So I figure my bitcoin gold should be on the "My Wallet" and the associated memoric seed - i used the Mnemonic Code Converter but it doesn't work. Coinomi says no funds. I can see my public address 13DHVtddXSzfieFL9M66ucWgdDxgByy1U3  is derived and using the associated private key.

But when I check - According to the bitcoin gold website my coins sit with the following public key: 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd

Which is the FROM address on the transaction I made after the snapshot... https://blockchain.info/tx/8604216bd08691fe6b6cb9a7c7b4ea2c189fbcd65b61a687db8c8f18e2efae45

I thought 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd applies to "My Wallet" but it doesnt come up as a derived public key.
It will... but not using the Derivation Path you think, because as Potato Chips has already mentioned... 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd is a "change" address... so you need to search the "Internal" addresses...

Using the Mnemonic Code Convertor (https://iancoleman.io/bip39/) put your seed in, click BIP44... if you don't see your 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd address generated, change the "External/Internal" value to 1 (BIP32 Derivation Path should display as: m/44'/0'/0'/1)... and then start checking the addresses... you should find it Wink

yesssir! 🫡
Address 2 (1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd) received an X amount of bitcoin on block 491312 thats why if you check, it has 3.43450183 BTG.
I'm talking about this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/b835fef869143dcb605a821b938879d9fe4e1d9566f57a3da98ce7dbdc6c0c3d. And I'm guessing since you don't know address 2, It must be a change address.. It basically means you used a whole bill of 3.43552895 BTC to send .001BTC+fees so your wallet generated a new address and sent the change there.  

Now Address 2 must be on the My wallet on blockchain.info. What you should do is to get its corresponding keys and import it on any BTG client. Funds did not showed up because you only got the keys of Address 1 (13DHVtddXSzfieFL9M66ucWgdDxgByy1U3) which has 0 BTG.

For exporting you can use the tool again. You might wanna read this: http://bl4nkcode.info/bitcoin/how_to_export_blockchain_wallet_private_key
Or you can also import your backup phrase/seed on electrum and access it there: https://goo.gl/7ce5ei. When electrum prompts you to enter your seed/backup phrase make sure to tick the BIP39 Seed Box on Options

Hello,

Hoping someone can help.

As you may know the Bitcoin gold snapshot was taken on BLOCK 491407.

I made this transaction and it processed before the snapshot:
https://blockchain.info/tx/36a7b6f29d91751f5401a8c2415c069914820fe869e5981fd09f3104b1d50741
This transaction was from my Trezor to "My Wallet" on blockchain.info

I then moved my BTC to another older style wallet on blockchain.info - the format that just has a private key. Versus the memoric seed of the My Wallet mentioned above. I thought this would be better to access my bitcoin gold later.  However it was processed after the snapshot: https://blockchain.info/tx/8604216bd08691fe6b6cb9a7c7b4ea2c189fbcd65b61a687db8c8f18e2efae45

So I figure my bitcoin gold should be on the "My Wallet" and the associated memoric seed - i used the Mnemonic Code Converter but it doesn't work. Coinomi says no funds. I can see my public address 13DHVtddXSzfieFL9M66ucWgdDxgByy1U3  is derived and using the associated private key.

But when I check - According to the bitcoin gold website my coins sit with the following public key: 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd

Which is the FROM address on the transaction I made after the snapshot... https://blockchain.info/tx/8604216bd08691fe6b6cb9a7c7b4ea2c189fbcd65b61a687db8c8f18e2efae45

I thought 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd applies to "My Wallet" but it doesnt come up as a derived public key.

I am not sure where 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd came from? as I thought it was on 13DHVtddXSzfieFL9M66ucWgdDxgByy1U3

So very confused now! what is the associated private key with 1Nqhof6fqp11pUrnRW8AuYcLnBzZKKVrzd?

I hope this make sense. If someone can help me ill pay you .25BTG! Promise!

Btw these transaction were 11 minutes apart...
