Bitcoin block number 491407 is reached : the Bitcoin blockchain snapshot is dome.
Next steps :
 - having tools to make the swap.
 - some exchanges to trade the coin.
 - some pools to mine and securise the coin.
But no stress, we have time.

Good luck Bitcoin gold.

lol BTG is not a scam.

Even I don't think that it is scam. But there are a lot of unanswered questions and there is not enough information about the developers. Even the code is not yet publicly available and this was the reason given by Coinbase to deny its users the coins from the free airdrop.

More & more saying the Bitcoin Gold snapshot has already happened? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOOcj9TkQ10

Interesting. One thing he suggest is that HitBTC is the place to hold your Bitcoin if you want at least some assurance of getting your Bitcoin Gold.
I think I may transfer all my Bitcoin out of Bittrex who are saying you may, or may not, get Bitcoin Gold.

bittrex accommodates bitoingold snapshots, but they never talk about the market, but I think if we look at the prospect of bCH until now, almost all markets will trade with bitcoingold, until now only three markets have announced it has received it, it is very ironic because of hardfork deadlines immediately appear.

Another tit-bit here about Bittrex and other exchanges and there stance on the impending Bitcoin Gold fork, does not make for reassuring reading.

In my opinion Bitcoin Gold is a scam created just to enrich the developers. But this scam scheme will give a free money to a lot of people ! That's why nobody cares if it's a scam or not. Let's wait and see how this  absurd circus will go on.

So far none of the exchanges have come in support of BTG which is totally opposite the BCH fork scenario where some of the major websites have supported BCH lot earlier than the fork date.

I still dont want this shitcoin at cost of my BTC. Always remember if its not transparent enough better don't take the risk!
Some exchanges have but the shitty ones and I am not surprised. Honestly, this coin is going to end up even more shitty that BCC the way it is. Looking at their website, there is just only one single wallet available for it. It is still possible though that after the fork, we will see some wallets or exchange for it but until then, fingers are crossed.

It's not just crappy exchanges like Yobit now. Bittrex has now announced support for the fork, and they are one of the largest altcoin exchanges on the market. I think they are looking for some hype to pump volumes after the account locking scare recently.

There is/was definitely more support for Bitcoin Cash. This time, Bitcoin miners (and the Unlimited supporters who wanted miners to decide consensus rules) don't have any reason to back the fork. But frankly, this fork hype just makes the Segwit2x fork look more and more silly. I'm beginning to think that's the point here! Maybe the point of Bitcoin Gold all along was to cause fatigue around all these Bitcoin forks.
All newbie fake accounts promoting BTG, please get a life! Even Bittrex warns that BTG has written SCAM all over it! Read the official statement:

If you have a Bitcoin (BTC) balance on Bittrex during the BTG snapshot block 491,407 occurring approximately on October 24, 3am PT (10am UTC), you will be additionally credited the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) on a 1:1 basis. i.e. 1 BTC on Bittrex held during the on-exchange snapshot will get you 1 BTG.  BTC held on orders will also be credited.  Only the BTC held on your account is eligible for BTG.  Full details below.

 

Bitcoin Gold [BTG] is a proposed digital asset.

At this time, the information and codebase presented by the Bitcoin Gold team is not in a functional state and Bittrex will not commit to opening a Bitcoin Gold trading market.

Bitcoin Gold intends to perform a wallet balance snapshot at Bitcoin block 491,407 but the actual Bitcoin Gold network will launch publicly at a later undetermined date and time (the only guidance is the statement "after the launch on Nov 1").

Bitcoin Gold does not currently have:

Fully formed consensus code
Implemented replay protection
Adequate code for testing and auditing
Publicly known code developers
Bitcoin Gold codebase also contains a private premine of 8,000 blocks (100,000 BTG). Please be aware that if a market does open there is a possibility of the developers selling their premined BTG on the open market.

When considering adding tokens to Bittrex exchange we look at the risks involved. Bitcoin Gold does not satisfy our criteria for safety for our users. Taking a snapshot of the Bittrex exchange Bitcoin wallet is also a large disruptive undertaking that requires over 24 hours of preparation (Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals are also suspended during this time) and should not be taken lightly.

Bittrex will close deposits and withdrawals of Bitcoin (including 2nd layer protocol XCP/OMNI and associated assets) 24 hours prior to the BTG snapshot block 491,407 occurring approximately on October 24, 3am PT (10am UTC). The wallet will remain closed until the on-exchange snapshot is complete. Trading will remain active during this time.

Bittrex will make all reasonable attempts to credit our users BTG but until we have a fully supported wallet, we can neither guarantee tokens or consider creating a market. We will continue to monitor the state of the codebase and network. We'd also like to encourage the BTG development team to reach out to us.

It looks like there is a scam within a scam - as in other opportunistic scammers are trying to set up a scam based on claiming Bitcoin Gold.

Check out this site claimbitcoin.gold - linked to from the "Bitcoin Gold" (@btcgpu) twitter account, but clearly a scam. It asks you to enter your private key or seed to "verify ownership" of the address you are claiming for lol.

I don't want to lend any credence to the Bitcoin Gold project because I don't think it's innovative and I think it's just a cash grab. But you're referring to a straight-up scam not associated with the actual project. It's been known for some time that @btcgpu is an imposter. And it should be obvious to anyone who has been in the Bitcoin space for a while that you should never enter your private keys this way. The official mediums are the @bitcoingold Twitter account and btcgpu.org.

That's definitely one of the downsides of all this fork drama. All the greed and hype creates big opportunities for people to scam newbies.

Where did you see that bittrex has announced the support of Bitcoin Gold ? Any link ?

This statement by bittrex looks more like a warning against Bitcoin Gold Scam !

Good observation, but this is also my observation.
After Bitcoin's first hard fork (Bitcoin Cash)  - everyone is very excited about the features that can offer more and better alternative from Bitcoin's limitations but Bitcoin Cash has performed well though major experts says it's a like jacking pump Bitcoin to push upward but it has it's value - higher than Altcoins.
Bitcoin Gold will unlikely doing the same thing so the majority isn't excited enough since we're all assuming that this will become the next jack to pump more Bitcoin's value.

I think this website is a phishing site and If this was true I will never tried to even get a bitcoin gold ,hope that many people will become more aware of this, never share your private key just to get some free altcoins you will just end up losing your bitcoins.
