<p>I had some bitcoin on Electrum and some on Coinbase before the October fork. I assume I won't be able to claim Bitcoin gold for the amount that was on Coinbase. </p>

<p>Since the fork, I've moved all my Bitcoin to a Ledger Nano S. When I try to use their Split Tool, it doesn't show a balance. I've seen a number of how-tos that entail using a Coinomi which only works on an Android device (of which I do not own). </p>

<p>So my question it, how do I obtain my Bitcoin Gold now that my Bitcoin is on my Ledger Nano S?</p>

If you like, you can run Coinomi with Google Chrome using the ARC Welder browser extension to run [the Coinomi APK program file](https://coinomi.com/downloads/).

# How to Obtain Bitcoin Gold Without Using Coinomi

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-06)

I had some bitcoin on Electrum and some on Coinbase before the October fork. I assume I won't be able to claim Bitcoin gold for the amount that was on Coinbase.

Since the fork, I've moved all my Bitcoin to a Ledger Nano S. When I try to use their Split Tool, it doesn't show a balance. I've seen a number of how-tos that entail using a Coinomi which only works on an Android device (of which I do not own).

So my question it, how do I obtain my Bitcoin Gold now that my Bitcoin is on my Ledger Nano S?

However, you can use one of the wallets listed under [Bitcoin Gold official webpage](https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/) if you trust them.  
Honestly, I wouldn't trust all the wallets they endorse since after the two major incidents that happened a while ago.

[Incident 1](https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-gold-wallet-scam-nets-3-million-illicit-earnings/) - One of the wallet provider they endorsed turned out to be malicious.  
[Incident 2](https://bitcoingold.org/vulnerable-wallets/) - Their official wallet got compromised.

As of now I only deem Coinomi, Ledger and Trezor as the trustworthy wallets for BTG.
