While the hard fork of the Bitcoin network that created Bitcoin Gold was expected for some time, the industry is still in a relative state of confusion regarding exactly what is happening with the newly generated Bitcoin Gold. At this point, exchanges and wallet providers are still coming forward to declare their positions and here is what we know so far.
Supporting Bitcoin Gold
Exchanges
While each exchange listed here has pledged to support Bitcoin Gold, the specifics vary slightly between each organization. Be sure to check their websites and social media accounts for the most up to date information. Currently Binance and Bittrex are leading the way with their stances, which stipulate that you are eligible to receive Bitcoin Gold (BTG) if you had a Bitcoin (BTC) balance on their platforms during the BTG snapshot block 491,407.When the Bitcoin block height reached 491,407, a snapshot was created for BTC holders and they will be credited the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold on a 1:1 basis as the snapshot. However, the deposit and withdrawal time for BTG will be announced at a later date, and both Binance and Bittrex are yet to decide whether to open a Bitcoin Gold trading market.
