Title: Does our BTC need to be off the exchanges before Gold fork? Post by: beatle78 on October 17, 2017, 07:32:12 PM If I have BTC on exchanges such as Kraken and Bittrex on 10/25, will I still receive bitcoin gold on 11/1?

That depends on the policy of the exchange, Bittrex for example credited their users with BitcoinCash shortly after the fork.I am not sure what their stance on the current fork is, so you should figure that out. It is always better to get a desktop wallet, to make absolutely sure you get the coins from the fork.. Title: Re: Does our BTC need to be off the exchanges before Gold fork?

I just installed imtoken, but that seems to be ETH based coins only. Title: Re: Does our BTC need to be off the exchanges before Gold fork?

I use Electrum on my desktop, that should work for the upcoming bitcoingold fork aswell ( I am expecting that ). See https://electrum.org/bcc.txt about the previous hardfork ( BitcoinCash) Title: Re: Does our BTC need to be off the exchanges before Gold fork?
