i had BTC in my Bitcoin Core wallet from 10/16 and moved it on 10/28 however when i export the private key and sweep the wallet in my coinomi app it says "the private key does not contain any funds". on https://bitcoingold.org/ i checked my balance for my addresses with the same result(s) as the wallet sweep in coinomi

another odd thing... one wallet address had transactions for one day (.01 and .91) and i was only able to sweep that private key for (.01).

what is going on?!

If you're willing to share the actual address here we can investigate.  I've had no such problems myself.


I have the exact same problem, except this is/were a paper wallet. The address is: 19i24wX9EDemh1AKLBJB5mE7ShYay4XhBt

Bitcoin funds were present from 1 Aug to 10 Nov, yet I can find no BTG. If  someone can assist I'd appreciate it.

This address contains 6.75 BTG.  I see the txids on my own Bitcoin Gold full node (7 connections) and bitcoingold.org's balance checker reports the same.  Perhaps the problem is with the software you're using.

The Bitcoin Gold form of your address is: GSYwV4r6D5G4mUTcG7xHWXa1MsLRwKhKBH


If I stick that address into btgexp.com I get: Search found no results.

All I really want is to sweep it into coinomi. I used bitaddress.org (code running locally) to generate the address. The original private key did not work in coinomi, key not recognized if I remember correctly, so I used bitaddress.org - wallet details to convert to WIF private key. Key starts with 5Jay. Does this key need to be converted to something else, if so, how. I don't want to download the whole blockchain to use the core wallet.
