[ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again

[bones261]

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.

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.

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

Thanks for the compliment.   My argument does use an analogy though, so I am sure it is fallacious in some way. (After all, in the 80s, De Beers controlled 90% of the diamond market. So they are an extreme example.) But hey, can't be perfect.

The main one's calling it that are the Bcash supporters maybe they see it as a huge threat to their claimed supremacy but a large percentage if bitcoin users are in support

It's not really a scam. However, there appears to be a good deal of actual scams that are exploiting this coin. The latest example is someone redirecting the download links so people can download a very special wallet. Thank god this was caught after only a couple of days.

Thanks for the interesting info.

I'm looking to hedge BTG. I'd like to short, but there's no exchange that offers margin or futures on btg.

If anyone out there is interested in loaning me 2-3BTC worth of BTG, please contact me. I can post 150-200% collateral (BTC) to a respected escrow of bitcointalk we can agree on.

As mentioned in the OP, Bitcoin Gold is a hard-fork of Bitcoin, so my question is "Why Bitcoin Gold has different algorithm with Bitcoin (the Original one)? The algorithm of Bitcoin Gold is Equihash. All of your explanations will be appreciated.

there are no asics yet for equihash

I can't really see what there is to respond to.
- I know nothing about the diamond industry
- You seem to know nothing about the free market
- You seem to engage in conspiratorial flights of fancy
I think we've each made our positions clear. What's left to say?

If somebody would help me it would be a weight of my mind.   I would like to know how to get at my BTGs
At the fork I held BTC in Mycelium.   A few weeks later I moved the BTC to Coinomi.

Where are my freaking BTGs!!

Thanks -  hopefuly.

[hah]

Your BTG are still in the addresses from the fork.  So, they are in the address(es) that was on your mycelium wallet.
You need to export those private keys and import (actually sweep) into your new coinomi wallet.

You may contact me directly to help you with it, but you should be able to do it yourself easily.

Next 3 fork in future.

Just want to be clear on what you're asking (based on current values)....

You're willing to send me (based on your example) a total of 6BTC.
I would loan you 3BTC worth of BTG (which is currently 3*9500/375 = 76).

I am interested in your terms.

coinomi.com is best because it has instant exchanger inside, you can exchange bitcoin gold into bitcoins using same wallet.
electrongold.org is good for windows users.

in both wallets, move your bitcoins to new wallet before to keep %100 in safe.

it's not available for windows

Well, not directly.
You can install android apps via Chrome.
I am confirming it works.

Is there a working block explorer out there? The price is holding up pretty nice.

Explorer:
https://btgexp.com/
https://btgblocks.com/

I am confirming it works.I tried my btc addresses in the BTG explorer but the address came up as not there....do we have to add prefix or do a bit shift or something?

Check balance (can use BTC address):

Hi to all! Please, a question: on october 25 my bitcoin were in an electrum wallet. How can I get my bitcoingold now? Thanks in advance for your kindly help

The fork was on October 24th.  So, if your coins existed that morning then you're looking at BTG.

You can use:
https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin%20gold/ - type in your BTC address to see if there is a balance.

As for getting them....
Use electrum to get your private keys.
Then get a coinomi wallet on an android device and at BTG.  Then sweep the addresses from the private keys you exported.

My suggestion is to move your BTC and BCH (if you have any) to another address/wallet first.
Never give your private keys to anyone.  That said, you can give it/them to me and I can claim/sweep and send them to your new BTG wallet address.

Thanks man

Looking into it now

[sqid]

Think I've located the private keys in Mycelium
Where do I put them in the coinomi wallet.    Into BTC or BTG?  

I've went to mycelium accounts  - Export - pin code -show private - copy clipboard

Then I've tried pasteing in both BTC and BTG but coinomi says "doesn't recognise format"
