Just finished loading my BTG from my BTC address :
- Downloaded the Windows wallet from the BTG website
and sync'ed it fully (took a day and half) then encrypted
it with a passphase.
- Moved my BTC to another wallet address for security
- Got the private key for the old address using the Bitcoin
core wallet console:
walletpassphase 'wallet passphrase' 600
dumpprivkey 'wallet address'
walletlock
- From the Bitcoin gold wallet console:
walletpassphase 'wallet passphrase' 600
importprivkey "bitcoinprivkey"
walletlock
This activates a re-scan to locate your coins and within the
hour my BTG appeared with new 'G' address that has the
BTC private key.
Next I'm going to move these to the address provided
after the sync of the BitcoinGold wallet for safety.
Happy retrieving, I've got nowhere to send them but at least
I have them
