Who knows maybe this will work in the future.
We already know that altcoins that create an exact copy of bitcoin with minimal and meaningless changes (such as replacing SHA-256 with SHA3-256) and zero innovations is only going to create a copycatcoin aka a shitcoin not something that "could work in the future".

Maybe you are right but according to BGL thread, it has the following advantages compared to BTC and the BGL team intends to publish an article in tier 1 journal about this project. This is what is going to be discussed in the article:

"1. Safer mining algorithm
2. Halving each year
3. Txs burning mechanism / lower supply in the long term
4. Low cost transfer fees (maybe the table could state the actual/approximate transfer fees in $ at the time of publication)
 5. Low cost mining operations (maybe the table could state the actual/approximate mining fees in $ at the time of publication)
6. Much lower market cap (difference is hundreds of thousands)
7. BGL NFTs
8. BGL - WBGL bridge on both eth and bsc
9. Hash rate (details)
10. More compressed size of the blockchain"

So it is not just "minimal and meaningless" changes.
 
But I understand that some previous shitty projects like bitcoin diamond and recently BCH really messed up the reputation of BTC forks. And I dont know if BGL will do great in the future. But I find this project interesting and cheap in terms of price. That's all.

Thank you. I am going to try a new version of Ubuntu like 18 or 20. Will let you know the outcome.

PS I am kind of new to crypto but I like the idea of BGL team to create a better version of BTC. Who knows maybe this will work in the future. After all, in 2010 nobody believed that bitcoin will rule the crypto world!

Thank you for explaining it. I guess the developers of BGL corrected it in BGL code.

Just so you know BGL has many programmers contributed to this project on github, if this is something of your interest.

Also Emma Wu, BGL developer helps BTC become better:

I have contacted BGL developers but if by chance someone can help me with the following. I am running my node using a VPS with Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS installed. When installing the bitgesell_0 package.1. 2_amd64. deb I get the following error.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bitgesell : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu11.2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Should I use a later version of Ubuntu?

hi everyone,

I am following a project called "Bitgesell", basically, its btc fork. Recently the team posted a message on their thread stating:

I want also to congratulate our team member Emeka who managed to find a thing in the bitcoin source code!

I dont have a background in programming so I dont know what it means. Can anyone please explain me. Thanks in advance.
