<p>If I understood it correctly, an unconfirmed transaction during the hardfork means "that the BTC's are still on the sender's adress".
Why? Because the people behind BCH/BTG copy the whole blockchain at one moment and if your transaction is unconfirmed => it's not in the blockchain => they can't copy it.
And that means that the sender of the BTC will have access to the BCH/BTG and the receiver gets nothing of that.</p>

When is it too late to get BCH and BTG from the fork from an appropriate wallet?
