Topic: Best wallet to store btc during hardfork to get bitcoin gold - page 3. (Read 7113 times)
Sorry...autocorrect. btcg not butch
Newbie also....if the snapshot for butch has already been taken does that mean we won’t receive new coin if we purchased btc after snapshot?
It is recommended to use a hardware wallet but if you don't have hardware wallet then software wallets like Jaxx, Exodus or Coinomi should be fine. I’m using Jaxx. The most important is that you have access to your private key. What I managed to find as information is that after the BTG fork your private key will be the same for both BTC and BTG.
Any wallet where you control your private key is best.
Newbie here and I would like to know where is the best place to store our btc during the upcoming hardfork where we can receive bitcoin gold as well.
How will be receive some tokens during the split?

I haven't heard any certain news yet on what exchangers and wallets supports BTCG so I guess we still need to wait for a few days and see if there will be announcements from these exchangers and wallet companies. I only have a few coins on my portfolio so I don't really give much attention to the fork that will happen soon but for those who have so much BTCs on their accounts hope this could be like the first fork where you got some BCC on your hands. It is always an awesome thing to have FREE MONEY
I'm still lost as to what wallets would support Bitcoin Gold since not much has been said about its release, but personally, I'd go for any reputable exchange that supports the fork (which is none, so far) and the rest will go to my own personal wallet. I want to be one of the first who gets into the trading action when it goes live since it could be another pump and dump scheme created by another group of devs. Have it your way, but for extreme security, I recommend going for personal wallets (Electrum and the likes) that have full support for Bitcoin Gold.
Wow. Way to belittle the attempt to scale and mature the Bitcoin blockchain!
If "another group of devs" wanted to create a pump and dump scheme they'd create an ICO on Ethereum and get a bunch of newbies here to spread their cheap gospel with promises of a fat bounty upon offering. Of course that would nothing but provide the pump to be dumped.
How about you have a bit more respect for what these Bitcoin hard forks represent, instead of trying to just profit personally off it. You sound like you work for one of those too big to fail banks!
Just use those wallet that provide you Private key for your wallet.I think its only the safe way to get new coin(hard fork).desktop wallet is a good choose for this. Electrum is one of them.

The best wallet to receive your future Bitcoin gold is Bitcoin core.How will be receive some tokens during the split?
With Bitcoin core you have your Bitcoin in the real Bitcoin blockchain and you have the pricate keys for these adddress.
But, be carrefull, we don't know when will be the blockchain snapshot for the hard fork : Bitcoin gold is a partially premine coin and the snapshot was perhaps yesterday or before.
Sorry, what does it mean for the snapshot to have already occurred, could you please elaborate? thx.

I would think a Trezor or Ledger would best place to keep your Bitcoins. Surely these hardware wallets will give us the BTG.

As long as the wallet give you control over the private keys (Exodus, Electrum etc.) then you should be fine. It's still unclear where you could get your Bitcoin Gold as we still didn't see any wallets for the new coin yet but when that happens, you could just import the keys there.
