Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys, maybe it is silly question but does anyone know for sure will there be Bitcoin Gold coins even for people with less than 1 BTC in wallet with private key?

yes

You will receive Bitcoin Gold even if you have 1 satoshi BTC. :D

Looked into Bitcoin Gold official website http://btcgpu.rapiddevcrew.com/faq/ (http://btcgpu.rapiddevcrew.com/faq/), and all they say is about people with 1 BTC or more, and noone is saying anything about people with less than 1 BTC.

It should be something like what you said. The owner will distribute it.
Unfortunately, I don't have one. If you have hope, you can hold it. You can double the coin.

Nope, it doesn't say anything of the sort. It just says that if you have 1 BTC, you will get 1 BTG. If you have 0.00000001, you will get 0.00000001 BTG. This is just because at the point of the fork, you have exactly the same amount of coins on either chains. Think of it as a copy, up until the point, before they move on along their own individual chains.

So, don't fret. You have BTC, you will get BTG.

the owner doesn't distribute it, this is not a crappy ETH ICO to distribute. it is a crappy fork from bitcoin. you have to claim it yourself with the private keys of your bitcoin wallet that contain "ANY" amount of bitcoin in them.

although, considering the price and network fees, small amounts wouldn't make any sense to bother claiming them.

ps. do NOT click on any link that is not BTCGPU.org, i have seen a lot of weird websites calling themselves "official" bitcoin gold website but they have been all scams.

Hehe ;)

Yes, I think it is just the same as Bitcoin Cash. Any amount in bitcoin you have on your wallet during the fork, you'll get the same value in your wallet in Bitcoin Gold. Doesn't really matter if you only have like 10 satoshi in your wallet.

Nice piece of advice, I am sick of all these scam websites  >:(

waiting for the Drop!!!

You will just get the exact same amount of 'Bitcoin' Gold as BTC

You will get your bitcoin gold based on your bitcoin amount, but you will still get your bitcoin gold even your bitcoin less than a bitcoin in your wallet. Just like bitcoin cash.
It is posibble to get bitcoin gold.

BTG is not an altcoin.Its a clone of bitcoin tried to be created by hard forking.So obviously,you will be getting exactly the amount of bitcoins you have in your wallet,even it is in satoshis.

But till now,no exchanges or wallets have announced that they would support BTG.Also,there is no miner support for BTG and it has to be mined only with GPU.So,we don't know exactly that how many days that it could survive.

But there is a huge curiosity among bitcoin holders that they may get some free BTG coins due to free air drops.

Thanks for this reminder, maybe anyone with bad intentions making such claim and fooling others for depositing they’re bitcoin on they’re scam sites and it’s really annoying sometimes. Hope no one will take the bait and do unnecessary things other than to the legitimate bitcoin gold site.

I don’t have much of bitcoin so, thinking about bitcoinGold much is not my interest but to spread scammy attempts must be our responsibility.

Yes, a chain split means that whatever you have on one chain (bitcoin) will be replicated on the other chain (bitcoin gold). At the time of the fork, both chains will be identical, it's only at and after the fork that they will diverge.

No Miner support
Not much of support by exchanges either
These two reasons are more than enough to know that BTG will just be a disaster. One thing is for sure is that there will be no buyers for BTG.
There will be a lot of people selling it and very less buyers which mean that its price is going to drop drastically.  In such case, the late sellers are going to get almost nothing out of their free coins.

Yes that is true but it will not worth anything for sure. I don't understand people selling altcoins for even less than 1 btc. 1 btc gold will not worth huge money.

yeah, I have the same opinion, that bitcoin gold will be obtained regardless of the amount of bitcoin owned. but it depends on the wallet where the bitcoin is stored, it does not have to have a private key, wallet exchanger can, as long as the exchanger is ready to fork I think. but this just personal opinion

Yes anyone with few satoshi can also get bitcoin gold after hard fork just like how they got bitcoincash on last august's hard fork.
But moving bitcoin gold or whatever forked coin you will get might require few additional amount to cover fees.  ;D

What if you store your btc in an Exodus wallet. If you get also goldies for free? Since I have read nothing
What does the expert say?

You will get bitcoin regardless of the amount you have.

What you have to worry about is where you keep it. The best way to ensure you get this "free money" is to keep it in a wallet where you have access to the private key. As long as you have this private key, you will be able to access your bitcoin gold in the future.

yea I'm sure because I got BCH before on my 2nd wallet which contains only a little amount of bitcoin. But Im not sure Bitcoin gold is good for hold long term.

A lot of people here are saying yes. Perhaps it is exactly the same with the case of Bitcoin Cash. But you need to be careful because not all wallets and exchange platforms are committing to give the same amount of bitcoin gold to your existing bitcoin. I heard Kraken will be giving away the same amount of bitcoin gold with your bitcoin.

Technically it will simply be copying the Bitcoin chain. With the copying of all balance information, wallets and private keys.

BTC is a unit with the smallest divible is satoshi. So 1 BTC = 1000000 sBTS

I really need to know where you will have the BTC to get equal BTG ? Is it only if you have any BTC in your Blockchain.info accoun or even if you have in any exchanger.Please I need to know.

In my opinion what will happen is the same in bitcoin cash. you will get the same amount of coin. The reason why some wallet platforms agrees with the fork is because they doesnt share the bitcoin cash or bitcoin gold so make sure to transfer your btc to a wallet with a private key for you to get your free money.

Yes , ofcourse every amount holding guys will get the same amount of bitcoin gold that he has in amount of bitcoin .
Here you can see this thing with the example of the bitcoin cash where everyone got the bitcoin cash who has Thier bitcoin in the adresse containing private key ( in the wallet owner ) . So don't get any tension and be ready to get bitcoin gold .
But here my suggestion for you to get your bitcoin gold simply is to put your bitcoin at the yobit exchange , I know yobit is not a official place by the bitcoin team to put bitcoin but still I would like to recommend you to put thier Because you can see in the past that people got bitcoin cash without any much tension directly and easily to do nothing but at another platform people needed to wait long term and few of them didn't gave yet any amount of bitcoin cash .

there will, but dont bother. btc gold will not be worth more than 1-2 dollars once you get the coins extracted and put on an exchange.
I'm not gonna bother, and will let my btc gold rot

What wallet do you use to keep bitcoins ?

You technically should be getting and you also claim that you have the private key to your wallet, shouldn't be much of an issue. You will be getting bitcoin gold after the hardfork this month. Don't confuse yourself very much, you will get into a mental dilemma. Be happy and enjoy your free money you will be getting.

blockchain.info

not sure if they will give em fast enough though

lots of posts on reddit about BTG is a scam, what do u think?

Exodus wallet is a decentralised wallet and it gives you access to your private keys. However, in the last fork and with the help of shapeshift, they were able to let users get their BCC without having to use the private key, knowing most people or newbies may end up messing up and loosing all their assets in the process which made it for everyone to have their BCC in their BCC wallet without stress. If your funds are in exodus wallet, then you are on the right track whichever way.

since blockchain.info does not control your private keys, they can not give you your BTG, you need to claim it yourself. there is a recovery phrase in blockchain.info which is like your seed, you can use that to get your private keys. (not sure about the details since i don't use it but it is possible).

BTG is not exactly a scam but not exactly a good for either. it is forking from bitcoin which makes it already bad since it is not from scratch. and also it has a premine which makes it even worse.

the bitcoin is for everyone who are holding bitcoins just like what happened last time in segwit that give bitcoin cash to bitcoin holder. It doesnt matter if you have 100+ bitcoin or only have 1 satoshi. You will get the same amount of bitcoin you have to bitcoin gold. Just always keep your private key :D

Anyone got an idea on what the value will be?

Some people advise me to keep bitcoin in electrum wallet and Some people advise me to keep bitcoin in bloclchain.info or bitcoin.com
i'm confused and do not know where to start

noone can tell u mate, but looking at the last fork it spiked 1st day, i would sell 1st day if had any
stuck in alts unfortunately :(

Hitbtc announces that every users who hold BTC will earn the same value of btc. It is a big airdrop of free money. I think everyone wants to earn free gift from the btc gold developers. What's the price of BTC gold? if the prices is similar to BCH, it will be much cash I will earn from this airdrop. Actually, I like to get the free money not support BTC gold. I never support BTC gold like BCH. I don't even have BCH wallet, and I think it will not valuable " for me" to hold btc gold.

Yes absoltely there will be. Its a copy of the existing ledger. That includes everything down to the 16th decimal place.

Relax. You will get your BTG's

Does anyone knows an online bitcoin wallet that you have its private key? like myetherwallet? So that i can gain BTG, currently i'm only using an online bitcoin wallet but the company protect the private key.

It does not matter how little you have,  you will receive the exact same amount of bitcoin gold, the same as what happened last time with bitcoin cash.

Yes you will get bitcoin gold for the amount you are having bitcoins in your wallets..That may be 1satoshi or 1btc, you will get the same for that. But you will not get bitcoin gold in any exchange wallet. keep this thing in mind. If you habe some bitcoin amount in exchange wallets then withdraw it to your other wallets.you will get the same amount as you will be having of bitcoins.

Thats good as there are exchanges that will not give BTG or will not support it. But I think this is another same as  BCSH, but it will be supported by many who owns it. Dev will become instant wealthy here.

yeah, when bitcoin fork is born bitcoincash in blockchain.info I am not get bitcoincash, whereas in wallet exchanger i got it.

I really think that if ever you have bitcoin you will get bitcoin gold too. I think it's better if you will look on any updates about bitcoin gold. It would  be great if you're holding a lot of bitcoin, you can have more bitcoin gold too.

Bitcoin gold is for those who have bitcoin in their wallet! Even exchange wallet! Of course some exchange might not release it because they 've already warned their customers'  Many major exchanges are not supporting bitcoin gold! But you can keep your coin , it may worthy a lot someday!

it depends on the exchange wallet you are using, there are some exchanger that supports the bitcoin gold but some of them got backout maybe because of the segwit2x issue and the sanction imposed by the bitcoin foundation, much better ask from support group on the exchange platform where your btc wallet was stored for clarifications.

Of course, you will receive a bitcoin gold in such quantities as you have it bitcoin to hard fork.

So no bitcoins gold if you keep your coins in an exchange?

1:1

The trouble begins when you wanna dump those, getting at least 0.00000001 BTC for them.
Next month's forks: Bitcoin Platinum, Bitcoin Adamantium, Bitcoin URO

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.

Was wondering the same thing, but now I'm sure you'll get btg with the same amount of your btc :D

I will sell this right after I get it like I did with Bitcoin Cash. I made a lot more BTC that way

I have the more interesting question: whether there will be enough people willing to buy it

is there any information, which exchanger is ready for the fork and will add bitcoingold to the member's wallet? how about bittrex?

there is a strange today, before fork BTC prices are getting up.
is this a result of BTC demand rising? and everyone wants BTG to get into their wallets for free.
I am not sure. ;D

Bitcoin Gold coin as a free gift will be received by everyone who, on October 25, that is, on the day of the fork, will have in his wallet any amount in bitcoins. And the new coin will be exactly as much as there is bitcoin. So it remains to wait for this next fork of bitcoin.

bitcoin gold's amonut depand on how many bitcoin you have in your wallet  for example
if you have 0.000001bitcoin you will have 0.000001 bitcoin gold

their amount are the same .

I am not sure about bitcoin gold fork but b2x  for the November segwit2x fork one of the largest exchange hitbtc already announced support and it will be tradble in their exchange. Also people will get b2x for the bitcoin holding in hitbtc at the time of fork.

It depends on the amount that you have that is considered less than 1 BTC, it does not necessarily have to be 1 satoshi, and moreover it is free money and even if it is not as worth as BTC, it is going to be something. So saying it won't be worth anything is not just right. Remember 1 BCC was worth something and at the moment worth $328. That is something for someone who got it free.

Yes, I think it would be same as Bitcoin Cash.

It is free money indeed but you need to realize that for some big holders who still have a lot of btc in cold storage  it's not worth the 10% gain. I've seen people lose their bitcoin, bitcoin they were holding since 2013, because they used an unsafe wallet to claim their bitcoin cash. This is not worth it at all if you think about it.

Just transfer your BTC to a desktop wallet like Electrum if you are really worried. You basically get BTG as long as you hold the private key to your wallet.

As long as you have your coin in a wallet that gives you control of your private keys or a wallet that promises to give you the other side of the forked chain, and you have at least 1 satoshi before the fork, then yes, you will receive the equivalent of BCG.

The fork is a clone of the original blockchain and you will receive the same amount of coins in you BTG wallet.

hallo friends all, sorry i want to ask. anyone knows, when will bittrex hold a bitcoin hardfork? My wallet has not gotten bitcoingold, I heard in another exchanger already there is getting bitcoingold

It's in the ratio of 1:1

So for every 0.0001btc of btc. You get  0.0001btg
