Topic: [ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again - page 106. (Read 153294 times)

It is syncing meaning they have not catch up to the current height of the blockchain, we are around 497142, still about 2k blocks of premine to go. I'm just telling you that you should not look at that explorer to get the current block the devs are premining.

It's syncing, and its currently on block 445580, what is not accurate about this.  you used the same source as what I quoted from.

how do we know what block it's on now? i want to go to bed.lol

how can I access my btg?

does anyone have a link to news updates thats directly from bitcoin gold just clicked on the home page and its not working for me

This is not accurate, http://btgexp.com is still syncing...

can you share the source you used for the block count please?? so i can keep an eye on it lol

try https://www.crypto-news.net/bitcoin-gold-btg-hard-fork-countdown-clock/

dunno if this is accurate or not - looks like it will take ages

mining? 

444300

About 1hr 30 for last 40000 blocks, so expect to go live in about 1hr20 time

Anyone know what block they're on?

Now its working.  Guess had to let it sit a while.

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

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 ?

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

Is there a link to download BTG wallet for Win?

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.  

Is this real or shit coin? 

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

bitcoin-qt.exe -server
