BTC Gold Fork Wallet

[BelieveInBitcoin]

For now this is the answer of Ledger about Bitcoin Gold :
"
Hello,
You will be publicly informed on our website and social media accounts in time if there is anything you need to do in order to get and manage your Bitcoin Gold."

Let see and wait...

I have a Ledger - that's useful to know, thanks.

I have most of my BTC in Bitpay wallet backed up by 12 word phrase, will this be good to split my Bitcoin later?

Keeping it in your wallet you are already using is profitable rather than bugging your head about trying to get a site to transfer to. It might happen that issues thats coming up with your bitcoin. Hold it in your wallet.

Have it on an exchange. As soon as they enable deposits and withdraws (ie you can move your coins from your controlled wallet to an exchange) it will have already dumped.

This is the best answer . Or you dump immediately or you keep it for a long time.

I am also interested in this answer.

I have my BTC at Exodus and Kraken. What should we do?

Exodus will work just fine.  You can export your Bitcoin private keys from Exodus (there is a secret developer's menu, Alt Shift D) , then import them into a BitCoin Gold Wallet.  It is advisable, though, to move your original bitcoins away from that wallet before you the same private key to claim your Bitcoin Gold, just in case it's a scam wallet ...

If Kraken is not supporting the BitCoin Gold fork, then you need to move them off of that exchange before the fork.  

Is there a consolidated list of exchanges that will support Bitcoin Gold? I'm just curious to know if the majority will or if there are a select few that will not.

[minerlai]

has anyone found an exchange that will support BTG?

[romeo111]

I would suggest you get a Jaxx it's gives a list of backup. i think it's enough for export your private keys.
some other wallet you control the private keys. such as Electrum, Jaxx, Exodus, Ledger Nano S hardware wallet, etc

i prefer Bittrex for this

i prefer Bittrex for this

I also think bittrex would be better choice.
The last time on BTC cash  fork, I remember bittrex allowed to trade BCH in just a couple of days after the fork.

After searching around and finding about 100 different opinions on where to store BTC for the October 25th fork, so as to receive the BTC Gold... I have still yet to find a solid answer.

I even messaged blockchain.info and they said they will NOT be honoring the BTC Gold. For the BTC Cash fork I just left my BTC in Poloniex and received the BTC Cash tokens as I should, but now I am seeing discussion that Poloniex, Bittrex and none of the exchanges are going to be honoring the BTC Gold fork.

So. What software wallet to store BTC in to guarantee we receive the full amount of BTC Gold after the fork?

Bitcoin Gold is not as anticipated as Bitcoin Cash. That is probably the reason why there are so few wallets, local and international, that committed to distribute equal amount of Bitcoin Gold to the amount of Bitcoin stored in the same wallet. Poloniex, Bittrex, HitBTC, Cryptopia, and other major ones have yet to announce their support of Bitcoin Gold. Kraken I heard is going to give Bitcoin Gold.

I'm also interested in knowing where to store my btc. I been searching the web for a while to find wallet that supports btg but i still can't find any.

This is the best answer . Or you dump immediately or you keep it for a long time.

Most exchanges will not support it, so i doubt that this is the best answer. You should do some resarch before posting things that mislead other users.

I had my Bitcoin on Bittrex during the Bitcoin Cash fork and received the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash when it forked.
You could trade the Bitcoin Cash immediately you received it (no two day wait), I did this even though it said the wallet was locked.
The trick is to just go directly to the trading page by typing in its URL;
 e.g. https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BCC
I'm sure you could do this with Bitcoin Gold, if Bittrex supports it.

Ledger said that they are working at it and will give news really soon.

I posted this previously regarding how to get BTG after fork yesterday, but now I see a lot of people ask about it here so Ill repeat again:

After reading the information on BicoinGolds webpage I find that you can get bitcoingold on a 1:1 ratio on several exchanges.


The Bitcoin Gold home page will display the names and logos of exchanges that have promised to credit their users with BTG at the 1:1 ratio. If your exchange is not shown, please consider transferring your BTC to a supporting exchange or withdraw to a personal wallet where you control the private keys.

Source: https://btcgpu.org/faq/

You can see the exchanges that are supporting bitcoingold if you scroll down on the homepage

https://btcgpu.org/#home

One of the exchanges is HitBTC, an exchange that does not require verification for non-fiat traders. So in theory it should be as easy as transferring your BTC to HitBTC before the fork and then you should, still in theory, get your corresponding bitcoingold tokens ready to hold, trade or transfer away on HitBTC.

The official HitBTC stance on Bitcoingold and SegWit2x is published on their blog

At the moment the first block on Bitcoin Gold is found, you will receive the exact amount of BTG tokens as you hold Bitcoin on your HitBTC account. We guarantee that Bitcoin deposits, withdrawals and trading process won’t be halted or interrupted during the hard fork. Our developers are doing their best to proceed with all technical challenges without any inconveniences. We understand how important it is to keep exchange operations running 24/7, especially during the periods of such major modifications.

BTG trading markets on HitBTC are going to be open on October 25th.

There is a possibility that BTG transactions will be available only a week after the fork. As soon as it happens, we will make BTG deposits and withdrawals available for our users.

actually it was a day later and I was able to sell the cash at around $1200 USD in BTC cash per coin, sweet

[richjohn]

What I have experienced after BCH fork is that exchanges are better when it comes to get such coins in less time. I had part of my Bitcoin on Yobit and the other part in a wallet. I received BCH in just one day on Yobit and it took me about 10 days to get on wallet. I sold BCH from Yobit at insanely huge price but in 10 days the price went down and sold at less of wallet.

Yobit has already announced that they'll be supporting BTG too. So, I advise keep a part if not all on Yobit if you are skeptical and other part in a wallet and hold private keys. After fork through those private keys you can easily avail your BTG. But that might take time whereas Yobit one can be retrieved instantly as they automatically will come in your balance.

There are several wallets projecting storage of bitcoin gold, however i am listing some of them which are known secure enough in the market.
1. Xapo: a hong kong based multi signature bitcoin wallet. Let's you eject forked currencies uch easily.
2. Btc.com:  One of the oldest wallest with easy user interface, takes less time to update new currency.

Personally, I didn't trust bittrex as a storage for my coins as we all know this is an exchange and not a wallet. So as the hard fork is approaching I choose to store my coins in coinomi wallet which is supports bitcoin gold and here I hold private keys and with this I feel safe.
