Electrum Bitcoin Gold wallet ht tps://www.electrum-gold.org

does anyone try it?
if i have to import my btc private key to this btcgold wallet, does i need anyway to move my bt  to an other wallet before? There is really the risk of my btc stolen or lost?


No, and I will not (hope nobody tried). I haven't even visited the site but read this:

Electrum Gold released (edit)electrum-gold.org

CAUTION

Above mentioned wallet is not "official electrum wallet".
Personaly I'm very sceptical about it as to me it looks like the author is just trying to take advatage of well known "electrum wallet" to lure people (what other reason could be to name it like that ??)
Use at your own risk.

EDIT: @CryptoVinny - it's your first and only post  Cheesy ..  Im pretty sure you are the author ... nice try, but next time try to find better way to make money then from scamming others.
Now GTFO.

Likely a scam indeed. Bitcoingold.org does not show any electrum variant as wallet and the site linked above links to at first glance shady pages that ask you to "import" your private keys/seeds. For some reason they require you to have a current bitcoin (BTC) balance, which is bullshit. You just needed to have a BTC balance for block 491406 in order to have BTG now.

1. there is no need to have BTC balance at the address now  (operator is just hungry and wants to scam you both coins )
2. The entire thing how was announced was shaddy. Proper wallet would make ANN thread rather than just random posts in threads asking how to get BTG.

When using this you are risking losing your BTG (and also BTC if you give him prv. key with both coins on it) and I dare to say the chance you lose them is 100%.

Check my post above. Coinomi is well know wallet with lot of satisfied customers and will include BTG soon.
