Topic: How and where to keep Bitcoins to get free Bitcoin Gold? - page 2. (Read 1047 times)
What you need to do during fork is to keep your bitcoins on wallet and exchangers who have supported BTG so you get free BTG. And one you must remember is that you do not have any transacation when the fork starts already because it may be lost. And as I know it you will receive 1: 1 I mean some bitcoins your hold you will also receive BTG
You must be one of the many people who are getting their Bitcoin ready for the coming hard fork which can give birth to Bitcoin Gold akin to what transpired in August which was the birth of Bitcoin Cash. as for me, I am just keeping my small hoard of Bitcoin in Bittrex because they are supporting (as always) the birth of Bitcoin Gold and I can get my share of it no matter what. The date has been set for the delivery of BTG and am sure people would be rejoicing for this day and then people would be selling their BTG to BTC afterwards. After all, it is only Bitcoin which is the real Bitcoin just like you can call a sunflower as rose but we know the real thing. Good luck!
Nothing is clear as of this moment and the only definite information that we have is that you need to have control of your own private keys by 10.25 or earlier else you should not be getting any equivalent BTG from your BTC. I've been trying to search as much information as I could about this upcoming fork and make a post from it but sadly, all I have are some indefinite information from their team's end. Fortunately, I came across this article briefly stating what to do to get your own share of BTG.
Here's a snippet from the said article:

And here’s the important part: Both of your coins (BTC and BTG) will have the same private keys.
Moreover, due to this fork/split, another problem called Replay Attacks can happen.
Though, they say that they have replay protection in place, but we are not sure how effective it is as it has not been tested live.
So to avoid replay attacks and access your free BTG coins, we suggest you take care of the following things:
Avoid transactions for some days until the dust settles to avoid replay attacks.
Keep your Bitcoin private keys with you, not in a third party exchange like Coinbase.
Use hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S and Trezor. Last time, during the Bitcoin Cash fork, these two hardware wallets were the first to support the forked coin.
If you don’t have a hardware wallet, use software wallets like Jaxx, Coinomi, and Exodus to control your private keys.
You can also use a paper wallet or brain wallet.
If you hold your keys in a paper wallet or software wallet, wait for instructions on how to access your BTG coins.

Thanks. Seems like i suck at search.
EDIT: I am still concerned with these question as I cant find answer to this:
Whats the last deadline to have Bitcoins in the wallet to get free Bitcoin Gold?
For example: Is it possible to have bitcoins in my wallet on 24th October and take advantage of free Bitcoin Gold on 25th October? or must I keep it there earlier for some time?
