Collecting free Bitcoin Gold ($BTG) coins with Coinomi wallet

in #btg7 years ago

Important Notice
Please note that you won’t be able to claim your $BTG or make any valid transactions with your $BTG wallet before the BitcoinGold network’s scheduled fork on November 1st 2017. After the fork your $BTG wallet will show up inside your Coinomi and will be fully functional.

The BitcoinGold wallet will only get enabled inside your Coinomi after the snapshot, so you can’t see or add it just yet, the BTC blockchain snapshot will take place on block 491407, which is expected to get mined on October 25th 2017. If you have Bitcoins in your Coinomi wallet at that time you don’t need to do anything in particular and you will receive your BitcoinGold after the scheduled fork simply by following the instructions below.

What to do

Simply send all of your Bitcoins to your Coinomi wallet and keep them there until block 491407. After that block you can spend or move out your Bitcoins

Update your wallet

First, please make sure that you have Coinomi Wallet’s latest version installed. If not, please open your Play Store app, click on the top left menu, select “My apps & games” and then click on the “Update” button next to “Coinomi Wallet”.

Add BitcoinGold

Now open your wallet, click on the top left menu, then hit the “+ COINS” button in the button and select “BitcoinGold” from the mind-blowing list of Coinomi’s 86 supported coins and 214 tokens.

A pop-up dialogue will appear, asking if BitcoinGold should be added. Hit the “ADVANCED SETTINGS” button. If you clicked “Add” instead you need to delete your BitcoinGold wallet and add a new one. In the “Derivation Path” please enter

M/44H/0H/0H

Please note that the characters before “H” are zeroes and not O’s.

Hint: If you have more than one Bitcoin wallets in your Coinomi and want to claim the equivalent BTG you will have to repeat the above process, replacing each time the last zero with the (zero-based) account index, so for the second wallet this would be M/44H/0H/1H, for the third wallet it would be M/44H/0H/2H, and so forth.

Now click “ADD”.

That’s it! Your $BTG wallet is now ready!

If you're new to crypto world, I would recommend you to move your Bitcoin to coinomi to make the claiming easier
