Does anybody else having the problem with Coinomi, that the 3 little dots on the right upper side (which when you click show the 'sweep' function) are not showing up? I can't sweep because next to the QR sign, there is nothing else.

No. I don't have 3 little dots there. I see only QR code icon (right after clicking the icon i can scan the code)

OP says you just scan the QR code of your passphrase from Electrum, but that doesn't work in coinomi

I didn't say to use your passphrase. I specficaly mention to use private keys.


is there any way to get electrum passphrase or private key to a coinomi wallet?

Yes, there is. Just let your electrum to show you the QR of private key and scan it. But if you are using segwit address (begins with 3) it will not work.


or could I take the private keys from electrum and import them to new BTG wallet?

This is also option but requires you to download BTG blockchain ... which I found unnecessary for most users.

my electrum wallet has 162 private keys.....is there a faster way than adding them 1 by 1, or is there a way to figure out which private key has the BTG on it?

I udestand my way is unhandy for claiming coins from multiple addresses (not my case, I have tracked where my BTCs were before the fork happened and then swept only those addresses).
I'm pretty sure there is an option how to claim coins from multiple privatekeys (using your wallet seed) but I don't know the specific procedure. If somobody is aware, feel free to share it and I will update the OP.

Question, how did you sweep private keys from Electrum into Iconomi wallet? I have a list of many private keys from Electrum and I don't see an easy way as there is no QR code in Electrum.

It is. Right click address, Show prv. key. And there is a little button to show QR.
But I'm using electrum 2.9.3 (3.0 not working on my system) ... and I'm also not sure if coinomi will work with electrum 3.0 (as it is using different address format ... that might be reason why so many users had issues)



Actually it works. Just exported BTG from Electrum 3.0.2 to Iconomi. Thanks!!

I thank you for your feedback.
Just for sure. Did you used coinomi? (not Iconomi)

Yes, small typo Smiley Thanks again

Sweep and enter seed from mycelium to coinomi does not work, key format not recognized, however restore wallet from scratch in coinomi works right away with the same seed.

At first I set the derivation path when adding the btg coin in Coinomi to M/44H/0H/0H, no btg showed up. I added a second btg coin part in the same Coinomi but now without altering the derivation path and the coins showed up right away.

Thanks for info. I'll update OP with your insights.

Hi when i have to keep bitcoin to receive bitcoin gold? i hold some bitcoin a week ago but i got nothing now.  Embarrassed

BTG was credited to every address that held BTC at time of fork (snapshot was made 25.10.2017). So if you received your BTC later then you have no BTG.

Tried to import my key into Coinomi via the sweep function and its states that the address does not have any funds.

Confirmed on the explorer that it does have funds. Anyone else stuck here or have other options?

Which explorer you are using? The one at home page: https://bitcoingold.org   ??

Yes

Hmm, then I don't know what to do. Contact their support or try some other wallets ( freewallet is updated as well ).


Good turiotal for sure. I could use this dirty way to make a good money. Thank you!
absolutely great Karma by OP many members already have some good free money we need members like this here on forum which give good help with tutorials on time for others keep this spirit up  Grin

Thanks. I'm glad to help and superhappy that at least some guys succeed with BTG claim.

Thanks for the guide.

Personalyl used coinomi to import my private keys and everything worked fine. Pretty much got my coins in my wallet and it was an easy process, would recommend others who have not done so already do it as well.

It's pretty much a free $150 at least per bitcoin you hold, if you don't claim it now then i think value may go down in future.
