Is Bitcoin Gold (BTG) better than Bitcoin (BTC)? Why or why not? Is it like comparing apples to oranges?

It is apples and oranges, we are not a rival to BTC but we did fork from BTC chain.
- They use SHA-256 algorithm for ASIC only
- We use Equihash algorithm for GPU only

This means we do not compete for miners and also we will keep difficulty good for only GPU miners.
It is better for decentralized mining because how affordable video cards are, that was Jack's vision from the beginning and for all of BTG team, we continue to develop according to our roadmap. https://forum.bitcoingold.org/t/bitcoin-gold-roadmap-2018/208 Jan 15 2018
Mainnet stable since Nov '17 full replay protection since launch, full segwit support, LN integration in development now

Soon we will fork to invalidate all Equihash ASICs: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/network-upgrade-bitcoin-goldbtg-4502500


Check us out sometime!

The important thing is speed of transaction. Sending BTG is very slow, BTC is much more faster.

As far as I know if the delay means the transaction is very full and may also be miner of BTG the number is reduced, so everything seems slow.

Our average block find time is the same as BCH and BTC: 10 minute average, https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/confirmationtime-btc-bch-btg.html#log&3m
Our difficulty adjustment algorithm will improve the consistency of our block times which is even better, however according to the numbers our transactions take about the same amount of time and our transaction fees are the cheapest https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactionfees-btc-bch-btg.html#log&3m

Hope this clears up the misunderstanding!


Wide range of ambitions . wake up guys bitcoin gold - BTG is officially dead slow transaction and premined coins almost sold and dev team prepare for safe exit . for whom not bought BTG yet please stay away .

If that were true we would have sold at December ATH $400, we are 7 months too late for a scam. Also, most of the endowment is in timelocked multisig wallets: https://btcgpu.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/BitcoinGold-Roadmap.pdf (October '17 page 10/12) so it is impossible for us to 'safe exit' anyway.

Ignore all the trolls, we have been through quite a bit in our small existence and we will continue!
We are the same team since launch and only gotten bigger over time, still the same determination, ambition, talent and dedication as before, and our community has organically grown and just as dedicated.

Basically Bitcoin Cash is the only bitcoin fork that activately has good hashrate and maintains a good price.

Most of the other forks have all failed. People said that when some of these bitcoin forks hit a decent exchange like Bitfinex, they would go up in value and its not true since Bitfinex added Bitcoin Interest and that coins value is also very low.

It was all a fad that died off. Due to laziness I didn't take action and sell during the days where BTG was $400.

Right now at $25 a coin you might as well hold and hope it hit $100 again someday.

Why do such a stupid thing. Dont hold a losing position. Sell what keeps going down.

Without big grow btc, btg will not grow, becouse on bitrex make dump btg for that to get free btg ( Xapo ... free btg when was fork btc ) they wont to get a lot of free btg and start go up

Wide adoption is the big difference which make BTC superior than any other clone coins. If we follow the adoption rate than it is increasing and BTC has craze in new investors who missed to buy this coin when it was cheaper and this happening because of bigger community and big companies are showing their interest to show their support for this revolution while there is no improvement for BTG.

I deposited btg to bittrex wallet about 1 month ago. The bittrex wallet has been offline for about 1 month already. It says "Notice: Wallet Offline - Awaiting feedback from developers".
I was wondering if you can give us some information on this problem? How long do we have to wait?? Thanks!!

Bittrex has had our wallet disabled since the 51% attack in May, we are in communication with them but do not know when they will enable the wallet again. I hope it will be soon after the fork, many have BTG stuck in Bittrex! https://i.redd.it/uqmuq3splo311.png

The upcoming Network Upgrade will not only help Bitcoin Gold to stay ASICs resistant but will also serve as an incentive to other crypto projects to work towards building truly decentralized ecosystems.
Has your favorite Exchange said they're ready for the fork? If not, ask them!

Hear hear! Monero team set a good standard when it comes to resisting ASICs.
We have a list of partners who have confirmed upgrade here: https://forum.bitcoingold.org/t/hardfork-network-upgrade-progress/1703

Everyone upgrade your nodes and wallets!

why people keep going for the "bitcoin something", or the "Eth something", or "Ltc something"... all these coins are usually shit made by scammers that just want to cash in on the hype gained through the name...
Or do you think that with so many developers that Bitcoin core has, there would be bitcoin genious going loose on BTT forum and producing new kinds of better bitcoin??
you can count 1 in a 1000 of these projects that it is not scam...

Money is the main factor for what they are being created and there is no serious purpose behind this. Bitcoin is the only true innovation so that I also agreed with you there is just marketing strategy who used to create fake hype and let them buy on fake promises. Bitcoin has great team of devs that is why its leading.

Sirs we disagree, the reason for our creation was to fix the mining centralization of Bitcoin caused by ASIC hardware. This has already been demonstrated to be a very real issue: ( https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/06/23/bitmain-nears-51-bitcoins-network-hashrate June 23)
Our algorithm was switched to be GPU mineable(Equihash) allowing for a more decentralized mining effort. The main factor in this is price, GPUs are more widely available already and cheaper. These are facts.

Now that Bitmain created an Equihash ASIC, we are hard forking to invalidate them and be true to our original vision. ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/network-upgrade-bitcoin-goldbtg-4502500 )

We forked from the Bitcoin chain which is why we adopted the Bitcoin name, however we do not compete in any way with Bitcoin, our algorithm does not compete with theirs. We have also remained true to the 'friendly fork' label. We are not Bitcoin, we do not want to 'beat' Bitcoin.

We all have our opinions on crypto projects but consider this, were we a scam we would have dumped and exit in December at ATH. Instead,we continue according to our Roadmap ( https://twitter.com/bitcoingold/status/952979467667951617 ). It should also be noted that we were the very first Bitcoin fork to switch to a GPU mineable algorithm.

Cheers.

So what about those 388k stolen coins that now being dumped daily 10pm on Bitfinex? hah? care to explain scammers? Your coin is 95% down from ATH. Those 388k dumping on Bitfinex by 10k parts. Scammers gonna scam. Pathetic.

From the beginning since the emergence of coins that have no mission vision like bitcoin is just going to make a profit, the creators are very intelligent to make news manipulation where and almost everyone in the world crypto interested and eventually they lose their money. But if their money is redeemed to bitcoin it is a good choice.
