Does the explorer block work for anyone? I checked some addresses that I know have coins and just say "Error search did not find results"

are you saying that the fake installer may have the same qt.exe?
The installer could have dropped the correct qt but it could have also dropped another special payload.

Exactly.
Why would I risk installing a copy of a wallet app just to check it for you.
The problem is that the installer that is NOT the official release, there is no way of knowing what else it may have installed.

Meaning.... it might have installed a completely legit copy of the wallet client, but along side it, it may have installed a JRAT (or any other remote tool) to gain access to your machine.

Quite simply.... Check the installer you used.  And, check your computer for viruses / malware, etc.

Another example.   This thread isn't even from the Bitcoin Gold team.   Download the client from bitcoingold.org

Same for a Bitcoin (BTC) client.  You wouldn't download it from some thread.  You download it from bitcoin.org



i used a virtual machine for the wallet no problem, i should be safe

is this checksum secure? 782d0615b309231d9ec243407972b57a978c2640e19673f6a575347d8c69f53d it's from the qt.exe inside the installer not the installer itself

can someone check this please

The correct hash is:
782D0615B309231D9EC243407972B57A978C2640E19673F6A575347D8C69F53D

So, you have the correct bitcoin-qt.exe file.

That said, you should really check the installer file.  Not simply one file within it.

If you still have the installer download, I would check that instead since it is the only known one to be hash checked.

Thank you

It's not working for me too. This is not the first time this has happened to the BTG web site, they should really get some more resources for there web site.
I sometimes use this web site to check if a site is down or if it's just my connection, http://www.isitdownrightnow.com , and it says "Btcgpu.org is DOWN for everyone."

And what exactly is wrong with me bitching about centralization wherever it rears its ugly head?

::sigh:: nothing.

Though I believe you are confusing the position enjoyed by a superior competitor in the free market with centralization.

A 70% market share in SHA256 ASICS and also have an interest in pools contributing to almost 50% of the hash rate for BTC and 90% for BCH? Oh no, that's not centralized at all.  I suppose by your definition, De Beers was only a "superior competitor" in the free market of diamonds, until recently.

Oh and as a side note: This DragonMint project does look promising. However, if it really appears as though it's going to cut in on Jihan Wu's turf, do you really think that Jihan is just going to sit idly by and let it happen? I'm sure Jihan will make every attempt to get his tentacles wrapped around that project.

jbear hasn't got back to our point yet? it was so good tho

I can't really see what there is to respond to.
- I know nothing about the diamond industry
- You seem to know nothing about the free market
- You seem to engage in conspiratorial flights of fancy
I think we've each made our positions clear. What's left to say?

You keep dancing around the problem of centralization. It seems dishonest. I know I'm but a simple vegetable, but still..

Not at all. I just don't understand your definition of 'centralization'. Any miner who wishes to is able to mine BCH. Indeed, pretty much all miners have mined BCH. The venn diagram of miners eligible to mine BCH and miners eligible to mine BTC is a perfect intersection. I'm not sure what you might be seeking? Some sort of coercive power that goes around forcing all miners to mine BCH, such that it become more 'decentralized' in your view?

As long as nobody who desires to mine is forcibly barred from mining, then the mining is by definition decentralized. At least as far as can be said for voluntary action.

No. You're being paid to lie. That's the only reasonable conclusion.

Perhaps the only conclusion of a simpleton. For I am not being paid to lie.
Why do you not answer my questions, which might serve to help illuminate where we are misunderstanding each other?

It seems that price have went through the correction already. Basically I came up with question if anybody here received e-mail from blockchain.info stating you can claim now your BTG ? I have received but there is no other way to confirm except asking or letting other know about this if this is phishing attempt to be careful.

Fake email.  It's not from blockchain.info
