Can you please advise which online wallets are considered as private and will be illegible for Fork? I have payeer, coinbase, cryptopay and exodus. Thanks
Coinbase, Cryptopay and very probably Payeer are not "proper" wallets. "Your" Bitcoins there are controlled by a third party. Exodus seems to give you a proper private key, but I never used it so I don't know how to download the key.
If you don't want to download a wallet like Electrum you can transfer your BTC to one of these online wallets (according to
https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/web/, look there for more information!):
- Green Address
- BitGo
- BTC.com
- Coin.Space
Hey I'm in the same boat as OP here, I'm currently using a blockchain.info wallet.
- Is this a proper wallet?
Blockchain.info: Yes, you can use it because they give you the private keys of all addresses. You however will have to convert them, probably, into the format used by the Bitcoin Gold wallet.
- Will i just receive the btc straight into there and i don't have to do anything?
- IF NOT, would it go straight into a paper wallet?
You would most likely have to download a "real" client (=a dedicated software app) from the "Bitcoin Gold" team and import the private key you exported from your wallet (e.g. Blockchain.info or Exodus) into this application. Then you could use the private keys.
You can do that when you want - there is no "deadline" or something similar, because your private key will be valid on both chains, BTC and BTC Gold.
