It took a while. Us miners had to wait for the dev team to gorge themselves with 8000 blocks for over 6 hours from "launch." I thought a premine was supposed to be done before the launch.

Didn't BTG mine a bunch of blocks before launching?  Why do they conveniently leave that out of the website?

According to the post above, I see now that they mined 8,000 blocks. 


"FAIR DISTRIBUTION"
Hard forking Bitcoin’s blockchain fairly and efficiently distributes a new digital asset immediately to people all over the world who have interest in cryptocoins. Other methods, such as creating coins with a new genesis block, concentrate ownership within a small group.

I guess mining 8,000 blocks for yourself is fair....

I wish it was before launching.

You're mining it? Do you have rigs? or renting hash?

I just have a personal computer with a GTX 1070. Not going to get rich. But what the hell.

Ryan X. Charles can't get over the high fees and slow transaction times and has gone full Bitcoin Cash.

Will Bitcoin ever win guys like this back? Maybe he will come back in a few years when BTC is still number one....

The thing just launched and is worth 5% of a Bitcoin. It's insane.
But what isn't?

It won't last long once the exchanges open up the deposits. Everyone and their mom will be dumping this. It is probably more prudent for me just to point my hash at Nicehash. It's paying pretty good at the moment for Equihash.

hope you're not on suprnova, sounds like the BTG devs fucked that whole chain

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

I just miss having things to dump for Bitcoins. I forgot how much fun it is.

[MNDan]

Well, I've officially dumped my Bitcoin Cash. Commence with another pump!

On a side note, Bittrex seems kinda nice? Never used it before...

I got the willies when I read their customer agreement though.

Should I have read that? Oops...

Marvelous!   Oh well. At least I don't have a farm.

Yep here we go: statement on Suprnova:

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)

amateur hour in cryptoland...just pathetic

It was declared the wrong chain because it was different than the dev pool chain. https://twitter.com/SuprnovaPools/status/929958628584493056
Nice way to move towards "decentralization."   What a waste of most of my Sunday. At least it appears the Honey Badger prevailed today.

I've got a GTX970 still in its box. I guess now that I've got my electric heat on anyway, I should get off my butt and install it in my old PC. It may not be fast but it has 6 full-length PCIe slots.

This is fun. I haven't mined since 2014 (2015?). It's like the good old days.

Let's see how fast the network grows. Early birds probably have an advantage.

And as a special bonus we all get a nice gift to start off.

meh, I can't get my config working, says the pool is removed from the list

pointing back to ZEC

Now Suprnova chain is correct chain?? https://twitter.com/SuprnovaPools/status/929965392742756353
Still not pointing my hash to BTG. Need to be certain that they have their shit together. Looks more like shit hitting the fan to me.
