Our local bitcoin wallet not yet announce if they will support the incoming altcoin but i think that btg would be like bitcoin cash which only have good value at first but in a few days it will be going to be useless. The incoming fork is good to help bitcoin value continue to increase and make more stable than before value.

Im not sure if our local online wallet would be still be partnering with the bitcoin gold. Last august 1 hard fork, our wallet application supported the Bitcoin cash which allows all bitcoin hokder during the fork to receive the same amount they hold. It took some time for the holder to received the BTC from bitcoin cash value. Even though, there were no update with the app team, we still keep good amount of BTC expecting to receive something after fork.

Not so sure about BTG. I was really quite disturbed about the fact that they have already mined 100K coins for themselves. For me its just a money grab. I will have nothing to do with it.

2 days to go now, and there is still no proper information about who is going to support it or not! Is there confirmation that the blockchain.info will be supporting Bitcoin Gold?

Is this bitcoin like the one in real life the shine and shivering. What do you mean guys by bitcoin gold how does it differ from the regular bitcoin and if you're going to invest which would prefer and which has the best rate of return. Sorry for the inconvenience I wanna learned more in which I could get a higher rate of return of my money. Thank you so much.

You don't really have to give out your private keys to get Bitcoin Gold just hold them where you have access to your own private keys where your bitcoin is held instead of an exchange.

You still have to sweep/import your private keys into a Bitcoin Gold wallet. There are some potential privacy issues there. Assuming there is replay protection, one should move BTC first, then dump the empty private keys. Without replay protection it's a bit more complicated. But the privacy issue remains.

I don't like the situation with fork, fork, fork. And who will be so stupid to give out private keys to recieve BTC gold?

The Bitcoin Gold fork is better seen as a simple "airdrop" in my view. It's clearly an altcoin -- same as Bitcoin Cash -- and I have no issue with that. UASFs like BIP148 and hard forks like Segwit2x are much more dangerous because they could easily split the network and create multiple blockchains.

I'm okay with dumping some empty keys to get BTG if it's worth something. But I don't love the privacy implications.

Coinomi will support BTG, they also provide a tutorial on how you can claim you free BTG after the fork. Good luck!

I have not. I am curious to see what it will actually trade at. These forks are getting out of hand, seems like there is one every month now. The effect s on BTC price can be seen clearly

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that about Bittrex. I was going to start to move my BTCs to another exchange. Nice!

"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."

This bit is also on that article. Personally, I would use a wallet that only I know the private keys (paper or electrum) and then when BTG goes live, use it on the first wallet/exchange that fully supports it and sell if need be. This way, I'm in control of everything.
Bittrex were successful in crediting our BitcoinCash the last time so it gained the trust of the people expecting they will be credited with BitcoinGold. Personally I have deposits in bittrex but that was only less than 1 BTC because I don't expect 1:1 is with the same value.

Imagine that you will have your personal keys. And after fork you will import these keys into BTG "devs" coded wallet, never known and used before. This wallet will send these keys to BTG guys... and your bitcoins will say good-bye... They will have full access to your wallet.

Premine shows the objective of this event...


Is it? Bit shocking and alerting as well. As said, will try to keep either the wallet empty or move to other wallets. I read few posts here stating bitcoin gold will be sent the wallets where bitcoin is held. Is it so? When the bitcoin gold is going to pitch in?

That's why I don't trust any exchanges that will let you import your private keys, it's really unsafe. Just hold your bitcoin into electrum wallet, coinomi or blockchain wallet, or any other wallet that supports btg. Don't risk your coins just for free coins. Be better safe than sorry.
