Yep, I did without issues. Doublecheck using the correct private key format.

My keys are not recognized. Has anyone recovered their BTG this way with Coinomi?
pre-snapshot i sent my coins to mycelilum
When I copy and paste my private key from mycelium into coinomi's sweep wallet i get the error "could not recognize the private key format"
coinomi does say supported formats wif, bip38, mini private key. and i thought i read elsewhere that mycelium uses bip44?
any tips or tricks or leads in the right direction?

What a nice and simple guide, I tried the mobile wallet some time ago - but sadly no go, so maybe can try the desktop version now. Will update in time.
Thanks for this

I moved my coins BTC coins to another wallet before doing this. But when i sweep my private key in Coinomi wallet,
the response says "The private key does not contain any funds". Why is this?

I think the problem is applicable to every one because I also tried claiming using the sweep function from Electrum but after showing the balance it does not show up again but I guess its as a result of TestNet MainNet issue which I believe should be resolved very soon so that everyone can be happy although the BTG team are really working behind time to make this available. I hope this is not faced in the case of SegWit2x.
That's what I need. hope to succeed! But now the exchange do not allow to withdraw and deposit BTG! So what do I have to do?
Finally..I bet a whole lot of people who have been in a hurry will be very excited right now. I think I'm gonna leave mine for now until I have figured out what to do next as I am currently worried about comprising myself. I am pretty sure we are going to see a whole lot of posts from people with keys being stolen. I don't want to be part of that statistic.
Now i tried sweep wallet from electrum private key it show balance correctly but i confirm fund. there is no transaction to transfer to Coinomi wallet . I am waiting very long time to confirm. Can anyone suggest me ?
how long does transaction take from Step 5? I tried it, showed up fine, but never swept it. Kinda lost. wasn't much mind you like $40, but still upset if it doesn't go through. Swept it twice, no change in balance, maybe takes time? Perhaps my current private key and coinomi are not compatible?
Time depends on current (BTG) network load ... few minutes.
So you can't see any incoming transaction to coinomi BTG wallet?
What happened when you "confirm the key sweep". Have you seen message (address, BTG balance)?
Update: looks like BTG team is working on the integration of my current wallet. I will be back and try again in a few days. I wonder how all these people got their BTG gold already? IS there like a futures market for BTG? Weird.
I got my first BTG from bitfinex (if you had BTC balance they credited BTG to account right after the fork).
Can i use seed key from electrum to clam BTG?
Not with coinomi. They support only individual private key formats (WIF, BIP38, mini ) if you have your BTG scattered among multiple addresses then you better wait for another wallet to implement BTG (idealy if electrum team decides to update).
most likely in your wallet there were no funds at the time of the hard-core that was on the 25th
How do I convert my electrum private keys into a QR code?
EDIT: used bitaddress.org i was able to do an individual private key into QR code.. however I got the same the private key does not contain any funds error (I had bitcoin in the wallet before the fork)
EDIT: actually might have worked.. I had to use the compressed private key QR code and not the normal one

If the mainnet is not live, you won't be able to.
Is the Bitcoin Gold mainnet live? According to their blog - https://bitcoingold.org/blog/ - they're still running the testnet, and the mainnet is still listed on their to-do list. [14:45 UCT]
Has anyone actually claimed BTG in their own wallet using the above instructions? I.e. not simply selling/buying on an exchange without moving it out of the exchange? If mainnet is not turned on, I don't think that would be possible.

Did it not have any funds at the time of the split (last Monday)?

Thanks for this tutorial. It does get the job done quick and dirty however it would be good to add whether or not the BTG blockchain is already live. Are you already able to claim then sell your BTG? I ask this because me and the guy i'm quoting below still can't access our BTG wallets.
Yes, you can check their website (bitcoingold.org) for a list of exchanges doing BTG futures.

This might come off as a stupid question, but one of my wallets only has around 0.4BTC. Would it still have the same amount of BTG? I was under the impression that only whole bitcoins will double.
Yes, you can claim 0.4 or 0.04 or 0.004 ... Whatever was on the BTC BlockChain is claimable.
