RE: ASSISTANCE - BITCOIN GOLD FORK (LEDGER WALLET)
Thank you for your response. I am still not understanding how the BTG will be credited to my ledger wallet... I thought the BTG fork already occurred today? If I was holding BTC in my ledger wallet during the BTG fork, I was under the impression that I would be credited the same amount of BTC in BTG on my ledger wallet, is that correct? Also, now since the fork already happened, am I able to move my BTC from the ledger wallet or will I lose the chance of receiving BTG?
Bitcoin Gold is supposed to have strong replay protection, so I see no problem moving and using your BTC post gold fork. To claim your Bitcoin Gold, you may still need to wait a while longer until you have a trusted walet that supports Bitcoin Gold, then follow instructions given for that wallet. Essentially, if you had your coins in a ledger wallet at the time of the snap shot, you should be just fine moving your BTC. However, I would make sure your BTC all stays put in your ledger wallet after the Nov. 18th fork, and not move or spend it until we know what is going on. That is because there will not be replay protection, and there is plenty of unknowns with regards to which surviving blockchain will ultimately be BTC.
