thx for your response, but why the heck would I go through all that trouble when I could just download this wallet here:
https://bitcoinz.global/en/#wallets
( if what you are stating is in fact true that Bitcoin Gold is BitcoinZ, is it? )
regards
Because this is a SCAM, they generate a FAUX 'G' address for U, but they hold the PRIV-KEY, later U mine, and guess what, they steal your coin.
If U didn't generate YOUR address on a private off-line system, then its NOT your address
Pls why are you even asking questions like this?
This is newbie 101, in time I think "Getbitaddress.com" which works offline will support BTG, then u might be safe, but for NOW U must assume that ANY SITE THAT is called or call themselves ...
BTG*.COM is a SCAM site.
BTG*.org scam sites
BitcoinGold*.* are scam sites
***
Hell U want a 'G' address, I will make one for you and post IT and PRIV-key for you, and do as you wish
Every site on the internet is a SCAM, including sites that promise to generate you BTC addresses.
There is a REASON that we download the full-node software run it offline and generate our ADDRESSES offline with 'CLI', because then that way we know for sure that NOBODY but US has the private-key.
If U don't have the priv-key, you don't own the coin, if somebody else has/had access to the priv-key, then THEY OWN YOUR coin.
Thanks for your insight, just wondering, is Bitcoin-Z also a scam?
