[ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again

[jpouza]

BTG is looking more good in the long run in comparison to BCH regardless of the value of these two. There is most of supply in their hands and that is cause of manipulation whereas in this market trading is being carried on. It has been very profitable in trading perspective for me too.

BTG is far better than BCH IMHO, there is also a huge chance to profit for brave men right now, this is the moment, at 0,04BTC price ratio, this coin just have one place to go: up.

Anybody here with balls of steel to do an all in for BTC/BTG trade?

And what exactly is wrong with me bitching about centralization wherever it rears its ugly head?

::sigh:: nothing.

Though I believe you are confusing the position enjoyed by a superior competitor in the free market with centralization.

Yeah. I remember ghash.io. I remember that they fleetingly enjoyed a 50%+ mining market share on the Bitcoin blockchain. I remember that they did not abuse their ability to execute a '51% attack'. I also remember that they are now merely a minor player.

What's your point?

A 70% market share in SHA256 ASICS and also have an interest in pools contributing to almost 50% of the hash rate for BTC and 90% for BCH? Oh no, that's not centralized at all.   I suppose by your definition, De Beers was only a "superior competitor" in the free market of diamonds, until recently.

Oh and as a side note: This DragonMint project does look promising. However, if it really appears as though it's going to cut in on Jihan Wu's turf, do you really think that Jihan is just going to sit idly by and let it happen? I'm sure Jihan will make every attempt to get his tentacles wrapped around that project.

It's enough that they could have. Isn't it.

What happened with the Windows installer?

I see the warning on the website.

Is the one currently displayed safe to use?

Was the website or GitHub hacked?


The link to the windows installer in the OP points to a download with the wrong checksum:

This is the link: http://1ink.cc/g9Ia beware.



The checksum returned is: 4e4249f68730a2f7a7210a730de21a79b646c8895622dda4e18d6a4b6f50d992

However the one currently on GitHub at https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/releases/tag/0.15.0.1

Returns the correct one: 53e01dd7366e87fb920645b29541f8487f6f9eec233cbb43032c60c0398fc9fa

So should we assume the OP has also been hacked?

BEWARE GUYS, MAKE SURE TO DOUBLE CHECK WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD BEFORE YOU RUN ANY SOFTWARE!!!

<Sigh> I was really trying to start to root for this project. Are we even certain the OP is directly linked with the dev team? The posts seemed to indicate that he was. How many of these incidents is the community willing to bear?

a ploy to get your bitcoins inside a ploy to get your bitcoins. can we go any deeper?

For now, are there technical solutions for fighting with Replay Attacks?

Yes, they coded in two way replay protection. Seemed to pass muster with Slush since that was one of the conditions SatoshiLabs had before integrating BTG support for Trezor. Also, I haven't heard any complaints about people's transactions getting replayed.  However, with the way things have been going, who knows.

The OP has only made 2 posts since October 18 it does look a bit fishy.



Last active November 16:



It could be an older version of the installer, so can't be 100% sure as I didn't download it when it was first made available.
If anyone has the previous (official) installer and can run a checksum to confirm it's the same as I mentioned above:

4e4249f68730a2f7a7210a730de21a79b646c8895622dda4e18d6a4b6f50d992

That could clear things up for the OP. I'd expect the OP to be a bit more active.

[bones261]

Thank goodness that I own a Trezor. I wasn't interested in running my own full node and didn't need to find ways to claim my BTG that could compromise my seed or private keys. At least I am hoping there isn't some other vulnerability with Trezor that I am unaware of.

That is really strange to know but luckily I'm using Coinomi wallet and don't trust on unknown people but this could put risk a lot of people who download this wallet during this phase. Anyway thanks for sharing this into official thread.

jbear hasn't got back to our point yet? it was so good tho

is this checksum secure? 782d0615b309231d9ec243407972b57a978c2640e19673f6a575347d8c69f53d it's from the qt.exe inside the installer not the installer itself

Hello Folks,

As you may have noticed, the source code for the Bitcoin Gold wallet is only available as .zip or .tar.gz file on their Github page.  I don't like that style and I have therefore unpacked all that and put it back onto Github in a more usable format.  You may see it at https://github.com/bostontrader/bitcoin-gold

Does anybody know if there's a publicly visible official edition of this?  Does anybody have any assurance the public binaries have anything to do with the putative source code? 

I also have a collection of several docker files for building a handful of crypto coin wallets, including the above BTG wallet, at https://github.com/bostontrader/crypto-docker.  Using this, you can run the wallet in a docker container and view the output using VNC Viewer.


Please be reminded that there are lots of scammers playing games with these wallets, so please inspect my offering carefully.  I have posted the source code as I found it.  If there is evil lurking within, it didn't come from me.

Enjoy!

And how is this any different from the official source code from gitgub?  https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU
