What wallet will support bitcoin gold

How to Sell your Bitcoin Gold (BTG)?

With the fork having already split Bitcoin, expectations are for Bitcoin Gold coins to be available sometime this month. Holders of Bitcoin at the time of the fork received an equal amount of Bitcoin Gold (“BTG”) tokens on participating exchanges. So, one Bitcoin will give you one Bitcoin Gold.

Getting an equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold coins does not mean that your Bitcoin portfolio will double in value. As always, Bitcoin Gold’s value will be subject to the ability to buy and sell on exchanges and also supply and demand.

Assuming that you had a wallet of Bitcoins at the time of the Bitcoin Gold fork, in order to access the Bitcoin Gold tokens that will have been issued, there are a number of initial steps that will need to be carried out:

1. Ensure that you control your private keys.
   • If you hold your Bitcoins in a custodial wallet, on an exchange, create your own wallet and send your Bitcoins to one or more Bitcoin addresses in the new wallet.
   • As full node wallets can be resource intensive, hardware wallets are a second best option. You can also create a paper wallet.
   • The wallet will hold your private keys when the Bitcoins have been sent.
   • Make sure that you back up your private keys. Both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Gold will have the same private keys.
2. Avoid a Replay Attack:
   • While the Bitcoin Gold Fork is reported to be replay protected, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
   • Avoid making any transactions for a number of days until the fork dust settles.
   • Unless you are in a major rush to sell your Bitcoin Gold coins once they’ve been received, the best action is no action.
   • The Bitcoin Gold coins can be claimed at any time in the future, as long as you have your private keys.

So, once you’ve got hold of your Bitcoin Gold coins, the next question will be on what to do with them. There was plenty of debate going ahead of the Bitcoin Cash fork over which exchanges will accept the coins. The Bitcoin Gold fork has been no different. There is good news, however.

According to tallerembajador.com.mx, Seven leading Bitcoin exchanges announced a policy on Bitcoin Gold. Japan’s largest exchange, Bitflyer has announced that it will distribute and trade Bitcoin Gold. Several of the exchanges have said that they will distribute, but not trade. Others have taken a wait-and-see approach.

Concerns over adequate security have caused some exchanges to only distribute or take the wait-and-see approach. Concerns over the threat of replay attacks have been raised by a number of exchanges.

The following Japanese exchanges have updated their policies on Bitcoin Gold in recent days:

Coincheck said that they will distribute Bitcoin Gold after they have confirmed its security and stability. They have yet to indicate a specific date and time.

Bitpoint stated that they will allocate Bitcoin Gold to their customers. The exchange also said that there may be delays should there be stability issues or risk of replay attacks. The exchange added that it was undecided on whether it would offer withdrawal and deposit services or permit the trading of Bitcoin Gold.

GMO Coin announced that it would distribute Bitcoin Gold to its customers, but was undecided on when. The exchange added that it had no plans to allow the trading of Bitcoin Gold.

Zaif has stated that it has no plans to distribute or allow deposits, withdrawals or trading of Bitcoin Gold. The exchange added that it would consider handling Bitcoin Gold once all concerns have been addressed.

Fisco and Bitbank made similar statements as Zaif, the wait-and-see approach preferred.

While Japanese exchanges have been relatively open-minded over the latest Bitcoin Fork, other exchanges have a mixed view.

Bittrex, which is the world’s third-largest crypto-exchange by trading volume, said that it will not list Bitcoin Gold trading. Bittrex announced that it would credit Bitcoin customers with Bitcoin Gold, however.

Coinbase, which is based in the U.S, said that it would not support Bitcoin Gold and considers the fork as a risk.

Exchanges that have already prepared trading operations for Bitcoin Gold include are as follows:

Bitfinex is one of the larger exchanges and has provided its Bitcoin holders with Bitcoin Gold tokens. While actual deposits and withdrawals are not yet permitted, trading of Bitcoin Gold tokens is possible. The pairings offered for trading are BTG/BTC and BTG/USD.

Binance has distributed Bitcoin Gold tokens and started trading Bitcoin Gold. Deposits and withdrawals are not yet allowed but will be available once the Bitcoin blockchain is stable. Trading of Bitcoin Gold tokens is permitted in the following pairs: BTG / BTC and BTG / ETH.

HitBTC has allocated Bitcoin Gold tokens to its Bitcoin holders in a ratio. Withdrawals and Deposits will be permitted once the blockchain is stable. Trading of Bitcoin Gold tokens is permitted in the following pairs: BTG / BTC and BTG / ETH.

Yobit has confirmed the distribution of Bitcoin Gold tokens and allows the trading in the following pairs: BTG / BTC and BTG / ETH.

BitStar has distributed Bitcoin Gold tokens and has also introduced BTG trading and expects to allow deposits and withdrawals once the BTG blockchain is stable. BitStar only permits the trading of Bitcoin Gold with Bitcoin.

The fact that some exchanges have distributed Bitcoin Gold tokens ahead of the distribution of Bitcoin Gold coins and allow trading them will be good news for many. The 66% fall in the futures value of Bitcoin Gold was likely to be due to investors looking to cash in on the free tokens.

Looking at today’s futures price, not all Bitcoin Gold token holders are in as much of a hurry. BTG’s futures prices stand at $ at the time of writing, recovering from a 28^th October low of $
