Just finished loading my BTG from my BTC address :
- Downloaded the Windows wallet from the BTG website
and sync'ed it fully (took a day and half) then encrypted
it with a passphase.
- Moved my BTC to another wallet address for security
- Got the private key for the old address using the Bitcoin
core wallet console:
walletpassphase 'wallet passphrase' 600
dumpprivkey 'wallet address'
walletlock
- From the Bitcoin gold wallet console:
walletpassphase 'wallet passphrase' 600
importprivkey "bitcoinprivkey"
walletlock
This activates a re-scan to locate your coins and within the
hour my BTG appeared with new 'G' address that has the
BTC private key.
Next I'm going to move these to the address provided
after the sync of the BitcoinGold wallet for safety.
Happy retrieving, I've got nowhere to send them but at least
I have them

I moved my BTC to a paper wallet from trezor pre fork and moved them back post I can see my BTG on the blockchain still just need to load my key and send them all somewhere
So far I have BTG on a paper wallet, some on HitBTC and some on suprnova from mining once trezor releases their update for BTG support then ill move them all on there until then they can stay where they are
