Do we know for sure exchanges giving BTCGold ?

[paramind22]

Is there a definite agreement from the BTCGold team that they are giving away BTCGold for BTC?

Are there statements from Coinbase and the major exchanges?

You can get some bitcoin on the Binance exchange, they will handle the bitcoin gold process on your behalf and allocate the BTG to your account.

Thanks.  I already trade on about 8 other exchanges, just haven't seen any announcements on any of them.

When BTG will come on poloniex exchange?
Is it possible to get same amount of BTG on poloniex if I store BTC on 25th Oct?

[Youghoor]

Probably you will be able to trade your bitcoin gold on binance once that it gets released, and regarding to other user's question, poloniex will add it to their exchange list only if this fork is succesfull.
Just like it happened with bitcoin cash, it was only added to polo three weeks after that bitcoincash was given to everybody.
So yes, it will be added to almost all the exchanges, like bch did.

you can't expect anyone to take it seriously when nothing is yet clear. they should at least release a wallet/client for it before exchanges even consider adding it and releasing statements.

Typically exchanges will not give out a currency from a fork in Bitcoin, if you want to exploit the opportunity then you have to go out yourself and take your coins, get the private key and then use the private key on the BTCGold or whatever it is network. If you do that then you can nab whatever kind of forked currency you want. But that's the only real way of getting any sort of value from the fork if you have Bitcoin currently in an exchange. If it stays in there and you don't have a private key then it means nothing.

[Slipknot79]

I have seen nothing on the exchanges. I am really not so sure about BTG. If the exchanges do add them, which is 75% of the stuggle with a new coin in getting. I fear we are going to see more and more forks, just to garantee a place on getting on the good exchanges.

Something will change...

On Bitcoin Cash fork (last August) exchanges announced they would give Bitcoin Cash to BTC owners only few days before actual fork happened. So I guess we need to wait at least 1 other week before knowing it. Anyway the best choice in my opinion is always to keep your money on your own wallet and claim Bitcoin Gold (if necessary and if the price is high enough). It couldn't be worth...

Not to sound pessimistic, if all these issues still remain unresolved as at this time when the intended fork is just about 10 days away, I think there is need for serious upgrading by the entire team behind this upgrade. In the case of BCH, there were already enough of this on ground as at the time. What is being discussed had been changed from what will happen to bitcoin in the case of the fork, rather discussion was centering on the issue of 'how do I claim my BCH successfully without compromising my BTC?'.

With all this and even without enough coverage and discussion, we can only hope that the same faith that happened to to Bitcoin Unlimited awaits BCG at this time but to avoid it, something more timely needs to be done.

I am not sure as I too have the same doubt regarding bitcoingold.I am waiting and transferred to my electrum.

I am really looking forward to know which exchanges and online wallets will be giving the free Bitcoin Gold. Perviously i remember only Bittrex gave the BCC and later on rest of the exchanges followed. But it is really benefit to get Bitcoin Gold at the start because at that time no one will dump and price will be very high.

[malikusama]

Till now i have not read or heard any of the official statements from the popular exchanges (e.g coinbase) about Bitcoin Gold. May be Binance Exchange will give away Bitcoin Gold as many of the users on this forum are saying it but i am not sure about it.
Here is a thread i have seen few days back may this can help you.

Two exchanges so far have committed to listing BTG in November: Hong Kong’s (Bitexchange), and a new CFD exchange, (Bitstar)
Share any new exchange that you know are planing to implement Bitcoin Gold on their platform. thanks

[ufaiz50]

usually they or the exchanges will notify the information to their users via email or they can make a notice on their site. just like bitcoin cash I get notice from the exchanges that they will provide bitcoin gold with a rate of 1: 1 from the balance we have.

10 days to go is crazy deadline ... I hope that Bitcoin "G" will be forged with Art ...

I even was thinking about ... in get a new hobby and craft some commemorative physical coin made with recovered gold from circuit boards  

My research ...LaunchPad: Coin Production in the Ancient Greek World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naA87x15MiU

but seriously as a priority list... replay attack and better understand of equihash should be on top of the list ...

G is for GOLD; GPU;  .... gnuk neuZeeGee hehe

All the exchanges which offered Bitcoin Cash during the August 1st fork will mostly likely give out Bitcoin Gold after the October 25th fork. Never understood why many users still prefer their money to be on exchanges while it is much safer holding your coins in a wallet with private key access as it is much more convenient instead of checking up with exchanges to disburse the Bitcoin Gold.

Well most of exchanges did that when the BCH fork happen, but I still think it's safer to just keep your coins on a wallet, where you own your private keys, and they you can claim them yourself. You will probably be slower to sell them like this, but this way you know you will get them for sure.

That will be nice step from bitcoin because now a days people are leaving gold to buy and prefer bitcoin because they know that bitcoin can bring in their life happiness while Gold is rising very slowly toward bitcoin. So people moved from Gold to bitcoin. Therefore now a days bitcoin is launching a new project on that it's bitcoinGold.

That ain't true. Some exchanges like Bittrex have handled the last Bitcoin fork pretty well and they gave given every user their Bitcoin Cash. I don't know why they haven't yet announced whether they will support the upcoming forks or not. Maybe they think it is a scam...

I too will like to know about the official news from the exchanges on what is their stance on this Bitcoin gold. Whether they are supporting bitcoin gold  and giving their customers a chance to get free Bitcoin Gold. If anyone has link to this official news it will be appreciated to share here with others so that we know whats the stance of exchanges on this new bitcoin.
