I heard in the last split people who had BTC got free BTC CASH. How does one get BTC Gold when it splits?
from what information that their team released so far, things will be exactly the same with some minor differences. so you just have to hold the private keys of your bitcoins in order to be able to claim the new airdrops. if they add a replay protection things will be very easy. if not you will have to take additional steps to claim it.
in any case wait until they release better and more information, then it will be clear. so far their website has nothing on it except a date!
PS - Im pretty sure i posted this earlier but cant find it anywhere, are we allowed to talk about BTC Gold?
sure, there is nothing wrong with that. although it is best to always use the search first before jumping to creating a new topic.
and since it is an altcoin, the topics belong to the altcoin board.
