Bittrex gave out Bitcoin Cash to those holding Bitcoin in the previous fork (I got mine) so I'm hoping they will do the same with Bitcoin Gold.
I'm going to wait until there is a formal announcment form Bittrex before moving Bitcoin from my electrum wallet.
There was a method to use Electrum & Electron Cash wallets to get the forked coin but I've not tried it - anyone here tried it ?
Will the Electum/Electron trick work with Bitcoin Gold ?

Couple of links on Electrum/Electron.
https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt
https://electroncash.org/

Electron Cash has nothing to do with the Electrum team, it is a fork and it has unsigned binaries, not safe to install on your main computer.
Use a spare computer to deal with hardforks, trust no one and be paranoid. Excess security is better when it comes to bitcoin. So just wait for the official Bitcoin Gold client to be released and use that.
If you want to import seeds, you will have to wait for someone to release an Electrum fork.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Electron Cash wallet. Looks like I'll just hold my Bitcoin in the Electrum wallet, better safe than sorry, and wait until there's more solid information about which wallet or exchange will guarantee getting the Bitcoin Gold bonus - if at all.
