This is basically my situation.
I had some bitcoin in my blockchain.info wallet and I kept it there as they said it needed to be there on the day of the BTG fork. I do have a private key which a friend figured out for me.
Now it seems that my blockchain.info wallet does not support bitcoin gold. I tried to find some information on what to do to be able to claim my BTG or even if it's possible at all, but cant find any concrete info.
I read somewhere that I can transfer my wallet to a wallet that does support BTG. I heard the hardware wallet Ledger nano does support BTG. So if I buy a ledger nano would I be able to claim my BTG on there? If yes, please tell me how.
Please help me out here. If my story is missing any info, let me know.
Thank you in advance.
Be careful of using new or unknown wallets, even officially endorsed once.
Some days ago a lot of users got their private keys stolen by using
mybtgwallet.comBefore you do anything, make a new wallet and transfer all your bitcoins to that new wallet.
Besides Ledger, your safest option now would be coinomi.com . Install the app on your phone or tablet, then sweep the old private keys.
