Title: Bitcoin gold dev found out to be a Chinese script kid hacker
Post by: GetRichQuicker on October 26, 2017, 09:07:50 AM

The bitcoin gold BTG Lead Developer:h4x3rotab found out to be a 24y script kid hacker who cracked and sold weak user passwords on a fourm without captcha enabled.

Details in Chinese: https://steemit.com/cn/@quantum-bug/btg-h4x3rotab

His profile photo on a online dating site: https://image.ibb.co/fhcoO6/n_s11850371342093335.jpg

So now it can be 100% confirmed that bitcoin gold BTG is a completely & purely Chinese pre-mined ico scam.

I wouldn't be surprised as Chinese would get the most from these poorly planned forks and dumps.
Bitcoincash was a planned Chinese fork while bitcoingold from it's initial stage was sure to be a kids project.

Who cares about BTG anyway. It's something we got free, just dump it and get some free btc with it. I would never buy any btg, but if it's free il'l have some. the next fork will be much better!

No, I don't think this is right. The guy is purporting to be a BTG Lead Developer. It is not 100% confirmed, until we see a statement from Bitcoin Gold website. Maybe there is some truth there, but there's usually a lot more to the story than what we're led to believe. P.S. There is a lot of guys trying that trick on this forum. It's a simple copy paste script. Hardly think people like that would deserve to be lead developers of a Bitcoin fork.

This bit of news is uncertain as of the moment unless btg will have an official statement regarding this case or without sufficient proof. Even if that is the case, who cares? People just got btg for free anyway because of him forking btc into bitcoin gold. He helped a lot of crypto users holding bitcoin to get another free money from fork. I feel bad for those who bought btg now because if the information provided on this thread is proven, those investors would have to say goodbye to their money and bag hold it for a very long time or forever.

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is due to fork from Bitcoin on block 491407 and all holders of Bitcoin can be credited an equal amount of BTG to their BTC. The new coin is being launched as a response to ASIC dominance.

Bitcoin Gold is the latest Bitcoin fork with the split occurring on Bitcoin block 491407. The coin is seen by the developers as a response to the ASIC driven monopoly of the main Bitcoin chain. As with the previous Bitcoin fork for Bitcoin Cash (BCH), as long as you are holding Bitcoin in your own software wallet when the split occurs you will automatically receive an equal amount in Bitcoin Gold (BTG).

Users with Bitcoin in hardware wallets or who have them on exchanges wishing to also receive BTG would need to check with their wallet manufacturer or exchange to find out if they plan to support Bitcoin Gold.

Bitcoin Hardware Wallets

In a recent blog post Trezor announced that although their devices support Bitcoin Gold, users won’t be able to do anything other than holding it. Users can choose to export their BTG, however, that is not a procedure they recommend. The coins will therefore not be available in the Trezor wallet.

Trezor’s main issue with BTG is that the code for it currently offers no replay protection, meaning that due to the nature of the chain split there is a potential to lose or transmit your Bitcoins rather than just your Bitcoin Gold. Their advice therefore would be to simply hold the BTG until replay protection is implemented by the BTG team.

The Trezor team states:

"Yes, TREZOR (the device) supports Bitcoin Gold. As previously mentioned, at the moment of the fork, if you have bitcoins on your TREZOR, you will also receive bitcoin gold on your TREZOR (both new and legacy accounts are supported in bitcoin gold). If you simply wish to hold BTC and BTG, there is no further action required from you."

Keepkey has announced that they too will be following the same measures as TREZOR by allowing the users of their hardware wallet to receive BTG but not immediately transact it. They advise users that if they require the immediate ability to move their BTG coins then they should, “relocate their Bitcoin prior to the October 25, 2017 deadline into a wallet that has confirmed support is already in place for this new asset.”

but, the questions is, why so many exchange and wallet service support this fork, ?
and will give BTG to Bitcoin holder

Post by: crazyfrog01 on October 26, 2017, 03:10:40 PM

If this is true, it's crazy lol But to be honest, all this forking is just insane and has just the purpose to raise the btc price and make some nice extra money with the fork coins.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems BTG will be just another normal alt coin.

On the other hand, really curious why it had a lot of press and was taken on by exchanges and wallets.

Any one who can shed a light on it?

Everything about btg looks good on the spec sheet. I mean, bitcoin gold is our dream come true.

They got segwit, gpu mining, no blocksize increase, no Bitmain, no Roger&Jihan&Craig, no drama, no bullshit.

On the paper, bitcoin gold is the ultimate crypto currency. The only thing btg doesn't have, is the dev team of bitcoin and that makes a real difference.

Like I said, only on the paper.

I don't know who the lead dev of btg is, I don't know if he is a scammer or not, I don't know if the btg team is after something bad... Even if they were after something bad, think about it, how bad can it be? They don't even share the same mining algo with bitcoin. They only took a snapshot of the bitcoin chain and started to build up their own chain from there.

Some say, they premined hundreds of coins before launch. Well, So did satoshi. As long as those coins don't move to manipulate the markets, there is nothing to worry. This is the only drawback of btg i can think of. (Other than not having a professional dev team like bitcoin core)

Anyway, You got your btg's for free. Don't like it? Dump it away!

Btg probably won't ever come near of bitcoin but I won't dump mine from these prices neither. I won't dump them for a few hundred bucks. Doesn't make sense.

P.S. I dumped my bcash as soon as I could. It was a different situation.

P.S.2. Would I buy any bitcoin gold coins from these prices? Probably not. Probably not even half of its current price. But this is because I don't buy altcoins at all. Not eth, not ltc, nothing. The only coin I am considering seriously other than bitcoin is Monero at the moment. Even then, I havent bought any xmr yet. ;)

It doesn't matter, BTG will be a gold mine for miners anyway, lmao. I promise I will mine the shit out from the beginning.

Exactly. BTG will be dumped by Bitcoiners, dumped by miners, dumped by the dev if he did premine.
It didn't start with the hype BCH had, so the starting price is already lower. So the first month(s) will be downside.

Then.. there's Bitcoin. And there are quite a number of alts trying to claim a spot high in the ranks. The competition is huge, so only good papers are not enough nowadays.
The few that believe in BTG (if any) will have tough days. But I still tend to believe that it's only a get rich quick scheme and in the not so far future it will struggle to stay on the markets.

I agree with that.
What if someone actually is innocent but gets blamed anyway.
And what if something bad happens to such a person.
Please look out for what we say and claim.
Real people can get endangered.

Damn op. This is a pretty big accusation.
I hope you did a lot of research about this and can provide any other proofs than this one. Because this thing you are dong can destroy the image of bitcon gold. Although i don't have it, i do not have anything against it. But given the proper evidences, i will also spread the news so everyone will know. But until you cam provide better proofs, i do not care. If you don't like bitcoin gold, get rid of it. But don't go spitting out crap about bitcoin gold if you don't have enough evidence.

Bitcoin gold developers cannot be trusted no matter what because they have come to the main picture out of nowhere and they expect people to support them and believe in their "promises". It's technically not a ico by any means,but the doubt on whether it's a scam or not is not yet proven with solid proof.

Post by: DustyRah on November 02, 2017, 08:15:08 PM

Anything started and run by Chinese will be crap and always will be crap mainly due to the controlled environment they are in. I had mentioned earlier on itself that the entire crypto currency world would be much better off without the Chinese involved. This is mainly due to the greedy and selfish attitude of Chinese mainly motivated through financial gains other than anything else. Its a dog eat dog world out there and they don't have the luxury to think about the well being of the humanity.

Even if people dump Bitcoin gold and so on, the group is quite clever and will accumulate a whole load of coins through BS such as pre-mining and so on and make off with a hefty profit and leave people with empty paper bags. They will themselves be the first to dump their coins and make off with untraceable Bitcoins.

I don't believe this news. It seems that is too easy to create a fork on the most important crypto coin of the world.

Wow this would be quite amusing if proven to be true!

It eludes me why anyone would invest in this currently at this stage although I'm curious if it might follow Bitcoincash's present trend upward soon or just get dumped severely once trading begins

Fascinating how this young man has so much knowledge that feels like he almost single-handedly managed to code all the necessary changes in BTG. The responsibility is immense. The whole worlds is looking at him now. There is a reason why all this is happening. We just don't know or will never know the full extent of this BTG endeavour.

@mindrust is right, if the project is good, and open-source, validated, etc, then who the founder is should not invalidate the project.

Still need confirmation on whether this story is true.

Is true? I highly doubt it because this could really damaged the reputation of the coin. Although it really gain enough traction from the community, news like this will really sunk this coin. And why would bitcoin gold team will really hire such kind of person to be part of their team? No need to create FUD on this coins, because it will die a natural death anyways, so let it be.

There is no way that I am going to believe anything that comes off here, and that went for the original claims that the wallet was out there too. it is simple that the majority of those that are involved with crypto are running on very little real information. The prices are moved based on such a small amount of real information that there is a miracle out there somewhere that the exchanges ever got off the ground.
A couple pics from the internet and some links are not enough to show me anything.
