Support for BTG

morrisonbrett opened this issue · 16 comments

Will you be adding support for Bitcoin Gold? Would love to "claim" my BTG balance pre-fork.

Hello @morrisonbrett
The feature to claim BTG was recently added to the recovery tool..
The procedure is similar to BCH claim. You just have to select the 'btg/livenet' chain
Regards

Thank you. Happy to say it worked. I was able to transfer the coins via the tool - But, only after I changed line 86 in recovery.service.ts from:

addressType: payload.addressType || "P2SH",

to

"P2SH",

You guys should consider fixing the issue that's causing this.

@Stoinkler be sure you are selecting the right chain.

matiu commented

Same as @Stoinkler for me.
Could it be what @morrisonbrett says ?
Thanks in advance...

matiu commented

we will look at this issue today. thanks for the report.

Thanks @matiu. I see it in this PR: #109

I was able to get balances for my 2-of-3 multisig. I did not need to do the addressType fix as suggested to find the balances. It just failed as it tried to send the raw transaction to another BTG address due to insufficient fee.

@martyzigman that's great. The PR #109 isn't merged as of the time of this comment. Hopefully it will be soon and other users that have run into this will be able to also free their coins. There's also another PR #107 that isn't merged as of the time of this comment that increases the fee.

@morrisonbrett makes sense now. I'll standby for the merge and when ready, I can test.

Has the problem been solved? I tried to use the recovery tool for the btg and search came back zero. Thank you

@matiu has the issue been solved? I did the recovery tool and it says my balance is zero btg. Thank you for help

Claiming BTG from multisig fails. It finds BTG corectly, but when you want to transfer to btg address (nano leger s) it just goes on forever.

How can i STOP it

Terrible. Mine says zero and it's no way zero! Either post a proper link with step by step instructions or better yet do it the same way you did it with bch on our wallets.

I'm getting this CORS header error trying to recover BTG (Bitcoin gold). But It worked for BTC and BCH.
