Safe methods for Bitcoin Gold (BTG) claiming?

[mog]

Since Bitcoin Gold has finally launched it would be nice to collaborate on safe methods for claiming our BTG. Similiar to how people put out guides for when BCH launched and no one was sure they could trust the client. However I see that the current wallet download requires a full node download (150GB). Has anyone tried to claim their BTG using this method yet?

Seems it would require sending on the BTC to a new wallet, them importing the old wallets private keys into the BTG client to claim BTG.

Not yet, and why are you not just trying to claim your bitcoin gold through the exchange site? But just wanna know about is the network of the bitcoin gold was alive or it still become the test net.
But majority of the wallet doesn't support it. as long as you are keeping your private key and you will be able to claim it. Some of the multi currency wallet already accepted the bitcoin gold claim.

I (and many others) don't keep bitcoin or our private keys on any exchange. Just basic common sense really.
