Bitcoin Gold (BTG)

[ruletheworld]

I think it'll remain $200-$300 range for this month and there is a good chance to $400 in early 2018.

No indicators endorse that.
EMA10 and 21 are dipping; MACD(10,26,9) is deadly flat on 0; Volume is steadily descending since November the 25th.
0.89 BTC are enough to raise BTG price by >2.2% as I'm writing.
There is NO REAL market: pump and dump.

Are you crazy? Bitcoin Gold with its GPU mining is going to be big! You must not been pay attention to the announcement they are making. Bitcoin Gold will be bitcoin GOLD!!!

There are lots of other alts that support GPU mining what's special about Bitcoin Gold other than it being a fork of Bitcoin?

I support you. The vastness of people will want to switch from ether to bitcoin gold.
Since the complexity of mining is less, and the reward is greater.
The price will clearly go up, just need time that everything would fall into place.
Now coins are poured out of fork.

First: traded volume of BTG is declining (as I said above), so that vastness of people you're talking about is NON existent. Period.

Second: ETH (ya mentioned it) today is +10% and is much more consolidated than Bit+***Glod. Then it will come POS.

Third: Bit****Glod guys still did not publish any guide on their site to claim Bit****Gold coins despite what said here
https://bitcoingold.org/faq/
"What wallet should I keep my BTC in to make sure I get my free BTG?

Some wallets may offer you direct access to your BTG, while others may require you to take additional technical steps. Verified wallets that support BTC and BTG side-by-side will be listed on the Bitcoin Gold home page. We continue to publish guides for retrieving BTG from the most popular wallets, including Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Mycelium, hardware wallets, paper wallets, and more."

More than one month elapsed and still nothing. Funny..more than funny: ludicrous  

Fourth: being a money good for mining does NOT imply that it is good for keeping, in fact the opposite happens.

Market did NOT welcome BTG. Market indicators refect this. It is simple as that.
I mine that coin proficiently and I dump it proficiently by means of waiting for the three/four daily artificial pumps.

You and others can troll and shill or be naive dreamers in good faith (why not) as you want, it is just waving a flag. Investors (I mean the "big bores") have decided already, I'm afraid.

Most of your posts has been fudding BTG. Why don't you find some better to do with your time? You don't like BTG ok good quit wasting your energy here and move on...

[lionaries]

Why is everybody saying that you cant claim BTG coins ans posting sentences with “... when it will be available at trade markets” or exchanges, when there is a lot of ways to trade BTG to atleast BTC? Also, what is that news and announcements, that lead to future growth of BTG? Their twitter looks empty and dead, where r they announce things?

the price of bitcoin gold is possible to increase like bitcoin cash
because bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold is the same from the hardfork bitcoin.

I hope the price will increase although i know it can not easy. The price of BTG still need many time to grow up. I think not now the price will grow up. But i believe next year the price must be grow up. Because now BTG have not a good system and still need many improvements to the system before the price will up.

[uniquefighter]

Recently I learned that BTG want to forgot even ethereum. And that from BTG to do nothing all problems are solved. So people love easy money.
Well as investment in long with such a great title, perhaps BITCOINGOLD in 2018 to 1000 closer

There is not much buyers on yobit and btg is not listed on bittrex so we will start a dumping period in few hours.
also its clear that other alt coins start to rise.

Could anyone explain the actual architectural differences between bitcoin gold, bitcoin cash and bitcoin?

I have read a lot of discussion about it on the forum but there seems to be a lot of confusion around the actual difference.

Also the planned change to bitcoin to improve network congestion, is this an actual change to the architecture or a proprietary software service?

Bitcoin is the original chain (some will dispute this) created by Satoshi Nakamato (fake name nobody knows who he/she/they actually are). It uses SHA encryption and a 1 meg max block size. Bitcoin also now uses Segwit. Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin that uses the same SHA encryption but has increased block size to 8 megs. It does not support Segwit. Sadly, I sold all my BCH soon after the fork (silly me). Bitcoin Gold is a partial scam fork as the devs privately mined 8,000 blocks after the fork and kept all the coins for themselves. But it has been adopted and on many exchanges and it is now a viable cryptocurrency (I am holding most of mine). The encryption is Equihash and can be mined by hobbyist and professional miners using GPUs. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash need advanced ASIC devices to mine it and is mined mostly by large companies now. You can mine it as a hobby but need to buy expensive, advanced ASIC hardware such as an Antminer, etc. GPU mining would be a waste of power and you would make nothing.

Hi,

could anyone explain to me why BTG mining luck is so high (at least on suprnova)?
Right now difficulty seems to be low, but for suprnova last 20 blocks have average luck of around 220%

Thanks.

Luck is luck. It goes up and down. Crytocurrency mining just looks for a solution for a given difficulty. Finding the solution is just luck. Luck is faster with more hash power because you are guessing the solution more often. Sometimes a pool has outstanding luck and sometimes they go into the toilet and don't find blocks for hours or days. That is why it is called luck.

[gbates]

Thanks for your answer.

So am I understanding this correctly?
Looking at mining calculator alone is not enough to calculate profitability and if a pool has poor luck for an extended amount of time - let's say 200% - it means I will earn around half what calculator is showing if the difficulty is constant?

Yes that is correct. Also what they tell is sometimes just plain wrong. For example, Mining Pool Hub is saying that mining Monacoin on Nvidia hardware is much more profitable than mining Ethereum. But my machines are telling me otherwise. Same type of hardware the ETH is way outperforming the MONA due to the recent ETH prices increases. If difficulty goes up then Mona might be more profitable again. But for now I am back on ETH and doing well.

maybe you can use some exchange. I believe they will support bitcoin gold. check out bittrex as I remember they support btg first

I cannot really understand why so many talks about Bitcoin Gold. This fork don’t show high results. Of course it is stable but this is not a benefit at the time when Bitcoin itself are making price records.

Many people can't afford a full bitcoin. Bitcoin Gold with its GPU mining will be the next big thing. Right now prices are a bit low for profitable mining. But as soon as price starts to rise and become stable. BTG will be one of the coins of choice. The team is really putting in great efforts to see this coin thru. More and More exchanges are adding it and in a few days will be added to one of the biggest Asian exchanges. Keep doubting BTG and miss out!

this is good news about the addition to more exchanges.
I have to say though the price is very stable for the last week or two, hovering between $250 and $320.
The main thing is that is has not tanked and is showing some resilience and support.
This is all good foundation work for 2018.

Hi, is there a limit date until i can claim my BTG coins? thanks

[Nana21]

 i can follow the previous bitcoin cash fork easily. But for this bitcoin gold, it is not easy to find out when is the finalised time for the snapshot to be taken and is there any replay protection implemented.

You wander away from the WO you will only find disappointment.
