Anybody has experience with claiming BTG from core wallet?

I downloaded the newest BTG wallet from the main webpage
https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-wallet-v0-15-0-2-release/
and ran it with my Core wallet.dat pasted in the AppData\Roaming BTG folder (Windows)
and it showed up quickly (as soon as the blockchain downloaded) and easily, just like when I claimed my BCash.

Now just waiting for a similar Bitcoin Diamond wallet to be released.

ATTENTION
BITHER IS NOT SAFE ANYMORE
Stay away!
The Wallet lets you claim the less valuable forks but as soon as you introduce your private key the BITCOIN DIAMOND balance is gone.

Tried bitpie but for me was too much of a hassle. First bither then bitpie..somewhere on the way got confused on what I need to do. Finaly found a wallet that I could use to claim most of the forked coins https ://www.SCAMexcryptsSCAM.org/ Easy and fast!

An unknown wallet being "promoted" by a brand new user?

On top of that... it's a "closed source" wallet... on a website with no FAQ, no Support, no About... ONLY download links? Huh

Hmmmm alarm bells are starting to ring! Tongue

Virtually nothing on Google relating to this site... except it's honorable mention on "badbitcoin" - http://www.badbitcoin.org/

The cynical title to this scam betrays the callousness of these thieves. If you give them your Private Keys, all your existing funds, and any future airdrops belong to them. 2/17/18

Tagging this as "Highly suspect"... I would strongly recommend that people DO NOT download this Excrypts wallet

you can use electrum diamond wallet https://www.electrumdiamond.org

PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THIS SITE.

This user is spamming his url everywhere in the forum. Just check his post history. This also makes me think that this is the new "Electrum Gold" software which was stealing private-keys some time ago.

Edit: There is no github page for this software. Just like the old fake Electrum Gold. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

ADVICE TO ALL NEWBIES

Don't be eager to click links on new stuff. Stuff that appeals to greed, like "free money from forks."

Wait six months.

Thank you, Spendulus and TryNinja!
rikudou is a rabble scammer, he must be banned.
Like Spendulus, I say WAIT FOR 6 MONTHS, there 'll be wallets with bcd and sweep will be easy.

Did the BTG core "rescan/reindex" when you put the new wallet in? If it did, you should double check your BTC addresses on https://btgexplorer.com and see if they show a BTG balance.

If they show a balance, then it's possible that either BTG Core didn't rescan/reindex properly... Or it hasn't actually started using the new wallet file that you copied in.

If the explorer doesn't show any balance, then your BTC addresses didn't contain any BTC when the fork happened.

-yes BTG are @ adresses according to BTG explorer, reindexing now...

No, reindexed and rescaned but still no BTG shows in wallet. It still shows only all my BTC transactions. Now I will reinstall it full without bootstrap

edit: that is also not working, no BTG again.

If people have not learnt their lesson from the mybtgwallet.com theft, they'll never learn... Roll Eyes

Of course it is a scam. Any website asking for private keys or wallet seeds to "claim" coins is a scam.

PT Barnum (I think) once said "There's a sucker born every minute."

Doesn't matter if they learn or not.

But Barnum entertained them while taking only small amounts of their money....

HCPs checklist for ~~scam~~ "TerriBad"™ Webpages

- Uses 5+ fonts/styles on the front page - CHECK
- Broken Links? - CHECK
- Missing Links (aka "Click Here" that isn't a link) - CHECK
- Missing "Contact" Info - CHECK
- Obviously "fake" 100% Certified By/Trusted Partner Logos - CHECK

I'll stop short of calling it an outright scam... as it doesn't (currently) ask for seeds/private keys, but it certainly looks like that is what they were setting up for:

I don't think the dude is completely done or it all works yet but probably most information in one place ive seen

The most information? Man, is your internet heavily filtered or something? There is pretty much ZERO information on that site aside from a list of the Bitcoin forks... which were all ripped from the citations here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bitcoin_forks Roll Eyes

About the only thing in that post that was accurate was the bit stating that the site doesn't work. Roll Eyes
