Why one txid from Aug 1st in BTC chain has different addresses in BTG chain? Shouldn´t be the same?
txid: 9147d6ad1976f4250a5acc8f048037fddc3d108a03bed22d8dd0c88ad84ae936

Coinomi wallet? I visited their application page on GooglePlay. People are complaining about stealing their funds after exchanging BTG. There are complaints that they didn't receive BTG at all. Furthermore, Coinomi delete negative comments! Smells scammy. Aren't you one of them?

just a reminder that if you still hold legacy BTC, (or held on Oct 24) you can get (and sell) free BTG. It's a pain in the ass but at almost $250 a coin, might be worth it.

There's been other articles written about this but i'll just give you the summary as I see it. My opinions/method only. Use at your own risk.

Move all your BTC AND BCH to new wallets. Not just new addresses, but new wallets, to be sure safe, because you might be exposing your private keys to the old addresses. Do this very carefully. If your coins are in cold storage, only move via offline signing. If you don't know how to do this confidently and safely you might just consider not doing any of this. Its important to move both BTC and BCH if they are on the same addresses or the same wallet (seed). The reason to be paranoid and use a whole new wallet is that a master public key and a single private key can be used to access the entire wallet.

Once all your coins are safely in cold storage in new wallets, proceed to step 2:

step 2: Download the coinomi wallet. Sweep the private keys of your old addresses into the wallet.

step 3: use changelly or another service to sell your BTG for the coin of your choice.
