After searching around and finding about 100 different opinions on where to store BTC for the October 25th fork, so as to receive the BTC Gold... I have still yet to find a solid answer.

I even messaged blockchain.info and they said they will NOT be honoring the BTC Gold. For the BTC Cash fork I just left my BTC in Poloniex and received the BTC Cash tokens as I should, but now I am seeing discussion that Poloniex, Bittrex and none of the exchanges are going to be honoring the BTC Gold fork.

So. What software wallet to store BTC in to guarantee we receive the full amount of BTC Gold after the fork?

I would suggest to put it in Bittrex. They are usually the one who support bitcoin fork like bitcoin cash before.

Looks like the whale owners of Bitcoin Gold is not as rich as Roger Ver and Chinese miners. They need to sue the exchange sites to list down the BTG. If I were you I will just save my BTC in a wallet that supports private keys. Try Bitcoin Core. If BTG will become available in public, or theres a BTG. Then you can easily get your BTG by importing your BTC private keys to BTG wallet.

I agree, I suggest not to trust any exchange for storing your coins. I'm using coinomi and like the last hard fork that they supported bitcoin cash they once again supports bitcoin gold so I'm keeping my coins here to get an equivalent amount of btg. You also hold private keys here so it's indeed safe and secured.

I keep some of my coins with Exodus, some are in Bittrex (something like 0.0002) so far Bitcoin Gold is too shady for me to deal with. If I see it goes the right way, I'll just restore my keys.

I think ledger hardware wallet has shown it's support for BTG. So if you store BTC is ledger then no need to worry.
Many exchanges like Bittrex stated that they will give equal amount of BTG for BTC holders. But I doubt that they will open a market for it. So far yobit is the only one which I know opening a trading market for Bitcoin gold.

It's understandable why Yobit is well know as YoShit, stay well away from them, I'd rather be dealing with Poloniex - and that says how bad Yobit is

I believe that the polo will be the last exchange that gives you the more update about accepting the bitcoin gold or not. In the previous month about to be added the bitcoin cash in their platform and that needs a lot of research.

Hi, I was looking to find if Trezor will support Bitcoin Gold, as there are different sources claiming differing opinions, but I just finalized the operation with Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash with Electrum so I may be able to help you out on this a bit unrelated topic.

I assume in the explanation below your bitcoins are in Electrum, before the fork. It is extremely important you follow the sequence below and not start one step before completing the other.

1. Open a new wallet for Bitcoins. I used Trezor but it can be any wallet. Do this on a different computer.
2. Transfer your bitcoins from Electrum to the the new wallet. (Your Electrum wallet is now empty.)
3. Open a new wallet for Bitcoins cash. I used Trezor for that as well, but it can be any wallet. But NOT Electrum cash. Do this on another computer (it may be the same as you installed your new wallet on in step 1).
4. Install Electrum Cash on your old computer. (It is now called Electron Cash.) Use the same seed (words) as for your Electrum wallet. If you install it on your previous computer (where you held the Bitcoins before the fork) it will find the seed words itself and you only need your password, in case you did not complete 100% erase Electrum manually. It shows something like unconfirmed or 0 something like that. Don't panic, your bitcoins cash is still there.
5. Now transfer the Bitcoins Cash from the Electrum Cash wallet to the new wallet. The Bitcoin Cash will show up in your new wallet.

Now you have both BTC as Bitcoin Cash

I just waited until poloniex added Btc Cash to my account...
I bet there is smth important in you instruction - could you please clarify why do you need a new wallet for bitcoins and so many steps and when the first step starts (after BTC Cash release??)

Any official announcement from big exchanges that will handle the fork and award the bitcoin gold coins to holders ?

Well I don't know of you'ld call HitBTC a big exchange but they will support not only the Bitcoin Gold fork but also SegWitx2.
I find it a bit 'clunky' to use, compared to Bittrex, but will probably put my Bitcoin there for the up and coming fork.

There's a lot of wallet that could be used to store your bitcoin to receive bitcoin gold. The developers of bitcoin gold just require you to store your bitcoins to a wallet where you have an access to your private key. You will be needing your private key after the fork to receive your bitcoin gold depending on how much bitcoin were you able to keep.

I suggest you to keep your coins in electrum wallet as you can control your private keys.After fork you can easily split your coins.

i prefer Bittrex for this

I also think bittrex would be better choice.
The last time on BTC cash fork, I remember bittrex allowed to trade BCH in just a couple of days after the fork.

actually it was a day later and I was able to sell the cash at around $1200 USD in BTC cash per coin, sweet

Personally, I didn't trust bittrex as a storage for my coins as we all know this is an exchange and not a wallet. So as the hard fork is approaching I choose to store my coins in coinomi wallet which is supports bitcoin gold and here I hold private keys and with this I feel safe.
