[ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again

[Snixer]

Did exchanges express their stance already on Bitcoin Gold? If so which exchanges are gonna distribute the coins to people who hold btc there?

[tekmobile]

any possibility you can make the wallet work on testnet ?

I'd do some testing before launch ...

Code:

src/bgoldd -daemon -testnet
bgoldd: crypto/common.h:138: int init_and_check_sodium(): Assertion `crypto_sign_verify_detached(sig, message, sizeof(message), pk) != 0' failed.
Aborted

Bump....

bump once more.. any dev here ?

I don't think this thread was started by anyone from bitcoin gold so probably not

Are you anything to do with suprnova ? if so will you be supporting this for mining if so contact them at support@btcgpu.org if not done already to be listed on the website

I don't think this thread was started by anyone from bitcoin gold so probably not will you be supporting this once its finished and ready for launch

Hmm.. But how's anyone testing if there's nothing to test with, and "the fork" (tm) is in four days ? ) Usually you'd test a week or so at least prior to launch

I know it's cutting it close but the chain snapshot is only happening on the 25th the release date will be after this last I heard it will be 1st November but I am expecting delays contact support@btcgpu.org they may be able to help you further and also get you listed on the website

Im guessing you are to do with suprnova ?

Yes, the snapshot etc. is fine, but since fork involves some parameters different than the original, testing is needed to get everything set up and working correctly prior to the launch.. Otherwise it'll be just a trainwreck or fork-o-rama .. or whatever when it launches.. I see for example the block header structure seems different than bitcoin and zcash, so it'd need testnet to get some blocks built and sent to the wallet for acceptance/rejectance etc..

MMh.. I don't care about the website listing but I'll try to open a ticket on their github..


EDIT: Oh and the premine isn't mentioned here (or on the website) either.. or am I blind ?

I don't think the premine is mentioned but reading the current code its 8000 blocks (~0.5%)

How can a fork from Bitcoin be Equihash 

[tekmobile]

How can a fork from Bitcoin be Equihash  

It's just a hashing algorithm (Input>Output) if you modify the software to understand and accept the new algorithm output from a certain block then it will still be valid it's not quite that simple but hopefully you know what I mean

A lot of the coins out there are derived from bitcoin but with a change of work but started from block 1 which is much simpler

Need a simple windows wallet. Why just mobile phone wallets have?

Need a simple windows wallet. Why just mobile phone wallets have?

Im sure the likes of Exodus, Jaxx etc will support it but until the codebase is finished its not really possible to do yet

[cryptolord21]

Because it is based on "Equihash" we can mine it with the same available miners, like EWBF Zcash miner, right ? From what I see for now we need to get the BTC gold wallet, which is not available yet 

Yeah just as i thought, it seems like BTC gold wallet isn't release yet. I'm waiting too.

[cyberpitstop]

I am in!!! Sounds good.

[nitego]

what is to stop anyone setting up a GPU farm like ASIC farm in the same location due to energy efficiency. As it is the GPU prices have been priced such that home miners are actually better off buying the coins of exchanges, so you really are not solving any problem in my opinion

[truongdhnh]

Will it BTG code on exchange? I see BTG code at cryptopia but it isn't Bitcoin Gold. Why do dev select Bitcoin Gold name? What is it related to fork?

I have coins both on Exodus and Jaxx but there's no notification yet from the devs of both wallets, I'm still waiting for their notification and it's only 3 days from here I'm hoping they will support so I can have a Bitcoingold when it launch I'm surprised it's already in exchange.

Its longer than 3 days its just the chain snapshot that's happening then and until the source is complete and can be verified I doubt any will announce anything

looks like a scam

Bittrex will be supporting BTG https://twitter.com/BittrexExchange/status/921971095007199233

[Supercoiner111]

Power to GPU, nice official ANN! Will follow enthusiastically!

[bitdeep]

Now we have bittrex claiming that BTG has a pre-mine of 100,000 BTG:
