Topic: How to Safely Claim Bitcoin Gold - page 2. (Read 13860 times)

Can't wait to receive mine from bittrex then,cos I left my btc on bittrex.

Will those who had BTC on October 25th be able to claim their BTG later even if they sold their BTC today?
Will the procedure of installing a BTG node and then copy your old BTC wallet work?

Yes, Bittrex will deposit BTG. But they will do it when they have a working wallet. So wait for Nov 1st or later, because not the network is up yet. Here is the statement from Bittrex and they will not open a BTG market.

HitBTC and Yobit is already trading BTG, because they opened a market and credited people with BTG.

Does anyone actually got some BTG ? It seems that no one has. There is some trading activity in several places though.

I thought keeping bitcoin in bittrex will fetch me bitcoin gold as it gave bitcoin cash in the previous fork. but they have not yet credited bitcoin gold .i think those who had private keys with them they have claimed bitcoin gold successfully.

You would have to transfer your private key to a certain wallet that they have though you will need to wait a while until the team officially announces how to redeem BTC for BTG.

The securest way to gain Bitcoin Gold should be to move first Bitcoin out of the wallet. Your history will be enough, so it doesn't matter now, when wallet is empty., you although get BTG, when you had Bitcoin on it during fork.

Worth grabbing, sure, imagine if you decide to despise every coin´s beginning. most of them don´t start so high. most of them are worth cents and still, people rush for the airdrop. maybe isn´t much but a few dollar here and there add up. I am still waiting for the setup of the wallet, but with all these people trying to dump and causing the huge plunge, I better keep mine for better days.

I hold my btc in ledger nano s and yes, they support segwit2x
But I still don't know when will I can claim my BTG, lol.
But nice now all BTG can transfer as well without missing your btg

we lost a lot of opportunities to hold BTC till the snapshot !

i hope they will send us our BTG !!

I did the exact same thing as you with BCash, sending the BCash from the ElectronWallet to Kraken and then exchanging it for BTC there.

Critical for safety is step 1 as then all your BTC is moved to new addresses which only exist on the original chain - nothing that happens on the new chain can then affect those funds. This assumes no replay has occurred.

If replay DID occur on the new chain, step 1 would be paralleled on the new chain.

NEVER do a transaction on the new chain from addresses which have BTC balances on the original chain as a replay would move these latter funds also. Always check the balances of these addresses on the original chain are zero, so no replay is possible to that chain.

With BGold if you do step 1, check it has not been replayed to the new chain. Then once a wallet supporting BGold has been found, do Step 3 with that wallet. If replay happened, then in Step 3 you would see balances of zero. If the original balances are there however, in BTG, then no replay has happened.

You can then go ahead and send these BTG funds to an exchange for conversion to BTC. No replay to original chain of this can happen - because on the original chain these address balances are zero, because you shifted the funds to new addresses in Step 1.

As well as a wallet supporting BGold we need a blockchain explorer for BGold so we can check the BTG balances of addresses. We can compare this to the balances of these same addresses on Bitcoin Blockchain.info Explorer at each stage to ensure we know exactly what's happening, and to check if replay has occurred.

If you are being attacked by replays then you need to investigate how you can counteract them, eg see below for one suggestion :-

Note when you are sending funds to your own addresses, the replay attack does not cause any loss of funds since it is only being sent to yourself. If sending to a trusted honourable party then again they would likely just return you the additional funds mistakenly sent to them, so there would be no loss. Replay attack can only cause loss of funds if the receiver is NOT a trusted honourable party, and might NOT return the funds you mistakenly sent. Replay attack only sends funds to the SAME RECEIVING ADDRESS(ES) as you specified in your original transaction.

I am not sure that blockchain.info is accepting the segwit2x and gives the reward for bitcoin gold.
I have some bitcoin in the coinbase wallet and I got the notification from the coinbase support team states that bitcoin gold reward will given for the bitcoin we saved in our wallet that amount of bitcoin we saved there.

agreed. i am waiting. got too much btc i dont wanna risk for a few hundred dollars

I have bitcoin stored in blockchain.info wallet . Does it support the current fork? How can I get the bitcoingold coin from the wallet?

I think the safest way to claim bitcoin gold is simply to use wallets that are supporting the release of bitcoin gold. There are no more other additional tasks. You just have to simply park your Bitcoin and then wait for the wallet to give you Bitcoin Gold for free in the amount equal to the bitcoin you are storing such wallets. That was already done several hours ago, when Bitcoin Gold was officially introduced.

Yobit will gonna add the bitcoin gold in their trading and already they started  their timer to run in their site.

Gotta wait for the Wallet to come put, even then who in the hell trusts a wallet with your private keys? Plus, BTG is only worth $120 now lol. Not sure its even worth grabbing.

It's important to keep in mind that Bitcoin Gold forked off the original chain without replay protection! I would suggest waiting a few days (or even weeks) until the dust is settled so you don't risk your (true) Bitcoins when making any kind of transaction.

BTG is traded already on yobit.net

I'll be waiting, but likely not taking any part in it at all. With the Cash split, btc.com launched a tool to extract your cash from other platforms that didn't support it. I imagine that something similar will appear again, providing it doesn't just completely bomb.
