Bittrex is now supporting the fork and will credit equivalent amount of BTG to our wallets. Finally a good news for us.

I guess its time to move the BTC to Bittrex and wait for the fork to finish. Many people will hold their Bitcoins in Bittrex wallets as they are safer than other exchanges. They provided the BCH very quickly during Bitcoin Cash hard fork and similarly they will be giving Bitcoin Gold now.
So how many of you are moving your coins to Bittrex ?

Well,that seems to be very surprising.Previously,bittrex had answered to a similar question that they would not answer such questions and if any one wants a coin to be listed in bittrex,then they should encourage the dev to a new coin submission in bittrex.

Definitely,this is a great development and a good news for people who had been longing for free air drop.So now,most of them would deposit their bitcoins in bittrex.

But remember that almost thousands of accounts have been recently banned from withdrawing bitcoins in bittrex exchange.Even they are banned to open support tickets.So,be cautious.

Don't get caught in the desire of earning some free BTG coins.

I am sure bittrex will add this new clone for trading sake.
Bittrex is centralized exchange and they are looking for ways to boost volume.
They make a living from volume.
I am not surpised they support Bitcoin Gold.
Probably, they are going to support any next clone, as well.  LoL  ;D

There's no need to move BTC to Bittrex. This isn't going to be like the Bitcoin Cash launch. There will be a snapshot of the BTC blockchain and the launch will be a few days later. It's not worth risking all your coins on this exchange, especially within days/weeks of the account locking fiasco. Lots of people are still locked out of their accounts (due to unknown KYC/residence/etc issues) and have been for many days now, with no explanation from the exchange.

You can secure your BTC on your desktop wallet. Once the snapshot has occurred, move those coins to another safe address. The empty address(es) will hold BTG and you can import those keys into a BTG wallet once they launch. Safety first! Don't let greed to make a couple bitcents per coin make you sloppy about security!

That's good news, not all exchanges are supporting this. Thanks for sharing the info.

I thought only yobit that will support BTG since I'm less trust on that exchanger.
Well it's time for me to move some of my bits into bittrex since I've trade with bittrex over 3 years and I'm never experience any problem

I think they will make a snapshot of our Bitcoin wallet to get the Bitcoin Gold airdrop on the 24th but they wont open the market for trading it until Bitcoin Gold meets their criteria. You guys should read this statement from Bittrex:

Bittrex has a lot of good coins and also shitcoins , it was good once but due to weak support ship lots it's market value and it's not on the top any more, i liked it but before it wants me to increase my verification!i don't trust it any more!

I have no plans on moving my bitcoins on bittrex as its been acting weird in the past few days not to mention it is still until now e.g. unexplained disabled accounts. There's a high chance of my account getting disabled if i put my btc's there furthermore they'd decreased their withdrawal limit and they have a high withdrawal fee, I think i'll be getting losses rather than profits. Many people are expecting the same exact thing that happened on bch but that time and today are different. Different coins, different supporters. Still security over profits imo

Yes, this is true.
But Bittrex have problem with many account, they blocked and request enhanced verification.
Why? Crypto currency must be anonymous!

That's some good news as not all exchanges are supporting this. Thanks for the info.

Well they still have other problem on withdrawal thing. So no, i'm not moving my bitcoins to bittrex. I prefer to hold my bitcoins on blockchain wallet because blockchain also supporting the fork right now. But it's a good news though for bittrex user.

What about blockchain(cold wallet with my own private key)?

No thanks! Bitcoin Gold may at best be worth a few percent of Bitcoin. Trusting an exchange with your Bitcoins is always a risk, trusting them for something this small isn't worth it (to me). I own my own private keys, after the Gold fork I'll separate all my Bitcoins, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold (in this order!) into separate addresses. From there, I'll see what to sell and what to keep.
The Bitcoin Cash fork taught me once again I can't time when to sell, and right after the fork (during huge dumps) isn't the best moment to sell.

Bittrex (https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002320451)
I don't understand why they need to close their wallet to take a snapshot. The snapshot on the blockchain will happen at that exact block, Bittrex needs to ensure they take a snapshot of all account balances at that exact same time. If they don't close Bitcoin trading, they can't use 24 hours to take that snapshot, they'll need to do it the second the fork happens.

If you want to be anonymous, don't use a centralized exchange.

It will be very similar to the Bitcoin Cash fork: [GUIDE] How to claim Bitcoin Cash (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2054046.0)

That's nice to hear but I don't think it is worth the risk to put all your coin in just because of it,
It's better to be safe than sorry so better think wisely before moving your money.

Of course Bittrex will be adding Bitcoin Gold, all the fees involved are nice for them, it is of course good for most people who do not want to mess with claiming the coin after via wallets and even the dodgy coin exchange websites, send your privkey, yeah right... be careful out there.

finally a good news from this exchange. I used a lot because they support a lot of good altcoins that are not listed in other exchange with decent volume.
probably a lot of altcoins after this news could drop down... but move my btc to this exchange is an useless move, because if I have my coins already stored in my wallet, why I need to move now in an exchange?!

I won't use them anymore.. last week i too got the verifcation message.
Don't know or care if i am locked out or what i just closed the window and won't go back.
So this news does not concern me  :D

I did not get involved in this stuff to start sending my picture ID around.
It's bad enough i got pounded into submission with crypto related spam from the email i used at Cryptsy.
Crypto email spam is getting to be a bloody epidemic  >:(

I have no intention to move my bitcoins to bittrex. I don't like their lengthy verification process, lacking customer support and many unusual frustrating undergoes.
Blockchain.info supported bitcoin cash before, hopefully it would also support bitcoin gold and make us able to swap BCG after fork finishes.

I really agree with you, because yobit in my opinion is a bad market, maybe most of the coins in yobit trading is bad in my eyes. maybe you are not wrong choose to trade in Bittrex because Bittrex is a very good market in trading at the moment.

As has been pointed previously, recent security issues might cause some problems, especially with large btc holders. Safest method remains the desktop wallet/other own wallets. Once the new wallet will be released, it will be easy to transfer.
All the things above unless you want to start trading or cash out immediately.

When you move your btc to bitrexx because of the fraction you want to get out of the BCG, did you consider the part where you need to move your coins out. Maybe you have not read about their recent policy that no matter the amount involved, if you don't do your KYC, you are not withdrawing a satoshi of the amount you have there.

For me, I think I would gladly pass on their offer after all, they are not the only exchange site providing support for BCG their are several other listed on the BCG website which is a pool to pick from rather than be stuck with verification and KYC brouhaha of bittrex.

Nice to know and this should be a similar procedure like bitcoin cash - these guys have got experience now.

Bittrex seems to always be one of the first to announce the crediting of tokens that are generated from existing holdings of either bitcoins or else. Though it seems like bitcoin gold devs have not contacted bittrex yet, so they're not going to list a market for bitcoin gold(at least yet).

That means to me that i'd rather keep my bitcoins in a separate wallet that i hold myself, instead of on bittrex. Different story if they had trading.

i don't have to move my bitcoin to bittrex since i am have many coins in there so i will be waiting for the free btg in my wallet  ;D i think there will be many people from now will move their btc to bittrex because they want free coins too like us. and this will make bittrex busy to handle the transaction. but i guess we still have more time to trying to move our bitcoin to bittrex and i am sure that people will do it right now without waiting another time and don't forget, yobit is supporting btg too so we have two option exchanges to move our bitcoin for free coins.

I think that's what they want people to do, but it's a dodgy exchange (they've been disabling accounts, jacking up withdrawal fees and so on).

Transfer coins there at your own risk. Work out whether what you get with bitcoingold is really worth the risk of maybe losing everything.

Yes it might be a trouble for those who have not verified their accounts yet but I am glad that I have verified my account with enhanced security.
So withdrawing the amount won't be a problem for me. Those who have account verification problems can hold their coins in a wallet with private key they own. I wouldn't recommend to put the coins in Yobit as they have a lot of scam coins and less secure than Bittrex.

Shouldn't BTCG have a wallet on launch ?
Why the need for an exchange ? Dumping ?

That's good to know then if Bittrex is supporting Bitcoin Gold and I would not have the need to transfer my coins to another exchange if that's the case. But everyone must be careful with transferring your bitcoins to Bittrex, these are the times hackers are keeping an eye on those accounts with huge amount of Bitcoins to transfer.

For the people who dislike Bittrex, what exchanges are you using? Im primarily using Bittrex myself and haven't had any issues but its always good to have a backup.

Most likely will be the same as BitcoinCash, it was in high price after the fork and started to dump day by day. Just like another free coins, most people will sell it just after they received the coins.

anyone getting BTG hard fork in bittrex???
I didn't get nothing

me too i'm not seeing BTC/BTG pair nor BTG wallet
how to get rid of the forked BTG then?
I'd like to sell the BTG before its value goes to 0, as expected!

The only market for BTG/BTC is in yobit bro

So if I got it right, I have to
- create a new account @ YoBit
- withdraw BTG from Bittrex to YoBit
- sell on the BTC/BTG pair
- withdraw BTC from YoBit ?
thanks

I don't see any BTG in bittrex dude

You wont see until November I think.

Does anyone know the date that BTG will be credited to bittrex?

@dustboy
You missed my point.

Guys digital currencies are not about "dumping" for profits.  :D

They are "currencies" ..maybe go use them ?
The fact none of you made a comment about a wallet being available on launch gives me permission to call you scammy ass little greedy profiteer investard leeches.

Get this idiots..
Back in the old days if a coin did not have a wallet on launch.. and it was not cross-platform.. and open-source.

IT WAS CONSIDERED A SCAM.

You morons couldn't care less.
All you ask is where can i dump them for Bitcoin profits.

"Crypto" is dead guys.. it died LOOOOOOOOONG ago.

When will be the Bittrex give the Bitcoin gold?  ??? ??? ??? ???

Since already most of the wallets gave the bitcoin gold coins to their clients, bittrex failed to burrow the coin amount to our wallets.  >:( >:( >:(

Yeah, they made it clear in the statement that they wouldn't be introducing BTG trading.  If you thought so it's your mistake.  What I'm not clear on is when we'll be credited.  It makes me nervous leaving anything on Yobit but so far they've caused me no issue, and what was essentially a frantic seesawing futures market for a few hours made me a killing.  Meanwhile, there's no hint of getting a BTG wallet on Bittrex.

I'm not really having a go at Bittrex.  Reading it back, their statement doesn't actually say a specific date.  Guess I just figured it wouldn't be too long after the snapshot.  My mistake.  The price is so low now it's not that important anyway.

It's November and Bittrex hasn't credit us our BTG yet.

Meanwhile, the price of BTG continues to slide. Felt like it was a bad decision to have transferred BTC to Bittrex for BTG.  :(

How they will credit BTG users if a fully supported wallet is not yet available. be patient, I am sure they will do all reasonable efforts.

Probably Bittrex will credit accounts after BTG wallet release, you need to have some patience.

I'm trying to be as patient, but looking at the BTG spiraling down each day gets me a little uneasy. Well, I guess I will just have to wait.

Gimme my gold, Bittrex!  :D

how long i wonder

It's just going to take some time, there is not much we can do but wait for the wallet release on Bittrex , then we will get the coins for sure. They have already declared it. So just have to have some patience.

Feels like a kind of rip-off , no communication at all.   >:(
Another (update) statement from Bittrex about Bitcoin Gold would be appropriate. imho

Yes, I guess they're sorting out all the formalities over Bittrex wallet.

i don't think they will credit :/

BTG chain supposedly went live 2 hours ago. Can anyone confirm it did? Anyone hear anything from Bittrex or have your BTG distributed?

looks like they have not distributed btg. i see in my bitrex account, btg wallet is not yet available. It's been a long wait so hopefully there is good news about distribution btg from them.

BTG wallet is now available, still no BTG in my Bittrex account

https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

My BTG showed up Monday morning, 20 November, US EST.  At first they were transferrable but there was no Bittrex market; now there seems to be a Bittrex market, with good prices.

BTG come in bittrex wallef account, but i think it doesn't like what happen to Yobit last time for BTG fork, in the yobit i get 1:1 for bitcoin in my wallet, but now bittrex, i hold 0.04 and only get 0.008 BTG

Don't know why, but it was really surprising me
