where we can start mining this coin?

"The bitcoin gold development team has announced that it is adding support for two-way replay protection ahead of the network's expected launch.
Bitcoin gold is a fork of the bitcoin network, created with the primary aim of restricting the use of specialized chips for bitcoin mining through a change in the code. The effort is backed by an open-source community of relatively unknown developers, as well as LightningASIC, a seller of mining hardware based in Hong Kong."

In theory, Bitcoin Gold has similar base of users (owners of coins) and a more decentralized algo. It could rise, and then people will start saying (yea, I should have predicted that!)

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.

Very suspicious actions

but to date there is or isn't there a wallet that can handle bitcoin gold and send them to an exchange? I would like to sell them right away!

not another time or??

omg ....where we can create a BTG wallet without problems?

SCAM!!!  STAY AWAY!!!!

where is the official wallet? and the mining pool? this coin is messed up lol, no istruction for anything, i don't trust the wallet that are online i want to import my privatekey like with bitcoin cash

Indeed in short term for taking profit this is good choice but in long term it will remain just altcoin nothing promising with this. I sold my coin very early because of bitcoin I want to keep my everything into this king of all altcoins.

It had some rise, for now. But in the long run, not looking very promising at all.

Bitcoin Gold is listed on binance.com
https://www.binance.com/trade.html?symbol=BTG_BTC
deposits are still disabled.

I need to know when a wallet comes on line that will let me import private keys.  Anybody got some info about this and about block explorers?

Another Bitcoin? again?..   

I am not sure on biitrex will be adding bitcoin gold, only yobit exchanges add it
not much exchanges will list this BTG

How to start mining ? 

There is no 200k premine it's 100k and some is being paid out now to the community as a bounty for helping by submitting code and to pay the other developers working on the project with the rest being timelocked for 3 years

And as for being honest they just payed out about $25000 to one person that took the bounty for replay protection even though they didn't use his code just because it met the requirements

Bitcoin gold just update his status about  Replay Protection fully implemented and about public testnet that will be launch in few hours.

Bitcoin Gold Daily Update – Replay Protection fully implemented

Nov 1, 2017 | Development

In order to ensure the safety of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin Gold has implemented full replay protection, an essential feature that protects users’ coins from being spent unintentionally.

Bitcoin Gold has just implemented a solution called SIGHASH_FORK_ID replay protection. It is an effective two-way replay protection mechanism that enforces a new algorithm to calculate the hash of a transaction so that all new Bitcoin transactions will be invalid on Bitcoin Gold blockchain and vice versa. This makes replaying transactions impossible.

What is a transaction replay?

In the context of a Bitcoin fork, a replay happens when a transaction is valid on both sides of the fork. So a transaction can be broadcast on both chains after the fork and be a valid transaction and confirm on both. This means that if you intend on sending coins on one fork, you could accidentally end up sending your coins on the other fork as well since someone else could take your transaction and replay.
What is a replay protection?

Replay protection is a safety feature that makes sure that transactions on one chain are invalid on the other chain, thus preventing transaction replay and the possible resulting loss of funds. Replay protection can be achieved in multiple ways; anything from having a blacklisted address or output type (e.g. if an output to address X is in the transaction, consider it invalid) to changing the signature scheme to changing the transaction format entirely.

About BTG

Bitcoin Gold is a community-led project to create a hard fork of Bitcoin to a new proof-of-work algorithm to make Bitcoin mining decentralized again. Satoshi Nakamoto’s idealistic vision of “one CPU one vote” has been replaced by a reality where the manufacture and distribution of mining equipment has become dominated by a very small number of powerful entities, some of whom have engaged in abusive practices against individual miners and the Bitcoin network as a whole. Bitcoin Gold will provide an opportunity for countless new people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations. A more decentralized, democratic mining infrastructure is more resilient and more in line with Satoshi’s original vision.

if you don't believe in this project then don't comment and if you have you btg then sell immediately why you  are bothering us

This is a weird coin that no news at all but supported by popular exchangers and mining pools... So, what is the status now? Can we start mining?
