How to convert them via Blockchain.info? Can someone explain how the conversion happened with Bitcoin Cash if Bitcoin Gold conversion will be same as Bitcoin Cash?

It is a bit complicated - much more so than with the "old" blockchain.info wallets before 2015 - because Blockchain.info now uses "BIP39" addresses. That means roughly that you have a "seed phrase" which is a kind of "master password" for all your addresses. But each address still has its own private key, so it's a bit confusing ...

A tutorial is here:

How to export Blockchain wallet private key.

Really, you should do this step by step and download the BIP39 generator page,  NOT using an online BIP39 generator - it may be malware!

Once you have the private keys, you import them one by one into your new "ForkBTC" client - the process is different for each client software.



Thank for explanation. I will look at tutorial once I get home.
