Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

[Nana21]

Bitcoin price is now showing the sign that hard fork FUD are closed to happened. I don't know the reason why many investors wants to pull out during the hard fork while there is a free $$$ waiting on it in terms of BTG just like what happened on BCH

Finally managed to sync, import private keys, send Bitcoin Gold to an exchange (HitBTC), trade, withdraw, and confirm the withdrawal.  That was an ordeal!

Does anyone know if there are withdrawal limits on crypto at HitBTC these days?

how did you do that?,...which wallet?

Network is being unstable now, transactions are not being confirmed.

I'd suggest to send a small amount as a test transfer before moving larger amounts.
Just make sure your money won't be stuck in a limbo.

[Grigorevich]

I'd like to buy some BitcoinGold. I unfortunately lost hope on bitcoin.

I'd like to buy 6.5 btg. I'd pay 0.28 btc.

Nice I just send this transaction

Is there any way of retrieving the coin or is it just one giant fail?

[enquirer]

one hour block is nothing unusual, unless there are other signs of failure

[johnnypoll]

I had success sweeping BTG into coinomi. I then went to Bitfinex which I see has most BTG trading, but found no option to deposit BTG there. I saw someone managed to sell BTG on HitBTC so I created an account there and went to deposit BTG, but an error is shown when getting their BTG deposit address. So I for one have not managed to sell BTG anywhere.

[mercedes321]

thanks for the answer, its not yet possible to sell, but has anyone downloaded the 8 years 44 week full code 177G and wallet works, is possible to claim BTG?

[enquirer]

70 minutes no block, something's going on ... hard fork?

[dgale3952coin]

I really hope this isn't a giant fail by the dev's.  I guess it really goes to show that mining any new coin is risky

I solo mine, running my own full node for 3 weeks main-net right now I'm show 499930, and btg.suprnova.cc is showing 499929

( now 49931 on my getmininginfo ) when I hit return

What's the problem? Who has the longest block? The asshole mining pools (BTG DEV related ) aren't even show which blocks are found.

Balance fine too, when I run 'getbalance' all is good

I think the problem is that most of the pools are FAUX, and they were just churning equihash for the past 3+ weeks, and now they're going to lose customers, everyone is going to suprnova and that has the masters at ASIC-CHINA pissed,

So CHINA will declare the suprnova.cc BLOCK&CHAIN null&void, and declare the BTG-TEAM POOL.GOLD as 'KOSHER' right?

Good work loses, incompetence Pay's, ... welcome to the new world of BITCOIN

[dgale3952coin]

How does a chain spit happen?

[NorihiroName]

Is it already minable? Which wallets do you suggest as the best ones for this coin? Is it already on the market and the exchanges? Thank you.

[Icon]

are there any addnodes out there?  I only showing 2 connections

Blocks seem to be rolling again

I have Bitcoin Gold 0.15.0.1 fully synched (on Linux) and am managing coins using bgold-cli.

• Grab the build from https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/.
  
• Unzip and navigate to the binaries directory.
• Run the following command.

Code:

$ ./bgoldd -rpcport=8339 -connect=localhost:8333 -bootstrap -skiphardforkibd

This created a new .bitcoingold folder in my home directory and the node proceeded to sync up to the fork block by connecting to my Bitcoin Core node.  This took about an hour and consumed no bandwidth.  You can check progress with

Code:

$ ./bgoldd-cli -rpcport=8339 getinfo

If you don't have a Bitcoin node then just omit "-connect=localhost:8333" but this will consume I guess around 150 GB of bandwidth and will probably take a day or so depending on your connection speed.

Once you've reached the fork block, kill the node and restart it with

Code:

$ ./bgold -rpcport=8339

If you're struggling to get any connections you can try adding nodes as others have explained recently in this thread but I expect you'll connect ok now.  I interact with the node and wallet using bgold-cli.  Some examples:

Importing a private key:

Code:

$ ./bgold-cli -rpcport=8339 importprivkey KzUj...eTX9 "" true

To import multiple private keys do the same but finish the line with false for all but the last key to avoid rescanning for each one.

Checking my balance:

Code:

$ ./bgold-cli -rpcport=8339 getinfo
{
  "deprecation-warning": "WARNING: getinfo is deprecated and will be fully removed in 0.16. Projects should transition to using getblockchaininfo, getnetworkinfo, and getwalletinfo before upgrading to 0.16",
  "version": 150001,
  "protocolversion": 70016,
  "walletversion": 139900,
  "balance": 2057.86118500,
  "blocks": 499934,
  "timeoffset": -1,
  "connections": 2,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 5188865.299493919,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1510527535,
  "keypoolsize": 1999,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": ""
}

Sending 1 BTG:

Code:

$ ./bgold-cli -rpcport=8339 sendtoaddress "GN1TFHAjkfBEH2gxQ2sarrwACatLdQFuL7" 1
9c50eb6b626a2ec6f89aed9b3001f6e47d86b6dfb633bfec65e1bd63a230334b

Checking the status of recent transactions:

Code:

$ ./bgold-cli -rpcport=8339 listtransactions

HitBTC accepted my deposit after 6 confirmations (which took about 2 hours).  The rest is cake.

Bittrex does not calculate  bitcoin gold. who knows when they plan to charge? There are different rumors in the network, it is difficult to find the right information

[aoluain]

Its all a bit up in the air, i dont think anyone really
knows what exactly is going on.

I have keys ready to sweep but i think i will hold
out a bit longer until things settle down and we
get a sense of whats what.

[sat888com]

Finally, it works.
I used coinimi to sweep my BTG, transferred it to hitbtc, waited around 4h, and now I can trade them.
