Title: [ANN][BTG] Bitcoin Gold Launch – 12th November 2017 (7:00 PM UTC)
Post by: BitcoinGoldHQ on November 09, 2017, 06:51:54 PM
Hello miners and users!

We’re thrilled to announce a start date to the community:

November 12, 2017 – 7:00 PM UTC (https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-launch/)

At this point, we will provide download of Bitcoin Gold full node client on our website. The BTG blockchain will officially be live, with blocks mined openly by users and pools from all around the world.
Wallets and exchanges will be able to process deposits, withdrawals and trades (as soon as they are ready). This is the culmination of months of hard work, which have led to many changes and improvements, including:

  • Equihash PoW change.
  • Implementation of full Replay Protection (BIP143 SIGHASH) (protecting the community from attacks)
  • Implementation of a Unique “G” and “A” prefixed Address Format (avoiding accidental coin transactions to incorrect destinations).
  • Refinement of the per-block difficulty  adjustment algorithm (to better respond to dynamic changes in hashing power).
  • The usual minor tweaks, bug fixes, and improvements.
  • Successful mining on several generations of Public Testnet.
  • Network & pool integration.

We are extremely grateful for the community around the world who have been contributing hash power to our testnets; besides patiently testing their own mining process, they allow exchanges, pools, wallet developers, and all other service operators to implement and test their support of BTG so that the Bitcoin Gold community can have a full suite of services at launch time. Thank you to all those who have donated their hash power to this effort! We’d also like to extend our gratitude to all those service providers who have been working so hard with us to prepare a fully functional ecosystem at launch.

The results are living proof that a friendly fork can lead to the healthy, organic growth of a new crypto community.

The team is now redoubling efforts in the following areas:

  • Improving our documentation so that accurate, up-to-date info is easily accessible for mining.
  • Assisting providers of services (exchanges, wallets) to integrate BTG. Full technical info.
  • Assisting press and social media communities with access to information and services coming soon (official wallet and mining guide, official community forum, etc.

We know that many of you share our happiness and joy as we mark this exciting moment.

#1CPU1VOTE

With best wishes.

Bitcoin Gold Community.

Finally I can see that something concrete and definite here, everything is much waiting for this moment. And I very much hope that all goes according to plan. That's interesting exchanges that have promised to enroll coins probably will accrue coins in the launch date. I really hope that it will be so.

@Drokzid - no timeline for Trezor support for the moment but we'll definitely contact them.

@fcmatt - https://mine.pool.gold/ has downloads, you have to change the address in one file and start the miner.

@Sam123 - Claymore's ZEC Miner

@BtcMan2009 - Thank you. It is fact that we missed some deadlines. Our team can do everything but is small. Not for long - we are hiring.

Great! I assume we could simply mine to our BTC address that were created prior to the fork. So with at least the suprnova pool ready, all we need is getting the right miner and command line. Right?

Will the testnet just merge to the mainnet when it's active or will you be using a different port for the mainnet ?

For example if I was to be mining on the testnet before mainnet goes live will I be auto switched to mainnet or will I need to change something

That would be pool dependent, if your solo mining right now test is 18332 and main is 8332 by default,

Every pool has its own proxy, and its own ports

I think suprnova.cc being a good company, and wanting to keep the transistion perfect would use the same port as they have for testing, this way their customers make no changes, besides what would be the point of keep the -testnet active for the mining pools, nobody wants to mine a 'testnet' that promises zero coin

For the other mining pools, you probably would need to study their 'how to'

***

Here's what SUPRNOVA.CC is saying ...

BTGold is NOT LIVE YET !!!!!

You are mining worthless testnet coins currently. This is used to set up your rigs, test everything and then switch over to "real" coins once the devs of BTG release the mainnet wallets. There is no precise date for that release yet. You can test everything but remember - YOU'RE MINING ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS TESTNET COINS !!!

TESTNET-PORT IS: stratum+tcp://btg.suprnova.cc:8816 Nicehash: 8862


***

See right now they say "TESTNET-PORT" 8816, that will probably drop, and no reason to say MAIN-NET, problem is that suprnova.cc can't activate until they have the working code, and nobody has the code cuz it hasn't been released, and there is no public block-chain for the post fork main-net

The pools will not be getting the code ( source github.com/btcgpu ) any earlier than anybody else, most likely the 'first' to mine, will be those who mine solo, and have their own blocks ready to go when they get the source, ... which is promised 12NOV @ noon, but this the 4th promise in 3 weeks, thus promises mean nothing from BTC-GPU.

WRT to other pool's who knows,

Now POOL.GOLD they're part of the BTC_GPU team, so they will have the code early, and they will probably day's ahead of all other mining pools, because they have insiders advantage, thus MAJORITY of miners will be on POOL.GOLD,

Once suprnova.cc gets got up on the blockchain, and has the source, then the miners will most likely end up there, as suprnova.cc is a good company, and can handle the over-load, while btc-gpu/pool.gold cannot handle a load, as we know a few weeks ago a MINOR dos attack brought them down.

***

Precise date language above is important, this is the 4th 'deadline' for delivery that BTC-GPU has given us in 3 weeks, ergo its not likely that they will deliver on 12NOV@noon. Incompetent people are frequently forced by their superiors ( jack liao ) to work for a new dead-line, but given the team hasn't changed, and the same ppl are still fumbling along, its NOT likely to get better, more likely to get worse.

Any wallets already available for this bitcoingold coin? First, they should release one...

U download their 'testnet' code github.com/btcgpu

U go into bgoldd-daemon.cpp, and you comment out two C++ lines that say "if not -testnet on cmd-line, then throw exit()", then rebuild

Now U have a working wallet to do as you wish.

I suspect that's how these online scams that generate addresses/private-key's are working they have a server running the daemon, but keep the priv-keys in a database for later use ( with-drawing funds from idiots who trusted public websites for wallets ).

Of course someone could also write a python script for generating a 'G' address for BTG, but why bother when u can just comment out two lines of code.

nVidia is better for equihash but if you already have AMD cards like me then claymore or optiminer are good choices I have mostly RX480s and these seem to prefer claymore bit I also have some R9 280x and these seem to prefer optiminer but that is just in my configuration

This is going to be exciting. Most bitcoiners thought this coin as dead but its futures are picking up in exchanges right now with considerable volumes. It's far from dead and if the launch is successful it'd have a sustainable future. Bit of a rushed launch announcement if you ask me though. The devs didn't wait a day or two after the announcement in order to launch the network. Either way, this is currency competition in play.

I'm a bit surprised we aren't seeing many complaints about Bitcoin Gold being premined though. With current prices its developers have secured millions in reserves based on their stats for the number of premined coins. Although a price drop would be expected from the actual launch and mining.

That is true price are seeing appreciation on exchanges already. BTG is entering as important player in this game now even it was not taken serious but people were wrong. I was holding my forked coins and will do for some period to see how dev take the project ahead.

From I know it is not. Countdown is ticking. Looks to be a huge hype about it. To be honest I'm waiting myself.

p.s.

As soon as it starts where can we check blocks?

So guys, to start the wait quite a bit. Today is a great day for gold. Many are waiting for the accrual of coins, those who have not given and will be selling them in the market. Well, while I'll watch away from it all. I think an interesting movie out.

What do you mean there is no wallet hibtc and bitfinex already trading this coin so they must have it implemented (maybe I expressed myself wrong but what I ment is just to be able to generate BTG address) . I'm not talking about a standalone wallet.

Ive not seen anything anywhere on any official channels so yes I would say its 100% fake

This was actually an interesting launch.. i've asked in Slack several times for a bootstrap.dat (for BTG) to sync from after they go live but received no answer at all.. Suddenly their pool went online about 15 mins before official launch and after they've released the source to the public their seednodes went down.. For about 10 minutes.. After those 10 minutes the wallet slooowly started to sync (because there was no bootstrap released) and it's still syncing...

So currently, the only pool up is the dev's pool :)

Yes on pool.gold but don't worry you are not missing out from what ive heard this is the premine stage all we are doing is donating hashing power for a short time

Can someone confirm? Why was this premine not announced, or done privately in the transition between testnet and mainnet? Why make it appear as though a 19:00 UTC launch was possible? Is it just that the non-official pools are not complying with donating their resources to a premine?

Why are we finding all this out now. For a coin with 400 dollar futures, a months delay, and a 2 week public testnet this is fucking asinine. A little information goes a long way for the community.

yes. the fork copies the network difficulty at the moment of the snapshot but im pretty sure the diff has already been adjusted.

guys, tell please, has anyone analyzed a wallet?
https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/releases
here are 2 trojans.

Is it safe to install it?

You expect random people from the forum to tell you if it's safe?

Well, I tell you it's safe, go ahead :)

Did you find this information?

p.s. I have found this webpage:

So looks atm it ain't profitable to mine at all using GPU.

here is waht suprnova says :

Be aware that there's currently a chain-split happening and suprnova's chain could be "declared" as the wrong chain by the dev-team. However, it's the longest chain so usually it should be okay, it's advisable to not invest in mining until the devs give out an official statement. (Watch Twitter)
UPDATE: It seems our chain is correct.

Your results are correct. It should be more or less 250 ksol/s depending on settings and gpu. The best will be nvidia 1070 (cost to power)

Dev why is your official wallet showing a virus?

I know there are false positives in a lot of QT wallets but this one is on Malwarebytes, first time I have experienced that.

Are you guys doing something to remove it?

You do not know the origin?
Do you want to hint that users are fools or scammers?
Anyone can download this wallet to his PC and upload it to virustotal.com for check.

However, if I do NOT download the wallet to PC and check by reference, I will get ANOTHER result.

Why is the same file being checked in different ways, different results for the same file !

my suggestion:
For analysis by reference, one file is provided, and for users, another.

P.S.
all this is very sad, and undermines confidence.

Where the world is going. Why you can not work honestly.
I like this coin ! I'm sure it will take a worthy place among others if users will not doubt about the honesty of the development team.

Yeah there is no reason for it to be in the wallet so they should remove it.  

And you are correct it does undermine confidence.  People are more likely to have it on an exchange than a potentially infected QT Wallet.  

You do realise the full wallet is a full mining node and the exchanges run the exact same software to to store your coins in their hot wallets and to interface with the network

Maybe it's just a false alarm.
(however I am very concerned about the presence of such viruses as Win32.Trojan.WisdomEyes.xxx)

But there are professionals working on the exchanges, they can delete some code and recompile, but I do not know how to do it.
In any case, I took the maximum security measures and so far everything is fine.

I don't know enough about the code or project to offer support or condemnation but malware bytes is awful. Had previous experience of them blocking a website and when we finally got a response they just refused to even look at it or fix the false possitive.

Again I don't know if that's the case here or not. Perhaps someone with technical knowledge and a stake in this project could reverse engineer the code and check outgoing connections to see if there is a problem or not.

Why even make a comment if you have no fucken idea what you are talking about?

They have posted it themselves on their website that the wallets are infected you idiot.  

They never said they were infected just that the checksum did not match and should be seen as compromised.

Since there have been 0 reports of stolen funds we can only come up with a few scenarios

1. The files were harmless and were not compromised (Maybe slight corruption on upload)
2. No one downloaded the file during that time (bearing in mins it was only the windows version and pretty much all companies use the linux version or build from source)
3. If it was compromised and a users key was stolen then no action has yet taken place (unlikely since it's been warned the hacker would want a quick exit while it possible)

I took a separate hard drive (also disabled all other drives) and installed new Windows 7 x64, then installed the Comodo 10 firewall, and after updated it.
I did not install anything else.
Then I downloaded this wallet from official site.
https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

I waited for the synchronization.
Then I made import of the keys from the wallet of bitcoin (the bitcoins were no longer there).
Having received my coins, I created a new address to receive and sent all the coins there to my own address.
Of course I installed a long complicated password in my wallet.
After that I turned off the hard drive from the computer and did not connect anymore.
I also used the same address for mining on my small rigs.

After I followed the development of the coin, I held it and did not sell it.
Sometimes I went into the explorer to check that coins were sent to me from the pool.

Today I again decided to look at my balance in the explorer.
And I saw that all my coins were transferred to another address.
ALL.
Here is my address
https://btgexp.com/address/GX4wntkpnSKE2WzztLy8zFr4Lffw42PmGW

In my country this is huge money.
To earn so much, ordinary people must work hard for 9-11 months.
I am very sad  :(  :( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I think there's a back door in the wallet, scammers used it to send the keys over the net.
I can not say whether all the developers are scammers or just some of them.


But now this project Bitcoin Gold

and these names

Jack Liao
h4x3rotab
Robert Kuhne
Alejandro Regojo
Martin Kuvandzhiev
Franco Niebles

will be associated me with scam.

It's good that I installed the wallet on a separate hard drive.
Otherwise it would be possible the purse stole my other coins, and maybe my personal data.

Yes, my mistake is that I trusted the development team and did not transfer the coins to a reputable exchange.

There is an important step missing where the dots are, before the rest happened. You haven't installed any proper antivirus at this point. Windows 7 legal version, not patched? Comodo 10 payed version or cracked? If not payed legal versions of these two, any of them can introduce virus into your system since you didn't have antivirus. That virus can infect all other software, including the wallet software.

Why one txid from Aug 1st in BTC chain has different addresses in BTG chain? Shouldn΄t be the same?

It's normal both addresses have the same private key but because BTG use a different address format the public key you see get generated differently so result in a different visible address

Go to bitaddress.org and generate a new address now import the private key into both a Bitcoin wallet and a Bitcoin Gold wallet

You will see different public addresses

BTC will start 1xxxxxx
BTG will start Gxxxxxx

It may help others not to happen to them what happened to you if you describe, step by step, what you have done before this was stolen from you.
I took a separate hard drive (also disabled all other drives) and installed new Windows 7 x64, then installed the Comodo 10 firewall, and after updated it.
I did not install anything else.
Then I downloaded this wallet from official site.
https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

I waited for the synchronization.
Then I made import of the keys from the wallet of bitcoin (the bitcoins were no longer there).
Having received my coins, I created a new address to receive and sent all the coins there to my own address.
Of course I installed a long complicated password in my wallet.
After that I turned off the hard drive from the computer and did not connect anymore.
I also used the same address for mining on my small rigs.

After I followed the development of the coin, I held it and did not sell it.
Sometimes I went into the explorer to check that coins were sent to me from the pool.

Today I again decided to look at my balance in the explorer.
And I saw that all my coins were transferred to another address.
ALL.
Here is my address
https://btgexp.com/address/GX4wntkpnSKE2WzztLy8zFr4Lffw42PmGW

In my country this is huge money.
To earn so much, ordinary people must work hard for 9-11 months.
I am very sad  :(  :( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I think there's a back door in the wallet, scammers used it to send the keys over the net.
I can not say whether all the developers are scammers or just some of them.


But now this project Bitcoin Gold

and these names

Jack Liao
h4x3rotab
Robert Kuhne
Alejandro Regojo
Martin Kuvandzhiev
Franco Niebles

will be associated me with scam.

It's good that I installed the wallet on a separate hard drive.
Otherwise it would be possible the purse stole my other coins, and maybe my personal data.

Yes, my mistake is that I trusted the development team and did not transfer the coins to a reputable exchange.
do not do as I do)

that sucks, i'm really sorry for you, it's a huge amount for any country
i hope those scammers will be exposed and punished
store it in the exchange is more safe sometime,because their currency safe had been paid a lots pf money,
