Send bitcoin gold from paper wallet to paper wallet
There are many ways to do this, but on this page I will try to describe the easiest way in my opinion. Some website ask you to enter a private key to claim your forked coins.
This is not the way to claim your coins. It could be a phishing website, the website could be hacked or someone could intercept your internet traffic resulting in loss of all your bitcoins. It is not needed but just good practice before you start working with a private key. If you bitcoins are stored on a paper wallet you find more information on how transfer on this page: What to do with my paper wallet?
Otherwise just create a transaction in your wallet and send to one of your own addresses: Copy the address from receive and paste it to send. Now look for your private keys. This is different for every wallet, in Electrum for instance go to the address tab and right click on an address which had funds on the day of the fork - could be in 'used' addresses - and then select 'Private Key'. If you cannot find a private key in your wallet you might have to unlock it first.
Install or update Coinomi on your android device. Follow the installation instructions and make sure you make a backup of the Coinomi recovery phrase. Go to the coin, select 'Sweep wallet' from the right menu and scan the QR code of the private key from the previous step. Your coins are now swept to your coinomi wallet and are visible within a few moments.
Once you have received the new coins in your Coinomi wallet it is up to you what to do with them. You can leave them in Coinomi, although this is not advised for larger amount as your phone is probably not a very secure device. Or you can transfer them to another wallet or exchange.
Coinomi also has the option to exhange coins within the same wallet. For instance to exchange from Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin: You can now choose how many funds you would like to exchange, select 'Next' and enter your password to proceed. Now your funds will be send to ShapeShift in the background and - this is a bit scary - disappear from your wallet, it can take a while before the bitcoins show up. Coineva - Cryptocurrency Code Factory. When can you claim your Bitcoin Cash or Gold?
You can not claim any forked coin if you stored your bitcoins on an exchange or online wallet. For sewit2x you need to wait but you can go ahead with Bitcoin Gold if you had BTC at the time of fork.
As soon as Coinomi wallet gives you full access to BTG wallet sweep your private keys of paper wallet their, then you should be able to get your BTG. I saw that coinomi app is not ready for iphone yet but soon. I have a bread wallet but I assume that I can not get BTG from there… I have read that you should move your bitcoin from your paperwallet to another place befor you use your private key to get hold on the BTG.
Is that possible to do? Can the wallet know it was BTC in when the fork took place anyway? Yeah you can do so only thing matters is you should have a BTC private key that had a positive BTC at the time of fork. After the fork that private key can have zero balance and still you will be able to claim BTG. Thank you very much for all this answers. I think I have it all on place now thanks to you. I am glad that I found this site. Not yet because Coinomis app does not work on iphone.
