I hope someone can help me with what to do now (because I want to use my BTC now but want to get my BTG when it is supported on the ledger nano s), I think more people want to know this:
So:
On (
https://www.ledger.fr/2017/10/25/status-bitcoin-gold - as-bitcoin-block-491472/)
it says:Since the replay protection mechanism is unknown, its recommended to stop transacting on the Bitcoin network if you think your assets on the Bitcoin Gold network could be valuable.
Can I now move my BTC out of my ledger nano s wallet and still get BTG when the wallet supports it (it doesnt, yet)?
Solution??: Maybe by sweeping my BTC into another wallet then send it somewhere (and how do I keep the old keys of the wallet where BTG should come to?)
If someone know a step by step to make sure that everything goes wells , would be appreciated.
AFAIK the Bitcoin Gold network isn't live yet. But the blockchain snapshot has been taken. Which means that your address containing Bitcoins will receive BTG coins after the network is live but you can't "redeem" them yet. So, for now it should be safe to move your coins to another wallet - by sweeping or just sending it manually - and still spend your BTG coins in another time.
