just read the title want to have all info on it.

Bitcoin gold (which uses BTG as abbreviation ) is another crypto currency that will launch on November ( after bitcoin had fork . PS it's not x2 fork)
Read this article , it will clarify most things of BTG https://bitcointechtalk.com/bitcoin-gold-what-you-need-to-know-8b3e645be409
I'd like to add something : you will receive an amount of  BTG that equals to what you have in bitcoin .
This is the official website of the currency http://btcgpu.org

setifien19 already posted a great link, which gives an excellent overview of what you need to understand and know for the upcoming forks.

One important thing is, that you need to have some BTC (ideally in a cold or desktop wallet) at the timepoint of the fork, which is scheduled for October 25, 2017. If you had a certain amount, you will be able to claim your BTG later on. The software to claim the altcoin will most likely be made available soon.

I hope, this has answered your questions. Good luck with the fork. Kind regards,
Halcyon D.

what if the btg developer steal my btc coins ?

If you want to get basic information about upcoming fork check cryptonews's analyse sector. Bitcoin gold will be given to bitcoin holders.If you wanna take both buying bitcoin is only thing you need.

to get btc gold-you  have to hold your btc on blockchain wallet with your private key before fork for sure

Bitcoin Gold is the result of the hard fork, it will happend on 25 octomber. You must hold bitcoin in to a wallet and you will recive the same amounth in bitcoin gold

Bitcoin gold is another Cryptocurrency that will launched on the 25th of October, this year. And it will be leveraging on the buoyancy and reputation of bitcoin. I got to know that you get an equivalent of btc gold when you have sane in your bitcoin wallet. Another important note is to check with your wallet holder if they will be supporting the Bitcoin fork.

BTC gold will have no support, no hashpower...
It's value will be extremely limited.

Bitcoin gold is the result of the hardfork of bitcoin this October 25th, so you are going to receive free bitcoin gold on your wallet, but only if you wallet accepts/supports bitcoingold.
Anyway, you will receive 1 btg per 1 btc that you have on the same time, just like it happened with bitcoin cash on the last fork of August 1nd, so probably you know how it was and how it will be.
try to hold your bitcoins on a safe wallet that you know that is going to give you bitcoingold.

Bitcoin gold is the result of hard fork that will occur on October 25th. To get the bitcoin gold you should just have bitcoin because it will be given to bitcoin holders later.

I am a little bit confused now, cause of I also thought it is going to be tomorrow on 25th October. As I know even some exchangers will give Betcoin Gold, for example YoBit which I use informed me about it few days ago.

It is a result of hard fork starting from 25 october ,its a new cryptocurrency which is technically updated version of btc with few enhancements,was got to some where  from some sources that 1 bitcoin gold will be equal to 1 btc and it will focus on original  decentralized nature of bitcoin

Those are my exact same thoughts I have about BTG.

The problem with Bitcoin Gold is that this is completely different than Bitcoin with the different codebase entirely.
Bitcoin Gold has no replay protection, no rules about consensus, no valid code for testing purposes also you can validate its code at all not to mention we don't know who the developers of BTG are.
And now wait for the best part - Bitcoin Gold codebase also contains a private premine of 8,000 blocks (100,000 BTG). I'm waiting for developers to dump it all ASAP :)

Bitcoin Gold is a cryptocurrency and a hard fork of bitcoin that will launch on October 25. To claim your bitcoin gold you should deposit or maintain a bitcoin balance in any exchanges so you can claim it for free.

it’s a not bitcoin it’s a just altcoin. Mineable with GPU and not like much diffrent than bitcoin cash.

I can tell you the second I'm able to get rid of mine I will. This is even more useless than BCH, but at least I sold those for an extra 20% of my bitcoin! That was awesome! People are freaking out thinking that's going to happen again. It's not. Any exchanges swapping it around don't even have the code so it's all IOUs at this point. Just get rid of it when you can, which isn't right now.

yes, same with you, I've also heard the word bitcoin gold (BTG), but I have not really understood what it is BTG. all I know about BTG is just a coin whose value is much higher than ordinary bitcoin, but it is a product and is created from bitcoin. how to claim it I think it will be the same as claiming bitcoin in general, but it will be difficult.

You need to have bitcoin to the address which you are holding the private key before the block 491,407 is mined. After that, you will have bitcoin gold. Use the private key of the address which you store your bitcoin before block 491,407 and import it to the bitcoin gold wallet to receive bitcoin gold.

Butcoin gold is a forked coin of bitcoin itself.
And to claim bitcoin gold right now the most trused exchange is yobit you have to sumbit your public key there.
but i personally donot trust yobit ,i preffer to wait for btgs  own wallet  to come and then i will claim my btg through their own wallet.
I hope you will wait too.Donot risk your bitcoins for gold..:P

Bitcoin gold will be created due to hard fork on october 25th.You will receive equal amount of BTG as the amount of BTC you have in your wallet.It is created just like bitcoin cash was created earlier.But this time,BTG lacks miners support totally.

So,it would have a very less impact on bitcoin's price.It would be just a clone of bitcoin,but with no support.People who show interest in BTG just want to enjoy free air drop and get some free coins to get some quick cash.

Other than that,it may be just pumped and dumped by big whales to get profits instead of pumping altcoins.

Just one more shit coin another time.

I still can't for the life of me figure out if bitcoin gold even has a wallet. Does anyone actually know of one that's working so I can dump this shitcoin ASAP??? It has and will have no real use and no real value.

It's an altcoin being created through a fork which should be happening sometime soon according to the people who are pushing it, they are intending to make a new Bitcoin which is "how it used to be", or decentralizing it further or whatever the hell. It's not like it's anything new and it likely won't be going anywhere either.

In order to claim the altcoin all you need to have is a private key which has some Bitcoin within it and then, once the fork happens and there is a client which supports it, you can import your private key into the wallet and you'll now have some BTCG or whatever the acronym is. That's your quick guide to claiming BTCG, assuming that I have all of the steps right.
