We are discharging our Beta adaptation of ElectrumG, our fork of the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet venture for Bitcoin Gold. Electrum was first declared for Bitcoin in 2011. From that point forward, it has become a standout amongst the most mainstream Bitcoin wallets, both for clients and engineers, and we're excited to bring this notable bit of programming to the BTG Community.
We'd jump at the chance to say thanks to Spesmilo (Electrum) and Kyuupichan (ElectrumX) for their diligent work on the Electrum extends throughout the years, too every other person in the Open Source Community that has added to the creation and development of undertakings like these.
ElectrumG will be free and open-source* and an arrangement of decentralized ElectrumX servers on the Bitcoin Gold system will be facilitated by the Bitcoin Gold Organization, which will likewise give proceeded with improvement and support to the Electrum fork. Similarly as with every single early discharge, this product ought to be viewed as Beta until the point when the more extensive group has put it through hell, on testnet and on mainnet. (Some propelled usefulness may not yet be completely executed.)
All in all, what makes Electrum so extraordinary?
A SPV Wallet, yet Full-Featured
A SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) wallet doesn't have to store the whole blockchain, simply the headers – which Satoshi Nakamoto depicted as an approach to "confirm installments without running a full system hub." Since the measure of the entire blockchain is well more than 150 GB, this altogether decreases the framework prerequisites to run ElectrumG.
However ElectrumG is as yet a full-included wallet which interfaces with the Bitcoin Gold system to send and get exchanges continuously; this can make ElectrumG more responsive, stronger, and more independent than some other lightweight wallet approaches. What's more, it's stacked with highlights you don't discover in most "light" wallets.
Full Suite of Functions
Past a lovely interface, ElectrumG furnishes clients with:
seed recuperation states, a safe framework which is more easy to use than hexadecimal codes
wallet encryption
multi-signature wallets, for situations where control of assets should be circulated
simple import of Bitcoin address or private keys
capacity to make and sign crude exchanges disconnected and after that communicate
invoicing usefulness
cool stockpiling support
Later on, ElectrumG will likewise include:
equipment wallet availability, so you can utilize ElectrumG while keeping your private keys on an equipment wallet like Trezor or Ledger
For designers, ElectrumG gives:
an effective charge line interface
capacity to utilize cool stockpiling with the charge line
a GUI Python comfort
an ElectrumG daemon for scripted utilizations, such the capacity to acknowledge BTG on a site with marked installment demands
Reinforcing the Ecosystem
This wide usefulness makes ElectrumG an intense instrument! It's nothing unexpected that Electrum isn't only a prevalent wallet for control clients, yet in addition for designers of a wide range of crypto-based administrations.
Above all, discharges like this SPV wallet, and our current testnet v3 and designer assets, guarantee that the BTG condition is inviting to engineers. Remember that the absolute most imperative designers to the crypto space aren't really crypto engineers – designers outside of the crypto space who essentially need to utilize crypto as a feature of their ventures are basic to the proceeded with development and reception of crypto in reality.
We'll keep on working hard to ensure that engineers of a wide range of future crypto-related administrations can center around their center capabilities, rather than concentrating on the most proficient method to associate with the Bitcoin Gold change.
Buckling down and gaining ground,
The Bitcoin Gold Organization

Indeed! I need it now!
Keep in mind, this is Beta programming. It would be ideal if you report Issues on GitHub or the Forum. Linux clients ought to arrange from source; pre-assembled pairs are accessible for PC and Mac – recall: dependably check the hash while downloading pre-aggregated programming!
ElectrumG 3.2-beta downloads here
Once more, this is Beta programming. We suggest testing on the testnet as it were! This is a BETA! On the off chance that you wish to test on the live blockchain and work with genuine assets at your own particular tact, you can do as such. Note: before utilizing ElectrumG on the mainnet, please know about this known issue.
