With the experience of Bitcoin Cash, most probably a lot of hackers try to steal Bitcoins and Bitcoin Gold. Any one should be very careful and don't trust to any wallet or instruction to get Bitcoin Gold.

How about this strategy.

Download/install/create login to web ....

NOTHING.

In times like these, I wish we could input private keys and have exchanges sweep them, so we don't need to deal with any software. Of course, you would want to be very careful to make sure that the private key held only BTG when you used it on an exchange. Otherwise they might sweep your other currencies and not credit them.

I'm hoping that a reputable wallet provider like Blockchain.info or BTC.com or Jaxx supports BTG, so I don't have to deal with its Core wallet. I don't know or trust the developers, so I don't really want their software on my machine. I just want to dump the coins...

Where did you get this info? is a good warning as there ~~might~~ be ARE hackers trying to scramble for every penny they can get a hold of

This is good advice.

Any downloaded "wallet" that gets access to your use of the blockchain is a obvious threat.

absolutely. i've been watching newbies flock to download malware when altcoins launch for years now. it never ceases to amaze me. at the very least, one should do a basic amount of research: the bitcoin gold team has an official website (btcgpu.org) and twitter. start there. cryptocurrency user or not, nobody should be downloading anything straight off the google search results.

there's already been a pretty widely circulated scam also: twitter.com/btcgpu is an imposter, and he's been sending people to a web site where users input their private keys to claim their BTG. it's clearly a total scam. this space really is a scammer's paradise.
