Full chain

Bad news :/ How can you sync faster? Is there a way to download the blockchain until the hard fork?

You can use the -bootstrap option, and use the 'connect=' option pointing to your regular bitcoin client.


Any help on that? It loke lite it take weeks to sync to wallet! Sad

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
addnode=109.192.23.101
...snip...
addnode=143.207.67.209


I just put all of this in the configuration file except for the "bitcoin-qt.exe -server" part, restart the qt and it started syncing.

This worked for me too.

This did not work for me. I've tried the suggested method(s), on a Windows 7 x64 and a Windows 10 x64 PC and it still won't work.
During installation I selected different folder for the chain folder as the default location did not have enough space - could this be the problem ?

+1 my client is stuck "Connecting to peers...", I've tried copying over blocks from before the fork but I couldn't get that to work. To those that have modified the "configuration file" which file are you talking about exactly and what did you do?

Do we have a miner for the Bitcoin Gold?

Use ZCash miner software.

Suggest to use Claymore Zcash Miner for AMD cards.
For NVidia I currently use EWBF Miner Version 0.3.4b.

Others may have better suggestions. 

There is a Claymore Bitcoin Gold specific miner, at least that what is says it is (I don't see any difference between this one and the Claymore ZCash miner, other than the default config and epool files list BTG pools). I've tried it and it works fine.

Another ZCash miner:

Is the block explorer working for anyone?  I checked some addresses that I know have coins and it just says "Error search found no results"

So, is there an easy way to aquier the BTG now that there is an "official" wallet?

I had BTC in my electrum wallet.
Any hints?
And Its a good thing to send my BTC to a new addy, just in case right? then that key wont be exposed and my BTC should be concidered safe?


If you used the Electrum wallet to claim Bitcoin Cash after it's fork then use the same method to claim Bitcoin Gold. I have not tried this so I'm only going by what others have said has worked.

Some links below to how to do the Bitcoin Cash claim from Electrum:

So whoever was mining in pool.gold is fucked. And now they did a reset of the pool stats and request a screenshot in order to give you the coins we have lost. How the f are we suppose to give that, when you cleared the fucin stats?

So the only pool that is fucked is the official pool!!! Stupid devs

Where should we send this srceenshot to?
12hrs mining gone to shit. I had a few btg mined already, but got suspicious when stats stopped updating. Now I need to provide a screenshot ? To whom ? Their slack says "invalid invitation". Lol, amateurs.
And how to hell I must do this screenshot if nothing to screenshot anymore cause of balance reset?! This launch so f***ing messy...

You know what this reminds me off?

The launch of zcash. Everyone trying to get the mining software to work with some edgy batch code that would loop and restart the miners. This is kind of the same thing except the problem is with getting the damn wallet to sync and pools that are half-assed.
Its really can be called "zcash-style" launch, I guess the curse from zcash to btg was given through the algo...

this is the worst start of anycoin  in history,
i lost 200 bucks of hash during unannounced dev premine then offical pool takes my hours of hash again
i think my total lost is around 400 usd thanks to this great devs
Surely not the worst, This is how it goes every time, spread your hash about next time to insure yourself in these situations. Unlucky about your loss, try contacting the Dev of the pool, he may be sympathetic with you.
