While I agree that it appears that only third-rate services seem to be stepping up to support Bitcoin Gold, I think you have the relationships exactly backwards. There is no way Bitcoin Gold can force any service provider (e.g., wallets, exchanges, ...) to implement Bitcoin Gold. Conversely, any service provider that wishes to can implement Bitcoin Gold at their option. Indeed, there is nothing Bitcoin Gold can do to prevent them from doing so. Given that fact, it may be instructive to ponder why it is that only third-rate services are stepping up to implement Bitcoin Gold. Most were waiting for replay protection first which has now been merged both trezor and ledger have stated this was a must and would not support until done the rest will follow suit

where are a rendem tutorial?? with privkey what's the procedure to rendem bitcoin gold? thanks
Wait until mainnet goes live then import your private key into any TRUSTED wallet there are a lot of scams going round Thats it to be safe though I would move your valuable BTC to a new address first and wait for it to be confirmed

Well at first they say they can't do it - then they say they don't have enough devs to do it themselves ( https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/51#issuecomment-339287236) and then suddenly, after someone stepped in, they do it themselves AND STILL pay the bounty for the other dev worth 4.5 BTC ? Wow.. They. they must be either super-rich or total idiots then, right ? The way I understand it, they didn't give 4.5 BTC, they gave '4.5 BTC worth' of premined BTG (which they have in essentially unlimited supply). Right? Not quite there is still no way to "sell" the premine yet and yes when the network launches a small amount may be sold off to recover this but most will be still timelocked for 3 years and not able to be sold until that time and I wouldn't call it unlimited plus the premine is almost the quantity as the big miners on BitCash have accumulated exploiting the EDA (8000 blocks vs the 7524 blocks the big miners have expedited already)

Wow.. They. they must be either super-rich or total idiots then, right ? I can only go on what is stated and what I read I am following everything on github I was surprised when they paid in BTC when the bounty was for 250BTG i expected 250BTG to be paid when the network goes live the only thing I can think is that the value is expected to increase substantially and paying in BTC now was seen as a cheaper option but either way $25k is still a nice bit of earning for whoever it was This was the actual merge https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/109 I don't think its that they couldn't do it since the PoW change was much more complicated but more due to the time scale before launch and was seen as a necessary precaution to ensure all work was completed on time

Today, the start of mining and I think we can expect big differences in complexity. We can make good money on this, until most of people switch to this coin.
only testnet is launching today.. nothing more. and replay protection was actually implemented not by the "devs" themselves but by a bounty at github... The replay protection was actually self implemented they didn't use the code provided for the bounty but still paid it anyway

1/11 - no wallet to many words and where is it? Where is simple mining instruction ?
I am stay away
Wallet is here ( https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU) just build from source once the network goes live then pre-compiled binaries will be made available

I really believed in BCH and I was like "this is the new bitcoin". But now I think I am very vrong. Its not really used anywhere, Zcash has almost the same functionality. What I believe is that people want BCH up because they have a lot of money invested in it, or that they want to battle bitcoin. These recent swings are all only pumps from Bithumb. Have you seen the trading volumes there ? The day (17 oct) BCH raised from 307 to nearly 390 there was nearly 400milion trade volume on Bithumb, when normally there was around 100-200milion. https://imgur.com/a/fSJBV Then it dropped again (23 oct) to 310 again. After that we could see again decrease in trading volume. And now ? from 29 oct to now its above 400million each day, capping at 1BILION on 30-31 oct. I am not saying that market cap is all, but you can see majority of price volume is coming from Korea where they are trying to manipulate the price. I suggest keeping some money in there but you cant really be sure what is going to happen with that currency. I am not the wisest of you all, all im saying is that the usage of BCH is mainly speculative, whereas in Zcash you can some organic healthy usage and price ups/downs. It has been noticed that when there are big pumps coming from Korea that roger's tweets are also from Korea where they are usually from Japan coincidence much

And yet the value keeps rising and rising
And what will you say when that is no more. Broken segshitcoins can only live so long before their day of reckoning arrives. Bitcoin Cash is the only Bitcoin that has the performance needed to go on. Look at the crap forks popping up original segshit 1X segshit gold segshit silver and in Nov, we have segshit 2X that wants a direct death battle with your beloved segshit 1X Satoshi's dream lives on in Only Bitcoin Cash, segcrap is nothing more than a soon to be short lived offchain mutation. We are coming up on Nov 13, the previous all time high before the long crypto winter set in. History repeats itself, only the stupid will be holding segshit after this Nov 11th. ╥Aztek 2x is as good as dead unless something changes drastically before launch and it admits to just being a altcoin which is unlikely I think they would rather go down in a ball of flames than forfeit and admit defeat. Bitcoin Gold once alive may just give Bcash a good run replay protection is now merged and the testnet will be alive shortly it may be live now ive not checked but last I heard it would be a few hours then mainnet will be launched. Bitcoin Silver no one is taking it serious and probably just a parody there have been quite a few parody announcements lately I see the former top Bcash all in BCH pumper (Mrpumper) seems to have gave up now he's still around but he's too busy trying to pump up stellar now so obviously moved on to better things Lets wait and see how the "official BCH network upgrade" goes in a couple of weeks see what havoc that can bring that should be fun especially when it has already been stated that one of the other implementations was deemed superior but deadalnix pulled rank and chose his implementation that has been criticised for having a flaw lets see how many upgrade and how many refuse

this coin is a deception, it is not alive everything is canceled
The dev team is scammer, and premined 200k btg, how can you guys trust such an idiot scam project? There is no 200k premine it's 100k and some is being paid out now to the community as a bounty for helping by submitting code and to pay the other developers working on the project with the rest being timelocked for 3 years And as for being honest they just payed out about $25000 to one person that took the bounty for replay protection even though they didn't use his code just because it met the requirements

only a testnet planned for today, not the main one.
Lack of information, such a shame. Missed opportunity. I wouldn't class it as lack of information there are blog posts every couple of days on the main website now informing of what is happening and when things are planned plus they are very active on twitter etc I manage to keep up to date with no issues and I'm following the progress on all the github accounts where work is actively being done

When can we mining? Nov 1. but how many hours? UTC?
The testnet should be going live soon you can test mine on this but won't gain anything worth money and the real mainnet should follow shortly after there are currently no real timescales it all just depends on when the work is completed

this is not scam, i already tried Electron Gold wallet, it works fine. but make sure you download it from official page : https://electrongold.org/If it's real then they can contact bitcoingold.org and get it listed as such Sorry if I don't believe a newbie account that was just registered You say you have used it can you tell me have you used it to send BTG and how many confirmations you have got

I see claiming guide using some images few posts above mine. This wallet looks like electrum the way features are seen. Still can't find some reliable information and in current situation I am not ready to take risk. If this was clear and signed then swapping was worth but now it isn't.
Do not use that electron gold wallet it is almost guaranteed to be 100% fake scam wallet the source code that has been provided to view is self hosted and the github repository is for electron cash (Bitcoin Cash)

I won't even try to claim this. Doesn't seem legit to me. Or shall I?
You don't need to claim it if you had BTC before the snapshot then you already have it It will stay locked in your wallet forever you could "claim" it 20 years from now if you wanted to providing you still have your private key bit like with all forks move your valuable BTC to another wallet before importing your private keys

Guys,
where u think we can create a BTG wallet and where we can found the software for mining BTG?
Thx for help
Right now I would not trust anything that's not listed here http://bitcoingold.org/#ecosystem unless it's guaranteed direct from a legit player like trezor, ledger etc

Before I used my bitcoin private key to claim my bitcoin cash I moved the BTC to another address (gets a new private key) since the snapshot of the blockchain used by Bitcoin Cash had the coins on the old private key.
I suggest you use this principle when claiming your Bitcoin Gold as there is no way you are risking losing your BTC.
100% Agree this is a MUST and the smart way but not everyone is that smart but I do it differently I move ALL my BTC to a temporary disposable wallet before the fork and move it back to my main wallet after this reduces the risk of accidentally having further funds added to any of your previous addresses in the future
