...it might be a good idear to sweep the paper wallet into a different bitcoin wallet, wait untill the sweeping transaction has confirmed, and afterwards (and only afterwards) import the private key from your paper wallet into a bitcoin gold compatible wallet.
these are mandatory steps not just a "good idea" at this point. because bitcoin gold fork does NOT have a replay protection until now that we are talking and the fork takes place in about 118 more blocks (less than 19 hours)
edit: this fork just gets more and more funny
https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/62 26 minutes ago. is this the last minute fork or what, nothing seems to be ready for this fork
there are still compile errors too!
