So since the bitcoin gold is finally on the coinmarketcap, I understand (after reading few news articles) bitcoin gold (BTG) was indeed officially forked. I was very confused with fork being cancelled and now coin cap listed on coin marketplace.

Since it is officially coming up on the exchanges. Can someone provide information on how to claim BTG? There seem to be a lot less information compared to BCH fork. Is the official date of fork Oct 23rd? I since have moved portion of BTC holding from offline wallet to coinbase. So hoping I still get original value that I had in my wallet at the time of fork.

Hope for more information, anything is appreciated.


Side question...starting with same momentum as BCH, do you think BTG will follow its predecessor's rollercoaster ride?
