Ah yes, that makes sense, as he would somewhere have BTG to the same value which hasn't been sold. Makes sense....guess it is up to Luno or whoever you are using to keep track of that :wtf:

If your btc was in a wallet of which you have the seed - it's your responsibility. If in Luno - depends if they will support btg. If they don't, you don't get btg. :D
 
My attitude is to not worry about doing anything with regards to these forks at all - until such time as they prove worthwhile.
If BTG becomes popular, then more mainstream wallets will support it, and at that point I'll claim them. Trying to claim them now, in order to sell them for some other crypto-currency means finding willing buyers anyway and I don't see many people buying BTG right now, so won't be so easy.

Not very soon.... unless this graph swings upwards. :confused:

Well, at the moment, it's trading at ~$163.
I should've received ~2.5BTC at the fork, so that's potentially ~$400 (~R5500).
Not a lot, I know, but also not entirely trivial.

Yes, I know I should've moved my BTC away from Luno before the fork. But, still it will be nice if Luno give us a withdraw option like they did with BCH. Even, a shapeshift option to transform it directly to my BTC balance will be cool.

thats what Im hoping for as well, a option for BTG and a shapeshift like option for alternative crypto like LTC and Dodgecoin.
 
Luno won't support BitcoinGold due to security concerns. BitcoinCash was different to this as it was stable, secure and open to review.

See blog post here.

Summary:
Bitcoin Gold code is not currently in a*sufficiently secure state, there was a suspicious private*premine*of tokens, it does not adequately support two-way*replay protection, and it isn’t publicly available for review and auditing by Luno or other developers. For these reasons,*Luno won’t support Bitcoin Gold.

I have been waiting, but eventually bought before the fork, albeit at a more expensive price.

I think ima just hold it now. Too much buying and selling and doing me any favours.
 
It seems like a lot of people don't understand how a fork works, and what it means to be in control of your own public keys.

Because of this, and the fact that Luno isn't planning to support BTG at this stage, I feel that they should have sent out an announcement telling their customers to move their BTC to private wallets before the fork
