It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency,
since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site;
Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in -
your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency
so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
The project has the potential to transform finance into the involvement of people around the world who are otherwise deprived of their rights from the banking system. In other words, people in remote areas will have access to send money to each other as long as they have feature phones featured.
Download a full client from the latest version of Bitcoin Core
Load a network copy (bootstrap.dat) to decrease syncing time or wait until client is fully in sync with the main network.
Compile and run Bitcoin Gold (Bitcoin-qt) from a terminal prompt on Ubuntu OS or virtual machine with Linux installed (See build-unix.md, libsodium 1.0.14 to solve dependency issues).
Backup network data from the main chain using the option -datadir=(Bitcoin data) or copying folder contents into the Bitcoin Gold data directory, wait for blocks to fully load from file.
Code:
bitcoin-qt -datadir= -daemon -rpcport=8332
Invalidate block of the first block on the mainchain after the hard fork to switch to the Bitcoin Gold network (block 491408).
I got the qt wallet client running on linux with low connections, after get the original chain data onloaded it may be possible to start moving some more blocks, pools should follow soon after for either this version or the original proposal. My node ip is 118.172.109.106.
I would love to help raise awareness for this. It will be a powerful message to groups that try to wrestle control over bitcoin. It's a lot harder than they think.
A client which may fork a non-existing (yet) network. wow. A lot if rumors that btcg is a scam, and without a premine what interest will devs have to support the network? Zero!
It will be up to the miners to decide what client to use. If 51% of miners use the no-premine client, there will be no premine for Bitcoin Gold.
FAQ
Q: Is this a fork of Bitcoin Gold? A: No, it is an alternative client. If 51%+ (majority) of miners use the no-premine chain, there will be no premine. If the majority of miners want a premine, they can use the premine chain and get a premine.
Q: Why should miners want a premine in Bitcoin Gold? A: Use the premine chain if you want developers to get a premine. Maybe it will incentivize them to work on the chain and make it more valuable.
Q: What if I try to mine blocks with the no-premine client, but more mining power wants a premine? A: Your mined blocks will be invalid and forked off the main chain. The same is true if you try mining with the pre-mine chain and the majority wants no-premine.

well they are using Equihash, so how hard is it to use what Zcash has already done--not like they are recreating the wheel. Even the same Equihash miners will work for Bitcoin Gold. Instead of a premine they could take a certain percentage of the block reward for every coin mined--like Zcash did.
I do not quite understand, due to what your algorithm will gain popularity? After all, fork developers will propose their option - and it will be adopted a priori.

What is the actual purpose of this thread? Everyone knows Bitcoin gold will not get much attention apart from getting free coins to dump if there are suckers to buy it.
