<p>Nope, BTG hard fork has already happened. If your exchanges don't support BTG, then there is nothing you can do to claim your BTG.</p>

@lsd just wait for "Electrum Gold" or something like that (a bitcoin wallet). It may take a month. Also don't fall for scams, 100% of "claim your bitcoin gold" websites are scam. The only official website is https://bitcoingold.org/. Keep an eye on that website.

Thanks all for your answers. So if I send all my BTC from three exchanges to my own wallet I will be able to receive S2X coins right? 

How long do I need to keep the coins in my BTC wallet for it to qualify?

are you saying that if a wallet such as "Electrum Gold" comes out, I will still be able to claim bitcoin gold by sending my btc coins to such wallet?

<p>I'm with three exchanges, one says they don't support BTG and therefore user should withdraw their BTC before Nov 16th's fork takes place.</p>

<p>Another one says they will issue 1:1 segwit2x.</p>

<p>The last one doesn't seem giving a clear answer. </p>

<p>I have some BTC in these three places. If I withdraw my BTC to my desktop wallet, would I be able to receive segwit2x and BTG when fork take place? </p>

Segwit2x was cancelled (see https://medium.com/@OneMorePeter/onwards-all-in-on-segwit-9e7cb3faa73d), so this question is irrelevant.

# Will I be still getting segwit2x coins if I store BTC in my desktop BTC wallet

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-28)

I'm with three exchanges, one says they don't support BTG and therefore user should withdraw their BTC before Nov 16th's fork takes place.

Another one says they will issue 1:1 segwit2x.

The last one doesn't seem giving a clear answer.

I have some BTC in these three places. If I withdraw my BTC to my desktop wallet, would I be able to receive segwit2x and BTG when fork take place?
