BEWARE Fake BTG Wallets Flooding Market

[dunfida]

Where did you get this info?  is a good warning as there might be ARE hackers trying to scramble for every penny they can get a hold of

This is good advice.

Any downloaded "wallet" that gets access to your use of the blockchain is a obvious threat.

absolutely. i've been watching newbies flock to download malware when altcoins launch for years now. it never ceases to amaze me. at the very least, one should do a basic amount of research: the bitcoin gold team has an official website (btcgpu.org) and twitter. start there. cryptocurrency user or not, nobody should be downloading anything straight off the google search results.

there's already been a pretty widely circulated scam also: twitter.com/btcgpu is an imposter, and he's been sending people to a web site where users input their private keys to claim their BTG. it's clearly a total scam. this space really is a scammer's paradise.

Not actually surprising though since this online world do really have lots of scammers and they do anything as long they can able to make or get money from others easily.Most of them do really go with the flow of the trend which they able to see that they can able to fool specially newbies.This is one of the common times which they do strike and for us who don't have much idea at first will really be easily deceived on this one.This is why instinct and research will really always help you out specially when you are on a doubt.Its always suggested to follow the main site regarding on updates on the recent fork.

I think theymos will make a post about how to claim your BTG like he did with BCC

No, I won't. I consider BTG to be a cash-grab, not a serious fork. It doesn't have any ideology or major economic players behind it. I'm not going to make a big announcement and guide anytime creates a pointless little fork like this (which anyone can do at any time with no cost whatsoever).

I will make a guide for B2X, which actually has some economic support.

Thanks admin for the heads up! I'm quiet wondering why this Bitcoin Gold doesn't even give a buzz just like on what happened on Bitcoin Cash and not being posted above regarding on how to claim it. Now, I do know the reason which is actually true. This fork isn't really serious at all and regarding of B2X guide we would really wait up for that.This time would be the best time to secure some nasty amounts of BTC.

Back to topic: Public should really always be keen on the possible scam attempts in the surrounding yet those scammers will really make use of this event to victimized noob people.

Don't rush into getting your BitcoinGold if you had money on a private wallet. It is better to be safe than sorry, just wait out the initial craze. Its not worth losing your entire stack for a coin worth so little right now.

exactly be carefull

Thanks for the answer, I almost forgot about bitcoin gold until I encounter a topic about it.
I followed your guide when I claimed Bitcoin cash and waiting for the same thing for B2X.
For BTG I prefer not claiming it for the moment until things will be more clear.

segwit 2 should not be supported either

Why bother? BTG is also fake with the issues connected to it, Still it is a "free money" from BTG, I should wait for the right wallet (the famous one of course and supported and suggested by the bitcointalk community). I will wait if someone successfully redeemed their Bitcoin Gold then that's the time i will trade my bitcoin gold to get "free money".
