Electrum Gold released https://www.electrum-gold.org

If only this particular post can be deleted from the forum because even though people who are in the know believes its a way to steal the entire bitcoin you have, what of those newbie coming on the forum to seek information. Someone might fall for this and there wont be anything to be done to redeem the situation.

I'm guessing, after that date, one might simply download the Coinimi wallet and import your Electrum keys into it to claim the Bitcoin Gold?

This is exactly what happened in the case of bitcoin Cash but you will have to update your app first according to that same statement you are making reference to.

Electrum Gold released (edit)electrum-gold.org

CAUTION

Above mentioned wallet is not "official electrum wallet".
Personaly I'm very sceptical about it as to me it looks like the author is just trying to take advatage of well known "electrum wallet" to lure people (what other reason could be to name it like that ??)
Use at your own risk.

EDIT: @CryptoVinny - it's your first and only post  Cheesy ..  Im pretty sure you are the author ... nice try, but next time try to find better way to make money then from scamming others.
Now GTFO.

Likely a scam indeed. Bitcoingold.org does not show any electrum variant as wallet and the site linked above links to at first glance shady pages that ask you to "import" your private keys/seeds. For some reason they require you to have a current bitcoin (BTC) balance, which is bullshit. You just needed to have a BTC balance for block 491406 in order to have BTG now.

Haha, from all the scams I've seen this must've been one of the easiest ones to spot.

That said; on claiming Bitcoin Gold: I thought the split had already occurred, but from what I gather from here -> https://medium.com/@coinomi/collecting-your-free-bitcoin-gold-btg-coins-da937d4255d1 (message from Coinimi wallet on Medium) 25 October was mere the moment the snapshot of the BTC network was taken. The actual split won't happen until the 1st of November.

I'm guessing, after that date, one might simply download the Coinimi wallet and import your Electrum keys into it to claim the Bitcoin Gold?

Yeah, thats my understanding as well. You can (and should!!) move your BTC first though as - as you said - the split already happened and BTG has replay protection.

Hey guys! Will Electrum wallet support Bitcoin GOLD? If so how it works? If not, where should I locate my funds to receive Bitcoin GOLD and keep them safe? Thanks for any help.

Electrum probably won't publicly support bitcoin gold but since with electrum you control your own private keys there shouldn't be a problem with claiming your bitcoin gold when you are able to do so at official launch.

Just like bitcoin cash, you are able to export the private keys elsewhere to split your coins.

Electrum is one of the best and trustworthy wallets out there.

Has anyone seen a comprehensive guide to splitting bitcoin into bitcoin gold? My coins were all in my electrum wallet during the split, but I still have no idea how to access the bitcoin gold.

I'm on the same. So far was able to sell only the coins received by bitfinex.
You just need to wait and watch new announcements for wallets which claimed to support it (Coinomi, freewallet, guarda).

Hi there,
I'm quite new to Bitcoin and have them still on Kraken.
As far as I understood now, in order to get BTG I have to store them into a wallet.
Now my question, would it have been necessary that they were already in a wallet on 25th of October to have the correct private key (not sure if what I just said is crap Grin)? Are there any timelines by which I need to move my bitcoins to a wallet (if not to late already) and for opening the BTG wallet?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

Yes, the snapshot was taken on 24th (it was supposed to be 25th) so it's too late to do anything about it now.

I'd like to confirm something.

Say you have your Bitcoin stored in your Electrum Wallet, and you want to move/spend this Bitcoin prior to obtaining your BitCoin Gold; do you need to record the keys in order that you can later obtain your Bitcoin Gold? Or is there anything else you must do? I wish to move/spend my Bitcoin, but I don't want to lose the Bitcoin Gold allocation if I can avoid it.

Much appreciated!

Hey Green!

When the fork happened, it divide the amount of all btc present in the private keys.
To claim you btg wallet, you will need the same private key which where the btc in the fork time. That's why it is a good suggestion to remove all btc from the wallet before claim the btg.

Got it?

Hello. If I send my bitcoin from Electrum wallet, Will I still have bitcoin gold in the wallet ? Is it safe? I really need to know! Thank you !

Hey Zu,

in the first place, your private key need to had the btc just before the fork. When the fork happened, it just split the number of btc of all wallets. So, if you had btc on your electrum wallet when the fork happened, it would be good to remove all btc from this wallet before claim it in electrum (when it offers support to btg), due the replay protection and other stuff.

Does it helps?

I need  to send Bitcoin from Electrum wallet If I don't loos Bitcoin Gold at the same time. Is it possible to loose BTG after sending BTC from Electrum wallet?
No, Bitcoin Gold has a replay protection. That means the broadcasted transaction from the current chain cannot rely on the other chain, in other words, not accepted by the other chain.
However, at the next fork, there might be a risk of replay, because it is unknown whether they implemented a replay protection.

Hi how is it unknown? Is it like the other fork will not be able to detect?
