Wait, whoa whoa whoa. If I move my BTC I'm fine right? If I understand this correctly it goes:

If I move my BTC I could lose BTG, but my BTC is safe.

If I move my BTG I could lose BTC, but my BTG is safe.


This would mean it is most important not to touch BTG correct?


If BTC is moved first, to an address that you control (e.g. other address in same wallet),
then both should be safe.

In the worst case, the BTG has moved together with BTC due to lack of replay protection. Waste of fee but you still own both.



I've been trying ot understand one thing. Could someone please try to explain me?

1. Let's say a move all my BTCs to a brand new wallet.
2. The transaction is confirmed and I can see my BTCs on the new wallet.
3. I import my private keys into a wallet which supports BTG and I see that my BTGs are there, i.e, they haven't been replayed.

Is that enough to say that my coins were successfully split?
