Reason why there no Electrum for Bitcoin Gold ?

Hi,

What is the reason why there no eletrum wallet for bitcoin gold ?

At my opinion, the first thing to think for before creating new cryptocurrency, is the ability to manage the coins on a web wallet, desktop wallet and especially ELECTRUM !!!

I checked the few options present on the bitcoin gold website, all seem to be not trusting at 100% !

Because i can't share my private keys elsewhere that my own PC, since there 2 forks today, there will be many new forks in the futur !!! Even Fork of Forked cryptocurrencies.

Any good solution whithout risky way please ?

Because Electrum has a policy to support Bitcoin in their app, not forks because they exist in a split chain and sometimes with different settings so they would have to program them in and they are not willing to. If you use Electrum, you can get your forked coin by transferring out your Bitcoin to a new wallet, export your private keys from the old one and import those keys into a wallet that supports the fork.

By the way, for the good forks with community support, good wallets will follow.

I don't think BTG team will be working on their platform actively, and have shown significant effort to convince wallet provider like Electrum to be developing wallet for it
