[ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again

[Pilgrim75]

Simple question.   Can someone tell me the address for the official bitcoin gold website.
I've read that bitcoingold.org was a fake AND then I read that btggpu.org was a fake.   Now if I type btggpu I get directed to bitcoingold??
Thanks for helping

https://bitcoingold.org/

Thanks for the quick reply

Another question:   I have my bitcoin in mycelium wallet now.   Do you think it would be more convenient to transfer them to the other wallet I have - coinomi - so as to separate the two coins more easily?
Should I do that now or later?

As far as I know this will happen when btg gets launched on the main net.  Same time that you will actually see the coins.  

There is a testnet running at the moment to test whether the mining system works without problems.  From what I've read, it is encouraging.  You can test your miner on here but you will not get any monetary valued coins.  Only test coins.

The launch seems to be quite imminent but, cough, who can say

Is it me or does something feel "off" about all this???

Its not only you, its 99% of the community that has the same feeling about this :p

I'm totally new to this space but my thoughts are:

Bitcoin gold isn't a beautifully polished presentation with a glossy website.  People expect to see this as the de facto nowadays.   Without the glossy marketing people think that it must be a scam.   Often the best restaurants are mom and pop joints - maybe don't have the best location like McDonalds but they do have the best food.  Don't judge a book by it's cover, all that shines is not gold etc..etc

However, one thing for sure is that all most successful  scams - banking system, Clinton, pyramid selling always have the best looking brochures!   Maybe these guys are just trying to do something good and really are not into wasting their efforts on advertising.

This is the popular coin but with a lot of uncertainty... No exact date of mining started, and weird case is no mainnet wallet yet, but yobit have it listed?

Avoid the risk of losing your btc. 
There is replay protection, but why take a chance?  Before you do anything, move the btc to a new address you control. 
The BTG will still be in the old address; when the mainnet comes on line, you will be able to sweep the private keys from that old address, which has BTG but no BTC, into Coinomi.

I always treat any fork as if there was no replay protection and would advise everyone to do the same because then when a fork does happen without like B2X you will already be prepared and not do something stupid by accident.

I moved all my BTC to a paper wallet a couple of days before the snapshot and them moved them all back to my trezor a couple of days after so now all the paper wallet has on it it BTG and these will be transferred to the trezor after mainnet is active and trezor support BTG

I didn't think it would take them so long to launch the coin. There could be some missing deadlines, you can't figure out from the begining, but it is almost 2 weeks later and we still know shit.... Doesn't look good at all (if it ever looked good).

There is nothing wrong with excessive testing it is a good thing last thing you want is having to do a hard fork shortly afterwards like Bcash is having to do just to fix a issue that should have been found during a testing phase

Haven't seen that information before.  Where did you get it?


It seems that sewit2x has been called off for the time being.   Again, just a few people made this latest decision that affects millions of us.   We desperately need more decentralization.

I support core but would like some better way to be sure that they hear the voice of the bitcoin community

I think that bitcoin would be well served by merging with bitcoin gold (IF bitcoin gold works how it should do).   

Can any one explain to me how such a 'merge' would play out?

It's not really possible to merge but core could in theory use the work done here to change to PoW although its really highly unlikely to happen

Im supporting this project though as it makes a good real world test of what a real life PoW change is like

https://bitcoingold.org/ is the official site and https://btcgpu.org/ was the original address but now just redirects to https://bitcoingold.org/

It's only available on testnet right now so yes you can mine but anything mined is worthless and just used to get up and prepare your equipment and for mining pools, wallets ets to do tests last I heard mainnet was scheduled for the 12th but ive not seen anything official

[Luisjc69]
