What's this..? I see its trading on Yobit gone from 532 to 411 where it's currently at.
I thought the fork was next month?

No it happened a few hours ago. It hasn't prelaunched per say but it has distributed free coins so anyone who holds a private key for Bitcoin

the Yobit thing started yesterday about 25 hours ago. maybe more. and there was another small exchange that i have forgotten the name of and that already had BTG listed for more than 2 days and it was being traded at 0.04BTC and before yobit listed it price went to 0.06BTC there also!

it is actually becoming a common thing to create "future" markets!
i think bitfinex started this by adding BU (bitcoin unlimited) a very long time ago and still has the market despite BU being dead.

Hm okey, so I have private keys, what do I do with them to claim BTG?

you have to wait until they start mining BTG and release the software and the wallet before you do anything.
but you can move your bitcoin to a new wallet now so that you won't have to wait in the future when they released it and you wanted to claim.

Not a good idea... There's probably no replay protection now so if you move your bitcoins you can move (and lose) your Bitcoin Gold too without knowing it

The network isn't even running yet and they said it won't be until replay protection is in place.

I'm way more concerned about replay protection with SegWit2x. It's a mess.
