Bitcoin Gold Wallet fix.
For those of you still having problems getting the Bitcoin Gold wallet to sync I figured out why my wallet was not syncing, hope this helps some of you who are also having that sinking feeling
The "bitcoin.conf" file must be in the "chain" folder.
(1) Create the bitcoin.conf file and put it in the chain folder
(2) Start bitcoin-qt.exe with the "-server" switch, use a batch file for this, and put batch file in same folder as bitcoin-qt.exe (may need to run it as Admin).
Note: I tried the suggestion of combining the "bitcoin-qt.exe -server" switch with the bitcoin.conf file but it did not work for me.
Example BTG.bat file:
bitcoin-qt.exe -server
Example bitcoin.conf file:

EDIT:
If you are unsure where the chain folder is, or if it has a different name, then in the wallet select 'Settings' 'Options' 'Open Configuration File' (open with notepad) and add the nodes there and just select 'Save' and it will save to correct location.
