Good idea, lets all trust the n00b account spamming links to drop your private keys for fools gold.
Thats indeed cocky
Yes it is and that is because I have been here long enough to see these scammers use sockpuppet accounts to rip off all the n00bs that have been showing up so I now assume a n00b account is a thief until I see otherwise. It is unfortunate as I was the fool that took people at their word until proven otherwise but this space has made me jaded. When it comes to money the criminals abound. you would be well served to heed this warning.
please send all your BTC to a new wallet before you try to claim your BTC Gold. And it does not matter which tool you are using. if you do this all the scammers will get a private key / seed to an empty BTC wallet.
Good point.
Just to clarify: So if I send all my BTC to a new wallet, the BTG will remain on the old one?
Yes if it had those funds on the time of the snapshot. BTG is nothing more than a copy of the blockchain with code changed to add a pre-mine and change the algo. It was delayed because during that time replay attack code was needed, which was available from btc repository, but they were too incompetent to integrate that code for weeks. Just as an FYI many alts did integrate that same code quickly and with no issues.
BTW I don't have much time in my life so I do not write out long explanations any longer and that is why you will just see short quips from me but you will find if you heed them you will be the better off for it. I have saved alot of people alot of time effort and pain by pointing out stuff n00bs would have gotten rekt by. And your welcome that I just spent 5 minutes of my life explaining this too you a total stranger. <<-- was that too cocky for you?
