Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

[1 currency now]

So is BTG associated with actual precious metal? or perhaps is it just the name?

Isn't the coin being traded with high volume? Who is actually mining the coin? They can make more cash by trading it this week.

As i have my BTC locked away in Paper Wallets, I didnt touch my BTG yet. I would have to make new paper wallets anyway to keep my BTC safe, right?

Correct. I have the same setup, and it's annoying to have to do it again.
I already missed several opportunities to sell Bitcoin Cash at a high price, because it's still "locked" and I want to transfer the Bitcoins to a new wallet before touching the forks.

There's now 4 things (that I know of):
1. Bitcoin ($7200)
2. Bitcoin Cash ($1240)
3. Bitcoin Gold ($160)
4. BitCore ($13; it's $26 per coin, but half a coin got airdropped per Bitcoin)

I plan to extract them in this  same order, then store them all in their own wallets again.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there will be no huge dumps of BTG by dev team. They pre-mined 8000 blocks of 12.5 BTG each, which makes total of 100 000 BTG. But, they said coins will be locked and divided in 3 years or 36 months (not sure if this is true). So, they can only dump 2777 coins in one month which is not that lot. There are whales out there with more coins than this.

Right now it has balance of around 15 BTG.

Hi!
Has anyone claimed Bitcoin Gold from a Bitcoin paper wallet? Could you please explain how to do that?

[BitcoinRonnie]

There are a lot of difficulties with the project and I would not buy coins and sold all my coins. The code is still far from complete and there is no need to wait for any movement.

Hi miners,

For whose that want to claim their BTG here is a nice infographic

I like the name... but that's about it. Anyone with any common sense has long abandoned this project after multiple exchanges refused to even list that coin. It's not worth wasting your time even researching this any further.

Does anyone know of an exchange that is accepting BTG deposits?  I've checked Yobit and Bitfinex.  Though they allow for trading the tokens that they have provided at fork, they are not accepting deposits.

From the looks of it, Nicehash has been on Equihash mining BTG since it started, but how are they selling what they've mined?  I've been mining since it started, but getting impatient about whether I'll be able to sell it any time soon.

I see all of these posts and explanations on how to use Coinomi (or whatever wallet) to get you air-dropped BTG from the fork, but nothing about how you can't really do anything with it right now.

Which exchanges are accepting Bitcoin Gold (BTG) deposits?
Have any announcements been made about when they might?

Thanks

HitBTC is accepting deposit.

And if you want to redeem your BTG from the snapshot, you can use Electrum.

Apparently, there is a good number of crypto exchanges that do not accept Bitcoin Gold. This coin is far from being done. I think to a greater extent, this Bitcoin Gold project is basically under construction. Bittrex may have supported it in such a way that they will provide BTG to all BTC holders but only up to that, no BTG trading at all because they won't accept BTG in their trading platform.

How to get your Bitcoin Gold Electrum wallet? I understand that I need to wait for a new release that supports BTG and follow the same procedure as with Bitcoin, Cash by entering the seed. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

I don't understand what new value proposition Bitcoin Gold (BTG) brings to the table that Bitcore (BTX) doesn't have.
BTX is already built for GPU mining and is ASIC mining resistant and it offers placing fast transactions and very very low fees.

How do you guys see the difference between BTG and BTX, does it really 'require' BTG?

I am sorry but how is that going to give you access to the btg coins themselves?

I believe the coin is dead. Look what happened when they started mainnet and opened mining. Their Slack was boiling because of chain split.

This is batshit crazy. It requests the person wanting to claim his BTG enter his private keys into an app on an android phone.

Nobody should every do that.

anyone who hasn't already emptied their bitcoin from that address gets what they deserve.

if your bitcoin gold gets stolen, meh.

i've done it that way with coinomi for bcash. it was fine.

3% I'm back to officially ignoring this puppy. Not worth the hassle. Wake me up when something pumpy happens.

[Wolfie]

I think its interesting, i pointed one rig at SuprNova and in around 36 hours got .14 BTG . . it reminds me of the glory days of BTC mining when one multi GPU rig in 2011 got me 1 BTC per week . .  ah the good old days.

I believe the network is stabilizing, miners are mining, the intial FUD will wear off and the thing will grab a decent value and maybe even get a lucky pump or two in, why not?

Its cool that use lil guys can mine bitcoin "something" with GPUs, since when was crypto supposed to be about owning your own data center to get a fuckin coin? its soooooooooooooooo gheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Give it a break and dont hate on Jack Liao for premining, Satoshi premined a million and just cause they didnt move yet . .  doesnt mean they never will wink wink
