For me Coinomi wallet is my best shot.

As i know, coinomi is the fastest wallet that gave bitcoin cash airdrop before this (after segwit). Hope coinomi do the same for next split

should be good with coinomi:

Newbie here and I would like to know where is the best place to store our btc during the upcoming hardfork where we can receive bitcoin gold as well.

How will be receive some tokens during the split?

The best wallet to receive your future Bitcoin gold is Bitcoin core.
With Bitcoin core you have your Bitcoin in the real Bitcoin blockchain and you have the pricate keys for these adddress.

But, be carrefull, we don't know when will be the blockchain snapshot for the hard fork : Bitcoin gold is a partially premine coin and the snapshot was perhaps yesterday or before.

Sorry, what does it mean for the snapshot to have already occurred, could you please elaborate? thx.

Snapshot is taken of bitcoin blockchain which records the coin balances of all bitcoin accounts at the time it was taken.
This means that if you have X amounts of BTC at the time of snapshot, you would get the same X amounts in the forked coin.
I don't know the date when the Bitcoin Gold snapshot would be taken.

25th October, block 491407

You need to control the private key for your bitcoin address. That is the bottom line basically, so any wallet which allows that can be ok. The exchanges are not giving you this control and you rely on that company maybe even just one person for integrity of your holdings. In some cases the better sites, exchanges and various holders of BTC will stop to sort out some kind of allocation to alternate chains but its not a normal situation.

The simple advice I would state to use mycelium on a mobile phone, when you do that it allows you to backup the private key and then use that anywhere. So you arent even then relying on mycellium for your btc address, its just a tool that has you with the private key. Other situations you are using a login and someone else has the private key for your holdings.

Its the first link on google, mycelium

He's referring to the point in time when the hard fork will occur, at that time the Bitcoin Gold folks (developers) will take a "snapshot" of the Bitcoin blockchain and then assign Bitcoin Gold to each private key address in an amount that equals the amount of Bitcoin held by that address.

This is what creates the allocation for the airdrop of Bitcoin Gold.

Ok, but it does it also mean that the bitcoin needs to be in a personal wallet on the snapshot date? If the bitcoin is in an exchange wallet on the snapshot date, does it mean that the BTG is allocated to the exchange? Thx.

As long as the wallet give you control over the private keys (Exodus, Electrum etc.) then you should be fine.

So, does this mean that if you keep your BTC on exchange like Poloniex, you will NOT get Bitcoin Gold?

Wondering the same thing, I don't see why those exchanges would not give bitcoin gold with this hard fork, since they gave bitcoin cash for the btc I held during the last hard fork.

I am a professional Web Designer and Developer

You can use those wallets which can give you the Private key. Becuase Private key is very secure for any wallet. And you can use the desktop wallet for the harfork. Otherwise, you can use Bittrex for the hardfork. At the last harfork I hidden my Bitcoin on Bittrex and I got the BCC token.

I searched the internets, it appears they haven't decided if Trezor will be supporting Bitcoin Gold.

The problem with Bitcoin Gold is that no wallets have agreed to support it. So while Bitcoin Gold may be allocated to every private key in existence, the wallets and exchanges need to provide a way for us to claim those coins.

TL:DR, you gotta wait and see.

•What does hardfork do? Sorry I dont get it, will it affect our tokens?

I am just a noob here I am really for the question and that you for the understanding I am really just a noob. I am in the process of learning everything here step by step.

It seems like you don't have any tokens to worry about. Be careful; people might start confusing you for a sig spammer.

more web sites are availble for storing crypto currency. first you have to search in google and choose one of the best option for savings. next you have to keep that wallet. now a days more wallets are using transferring money so search in browser and choose one best wallet keep in that bit coins.

As long as you have full control over your private keys then you are 100% secured and sure that the place where you keep your savings is safe.
