Every address that has a balance in BTC before the fork will receive an equal amount of the (forked coin) in this case BTG. The BTC private key has the same amount in different units on a different chain. To redeem the forked coin you should import your private key to a supported BTG wallet. From there you can claim your BTG and make a transaction to an exchange address. But keep in mind that Coinbase doesn't show your private key, so you won't be able the forked coin till Coinbase decides to support this chain.

Thanks,  I really don't like they way all these wallets handle private keys.  It's just a string of numbers, we should have the option of dumping the raw numbers to a backup.   I hate the way trezor makes me play games with all these seed words.  Just give me the number.
