Has the Bitcoin Gold blockchain officially come online yet??? I want to get them and sell them. Seems like we're getting scammed!!!

What wallet do you used to stored your bitcoin during the hard fork? Most of wallet still don't support bitcoin gold right now and only some exchange allows trading of BTG. How come do you conclude that you have been scam? There is no investment involve during the hard fork except for hodl.

what happen with that statement? what do means scam???
stop say something u dont know, i think u sholud learn more about BTG

I have a ledger wallet

BITCOIN GOLD is something like airdrop.  It is not scam.
Because you have not been yet ready, you should wait.

I think you didnt read all the details needed on BitcoinGold aridrop  :-\ , the first question is what wallet you use ?  because you must put your bitcoin to the wallet that will support the bitcoin gold when it released, second is how did you say that youve been scammed ? i have 245 satoshi on one of my trading platform who support bitcoin gold and i received bitcoin gold in that small amount of satoshi? i guess you really did not read all details before the fork.

Here is my proof

It's not real.  Here's my proof:

Bitcoin Gold ceasing to gain traction in the market isn't a scam, it's the free market at work.

It's hilarious how angry people can get over something they're getting for free, didn't have to do anything to acquire, and don't have any genuine control over it's creation.

only those who held their bitcoin on exchanges received this new altcoin called bitcoin gold. and because of that they were able to get the highest price possible to date for selling it. the rest who didn't do that have to wait until the code is released and the chain starts.

I think it should be any day now. they have implemented replay protection already (a couple of days ago) but I believe the mining algorithm still needs work.

remember to always follow their official website. btcgpu.org which I believe redirects to bitcoingold.org

Lol scammed? Fucking newbies I tell you.

K so do you know what a fork is? Did you know this has happened before? Did you know there where MANY unsuccessful forks in the past?

There's no wallet. There's no blockchain. It's pre-mined for crying out loud. Do you really think this is going to be worth anything at all? Also, who scammed you!? Technically you still have your shitcoin.

Omg. So delusional.

I agree with you

OP :Remember that we still associate the value of something with it's price, as BTC Gold is basically free, it's associated value for most folks will be very low, and it will lose it's market share

Bitcoin Gold is not ready yet, the mainnet isn't ready, still in test.

You can follow the progress in the oficial site, last news at this moment: https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-daily-update-network-stable/

Some exchanges are trading btg like tokens, just it, no way to withdraw or deposit btg yet.

Indeed.  But people on bitcointalk tend to be knuckle draggers anyway, who'll
complain about anything up to and including coins that are basically handed out for
free.  And all this, mind you, without even researching how it is they're supposed to
claim this free stuff.  The mindset among some of these...people...is unfathomable at
times.  And these fork coins are most likely going to turn out to be duds, each and
every one of them, but they're free!  There's nothing to complain about.  Just figure
out how you're going to claim them and do whatever you like with them.

I would suggest waiting until after the initial selloff, which is bound to happen. 
Bitcoin gold will probably be crap from the get go, but the segwit one might gain some
traction.

if you have account in yobit and you have bitcoin balance in your account then you can get bitcoin gold with the same amount of your bitcoin. i don't know for other exchanges and i think if they are support bitcoin gold, they will distribute the free coins to their members and i think the other offline wallet or android wallet will give free bitcoin gold too. i think we need to be patience for this and its better to waiting for the next news so we can know how to claim the bitcoin gold.

Wait for official bitcoin gold wallet. I dont know when they will announce that official wallet but when they release it everybody will sell their bitcoin gold and its gonna go down. So you should be quick. Follow their twitter account.

Too much exploitation in this coin, I think they need a lot of funds from investors! it's better they run ICO, instead than making something that doesn't work  :'(

why you worry about this shitcoin? the shit dev team is premining it now, until they are happy they won't release the software, and when they do relrease, they will dump their premine first

Does electrum support bitcoin gold? Will it be possible to claim bitcoin gold with electrum like bitcoin cash.
Will there be a guide on how to extract bitcoin gold from seeds in electrum wallet? Any official word on it?

And if a wallet does not support a hard fork, there is no way to claim the new coin?

If you are a private key holder as you are in this case you need to wait for a quite long time to get your btg. Because there is no bitcoin gold wallet or API until now where you can hold btg. Once they will come up with a interface only then you would be able to claim your btg by entering your btc wallet private key.

I did decide to hold my bitcoins at yobit.net at they day of fork and fortunately yobit is the first exchange that made bitcoin gold available for withdraw on same day.
At present, there is no other exchange where you can sell or buy bitcoin gold.
Your bitcoin gold is safe with your wallet provider, just keep patience some more days.

BTG is neither a scam,nor bitcoin.Its got just as an air drop due to hard fork.Most of exchanges do not support it.It could be just traded and could not be sent and received since mining process has not started.The developers said that mining algorithm would be changed so that BTG could be mined even with GPU systems.But still no announcement.

I advice you that if you have BTG coins,then just dump them as soon as possible.Just the name BTG carries gold and its really worth nothing.

your post was not informative and we don't know how or what happens to you and your coins..
if you will give the reason and what maybe we can help you or the wallet you store the bitcoin gold

First i dont know why my proof image show an error like that ( could you teach me how to do the proper inserting of the image in the post/reply now i will try to use other site in uploading an image ), I dont know why you guys didnt receive bitcoin gold but i guess were using a same platform (bitgrail) it support the bitcoin gold , for me if you really using the same platform as mine try to contact the admin there because some of my friends also who are using the same platform we all received the free bitcoin gold from airdrop.

once again i hope it will work now

Some haven't got bitcoin gold also. What could be the possible wallet of yours during the fork? Well, supporting forks is not my fond. Might take my bitcoins away if I do that.

Where is my bitcoin gold? Oh! I forgot that I don’t have bitcoin on the fork day. My bad I don’t support bitcoin gold as I don’t really needed shitcoins in my wallet. This is something annoying that someone is complaining for not getting free coin that might be just nothing significantly valuable after all. Be patience enough especially in this kind of free coin because the reason it’s free is for you to wait.

Me also i do not yet received my bitcoin gold, but my online bitcoin wallet was announce that the amount of bitcoin keep in our wallet during the fork we alro received same value of bitcoin gold and until now they do not yet distribute our bitcoin gold.

Bitcoin Gold is run by scammers so lame that they cannot scam people into their premined coin properly.

 Oh I was just being an idiot.  I photoshop'd (Gimp'd actually) your image to make it show all zeros.
My point is, you've received tokens which represent Bitcoin Gold and they can only be traded on the exchange where you got them. You cannot move them to OR from this exchange because there is no wallet yet; it is still in the testing phase.

 Also, you can't post images until you reach the rank of Jr Member.  Well, you can post them but they wont display until you reach that rank.

Where's my free stuff !!!

It's not live, it's pretty poorly run with no wallet and late fix on replay protection (though maybe its good you cant trade until that's ready?).  It's not a scam any more than every alt coin, you take it or leave it.

Just wait it is soon going to be credited to you they recently added relay protection to it which gives it privacy or soemthing and all the major exchanges and wallets including coinbase have told that once this is added they will list the coin and credit it's users

No it is not a scam, You'll get it on nov. 15 i guess. That's the date of the fork right ? Maybe they are still checking the reliability and the strength of bitcoin gold before distribution.

How you can withdraw BTG if theres no wallet? You can only change to money or another coin and withdraw. Cant withdraw btg if self.

You are not fooled, everyone enough to be able to receive  bitcoin gold unless you have stored your bitcoin in a wallet that does not support the bitcoin gold event.

That's correct. BTG will be credited to users who had money on those exchanges at the time of the fork. I had my BTG futures on yobit, sold them and withdrew the coins. I actually managed to sell them for 0.08BTC and it was not long before another BTC pump so I'm very happy with that. I also had some coins on Poloniex and Bittrex so these two should credit my BTG at some point, but if they don't it won't be too much of a loss. Losing something you never had doesn't hurt.

Look below the red box. 8000 blocks of premine * 12.5 coins = 100,000 premine for the scammer to dump on anyone daft enough to buy them.

I had no idea it was actually possible to sell your futures of Bitcoin Gold... they were fricking way higher than the real opening price, which crashed the day before the official launch... if only we knew, we would have made A LOT more dough. Oh wellz. Thank you for your post by the way, I know you did not mean to but you helped me learn to keep BTC on Yobit before such forks to get my free airdrops. :)

It's not the first time Yobit did that. They credited Bitcoin Cash very early as well. Some people are saying it's because they're greedy and want to lure in as many people as possible and holding money there before the fork is risky because you're risking Bitcoins worth thousands of USD each to get something that's not going to be worth more than a couple hundred USD.

ohh that's why thank you, back to the topic I contacted all my friends who have bitcoin gold and like you they pissed off also because they said that its look like that it will stucked there  forever (they really invested some bitcoin there to have bitcoin gold) unlike the BCH before we easily transfer it from one to another wallet. I already tell to them what you said and now their trying to trade it because it really impossible  to transfer it now.

uhhh I am far from a newbie. I have been involved with btc since 2014
