from what information that their team released so far, things will be exactly the same with some minor differences. so you just have to hold the private keys of your bitcoins in order to be able to claim the new airdrops. if they add a replay protection things will be very easy. if not you will have to take additional steps to claim it.
in any case wait until they release better and more information, then it will be clear. so far their website has nothing on it except a date!

sure, there is nothing wrong with that. although it is best to always use the search first before jumping to creating a new topic.
and since it is an altcoin, the topics belong to the altcoin board.

How did people claim it last time? Thought private key was suppose to be, well, private.

Ah thanks, didn't know!

If a mod wants to move it that'd be great.

it is still "private" and should always remain private. but private means you are the only person having access to it not anyone else. like having an account on Coinbase as your bitcoin wallet, you won't be having any access to private keys that way.

the way people claimed BCH was either depositing their bitcoin on exchanges like bittrex prior to the fork so that bittrex and others give them the BCH tokens automatically (this is risky though).
or they waited for the fork to happen, then downloaded one of the BCH wallets, imported their private keys in that and claimed their tokens.

Do you know any btc wallet that is secure and easy to use and most of all low transaction fee?
I tried jaxx wallet but hell the transaction fee is very high (if I know i wouldn't use that shit).

i guess we are waiting for next news about bitcoin gold and i hope we can get 1:1 like bch aka bcc yesterday

have you try mycelium? because if i see in my mycelium, we can set the fee and i always use normal and the fee have many option and we can choose what is suit with us. you can download it at playstore but i don't know if there is any software for computer.

i am not sure hoe Jaxx works but transaction fees are not set based on what wallet program you use. they are set based on the bitcoin network and factors related to that such as how full the blocks are and how many other transactions are in the mempool paying what fee.
of course the wallet may give bad suggestions too.

i have used bitcoin core and electrum so far and both of them give good fee estimation which may not be perfect but it is better than others.

You do not need to do anything if you keep your coins in an exchange, they give it to you automatically. This is the easiest way.

not all exchanges. and some may not even credit your airdrop tokens for months. i believe Coinbase said they will give bitcoin cash to the users in 2018 but i never followed the news to see if their plan has changed or not but i don't think so.

besides everyone knows keeping coins on exchanges is very risky. they can get hacked or become scam and run away at any moment. in this case there is an additional risk of them messing up and not credit your tokens.

if after the segwit i have bitcoin gold also? like the last hardfork ihave free bitcoin cash in may wallet..?

[Kakmakr]

Best thing is to be prepared for everything. If this goes the same way as Bitcoin Cash, you will have to buy bitcoins before the implementation date and you will have to push those coins to cold storage of some kind, where only you have the Private key to those coins. < not an exchange or wallet provider, because some of them keep those free coins or they credit you for it, much later when the price is very low. >

Create those Paper wallets, buy bitcoins and move them to the paper wallets. ^smile^

Until now i haven't heard about another fork happening in bitcoin that will split gold but if you are sure you got this news from a trusted source,just be cool.
What actually you need to do is to buy and store bitcoins a much as you can, target the date of fork and keep holding your bitcoins.
When the fork happens successfully, the forked gold shall be splitting into the wallet you have stored your bitcoins.
Soon after when exchanges start accepting forked gold, you would need to transfer and exchange the amount of gold with your preferred currency.
