Wallet -      This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications

what does this mean? I thought the official bitcoin gold client was all we needed?

[zhulick]

how many premine blocks are done already ?

i remember seeing a couple of hours back that something like 2000 out of 8000 was done, so i figure we should be getting pretty close to the 499407 block by now...

Current block is ~421000... Premine ends with block 499407...

That is much more than 8000 blocks

i've been looking at that same block explorer, and it looks like it's a bit behind, and is still catching up.

Ah ok, seems it is syncing...

[adaseb]

These geniuses couldn't of just put all their premine in 1 block?

[George1069]

All pools are currently down. No new blocks received in last 15 minutes.

For anyone stuck syncing their wallet. Create a runme.bat file in the bitcoin gold folder using the following, then save as a .bat file and run

Is this real or shit coin? 

[earldd]

Your assessment of the decentralized mining is completely wrong. While I agree that bitcoin classic is too centralized, especially in low-energy cost countries. Bitcoin cash strikes the best balance and another fork of the bitcoin chain should not be advices. Also we do need big miners behind the currency so non technology investors will participate.

Tl;dr thank you but no thank you

Unfortunately, big miners screwed bitcoin mining decentralization.  Small miners like me cannot compete and will be forced to use expensive equipment like Antminers just to keep up.  

In fact, Bitcoin Cash mining is even more centralized than Ethereum mining.  

Experimenting with this BTG.  If this works out to be very profitable, Ethereum miners like me can shift to BTG.

For anyone stuck syncing their wallet. Create a runme.bat file in the bitcoin gold folder using the following, then save as a .bat file and run

Is there a link to download BTG wallet for Win?

You can find the wallet download link here https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

just want to make sure i understand something correctly.

this is a fork... and as a fork (once we hit the magic block that ends the premine) the first block(s) will be high diff, basically the same diff as the current bitcoin blocks and are probably going to take a while to find.

then the diff should come down as the network adjusts etc..

right ?

Still no change...  Getting connected to nodes doesn't seem to be the issue.  No blocks seem to download while connected to them.
