I was wondering. What is stopping exchanges that don't support the new BTG using your bitcoin and claiming it for them selves, without you ever knowing about it?
Like Bittrex and cryptopia, they didn't support the Bitcoin Gold. But what is stopping them to use your bitcoin to collect bitcoin gold, without you ever knowing?
What is your opinion guys?
Nothing is stopping them. Point is that if an exchange openly says that it doesn't support a certain fork, that people have to accept this even though they may not like it ~ it's their platform so you go by their rules.
If the exchange in question is liquidating their fork coins despite them explicitly having stated that they don't support it, it's quite scummy and very unprofessional, but again, it's their platform.
If you want to make sure you end up with every fork coin, then temporarily move the coins to your own wallet and wait for the snapshot to be taken of the blockchain. It's all common sense that we're talking about here.
