Bitcoin Forum

Another hard fork seems to come soon. The new bitcoin will be named "Bitcoin Gold". How would you think about this?

Bitcoin Gold will be successful as like Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin price will go higher before and after the new hard fork?


https://www.coindesk.com/first-cash-now-gold-another-bitcoin-hard-fork-way/

my main concern for this fork (like the others) are exchanger who will support it as soon as it happen.. other than that i guess everyone's at the window wataching and waiting..

There is only one BITCOIN I know. Any other coin with Bitcoin attached to its name is either an Altcoin or a mere Bitcoin wannabe.
Bitcoin will continue to be the most popular coin unless it is hijacked by anti-cryptocurrency/anti-decentralization rebels.

I was informed by my friend in twitter about this new "Bitcoin Hardfork". At first, I was like "is this for real?". But then, I went to their website and saw that they are really pushing this Bitcoin Gold this coming October. I really don't know what they're trying to achieve here but their main point is they will be providing support to mining BTC Gold using GPUs again. I must say that they are lacking some important information and if I'm not mistaken, they don't have any ANN here in Bitcointalk.

Time will just tell if this will be something in the future. Bitcoin hodlers will just have "free money" again.  ;D

Unfortunately it's not a surprise to see more Bitcoin spin-off altcoins after BCash set the precedent. The release of new altcoins via the "split-mechanism" has a better chance of "success" (meaning a fraction of Bitcoin's value being temporarily sucked up by the altcoin) than releasing those trashcoins the traditional way. Marketing is virtually free (for now).

Of course this is not a good development. Because it increases confusion regarding the original Bitcoin and may also have dangerous implications during the split-off period - especially when there's no replay protection.

I don't accept new type of forked bitcoins and I'll never use them. I won't even trade them. They can't make divided bitcoins on the earth just because they want it in this way.

I didn't knew anything about this until now (I'm certain that it's the case for other members too). Either way, the fact that we didn't hear about this before and that the fork is happening next month only means that It's nothing serious or to be afraid of. If it happens then for us, It could mean more free coins, It will get dumped just like BitcoinCash.

Well I don't know about this one but I think they're just making a lot of confusions to people. Why another hard fork? Then somewhere in the line I read in the article the words "...the plan is being hatched in China." Let's see if this will really push through and what will happen next. But one thing I am certain, I am not gonna support this another alt.

it is not a hard fork it is just a fork from bitcoin!

it is not the first one either. there are already a couple of them around. off the top of my head i can name BitCore which is a bitcoin fork with SegWit+10 (or 20) MB blocks and 2 min block time.

there is no end to these forks and you can never prevent it. they just create new useless altcoins, get some traction, sometimes do an airdrop and then slowly die and disappear.

It may be similar to Bitcoin Cash. But maybe it will actually fall in price and there may be no patronage here. It's just based on my opinion. Because there will be a second split and the people will have free money. So no matter what the bitcoins happen are bitcoins and remain no 1. Because those split are just altcoins. We can not even say it, Let it go and go with it. And just let the time take action

Well, I'll keep my share as soon as the fork happens. I like the idea that my hard wallet used to support BTC alone but after the fork on BCH, they upgraded my wallet and became able to support the new blockchain. Now, it seems like I'll be getting another free set of coins.

Regarding BTC price, I guess there is no need to panic at the moment... if the price goes down then it's gonna be an opportunity to buy.

Developers are creating new coin under bitcoin as it is easy to market than creating new coin in Traditional way and promote it. But for me it is sound like new set of coin, new set of profit like what happen last august Hard fork where the born of bitcoin cash, having my wallet free of BCC. As of now BCC is quite successful and there are alot of traders using and trading it. Hope that this new coin associate again in Bitcoin will success. But now lets watch and wait what will happen this October.

I cannot see why we would want another fork, if Bitcoin Cash already showed that the support for it is weak/average.. This

is just another way for people to receive free coins for zero effort. A lot of people will now buy bitcoins, just to receive those

free coins, when it happens. In the end, those coins will be sold for Bitcoin again. { that is to say, if it follows the same route

as Bitcoin Cash }  ::) ???

Forgot to claimed my bch before maybe by the next hard fork will be able to have some freebies.  But I hope this one will be much better in bch.  And the price value might be reasonable.

More free coins? Always welcome.
Another dump because people will panic with FUD? Buy low is always good.

Last time I got around 10% more bitcoins and the price skyrocketed, my only thoughts were: there should be more hardforks.

In my opinion I think Bitcoin Gold will be more successful than Bitcoin Cash and the price of Bitcoin will keep increasing after the 2nd hard fork in October cause as I read after the hard fork in October it'll much more difficult to mine Bitcoin and the amount of Bitcoin still stable that why I think Bitcoin price will increase very quicky as it did after the hard fork on 1st August. I believe that Bitcoin price will get over 5k$ soon and maybe it'll reach 7k or 8k$ until the end of this year

Bitcoin Cash fork was profitable to many bulk holders and now people are trying the same strategy to make instant money. But this time Bitcoin Gold will compete with Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin. I don't think people will worry much about this fork by analysing the past fork. Last time price shoot after the fork. Now people know that and won't panic sell. I don't think fork if happens will have any major effect this time.

Which one is going to be Bitcoin Gold - the one with segwit2x or the one with just segwit? (It's hard to tell from the name!)

I think that is actually a good move that might actually sky rocket the value to more than $10000 by the end of this year. Let's just hope that it will be worth more than bitcoin cash or even bitcoin itself.

We saw now bad was bitcoincash this wll be worse. We already had divided opinion in this and with this bitcoingold we will only make thing worse then they are.
Dont know why they want to see this happen or not but we have seen that some exchanges had difficulties with this. In my opinion this will only make bigger war with bitcoincash and bitcoingold who will be better worth more, be next to bitcoin.

This is just starting to be war between certain miners group by my opinion, and somewhere in the middle we will lose.

I dont get it? still even I read this provided article or website. As I understand maybe the name will change not the currency impact.

If you look at the charts, the so successful Bitcoin cash is rolling downwards like a stone. I guess that the smart ones cached out already. Now it's just another altcoin.
Bitcoin gold? New fork? Free money again for Bitcoin holders. And some miners will get lured to mine that altcoin. No biggie.

It is a kind of ICo the developers of bitcoin  gold and bch hijack bitcoin  community. It;s ok we will get high amount of airdrop again and make a lot of money.  My BTC will be kept in my wallet and Bitcoin gold will be sold to buy btc again, then waiting for a new hardfork. LOL

Well, basically I have no problem if that means that I would be receiving an equivalent of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) to my current small stash of Bitcoin. However, am just hoping that unlike what happened in weeks leading to August 1, there would be no confusion and so many FUDs going around as we should only be dealing with facts from now on. There will always be place for a new alt just like how the market received BitcoinCash (BCH).

And I am hoping that this can be the last hard fork to ever happen with Bitcoin as we are already getting to be ridiculous with this kind of set-up where market players could not unite on the issue hence the need for a hard fork (unlike what is happening with Ethereum where there is no contentious fork).

Well it is not that surprising now that after the first split there will be more in the future. Yes, I have read that it will be called Bitcoin gold. It was also discussed that it is just like Bitcoin Cash but smaller. I don't know why they call it bitcoin, bitcoin is still the strongest currency.they are like alts but I think with stronger foundations.
They also said that with the production of offspring is relevant and more effective for a successful adaption.

yes more forks more free coins and free money. some of them are worthless though. its best to dump right after receiving them. i don't get why they will keep doing it when all they concentrate in the end is some other projects. they are just adding some junk in crypto which are considered leech in btc price. which exchanges supports this fork?

the information about this new altcoin is not yet enough. their website does not have anything on it either. the only news comes from their Twitter and from what I have read so far it seems like they are just using bitcoin code not the blockchain and they will just take a snapshot of it at a certain date like what other altcoins with airdrops have one (Byteball, stellar, bitcore,....) and give 1:1 amount of their altcoin.

this does NOT mean a hard fork. coindesk seems to be spreading wrong information now!

I don't think that Bitcoin Gold will be as successful as Bitcoin Cash, because very few of the major players are supporting them. Anyway I am happy. IMO, I am getting free coins and at the same time the value of Bitcoins in my wallet is not going to get reduced.

Why fork again? Come on. Who believes in this forking crap. I think we should all fork the chain and call it something. It gives no value to the coin at all.
Stop the forking, because nobody will accept you.
If you dont have consensus, too bad! The majority has the power.

If you are not satisfied with that, make your own altcoin.

I think there are many people who want to disrupt Bitcoin. These might be backed by the banks or governments. Keep calm and keep hodling :)

There is already a bitcoingold on coinmarketmap, but I don't know how I feel about this fork, I hope there aren't 100 more forks next year.

there is no "bitcoingold" on coinmarketcap, there is only one "bitGold" on there which is an old one and it is one of those bitshares asset things that are tradable only on bitshares openledger.

this is something new that as I said above there is not any information about it to be found except their twitter handle which I can not locate again now!

edit: here is the website: http://btcgpu.org/ which also has links to the Twitter and Github,.. links.

Yeah this altcoin won't be as much "valueable" as Bcash.
But 3-5% of Bitcoin's value I think is possible.Still quite some money.
And speculators will gamble on a pump as always.
So there is definitely the possibility to make more bitcoins out of this.

More free money, now is just a change in mining algorithm, it seems the future is all bitcoin forks with a slight variation. :D

Don't think it will be as profitable as bcash, but free is free...

In fact, if the result of this new plug will be similar to the first one. This is a good way to raise money free. Preliminarily transferring all your funds to bitcoins and getting a new bitcoin, and then just sell it at the peak of value. Let me remind you that BCC grew to 1300 $ for 1BCC. Having at least 5 bitcoins, there may be a chance to get rich by another 5 thousand dollars. And it's great. Who knows what will happen in reality?

this is more like "free money" coming in October rather than anything else. i don't know why they are calling it a hard fork though, probably a mistake on the news site's article part.
this is good though because it will give another boost to bitcoin holder's pockets and also it will open up an option for all the GPU miners who no longer will be able to mine ETH since it dies by the end of this year when it forks.

No one is following a link here, but thanks. And this is just more propaganda and it will go nowhere. Trust me it has been tried over and over again here and it is just a waste of time. There is nothing that you can do that will alter the future and there is nothing that is going to hurt Bitcoin.

The sad truth is Bitcoin is way more centralized than you know

Incoming bloodbath similar to end of July!? There's money to be made if there's blood on the streets!

Another stupid alt trying to cash in the name of Bitcoin, don't know when will they grow up? Why do they keep on doing it, Bitcoin cash was a failure, even this will be a failure, I did not buy Bitcoin cash, nor am I going to buy this, instead I will dissuade people to put their money into such coins, I hope this coin never sees the day, or if does disappears in a day. Such coins won't last long, and it's my advice completely avoid these coins.

Another incoming hardfork!? why are this people doing this to bitcoin. First is the BCH  hardfork and second is china banning bitcoin, as i looked to the price of btc today, its slowly gaining up again. And now another one. When will this problem gonna end?  Until bitcoin dies? But still i shall and i will still  use bitcoin  as my primary cryto currency. Long  live btc.

Before the bitcoin cash was forked from bitcoin, the value of bitcoin didn't really suffer. Well, I don't think forking bitcoin gold from bitcoin won't make bitcoin value suffer, either. I even expect the bitcoin price to rise up before and after the forking, just like what happened when the bitcoin cash was forked from bitcoin.

One more thing: I think, it is not what will happen between bitcoin and bitcoin gold which should be talked about, but it should be what will happen between bitcoin gold and bitcoin cash. Once bitcoin gold will be forked from bitcoin, the tendency is that people will leave bitcoin cash and transfer their money to bitcoin gold (I also think that bitcoin gold will be more valuable than bitcoin cash in the coming years).

Interesting.. but what have the Bitcoin Gold to offer to people?
Of course the price can grow up or can go down..
2017 year of changement in bitcoin :)

You may be correct, but it's a very bad assumption. You are assuming the market conditions are exactly the same; the opposite is true. This time, hype has calmed down quite a lot, due to the uncertainty around China (rumors about bans on the network and mining) and now Russia/Korea. Also, it looks like bad news for an American ETF, with Grayscale pulling its application with the SEC. Bad news is coming in from all directions, and ICOs are receiving a lot of unwanted regulatory attention. That can discourage investment, which can in turn discourage investment in the cryptocurrencies that are used to fund ICOs.

And all of this in addition to a contentious hard fork in November, and another spinoff hard fork in October? I think it's possible that we are in for a longer term sideways/bearish market for a while.

Well, something like this was expected, as long as there re noobs to support these forks, they will take place. Guess who makes the most money off these? These assholes who proposed them and want to reinvent BTC. So just go after it people. There s enough time to cry later.

Negligible unless it can turn into an effective fork that proves itself as useful
I see no real major value in this hard fork.

So we are going to see another dump in the month of October. Bitcoin cash became successful only because of bitmain and antminer and nothing else, people were like bitcoin cash is going to be a fail but at the same time bitmain showed it's full support to bitcoin cash and that's how the price increased, now let's see who supports bitcoin gold! I am curious to know whether bitcoin gold will also profit the miners just like bch or not.

I think the 3rd hard fork is slated in November and not October. What you have read is that Bitcoin Gold is to be launched on October 25.

One thing is certain most people will recognize BTC as the real bitcoin the rest will always remain as altcoins, and AFAIK Bitcoin Gold will only give competition to bitcoin cash as they devs continue to try to improve the existing code/protocols. But one problem I see of having another bitcoin sibling is miners priorities will change and maybe affect the prime bitcoin (BTC) network in due course(*stand to be corrected)

I read that they initially had some ICO structure built inside, and they wanted to take 1% of all Bitcoin Gold. Sounds super lame and stupid imo.

This means another dump maybe experience again like what happen in august but I'm not afraid because for sure bitcoin will pump again and will have a greater value than ehat it has today. More demand will be seen because the popularity of bitcoin continue to grow.

I thought most of the community does not support this fork at all?
If the BTC continued to fork and split like this then, will the market be flood with a lot of cyptocurrency related to bitcoin?
I was just curious. After the fork has been done and the coin already splitted. What will happen to the altcoin? Does that have a roadmaps to? Or some platform? Or are the holders just holding those things?

This will be just like an another alt coin the same thing with Bitcoin Cash and the dead BU. It will help to make the price of bitcoin higher again, because there will be another profit out of thin air. And every person that will be able to import their bitcoin gold will eventually dump it and the profit there will be on the buying order of bitcoin legacy / the original bitcoin for those who didn't understand what is it.

Yes Another hard fork  to come soon. The new bitcoin will be named "Bitcoin Gold".And It will help to make the price of bitcoin higher again, because there will be another profit out of thin air. Bitcoin price will go higher before and after the new hard fork came and it's a fact . So Another hard fork coming in to the October and New Bitcoin name is "Bitcoin Gold".

Then we can see another dump for bitcoin in this coming October Fork because many people will sell there bitcoin or put in other altcoin, waiting for this event happen again to buy more Bitcoin,like what happen when Bitcoin Cash was introduce I see a lot of news/article for this event but I guaranty to you that bitcoin will pump and go to the moon after this split over this only another altcoin with bitcoin name.

I really don't  think so what will happen when bitcoin will be change to bitcoin gold.
But, base on the information i have been reading about this topic,
it's not bad enough to say, Bitcoin Gold allows GPU to mine bitcoin Again,
or Even Faster money making. I don't know either if it will be easy to be studied.

Therefore Bitcoin and Bitcoin GOLD is just the same crypto currency,
whatever Happens, I am really Assured that Bitcoiners will Just Enjoy It.
Lets See for The Incoming.

This just means another negative news that could aggravate worse the bitcoin ecosystem, dragging along with it another fall in price and a decline in confidence in btc. I really do not understand why they want to make another fork? 

Mehh, it's just another altcoin using the name of bitcoin like bitcoin cash. it's smart though, bitcoin gold will get automatic sucess like the bitcoin cash do. I don't know about that fork though bitcoin gold, maybe I will take a time to find informations about it but I think it's just same like bitcoin cash.

I don't think it is the segwit2x fork, I think this is something completely different. Since BCH fork there are too many rumors about new potential fork, but seriously i think only 2x is the the fork that might be real all others are just useless rumors.

With bitcoin gold in the works and another hard fork slated for November, it seems that prediction is slowly becoming reality.

the last sentence makes it sound like it will be 2 new coins.

When we say segwit its just a softfork it means no split will happen on that particular software upgrade, but when we say segwit2 it implies hardfork thus it will cause the chain of bitcoin to split during software upgrade. Just my cent :)

I don't think the price of bitcoin will fall before the split !!!

The price of bitcoin might get higher just before the split, the more bitcoin you hold the more bitcoin gold you will have, the more free money for the bitcoin holders and then depending on the adoption and support of bitcoin gold people might start dumping it just to get more bitcoin or other coins of their liking.

That article reported wrongly. It wasn't even a hard fork for Bitcoin Cash. It's a soft fork and BCC is an entities that wasn't suppose to exist in the first place. I wouldn't take the article too seriously in my opinion just for that.

I'm more concern about the real hard fork in November which Segwitx2 will be calling itself Bitcoin too. That's the one everyone should be focusing on instead (both in term of tech and market movement).

I don't like to see so many forking attempts, this is going to disrupt the Bitcoin growth, even though the effect will not big but there will be slight impact on Bitcoin because some of the investors will split their investment, and the release date is too near with the BitcoinCash, the rumour of this coin still got a low expectation, so I still don't know how well this coin expected to be

Bitcoin Gold implements the UAHF (User Activated Hard Fork) proposal to accept GPU mining. Miners can choose the size of the blocks they want to mine, with a default of 1 MB. It includes replay and wipeout protection

I don't think this will have a significant on Bitcoin.  Long-term trend will keep going up.  HODL!

Yup i agree with you peole have learned about the past on how to deal with hardfork, bitcoin will not drop, whats gonna happen is the other way around, but bitcoin gold will not be as valuable as in bitcoincash people more prepared now than before.

Bitcoin gold.  I think the name sounds cool.

New fork = free coin

Many concerns about bitcoin gold.  How will it affect bitcoin?  Will this cause panic among investors.  Will it gain momentum with bitcoin miners?  Will these forks ever come to an end?

I guess i am excited for the news.  Long term i do not believe this will be that important but short term maybe price increase for bitcoin?

How is that going to help the coin in getting mass adopted for real world usage as compared to the main Bitcoin though? ;D

The things would be similar to the previous fork.
Bitcoin Gold might be higher than Bitcoin Cash after adding to the market
Bitcoins price will dump before the fork and it will have a new huge price after fork.

when we are talking about altcoins it is not about "mass adoption" it is only about how they can become more expensive or in other words how they can get more pumped. and being GPU mineable is a good perk in my opinion. look at ETH for example. one of the reasons why it even became popular was because of its mining.

There are factors to consider in orser to say that it will be successful as what bitcoin cash is, first is the people that will support the coin. If these traders see bitcoin gold like bitcoin cash then maybe it will be successful, a sudden rise in the price as the demand is also high. Also i think if it is going to be easier to mine than bitcoin, people may also patronize it. Who knows, we will see in october if it will be something like bitcoin cash.

I think it will go like this, it will go down before the hard fork happens and it will increase after the hard fork. But whatever will be the sequence the assurance of it is that bitcoin's price will increase. As it will generate an easy profit to the people that will have bitcoin gold by that time. And that's why this hard fork is going to be very good and healthy for the bitcoin economy.

I have doubts that it would succeed at the above goal (decentralization of mining) if it is successful in getting significant market capitalization.  Once it becomes very profitable to mine, people who live in areas with cheap electricity will heavily mine it to the extent that it would be unprofitable to mine for people with average electricity costs.

More free money for us since BTC holders will be rewarded again. This one is interesting since it is actually GPU mineable, nice stuff. :)

I do not expect it to have any kind of long term exposure, all these copycats eventually die.

If Bitcoin devs don't resolve the scaling issue, then the mass adoption of that currency is not going to last forever. The number of users are increasing, and the number of transactions will also increase proportionately. Even the increased 2 MB block size (as per Segwit 2x) may not be enough to accommodate all of the transactions in the future.

So, you're blaming coindesk? And you believe there's no hard fork coming and oh, by the way the following 'seems to be spreading wrong information' too...

Bitcoin Upgrade at Block 494,784 (https://segwit2x.github.io/segwit2x-announce.html)

instead of reading 1 line of my comment try reading the full comment that I wrote!


also I did not say there is "no" hard fork. all the links you gave below apart from 1 of them are talking about SegWit2x which has nothing to do with Bitcoin Gold!

Bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold are just same there is no effect of both for bitcoin in the future. I think Bitcoin can stand alone without both coins.

Since BTC Cash as a first fork of BTC which has proven to be just that, a fork, as another alt, I think another split will do no harm to BTC in general.

There might be some price fluctuation in the market, but that is. At the end all will come to the as usual.

And as someone else said it before, some free money on the way, because there will always be someone around who will buy it.

we will soon have some more fun and a good amount of reward equal to what amount of bitcoin we hold. i only see this as a good chance to increase the amount of bitcoin that hold. just like any other airdrop that has happened so far.

the good thing about this new airdrop is that it can not take anything from bitcoin's hashrate unlike what bitcoin cash can simply do. so no matter what they do, they will be a separate altcoin which is good.

I don't think that is a hardfork they are just using the bitcoin's code and create a new altcoin and i hope it will have an airdrops :)  it is just based on my understanding in the article but it needs more info anyways i hope this is true so i can get ready for an airdrop haha

Any hardfork is an altcoin by definition. It's also an airdrop as long as the UTXO set is copied. In the case of Bitcoin Gold, it will be. I think that this coin might cause an initial stir -- people love a massive airdrop. I think that's why there was so much "customer demand" for Bitcoin Cash from exchanges. It wasn't because people wanted Bitcoin Cash per se, it's because they wanted free money. Same logic applies here.

There is also some attraction to the gimmick of memory-hard/GPU-oriented mining, but it's mostly a gimmick.

I think it will be a good opportunity to get more profit, we can buy it when the price is cheap and ready to sell it at high prices, hopefully the price can soar like BITCOIN CASH, I will not miss this opportunity.

It is another opportunity for us to be more financially free, it seems that by the looks of it, bitcoin gold can surpass bitcoin cash, and will give us more profit. It is lile we are taking care of our own child, which in this case is bitcoin, not only does it gives us profit, security and hopes but it also gives us rewards, and this time its going to give another altcoin, which is bitcoin gold, another cryptocurrency that will give us more hope. I think this is one of the reasons, why banks do not like bitcoin, whenever it is broken down, another cryptocurrency will be produced and will give us more profit, in that sense,.why would you save in the bank, it will only give you less than 2% gain per anum, not even fit enough to battle inflation, though they have other investment plans, still compare to the percentage bitcoin can gain in months ot even days, it is still higher, and products of banks will not give you ghe reward bitcoin can give, which is bitcioin gold this coming fork. Hopefully bitcoin gold can bring an end to banks, bad mouthing bitcoin and make those countries that banned bitcoin realize what they have done.

im confused.
this bitcoin gold = the segwit2x?
does this mean free coins again like bcash?
if this is not the sg2x.
then u get free coins for btcoin gold and free coins for sg2x?
so 2times free coins.

or am i wrong?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is some minumum amount of coins you need to hold to recieve BTG during fork? Thanks

We lost out big time on Bitcoin Cash, but hopefully this time around can score a few free Bitcoin Gold. I think it is pretty sweet how simply owning a Bitcoin can get you like 10% ROI simply from free airdrops. Like, normally the stock market goes up 8% per year or 10% if you are lucky. And we just get free money basically from owning Bitcoin instead. Sweet.  8)

Can we really say that BCH is successful given the price range it has now as against the few days it was launched when price surged to over $800? As for the fork, this one won't be a big deal and we don't expect the same panic situation as August 1 that produced the BitcoinCash. Hopefully too we expect another round of bonus on the new coin.

I do like the name ... but what is the motivation for that  ?

good news...
but I'm not sure this coin will be able to keep up with Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash, but let's see what happens when Bitcoin Gold comes along.

oh .. I see

"Bitcoin gold will implement a proof-of-work change from bitcoin's SHA256 to Equihash, a memory-hard algorithm that is ASIC-resistant and optimized for GPU mining," explained pseudonymous bitcoin gold developer "The Sorrow."

https://www.coindesk.com/first-cash-now-gold-another-bitcoin-hard-fork-way/

OK ...

I think it can be more useful for long term investidors like miners and hodlers ...

GPU hardware have lower depreciation rate. Gold is Gold people like to hold it like your wedding ring ...

because im a miner, i will appreciate with this forking.
the difficult of ethereum is very high, for me to hard to get ROI for my hardware now. but with new currency called bitcoin gold, i can mining equihash with my gpu and holding it.

Nah it's far to happen.
Bitcoin cash is just a result of august hard fork and bitcoin gold will be just like that.
But touching again its new ATH will hope to happen again like what happened last august. The event will just reoccur as the fuds and trolls are every where again.

Regards to Semiconductor industry the Moore's Law is not working anymore (All Watts Considered, Keynote address, International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design, ACM, Portland, OR (2007)) .. so we must to go on the "parallelism" way (GPU is just a bunch of micro cores in parallel ...

regards the Gold stuff ... I still dreaming with something like

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53203.0

 ;D


 

Like there's gonna be something like a low power thing that uses high GPU miner, I think it will depend on a place to consider in engaging with mining and I think if you are a long term miner now your gonna be on top of the food chain with mining and if you are only just starting to mine right now the possibility to ROI would be very difficult, but well I like the 1000 gold bar you have shared it is pretty nice seeing this things.

Of course run a light-network node on a fan-less ARM device will be hard to beat in terms of energy efficiency ;D LoL ...

but we talking about Datacenters builders

"many energy-saving techniques developed for mobile devices are natural candidates for tackling this new problem space, but ultimately a Warehouse-scale computer (WSC) is quite different from mobile device." (Hölzle, Barroso Datacenter as a Computer)

So guys I'm confused … Bitcoin Gold will have another mining algorithm and some other changes. Doesn't bitcoin get any fork? Am I right? Nobody will/can change the standard for altcoins, so bitcoin will be the price maker for altcoins. Everybody who holds Bitcoin gets the same amount of bitcoin gold?

Sorry but I'm very confused.

I thought the next hardfork was in November? Anyways this is not a surprise surely there is and there will be other altcoins to be released in the market I guess a way to divert the market of bitcoin since it really grows very fast and the demand continue to increase but we should not worry because it will not affect so much the value of bitcoin I'm confident it will still remain stable in the market

I think Bitcoin is "the skeleton" since Satoshi's Whitepaper ... my main interest though... is about point 3 of his paper

3. Timestamp Server;

;-)  

It has been long foreseen after the first fork that took place in August and was stipulated to take place by November from what I know anyway, but October? I am not sure about that yet as the only October fork in everyone's mind now is the upgrade that will be done by Ethereum.

But whatever, same old, same old, it is just another means of having an extra cash. I do not even like the name anyway, so I will just stick with Bitcoin or probably wait for it to get pumped like BCC and sell. I do not expect anything different than what happened in August to happen again, except for the FUD that was generated as a result of the August fork that makes it different since most people do not even care about this one.

It is another piece of good news for the users that have tons of bitcoins in their bitcoin wallet, this is another chance to get some free money from the upcoming bitcoin hard fork. I guess we will see another huge dump of bitcoin gold onto the market once the trading of it goes live on exchanges site.

Lol it's a fork same like bch, if you have say 1 bitcoin, you'll get 1 bitcoin gold and no there's nothing like you must hold a minimum amount of bitcoin to get the fork coin.

I wouldn't mind few extra cash lol. i got really good amount selling bch. ::)

Dear everyone,

here is an article by Bitcoin.com with the title "Bitcoin Gold: A Very Unorganized Plan to Hard Fork Bitcoin With Connections to the NO2x Movement":
https://news.bitcoin.com/a-closer-look-at-the-suspicious-activity-involved-with-the-bitcoin-gold-fork/

This is a part of the article open for discussion:
>>There are also many other flaws involved with the project that hopes to hard fork the Bitcoin network in just a few weeks. As we reported earlier, the team does not have a testnet of the network created, so miners can’t test the system. Further, unlike the Bitcoin Cash network, the BTG project still implements the same per-block difficulty adjustment as bitcoin (BTC) in its code, and has no signs of an Emergency Difficulty Adjustment (EDA). Additionally, unlike the website’s claims, there is no replay attack protection added to the protocol, even though the team is adamantly against Segwit2x not adding replay protection. Another disturbing aspect of the BTG project is the implementation of a pre-mine within the code called the “PoW retargeting change for BTG hard fork pre-mine period.”<<

Furthermore, it looks like that BTG is trying to get all the GPU miners, which might switch to BTG, when ETH is switching from a proof of work to proof of stake algorithm. This of course, is a lot of mining power. Does anyone here, who mines ETH, planning to switch?

Kind regards,
Halcon D.

They should call the next fork "Peercoin" or "Terracoin" it's all the same SHA256 shit anyways  :D

The problem here is: Who "defines" which one is the "altcoin" and which one "the Bitcoin"?

In the case of forks with (projected) low acceptance and hashrate, like Bitcoin Cash and probably also Bitcoin Gold, it is easy to tell, but not so much with bigger ships like Segwit2x. You have then to answer the question: Is Bitcoin "the original chain" or "the chain with most hashrate"? And what if the Bitcoin Core devs created a hard fork (e.g. the "nuclear option" discussed some time ago)? Would they create an altcoin or simply an [hard-forking] update? You see, it's not so easy.

But maybe all these forks - Bch, Bitcoin Gold - have a positive consequence: After two or three forks more, the Original Bitcoin Chain's position as "the one and only Bitcoin" could at the end be strengthened. Because human mind is limited, nobody wants to remember all forks that could happen, and at some moment most Bitcoin users simply won't care about the newest hardforks. They will have the same importance than "regular" altcoins not created by a hard fork. This could also affect Segwit2x and limit its importance (probably for the good of Bitcoin).

ah there lies a key bit of information, from what you posted
it looks like they indeed are trying to hoover up the GPU miners
they see a gap in the market so to speak.

Interesting thread

got my interest from here sir, I haven't got that much information regarding to what can possibly happen from this fork and from your insight
I got some idea and I will read more and assess which is which and what can be the possible effect of this incoming fork from this investment that
I've got.

Luv it ... because asynchronous programming is my natural habitat  ;D

Do you think Bitcoin Cash was successful? It is not even close to Bitcoin so how it becomes successful. Bitcoin Gold will be the same as like Bitcoin Cash and I am expecting that it will not worth more than Bitcoin Cash or may be its price will fall badly.
Surely the price will rise again after the hard fork as it was boosted after the last hard fork in august.

what kind of coin is bitcoin gold???

We should avoid this hard fork. It is dangerous for bitcoin ecosystem and value. Exchanges and miners should ban this coin and not only think about profits.

I have heard that the fork is scheduled in november and some source says that will be delayed . Is it going to happen this month?

After the release of the forked coin there is always a possibility that the btc price will go higher . As lots of traders believe in btc than anything else so they will convert the forked coin into btc as soon as they receive it.

I really don't understand, why the developers are concentrating to create more new coins under the umbrella of bitcoin. Why they are using the name of the bitcoin, they should use some other name. Bitcoin Cash has been introduced recently and its future is still uncertain, it does not make any sense to introduce another coin by using same logic.

Even in last time fork every one expect the bitcoin is may fall back in the bigger value but fortunately value recovered and increased 4k USD but this we don't what will happen. We have to much safe by holding the bitcoin for sometime when spliting is taken implemented. That is all wallet provider site manages the bitcoin growth more.

Actually that's not it. They are going to use Equihash instead of sha256 to promote gpu mining.
Of course, pure coincidence that this Liao whatever is his name is heavenly invested in gpu mining and ties to get a bigger piece of the pie.



Those are not developers, those are just hungry hyenas who coy paste 1 lines of code and they claim they have a new breathtaking coin ready for the future.
They care for initial profits , they know that in the long run the coin is dead.

I'll play Bgold (BTG) like the same way I did Bcash (BCC), I will get aqcuire my BTG from the fork and use it to buy more Bitcoin immediately. Hey it's almost like free Bitcoin if you think about it.

If I receive Bitcoin Gold I dont sell until pumping like BCH.

Is there already a news if exchangers will credit bitcoin holders during this btg fork? Hopefully bittrex credits us btc holders btg when fork happens.

r u sure that there will be a "new" coin, like during the BCH fork?

Yes, it's Bitcoin Gold(BTG), may be in the future market will have a lot of bitcoin fork versions if this situation continuously going on. It could be another great time to buy if there's another big dip before the fork.

I think after the last fork with BCH spinning off people won't be as excited this time around. BCH did trade at around $800 briefly after the fork had completed then settled around $600 for a while and now its in the $300. I don't expect Bitcoin Gold to do much more than where BCH is now so maybe sell and transfer all back into Bitcoin itself like some have already said a bit of free cash to help you stack.

Hopefully this is the last one for some time and Bitcoin can do it's own thing without more hurdles.

Any wallet's announced support for Gold yet?

Could be, but I'm not sure that the market is quite ready for a dip like that yet. The bulls have retraced to the very last resistance before retesting all-time highs. I suspect that Bitcoin will continue to rally as there is still ample time before the real fork threat in November.

In the meantime, if anything, the Bitcoin Gold fork could be causing people to withdraw their BTC from exchanges, so they can recover the BTG after the fork. That could help drive the price back to $5000 and beyond. I suspect that November will be bearish for Bitcoin, though, as the Segwit2x fork approaches.

Bitcoin may experience a decrease in price but it may not be that big unlike the previous fork. But surely there will be a price increase that would happen but it may not be that much. People should have more faith in bitcoin given what has happened before with BCC.

So, if i have BTC after the fork i will receive free BTG? Right?

As long as you putted your bitcoin into the wallets or exchanges that promised that they will give bitcoin gold then you will receive bitcoin gold for sure and you need to remember that the amount of bitcoin gold that you are getting will be equal to the amount of your bitcoin so if you want more bitcoin gold then you need to buy or get more bitcoins to be deposited or to be held.

like happen some weeks ago, something like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2017191.0 , so yes, in the end this is free BTG for all, just be 100% that you follow tips on that thread.

I predict that people will dump his BTG so faster :P


Agree but you know... people are impatient... let's hope that bitcoin devs could  bring us to the table a good bitcoin who solved the current problems in a good way...

do you have any wallets which supports the fork of bitcoin gold or are there no informations out yet?

Idk bitcoin gold will be succes as Bitcoin cash or failed like bitcoin unlimited.
It succes or not according by response from user but i hope it'll be succes and about bitvoin price maybe it'll gow down beforw hardfork but after that it'll go to the moon i trust that, just like before.

Someone just linked me to this, I have no idea what to make of it, I am more on my alt coins at the moment with some BTC and BCH sat in Bitcoin Core wallets so it doesn't bother me either way.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7551nd/bitcoin_gold_fork_had_happened_a_week_ago_and_the/

Take a look and draw your own conclusions

i hope the bitcoin gold can hold his succes not like bitcoin cash, get high price at the time when it release and going down rapidly so fast, that makes me very dissatisfied

This article has more answers from two of the people responsible for Bitcoin Gold:

https://moneymorning.com/2017/10/06/the-bitcoin-gold-hard-fork-explained/ (https://moneymorning.com/2017/10/06/the-bitcoin-gold-hard-fork-explained/)

So basically exact same strategy  as the last time?
Sell all altcoins -> buy btc -> sell btw at high on/before 25 oktober -> buy altcoin low after Segwit2

what do you expect the price of bitcoingold to be during the first day ? and will exchange give bitcoingold like kraken, coinbase and so on

I think this is being done to mantain some mining capability of bitcoin. Moreover I think its quite different from any other altcoin. Not only because it has bitcoin with its name but because it can be mined is same way as bitcoin. Moreover I have heard that everyone will get btc gold equivalent to the  amount of btc they are holding.

As I know the upcoming hard fork will make Bitcoin become more difficult to mine and holder will receive amount of Bitcoin Gold equivalant to the amount of Bitcoin they have it's the same with the hard fork on 1st August when holder received Bitcoin Cash as much as the amount of Bitcoin. Beside I think maybe after the hard fork in this month Bitcoin price will be double soon cause the hard fork will make Bitcoin more difficult to mine :D

So, my question is, does all exchanges give you free Bitcoin Gold, if you hold bitcoins? So some specific exchanges? can someone name of them, so we will have a brief idea, where to hold to get some free gold :) thanks

Basically 0. It's clear it's a scam (see https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/757jf4/here_is_why_bitcoingold_is_shady_and_a_scam_you/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7551nd/bitcoin_gold_fork_had_happened_a_week_ago_and_the/), I've seen a hundred posts from people eager to dump it imagining they will get rich like with BCH. Whereas BCH actually had supporters. I've not seen a whisper of interest from anyone wanting to hold BCG.

So, while I was hopeful like everyone else that I'd wring some profit from BCG, I've literally struck it from my list of things to pay attention to in the weeks ahead. Maybe they will actually find some 2-bit exchange to host it (I notice nobody seems to have paid attention to that little detail), but if no one is dumb enough to buy who are you planning to sell to ahead of the scammers dumping it on the first poor soul they can trick into placing a buy order?

Guys! When will be this hard fork?
Will Myselium wallet support bitcoin gold?

I think its because of this upcoming fork that bitcoin's price is on the rise while every other altcoins ( except ripple) are falling. I hope that bittrex will support this new hard fork , so far they haven't said anything.
Btw there are many people online saying that Bitcoin Gold is a scam , what do you guys think?

because of this hardfork  bitcoin price is rising too much.my all cyrptos fucked up.i will not buy bitcoin because of that i dont think bitcoin golds gonna be common coin.

Please explain me, if I keep my BTC on exchanges like BTC, HitBTC and Livecoin will I receive BTC Gold? Or it's better to collect all BTC from exchanges to desktop wallet?

As a result of BTG, we are seeing some nice increases in BTC. It is a nice sight!

When will this mess end........

If each mess makes me money, I don't want them to end...

It's really sad to see, that how All Altcoin connected to Bitcoin, every-time bitcoin goes up, almost all alt coin goes down. But because of this mess, lots of day trader making tons of money, they are happy about it.

More and more opportunities these days :)

Can somebody tell me, when is this new hard fork going to take place?

thanks

Successful like BCC?? Really?? It is just another attempt to make a lot of profit by using the "bitcoin'' added to its name to attract more fools to invest.

I'm pretty sure that the recent Bitcoin price increases are not related to Bitcoin Gold. BTG is, in my opinion, too insignificant.

The reasons I guess that are more relevant for the price increase:
- hopes that the November Segwit2x fork won't occur, or that it will be "weaker" and less dangerous than some feared (including me)
- some buys for "free coins", but related more to S2x than to BTG,
- and finally, the market wants to re-test the $5000 high, as it's already very close.

There is no specific time when the hardfork will going. But in this month will be there stay tuned.

I don't think if Bitcoin gold will succesfully and i do not even know if BCC is succesfully too. Mostly people are only interested with Bitcoin. So both coin just clone of BTC.

Not really a clone, they will be using a different algo, equihash, just like Zcash.
So Bitcoin Gold will be even more decentralised, as in the common people will be able to mine with their GPU's again, so it won't be controlled by the mining farms (asics) like with Bitcoin Core.

Well I have not experienced the BCC hard fork because I joined this forum Aug. I have read about it when I am starting to learn how this forum works.
The upcoming fork is the first fork that I will be experiencing.
As I have read BCC failed to gain popularity. It was already dying when it was released. I think that the fork approaching will be the same.

13 days left.

this is my 2nd fork.
what i did learn:

when you hear about the fork, do not sell all other coins to move your money in the coin that forks.
like here with btc, many people did and almost all alts went down.
so you make about 30% loss to maybe get 10% with the fork?
i know many people lost their money that way...

I think you are right, I will buy to the currency before the fork, and then wait for split ends after selling, get more legal tender, and BTC cash also have shown that it is not how, people will buy the currency instead of the BTC cash! This is just one way for most people to earn extra income, and for investors who regularly invest in bitcoins, this is another windfall from BTC cash.

It's pretty good thing to have more BTC before the fork done so that we can get more bitcoin gold as return and we might gonna earn huge just like wit BCC where the value of it per piece is expensive. And expect for the bitcoins to get rage since many people are holding and price might go pump hard since I believe there's no people thinking upon selling there hodl coin just because of the bitcoin gold.

is it true bitcoin will split into two more? because it is hardfork october this?
hopefully the price can skyrocket: D

it's true, people who hold bitcoin before a snapshot taken from the bitcoin blockchain will probably receive bitcoin gold in 1:1 ration since the supply is as the same as bitcoin.
its also one of many factors why bitcoin price right now pumps a lot.

Yes, unfortunately it is this and only this pushes the price up. I think after the hard fork bitcoin price fall again because people will no longer need to hold bitcoin.

There are already many SHA256 coins and bitcoin forks. I don't think this new forked coin would attract the interest of any miners. Though initially some may jump for low difficulty.

Oh well, as we can see bitcoin price is flying to the moon because everyone wants to hold bitcoin before the hard fork happens and get a free money (bitcoin gold) just like what happened with bitcoin cash. I'll expect that after this bull run people will migrate again to altcoins and we can see the market green again.

True another cycle for free coin or cash.
This is just another big mistake and dont know how do they allow in the first place and everything started with bitcoin cash, now gold. Next would be platinum or eternity or something like this. For how long will this be, well until someone is say this is enough now. But if there free coins to receive everybody will love this.

I think Bitcoin gold was created to suppress the increasingly unstoppable price of BITCOIN,
we know if the Bitcoin price keeps increasing up to 10% in this month alone,
so do not panic when hardfork happens..

So what exchanges are going to trade and give you bitcoin gold? It needs support. I mean we haven't even seen coinbase give out its bitcoincash yet have we? Now we have another hard fork?

I think the number of exchanges announcing they will support it from the start is a good way to determine the anticipated value of the coin, but I don't see any at all right now. Am I missing something?

Nope.

Here is the official website for Bitcoin Gold: http://btcgpu.org/

A lot of would-be BTG dumpers are going to be disappointed.

how many fork there will be? another marketing operation with no really value

How long after the fork can I sell my BTC and still receice Bitcoin Gold eventually?
1 block? 1 second 1 minute? 1 hour?
And will BTC be available for trading on exchanges immediately after the fork or it will be some time period (maybe minutes) in which you can't trade BTC?

In case there is a sell-off just after the fork, I want to be amongst the first ones to sell and get ahead of the market.
(I have a few hundred $ in BTC, so no fud here.)

It would probably be the same as bitcoin cash. I'm not really too excited about it though so i'm just one of the people waiting on the sidelines for this hardfork to pass

It looks like some people are expecting the same price action to happen as when Bitcoin Cash forked. I think the market never does exactly the same thing twice, so we may see very different price action this time, perhaps even negative and catching people unaware.

Yeah, people just look to the last similar situation and assume the same results with no regard for market cycles or other fundamental factors. Last time around, I don't think Bitcoin Cash had much effect on the market. The BIP91 signalling and lock-in ended market uncertainty around the potential BIP148/UASF chain split, and the market rallied accordingly. Bitcoin Cash just rode the coattails of that rally.

So in that sense, I don't think Bitcoin Cash serves as precedent at all. It could go either way. All I know is that Bitcoin Gold doesn't have nearly the support from big companies/personalities that Bitcoin Cash had (Bitmain, Bitpay, Roger Ver, John McAfee). And they also don't have a working wallet yet, nor have exchanges said a word about it. So I suspect Bitcoin Gold will be much, much smaller than BCH.

Support this. Also would like to add that I personally dont expect nothing from this and think it will be scam in the end. For BCH we had good preparation but for this I dont see anything except the word bitcoin gold. No big news just some rumor, with this i suspect that it will end up like big scam and many will lose coins if they invest in this.

Many rush to buy bitcoin cuz they expecting to see same free coins like with bitcoin cash but dont think it will happen any time soon or will happen at all.

who does not want to get a free snapshot without buying Bitcoingold? Many people buy bitcoin because of that, do not be too complicated to predict the coin will be better and stable than anything, because the volume that he got in the first month will prove a worthy and very profitable price portion. Support can not be done before seeing the birth first.

when in october launch Bitcoin Gold were so excited about this...  ;D ;D ;D

What you said is right , everyone wants the free bitcoins and about the acceptance , their are some exchanges like yobit , who have given information of accepting the Bitcoin Gold and they are ready to support it.

Well, what do you know - the website is actually a website instead of a blank page now: http://btcgpu.org/.  And they list HitBTC, Bitstar and Yobit (exchanges), so maybe there will be a way to sell your BTG after all. I guess maybe this thing is real after all (I was having my doubts).

I have some BTC in a Trezor for long term storage and some on Bittrex to trade with. Should I leave my BTC on Bittrex during the fork? Or would it be safer to transfer it to the Trezor in order to claim the BTC Gold?

Thanks!

If you leave them on Bittrex then you are at the mercy of their eventual decision…

This is a good video on “Bitcoin Hard Forks - What To Do” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn5ZNwPWhEc

Great vid. Thanks!

I'll be moving it all to the Trezor. The only thing, does anyone know if Trezor will be supporting both chains (both for BTC Gold and 2x)?

I do not exactly know what is going to happen but I am expecting bitcoin to rise up more in the price after bitcoin gold is launched. Some people think that it can be a scam and maybe it will also be like bitcoin cash. What I am focusing is that will people sell out bitcoin for it or not. If there will be selling out, bitcoin will reduce in the price and again take few weeks to gain value.

True many rushed to but bitcoin cuz they expect and it probably gonna be like that that how much bitcoin you have you will get bitcoin gold in same amount like with bitcoin cash. Ok some expect to see this happening smoothly but i have doubts that it will not be like bitcoin cash. For support that is something different we dont have anything to support except the name.

My thinking is that if there is buying demand (bids) which enable BTC holders to claim this free money, that means BTG is diverting investment away from Bitcoin. Just like any altcoin, really.

I highly doubt this will be like Bitcoin Cash. That launch, rushed as it was, had a lot of hype, working full node/lite node wallets, Bitmain (hashpower), Bitpay and folks like Roger Ver and Craig Wright. It also naturally inherited most of the Bitcoin Unlimited supporters.

Bitcoin Gold has none of that. No wallet available yet, no replay protection ready yet. And worst of all, the developers have announced they will be pre-mining the chain after the fork occurs and before the blockchain is public.

bitcoin cash was a mistake and bitcoin gold will be too. But the one and only true BITCOIN will soar and smite thy enemies :P

Which means these kind of forks isnt really interesting at all and i do agree on what you have said this fork isnt really like the same on Bitcoin cash on where we do really see the hype when it was still coming but now on Bitcoin gold seems like there no upcoming fork because theres no such buzz regarding on this one or somehow people are anticipating for the November fork instead.

There will be bitcoin gold and bitcoin segwit2x in November, hard fork drama will last long time, it is negative to altcoin's price. I am holding alt and never sold one. Btcg is nothing.

Will this btg be a failure or not? we don't know that yet.
For now we can call this ez money :D ( I hope the price of btc wont drop :'( )

I think the price of BTC will grow up to rigid forks in November (B2X) because people want to get more bitcoin gold and 2x bitcoin after the fork.But these hard plugs wont be successful. I think BCC, BTG and B2X shit coins.

So far, bittrex have not stated their support yet concerning the BCG but we still have about 6 days for any decision to be made. However, if you do not want to gamble it, it is best you just move all your funds to Trezor since you have one. It is not even proper leaving your funds in exchanges anyway.

Looking at the turn of events during the last fork though, and if bittrex states their support, then I see no reason why you should not, since they seem reliable at least for now. But remember that, time is running pretty fast.

It's simple. Many people will dump their Bgold as soon as they got it for BTC or for other altcoins.
As this is another hardfork of Bitcoin keep in mind that all the BTC whales will have this coin as well.
So imo, whatever you may think about this coin, scam or not, I can assure the big guys will play with it.Which means this thing will see some pump and dump plays! So if you're smart, try no to sell the bottom! ;)

Premain
As of October 19th, BTG (github.com/BTCGPU) includes 8,000 Blocks of Premain (mining monopoly in closed environment). Because premain is not fair distribution, minor can monopolize profits, so its importance is often debated.
Equihash PoW code is not completed
BTG is a virtual currency that proclaims that it can be mined with CPU / GPU, but as of October 19, transition to Equihash PoW has not been completed. We are planning to carry out unit tests and regression tests from now on, but there is no time left until the scheduled date.
Replay attack protection is not done
On September 29, replay attack protection by SIGHASH_FORKID used in Bitcoin Cash has been proposed, but as of October 19, introduction consideration has not been done. When doing a hard fork on the premise of branching, replay attack protection must be explicitly done. If replay attack protection is not done, using a branched coin may unexpectedly send the other coin at the same time and lose assets.
Possibility of rescheduling
Initially, BTG planned an ICO planning to conduct a premain of 16,000 blocks (200,000 BTG) on August 31 and sell it at a price of 10 BTG = 1 BTC, but we are reviewing the plan.

its really an amazing moves  with bitcoin holders they wanted to have more free money like what happen with bcc looking forward to see
what would be the value of this new coin after the fork.

What wallet is it safe to secure that you get your bitcoin gold after the hard fork? There's a lot of suggestions and there are tons of bitcoin wallets that have private key. Is it also okay to just keep your bitcoin on major exchanger like bitrrex? Can anyone suggest where is it best to keep your bitcoin before the fork?

The best to keep your Bitcoin is always on your wallet, with private keys you own.

This is a very interesting indeed as what Bitcoin Gold developers Team promised as it is better than an earlier fork Bitcoin Cash. I might invest with this promising alt coin in the future.

A good question that needs good answer that we need a secure wallet that holds Bitcoin and its hard forks in one wallet or can be managed within a single phone app.

Unfortunately it's not a surprise to see more Bitcoin spin-off altcoins after BCash set the precedent. The release of new altcoins via the "split-mechanism" has a better chance of "success" (meaning a fraction of Bitcoin's value being temporarily sucked up by the altcoin) than releasing those trashcoins the traditional way. Marketing is virtually free (for now).

Of course this is not a good development. Because it increases confusion regarding the original Bitcoin and may also have dangerous implications during the split-off period - especially when there's no replay protection.

It might be like Bitcoin Money. Be that as it may, possibly it will really fall in cost and there might be no support here. It's quite recently in view of my sentiment. Since there will be a moment split and the general population will have free cash. So regardless of what the bitcoins happen are bitcoins and remain no 1. Since those split are simply altcoins. We can not state it, Let it run and run with it. Furthermore, simply let the time make a move

Do you really consider Bitcoin Cash as successful? Yes it's still alive and has a high market capitalization, but what it needs is time to prove itself that it can stay at the range (and probably appreciate in value). Bitcoin gold will have the same fate in my opinion. Any coin who altering from the core developers path will not be able to catch up with the orginal, that is Bitcoin. If you want to focus on other coins just have a look at all the ALTS available right now, there are so many great ideas and so much to choose from. You can find a coin for any industry you're interested in and find different applications depending on the product/service. My suggestion to you would be to stick to Bitcoin and invest your money in Alts that already exist in the market and have proven themselves. Don't risk your hard earned cash.

I do not understand who needs bitkoyn gold? This is ordinary garbage. Now everyone is working to buy bitcoins, they buy very expensive, but I think it's very stupid. Large players simply sell ​​their bitcoins so that they can buy twice as cheaply after hard fork. I think that big players manipulate these stupid players with such tools and thereby earn to them

Eventually, so many wallets will come up for it. I had my doubts too when there was no single update on their page until few days ago.

Although, only a single wallet for now, but chances are that we will have more. The exchanges though, are not the sort of exchanges I will want to leave my funds, so that is a NO NO. Days are getting closer and they have already stated the block they will fork, so we just wait and see how events turn out to be.

ho really it is good. now a days most of the people very interested to buy bit coins. next in the future bit coin gold coming means i'm very happy. because only bit coin we can't touch but bit coin gold we may touch. so i'm very happy to use this.if really it comes in true i'm very happy to take this. present i'm trying to take it. already i have to using bit coin so i'm huge interested to use bit coin gold.

Yes i thing bitcoin gold will be successful like as bitcoin and bitcoin cash. But I've a little doubt is that,  after lunching bitcoin gold maybe the price of bitcoin will go down for some days cause of course people would like to investment with new bitcoin gold in lieu of bitcoin...

Bitcoin gold is not gold! Bitcoin gold is trash! So also is bitcoin cash. All this fork is creating uncertainty! Nobody wants them. Bitcoin should be devleloping instead of these distractions. If devolopers creating clones all around the place will spend the same of effort been wasted on clone on bitcoin, bitcoin scalling issue would have been forgotten!

Received mail from yobit that they will start trading in 70 hours. So my estimate is that they have something prepared for this but dont really trust them.
Search a little for anything else but think that there are some information on official site from bitcoin gold.

Bitcoin gold isnt nothing else then an airdrop to the big holders of bitcoin, where the big supporters should sell it or try to do the same as the other fork, mining profitable for a while and then return to bitcoin, this forks arent good for bitcoin, because does moove interest...as well investment, but its pretty clear there is only one bitcoin, and well November i do expect no more forks will happen with bitcoin.

The new plug will be held in two days, as a result of which the birth of a new bitcoin gold coin is planned, and it is already heavily traded on the Yobit bicle for $ 460. To this end, the exchange closed the entrance and exit for bitcoins, which were on the exchange and distributed to its customers for each complete bitcoin a new bitcoin gold, independently setting the above price. How to evaluate these actions of the exchange?

Another free money for those who are holding large amount of bitcoin. Whatever what fork they do, I don't think that there's something that can replace bitcoin. People are just waiting for another round of airdrop.

You are right. But since it offers a free coin, I see no reason why no one will embrace it. All this forks will just be affecting the immutability of bitcoin if they keep happening. Like you said though, everyone obviously is set to dump their coins immediately on arrival, so it is whoever dumps first that will take the lion share.

Time will pass and we can make conclusions

Bitcoin Gold snapshot block is live - how much did you get?
Currently BTG is around 0.04 BTC completely free money.

Now is much less, must say that this is something that i expected to see. Didnt expect to see another big boom like with cash to be happen here as well.
But in the end it will be evry free money is good money, maybe not as many hope to be but i didnt expected to see him hit 100 dollars at all, but he is good at the moment with around 0.026 btc for one btg.
