Before Bitcoin Gold Fork i had some 0.01 BTC in my Electrum wallet. I moved away that fund only couple of two weeks ago.
I tried everything i can to claim my BTG:
Most notably using Coinomi wallet, and using their instructions https://coinomi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/29000016909-i-didn-t-have-btc-in-coinomi-at-the-time-of-the-snapshot-how-do-i-claim-btg-. I imported the seed of my Electrum wallet restoring it in Coinomi,after i had made it empty for obvious security reasons.
This would not have worked correctly... Electrum seeds ARE NOT BIP39 compatible, with generally means that Electrum seeds ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with any other known wallet... I tried everything i can to claim my BTG:

Is there any way that i can claim this BTG? 
Yes, but it will need to be done manually... In your Electrum wallet, you need to go to your "Addresses" tab and look at ALL the addresses... receive and change... "used" and unused.https://i.imgur.com/259rzvA.png
Export the private key for EVERY address that has a non-zero TX value. Some of them may not have any BTG (as they might have been empty at the time of the fork), but if you export all of them, you're won't miss any coins
Don't forget to look through all your "change" as well as "receive" addresses... including both "used" and "unused".Then you simply import all the private keys into the BTG wallet of your choice... and your BTG should show up
What you want to look for is all the addresses that you can find that has a non-zero "Tx" value... A non-zero "Tx" value means that the address MUST have received coins at some point:
This made the trick: Thanks a lot!
[Edit: some cleaning up]
I tried to claim BTG coins into Coinomi wallet using these instructions .
But all addresses i tried resulted in the error of: "The private key does not contain any funds."
Am i missing something here?

[Solved] Previous due payment not visible after switching...
[Edit: 
I did not notice there was two tabs from within the page, one for BTC and the other for BCC]
I have been mining in pool.bitcoin.net and after switching from BTC to BCC i have not seen the previous due payment (BTC).
I switched back just to see if it is linked to what i am mining but it is still not updating after halve an hour.
Does thins mean that previously mined BTC is gone? So that switching have to be done after withdrawing all earned coins?

Never keep money on exchange - this is first gold rule in crypto. Always try to avoid this at all cost, no matter how long exchange is in business and how trusted they are. if I keep my money on my favourite exchanges: Mintpal and BTC-e today I will have nothing left. I didn't expect Bittrex to disable user accounts without any statement, it will impact their business badly.
Thats what i tell everyone. There is no Bitcoin insurance , and if a disaster strikes, no one will replace your Bitcoins. A bitcoin exchange can be made from a free and readily available script on GiHub. For security reason one can hire a certified security expert. That expert might hold only a certificate, if he is very talented he might be recruited somewhere else. He might wank few times a day.
In a scenario a worker is suspected of being steeling bitcoins, using only common sense, it is hard to prove that you have Bitcoins on you, and if you do really have them hidden somewhere it is almost certain that they are gone for ever!
Guys, It is no brainer that when crypto is getting more value everyday, hackers will work full time on exchange centers, because the reward is huge and fully numeric!
I do not understand how someone can save over 30K of value into a Crypto exchange, and go sleeping. no matter how they tell you about their security, they are more vulnerable than you!, They have more surface to attack!
