It is but I've had other stuff thrown on my lap these past couple days which need my immediate attention. So, no guarantees.

I also have some BTG in my wallet, but I can fully understand if goatpig does not want to touch that "project" with a ten foot pole.

Bitcoin Gold is heavily premined, and would have been ignored if they had not generated interest by airdropping the coin to all BTC holders.  They have a history of linking to key-stealing wallets from their web page, wallets that steal both the BTG and the BTC when an unsuspecting user tries to split the coins (both a "web wallet" which asked you to type in the seed, and then promptly took all funds; and 'Electron Gold' which is a fork of Electrum claiming to be from the same developer as Electron Cash, but said developer is very busy warning against it on Reddit, and has posted documentation claiming that it transmits the private keys).

It stinks of scam.  I guess the only reason the price is still high is that the developers try to pump it - which of course is an argument for dumping as much BTG as possible :-)
