Ledger Nano S has had it for a few days now, I've already split and transferred the BTG. I think Ledger people were a little faster this time... However, I've read that the older Ledger Nano (not S) still does not support it and they're not even sure if it will (too old. Too bad for the early adopters, but you gotta advance with the times. You can'r really expect old hardware to support new technologies).

I am still at Ledger HW.1 and I am happy what it does at core , storing my real bitcoins for longer term and I don't really care about another altcoin which is just what BTG is. Anyway that's good that Ledger and Trezor offered a tool for it because there are people who like to try new coins or to have them for free. Personally I only care about bitcoin.

I used coinomi to claim my BTG and I barely even trust that. BTG’s coming down in price hard almost to the point where it’s not worth claiming anyways, but never trust an online wallet with no reputation like that. Never even use an online wallet unless it’s for a small hot wallet.

I went through the process last night with my Trezor to claim my Bitcoin Gold and it was very easy.  I had to update the firmware first which only took a few minutes.  Once that was done it was very quick to claim the BTG which I then shot over to Bittrex to keep on the exchange for now till I decide when to sell it.  Seems like a waste but I do not plan on holding BTG any longer than I have to at this point.

Thanks for the info, and I just realized that BTG is listed at bittrex now.
