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.
Yes you are right BTG promised that there will be replay protection but they failed to do so.
but there is a way how you can use bitcoin.
1.1st buy a little ammout of bitcoin from any renouned website or from some one you useally buy bitcoins.
2.send this bitcoins to your main wallet address .
3.example if you have 1 btc before the snapshot of BTG .now send another .1 btc to this address.
4.Now you can spend your bitcoin from your main wallet cause that previous 1 btc only had the risk to replayed .
but now as you have 1.1 btc it will not get replayed.
5.and you still get the btg from that old bitcoin address as the snapshot is already there.
hope this helps you.
