[ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again

[ocminer]

Today, the start of mining and I think we can expect big differences in complexity. We can make good money on this, until most of people switch to this coin.

only testnet is launching today.. nothing more. and replay protection was actually implemented not by the "devs" themselves but by a bounty at github...

The replay protection was actually self implemented they didn't use the code provided for the bounty but still paid it anyway

Nope:

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/51#issuecomment-340508175

That comment refers to this github account
https://github.com/BTCGReplayUS/BTCGPU/

But it was this that was merged
https://github.com/shelvenzhou/BTCGPU

And as stated on twitter https://twitter.com/lightningasic/status/924910252243369984

250BTG (4.5BTC)replay protection bounty paid,  we will use own code .thanks UR support.1Nphe82XxmoJSyWa5KgzsDEHV328oWWzxP

Well at first they say they can't do it - then they say they don't have enough devs to do it themselves (https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/51#issuecomment-339287236) and then suddenly, after someone stepped in, they do it themselves AND STILL pay the bounty for the other dev worth 4.5 BTC ?

Wow.. They. they must be either super-rich or total idiots then, right ?

I can only go on what is stated and what I read I am following everything on github I was surprised when they paid in BTC when the bounty was for 250BTG i expected 250BTG to be paid when the network goes live the only thing I can think is that the value is expected to increase substantially and paying in BTC now was seen as a cheaper option

but either way $25k is still a nice bit of earning for whoever it was

This was the actual merge https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/109 I don't think its that they couldn't do it since the PoW change was much more complicated but more due to the time scale before launch and was seen as a necessary precaution to ensure all work was completed on time

The way I understand it, they didn't give 4.5 BTC, they gave '4.5 BTC worth' of premined BTG (which they have in essentially unlimited supply). Right?

Not quite there is still no way to "sell" the premine yet and yes when the network launches a small amount may be sold off to recover this but most will be still timelocked for 3 years and not able to be sold until that time and I wouldn't call it unlimited plus the premine is almost the quantity as the big miners on BitCash have accumulated exploiting the EDA (8000 blocks vs the 7524 blocks the big miners have expedited already)

Wait until mainnet goes live then import your private key into any TRUSTED wallet there are a lot of scams going round

Thats it to be safe though I would move your valuable BTC to a new address first and wait for it to be confirmed

Why the fuck BTG is supporting ASS SHIT pools and ASS SHIT wallets that people dont know? Why not support suprnova, ccminer? Why not support https://wallet.trezor.io  https://www.exodus.io/eden/ http://www.ledgerwallet.com ? You know.... the things that people familiar with. What is this fucking scam?

This is just nothing a nightmare for all people much hard to redeem their keys. I don't think this team capable to attract the big pool and integrate other secure wallet to build the trust of the people on them.

I am doing my plan is to mine on suprnova and use trezor if/when supported

While I agree that it appears that only third-rate services seem to be stepping up to support Bitcoin Gold, I think you have the relationships exactly backwards.

There is no way Bitcoin Gold can force any service provider (e.g., wallets, exchanges, ...) to implement Bitcoin Gold. Conversely, any service provider that wishes to can implement Bitcoin Gold at their option. Indeed, there is nothing Bitcoin Gold can do to prevent them from doing so.

Given that fact, it may be instructive to ponder why it is that only third-rate services are stepping up to implement Bitcoin Gold.

Most were waiting for replay protection first which has now been merged both trezor and ledger have stated this was a must and would not support until done the rest will follow suit

When is token transfer going to start? Any date already?

What is the trusted Bitcoin Gold wallet? I'd like to get my coins and dump it in Hitbtc. I think only their market is working now.

If you only want to redeem and transfer to sell then you could just use coinomi wallet I would still recommend moving your BTC to a new wallet first though

Can i reserve translation please?

Hello guys,

I am please to announce that Bitcoin Gold has been added to our site
https://www.crypto-coinz.net/
We are going to provide Profit Calculation and Network Monitoring for Bitcoin Gold.
Testnet is already syncing and historical and real time data will be available tomorrow.
Recommended pools for mining the Testnet and Mainnet are also already added.

Hope this helps the project succeed.

Congratulations to all! ICO looks very good. I think the project still will declare themselves

It's a mobile wallet not sure if it's on iOS but it's definitely on android and is getting a update pushed shortly to add Bitcoin Gold

You could just use the full client but seems a waste just to dump

I think this chart says it all. BGold seems just sooo unnecessary, just a jump on the fork-hype-train.
