This one worked for me . https://--btgwallet.online/

Good idea, lets all trust the n00b account spamming links to drop your private keys for fools gold.

Thats indeed cocky

Yes it is and that is because I have been here long enough to see these scammers use sockpuppet accounts to rip off all the n00bs that have been showing up so I now assume a n00b account is a thief until I see otherwise. It is unfortunate as I was the fool that took people at their word until proven otherwise but this space has made me jaded. When it comes to money the criminals abound. you would be well served to heed this warning.

please send all your BTC to a new wallet before you try to claim your BTC Gold. And it does not matter which tool you are using. if you do this all the scammers will get a private key / seed to an empty BTC wallet.

Good point.

Just to clarify: So if I send all my BTC to a new wallet, the BTG will remain on the old one?


Yes if it had those funds on the time of the snapshot. BTG is nothing more than a copy of the blockchain with code changed to add a pre-mine and change the algo. It was delayed because during that time replay attack code was needed, which was available from btc repository, but they were too incompetent to integrate that code for weeks. Just as an FYI many alts did integrate that same code quickly and with no issues.

BTW I don't have much time in my life so I do not write out long explanations any longer and that is why you will just see short quips from me but you will find if you heed them you will be the better off for it. I have saved alot of people alot of time effort and pain by pointing out stuff n00bs would have gotten rekt by. And your welcome that I just spent 5 minutes of my life explaining this too you a total stranger. <<-- was that too cocky for you? Smiley

if nothing coins likes bitcoin dark and bitcoin plus can temporarily command incredible volumes, then there's absolutely no reason why this won't either some day.

i might get rid of a small amount but i'll hang on to the rest. stuff like this has a habit of surprising you no matter how appalling it actually is.

I got my BTG from Hitbtc and I'm still holding it. It was the easiest way for me.

You will hold it all the way to zero. If you can't trust the developers, then you cannot trust the coin. These people who are trying to piggy back on the Bitcoin brand will eventually realize that all their efforts come to nought.

I agree that Bitcoin brand couldn’t be as a salvation for all its forks. Most of them will crash at the next year. Let's see!

Does somebody were able to obtain some BTG using the private secrets? Please share your encounter. I do not believe that BTG is a good investment so I wish to have it then sell ASAP.

Yes - I used the method I described here in my post to get my BTG and immediately sell them for BTC.  BTG seems shady to me and I just wanted to get my "free money" and get real BTC ASAP!

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@greenmtndrone/a-guide-to-safely-redeeming-your-btg-bitcoin-gold

Thanks for this. I will give it a try. You can’t trust all the stuff that pops up on the google search.

Also, has anyone given mining a try?


Picture worth hundred words ^^

Clueless!

my CPA lady said that it is likely if you touch any of this BGT or BCH, especially spend it, or move it to USD or even move it directly

to a diff cryptocurrency using like kind under USA law..with supposed no consequence crypto to crypto..we are talking flaky IRS here

it MAY be considered a taxable event..just moving it from BCT to a BGT or say your BCH to their wallets

the IRS hates money from the air (or gold from ground) ...see crypto mining as income..they COULD do the same with this

fork $$$ you get for your whatever blockchain fork BCH, BGT etc

that is only 1 out of 10 chance thou...but in my case if it does happen 1 out of 10 I can't afford to chance moving it or spending it at this time

could not afford the tax consequences...even if it is unlikely

the most likely thing she says if you DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION to this paper profits falling out of the sky

they likely would treat it as a stock split..ie do nothing ..just let it sit on your BTC snapshotted BGT and BCH address's

myself at 50% tax rate this year I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE THE CHANCE, even if only 1 out of 10 and move this to other

crypto under like kind (no tax) or move it to BCH or BTG wallet ( maybe both a taxable event) because I could NOT afford to pay the

taxes on such...if they took (IRS) that unlikely route....w/o digging into my main BTC hoard..which would be silly (or a draw at best and I'd be BTC down)

those of you with say 10 BTC or some such ..that would be 10k of BTC or say 2k under normal 20% taxes on income if held for a year and a day

under 2013 guidelines on crypto...if you make more than 35K or so...



(ie money from sky) ..again the IRS really hates it....sell or move .by all means do so.....and get it out..if you can afford taxes on this worst case

don't be me Sad

but me, even at only a 1 out of 10 risk of this likely happening.....I could not afford the taxes due from this money from the sky,

 if it goes that way....so hoping she is correct on IRS treating it as a stock split..if I pay no attention too it..

and if you ignore it and don't touch your BCH or BGT from the snapshot..it is likely just to be treated as stock split and no

consequences....

on the other hand

the IRS still says you have to pay capital gains on your 1 buck BTC from 2010 on a purchase of a big screen TV say for

8k and you'd then owe at least 2k to IRS in capital gains at 20% (my state Minnesota adds another 8.5%) to that

so they are frigging silly on that, unenforceable idea off the bat


They also went after 4 million coinbase accounts on a witch hunt because they found 4 guys cheating...wanted all 2-4 million

info on all accounts or some such...complete overkill ..they wanted all records on everyone USA or outside USA...

now, looks like coinbase will lose, the court case and be required to give all info to everyone selling more than 20k thru coinbase

so anyway, to sum up a 1 out of 10 chance the IRS could very well screw us all and say all our FORK money is taxable...ie INCOME

like mining or a gift...and if it BTC tanks to 10 bucks ...the IRS will let us

take a 3k loss a year forever to recoup,our losses, .but until then, the IRS would still, ..in my case..if you made 120k you owe us 60k

THIS YEAR IN FULL ..no way I can eat that...talk about slaming the price of BTC down to $100 bucks guickly..can you imagine the IRS

telling a $1,000,000.00  BTC holder (100 btc) he made 100,000.00 and now owes IRS 50% (my rate) pay it up by April 1st ,2018

FML, I'd be doomed...

not likely gonna happen..but if you want to see BTC dump to 1k ..let that happen...all the coinbase whales scrambling for sure...in my boat...

so, anyway, what I've found out is..if you have too much crypto on a fork...leave it the hell alone and pray the IRS will call it

a stock split and you can sell it like 1 year and 1 day like normal mined crypto and pay 20% capital gains then (if any)

if you have a bit of BTC or so and got BCH or BTG from the snapshots....and you can afford such taxes if you cash out

or exchange to BTC or whatever...BY ALL MEANS, DO SO...just saying you get to a certain size you may run into my wall on all this, like me

For sure if you SELL your BTG or BCH to USD, that would be pure income and you'd owe IRS at least 25% in lowest tax bracket (think that is lowest)

(been a good year at 4.15 ltc to 67 buck ltc mining .however until Jan 1st 2018 I'm at 50% tax rate..thus have to be aware of this stuff)

at least the rest of this year...next year I can dump.....(never thought I'd make too much crypto and be this confused)

anyway, what I have been told so far, not that anyone really knows wtf is going on, including the IRS (no more guidelines since 2013)

anyway, get it out if you can afford the 'supposed' tax problems if it goes pear shaped by all means and you can afford eating such if it goes south (1 out of 10 chance)

if you got too much like me for that to work ..in case you get slam'd...from forked coin....well sit on my hands is what I'm doing

ignore it and hope it hangs together BTG and BCH until after the 1st of the year ..and you can do a re-look then

Not sure what to do about IRS being flaky on crypto ..congress has demanded they get some guidelines for the last 4 years with no luck

anyway, likely BTG and BCH will go back to dust coin by the time I can act on this..so don't be me.if above does not apply to you imho,

move the stuff to BTC asap is the safer bet (save yourselves) Sad

later

Indeed bitcoin gold is not popular with traders, so I think a big price increase can not wait.

Hello,

Does anybody know which wallets plan to support the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) friendly fork on October 1st? And what, if anything, should be done by the user?
I think personally I will claim and throw away, just like I did with BCash. Do not see too much excitement here that has not been done before and Everyone is happy with the Bitcoin Gold GPU mining feature, please see Bitcore (BTX) more closely.
It's been around for over four months now, it has all the good stuff and larger blocks and bigger blocks can be brought to the table, have an unstable ASIC mining GPU algo and a fair distribution to everyone who is interested through some water display and some photos for BTC.
Also the chains are not 150 GB because all normal forks have recently suffered. This will give me something that will be useful and I would recommend for you to read a bitcointalk thread or view this video linked here: https://steemit.com/crypto -news / @ xwerk / news-massive-25-airdrop-for-btx-incoming-bitcore- promo-video
