How do I get free Bitcoin gold?

[coingrow]

Move your bitcoin to paper wallet and you should be able to get your bitcoin gold. But unconfirmed reports suggest that the snapshot might already have been taken place for the fork privately earlier.

In my knowledge you just need to save bitcoin and on 25th later you will get bitcoin gold as much as bitcooj amount you save. so far i know bittrex and hitbtc exchange which will give free btc gold

Is there a particular exchange I should have my bitcoin on in order to get bitcoin gold after the fork ? Currently my Bitcoin is on Coinbase but of course they haven't decided what they are going to do. Should I move my bitcoin to poloniex or another exchange?

Thanks!

Best to wait for any announcement from coinbase on what their plans are for this coming hardfork. I fortunately receievd by bcc last aug by keeping the btcs i have in my yobit wallet though as many would tell, that's quite risky and it would be your call.if you want to make the same risk

I just saw on coinbase website that they will not support bitcoin gold for now. Coinbase will keep all bitcoin gold for themselves if bitcoin is not moved from their exchange. I am moving my bitcoin to Electrum wallet not since bitcoin gold will provide instructions on how to receive bitcoin gold from Electrum at a later date.

It's a good idea to do that for every exchange not only coinbase. It's very likely that all exchanges won't be accepting bitcoin gold

Hasn't the fork already occurred? I thought they were premining it before officially releasing to the public.

Rumor has it that the fork happened Oct 1st, and the dev's are premining before the "official fork" on Oct 25th. And the official live date is in November sometime.

When exactly in November will the fork happen? I have my coins currently on exchanges where I trade, I may sell the tokens I hold to get Bitcoin gold but will it be worth like it will have a good value to keep? BCH is a free money for the holders, it it will have a real good value, then sending my btc to electrum would be worth.

According to this website below, the fork is Oct 25, and you will get your BTG Nov 1st. Disclaimer, I have not followed the process of BTG, but BTG has a lot less hype than BCH. That being said, free coins are free coins, but I wouldn't go completely out of the way to earn coins that might not have much of a value (based on the hype thus far).

In order to receive Bitcoin gold, you need to move you Bitcoin from Coinbase and store it in a private wallet and hold private keys. Then only you are eligible to receive Bitcoin Gold. Also, you should do this before the hardfork so that you can receive free Bitcoin Gold. If you transfer from coinbase to any other Exchange or move the bitcoin after 25^th October, then you should not expect any Bitcoin Gold or BTG with you. Some of the exchanges might offer the same functions as of private wallet of giving free BTG, but private wallet is the best option in my opinion.

Does anybody know if Bitcoin Gold has implemented a secure replay protection meanwhile so that Trezor and other hardware wallets could integrate the hard fork into their interfaces?

Some days ago this was not the case as far as I know.

[flippener]

For you able to get free bitcoin gold you just have to sign up at bitcoin talk forum and then answer the questions that they have and from that they will give you free bitcoin gold in exchange to the effort that you did for them. Bitcoin talk forum is quite challenging but it doesn't need so much time and effort. You can be productive in here.

This is not true and should be ignored.

[DanWagner]

I think some exchanges support it to , so if you move your btc to a exchange you should be fine.

[G.Seed]

Even freebitco.in allows to get BTG.

[MrZ28s]

Most exchanges and other crypto sites are supporting bitcoin forks. Currently big exchanges like Bittrex is yet to distribute Bitcoin Gold tokens despite not committing to enlist it into their trading markets.

[BayAreaCoins]

FreeBitcoins.com has a tool that allows you to see if you qualify for BTG.
