Thanks for your generous answer but what happens I keep my bitcoin in web wallet let’s say blockchain.info where I am holding access for my private key. Can able to get bitcoin gold.even till now I dint claim bcc for the holding I had in blockchain.info on august fork.

In this case you do not have the private keys thus no access to the forked coins...

EDIT: You will need a paper wallet or @ PC or Hardware wallet in order to have access to the forked coins...

Until now I have only online wallet like Blockchain.info. please can you tell me how to get a good paper or hardware wallet? Thanks for this info.

Well for the hardware wallet you will have to buy online and it will take time to deliver...
For paper wallet you can use a javascript if you make a search here you will see one that has GitHub, so you can get it from there. then you need LiveCD (ubuntu) to boot the OS with NO internet!!! (if you like the paranoia unplug the HDD as well Wink )
Then you run the JS on the browser and you can generate wallets. then you print them Wink that is all.

If you have any troubles you could ask and I will try to help you.

BTW do not want to give you link to the JS as it is not mine and do not want to mislead you in any way.
I think the one I use (it is pretty old) is from this forum, so it is safe to say if it has a good reputation and in the [ANN] there is nobody saying there is problems with it then it is ok.

We'll just wait and see what will happen on November before, during and after the fork of the bitcoin for the Gold, Bitcointalk community will also announce the date and some precautionary methods to avoid problems during the fork like the last bitcoin cash fork.
For the Bitcoin cash, everyday it continues to dump from $800 to 309 price right now. it is time to sell my bitcoin cash or just wait?
Also i think bitcoin gold is the next ETH of the bitcoin because it has a good potential, can mine through low end devices without using ASIC.

I am waiting to know which web wallets and which exchanges will support this new coin. In the last fork, traders who saved their bitcoin on bittrex were able to sell BCH at higher price.

extra advice to add..

after the snapshot date.
move the coins. so that the bitcoins are no longer on private key of (ops eg:)"123456789qwertyuiop" using a bitcoin wallet.
so that while the bitcoin gold still has coins on that (ops eg:)"123456789qwertyuiop". you no longer have them on the same privkey on the bitcoin side to worry about any cross over

then.. knowing the bitcoin gold snapshot has coins on private key of "123456789qwertyuiop".
your then safer to import privkey into a bitcoingold wallet without worry of some hacker/middleman attack taking your privkey to empty your bitcoin stash..

personal note..
i prefer to think of core as the bitcoin gold altcoin. or just naming it segwit as they do NOT want it used as a peer-to-peer currency, they prefer the hub/spoke reserve currency. much like how gold transactions occur.

but then again core have always been screwed up with their buzzwords/ bait and switches and twisting the truth


BTW why there is no announce for this fork in here? is there any official post?
Where can we see who is making it and how it will be working?

thanks to OP for providing very useful information.
 I am also always curious about the hardfork that happened. who is the person or team behind it?

So are most of you getting bitcoin right before the fork?  How long before the fork should you get btc?  Also wouldnt it make sense to trade all your altcoin for btc before the fork just to get your bitcoin gold?  Also wouldn't it make sense to buy bitcoin just to get the bitcoin gold?  And if so how long before the bitcoin fork then?


And does anyone have a guess at how much bitcoin gold would be worth?


Also i assume if you havent claimed your bitcoin cash yet, well it doesn't matter and you could claim your bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold later on?

This is a good explanation for enlightening people who do not know them. Just like Bitcoin Cash we will get Bitcoins gold when the hardfork is over. The amount you get depends on how many bitcoins you hold. And you can buy it when it's available to exchangers.

This is a good guide. But one thing you forgot to say is to not make too much transactions until the bitcoin fork is over , cause its highly possible that a transaction might be lost during these times.

Back from Vacation!
This a very educative information. I want to know what you mean by desktop wallet. Is it the normal blockchain.info wallet that we all know or is it another type of wallet?
It means NOT keeping your coins in something like blockchain.info wallet, it is an online wallet.
What is meant by desktop wallets are wallets like Electrum, and Bitcoin Armory, the ones that you have complete control over our money on, and where you have control of your private keys.

Who is behind Bitcoin Gold?
This is the first time I am hearing such a thing.

I guess 2017 will be known for its multiple chain attacks against Consensus?

The best part of all this is that no one will be proven to be correct at the end.
All parties are wrong and these current actions contradict the system we
participate in. The positioning is ultimately worthless, IMO.

Unlike the bitcoin cash which had some some miners willing to mine it and some exchanges listed it on their website way before it came into being, i haven't really heard about any hype about the soon to be Bitcoin Gold at all. It will surely be dead on arrival.

Though most people were scare during the August bitcoin fork that gave birth to bitcoincash but at the end of the day every thing went through smoothly and those that purchase bitcoincash when it was launch instantly made alot of profit and some also lose along the line. I just want to be ready so that I will not miss out.

This means three forks this year. This one is pretty similar to BCH fork in august, it's just the question how it will roll price-wise. But the question is, if/when the forks will affect the investors approach?

A very nice piece of information.
But during the last fork that resulted to BitcoinCash, I had some units of BTC on my wallet.
After the fork, I got equivalent amount of BCC as the BTC I had. Am just thinking if that would be the case with this one too, or am I wrong?

Kindly tell me precisely which wallet you kept your bitcoin that gave you the equivalent amount of Bitcoin cash so that I can try it with  the fork that is going to take place this October. I miss it during the last fork.
