
Please note, that you wont get exact same amount as your balance in blockchain because coinomi deducts a little fee during the conversion.
Ex: on a 10k sat balance expect a 1k sat btg as fee so you will get about 9k approx.

Thanks, that update to the Coinomi tutorial got me the BTG I was having trouble retrieving.  Appreciated!

We are waiting for official steps to claim BTG because until now I have not got a link or a way to claim BTG, but according to confirmation via email blockchain.info will give all our rights if later split into BTG.

Don' trust fishing emails from "Blockchain" .     I receive every day same emails from different email addresses:

Yeah same here. For anyone else that is wondering what this coinomi thing is, it is essentially importing your private keys into a multi-coin wallet that also has support for bitcoin gold. Pretty easy process to go through actually.

All you need to do is to first find all your private keys from your recovery phrase on blockchain.info(there are tutorials out there regarding how to achieve that), then you will need to just go to coinomi, add wallet(bitcoin gold), and find the swep option.

Then, you're pretty much done and ready to go.

To claim BTG you can just use Electrum Gold, electrumgold(dot)org/

It's the same as electrum, but for BTG instead of bitcoin

Stop advertising a scam site here! This wallet is not even listed in bitcoin gold's official site: https://bitcoingold.org and it's not open source

Upon checking, This has been flagged as "malware" by electrum

Be extremely careful with altcoin versions of Electrum. For example, Electrum Gold is confirmed malware.

Did block chain supported the gold fork because I had not received any mail form them stating that they supported it and the one can withdraw the gold now. Generally as far as I know they do send a mail and also checking the site I did not found any option or anywhere name of Gold. So how do you know they supported it or not?

If you can't see it on the left tab it means it's not supported. Now if you wanna know if they will support it or not in the future, Keep up with their announcements using SNS e.g. facebook, twitter. If the coin is finally integrated on their site, yes you will receive a mail (make sure you're not clicking on a phishing one)  although I'm not sure if you'll receive one before but most probably not.

IMO unless bitcoin gold gain a significant demand from users, blockchain.info probably won't support it.

Thanks for the information . At present I do not see anything else other than Btc , ether and BCH. Maybe in near future they may introduce and provide the fork coin to those who had Btc in their wallet during that time . Will follow them as well for future updates .

Claiming of the bitcoin gold might be possible, but this too needs a better understanding. In the past, during the fork of bitcoin cash similar incident took and blockchain.info themselves placed the fund in terms of bitcoin cash.

Claiming (or rather simply spending/moving/or whatever) is the same as other forks.

The only issue was that BTG had a hacked client on the site for a little bit.

Need help splitting off your BTG, message me; however, I would suggest you download the wallet and do it yourself.   It's as simple as a process as the other forks.

Seems a lot of scammers are loitering and getting ready for someone that will click their bait. So better be mindful in clicking those links that came from unknown sources. Always check the url versus the page you'll visit because these scammers are upgrading and thinking like a monkey.

Seems a lot of scammers are loitering and getting ready for someone that will click their bait. So better be mindful in clicking those links that came from unknown sources. Always check the url versus the page you'll visit because these scammers are upgrading and thinking like a monkey.

The scammer (I say one since the sites are link to the same DNS) has updated the sites.

They are now showing new versions of the fake software.

In fact, the scammer is only targeting Windows users.   The links to Windows is the scam malware, while the links to other OS platforms are legit (currently).

Example:   Electrocash.org (the scam) links to a download on the site for the windows client, but the linux/mac/source is to a valid software on Electroncash.org  (note simply that the scam site is missing the N).
