I just don't trust these btc-folks any longer.  I managed to sell my bitcoin cash luckily and try to stay away from these useless folks.

Bitcoin Gold is not getting the attention that Bitcoin Cash received.  It will probably just end up being a cheap coin on low volume exchanges.  I also heard that there was a 200,000 bitcoin gold premine which was suppose to be used for an ICO but something happened and it's no longer going to happen. 

I was noticing the same thing. I suspect the recent drop of BTC is also due to that. Before BCH emerged, everybody was like 'wow it will become the new BTC!' and most people held their BCH until now hoping that it would have eventually replaced BTC.
Whereas with BTG most people say it's a scam and very few give it some hope. Anyway let's see but as someone said now it's probably not the best time to get in BTC.

I might mine this for a month or so when it comes out. I don't have enough bitcoin to make it worth claiming the free ones, but mining might be decent for a bit. And since this is called bitcoinxxx I think the price of it will be 3 figures, at least for awhile.

I am staying far away from this one, that's one thing I know.
Thanks for posting this.
I don't really like hardfork BCH, BTC gold or others. They are hijacking bitcoin holders. it is the short cut to spread the coins. I will never buy BTC gold. If I earn airdrop in my bitcoin wallet in exchanger, I will sell for free money. I don't like holding BCH or BTC gold in my personal wallet. Bitcoin is still the best for me. The price is going up every month. if the price will be 10000 I think no one will care about BTC hardfork like BCH or BTC gold.

Gold actually has a somewhat real web site FINALLY.

http://btcgpu.org/

Ah! some official news at last, or am I just late for the party Smiley
One good bit of news gleamed from the web site is that they say that they will be publishing guides for retrieving BTG from wallets, including Bitcoin Core, Electrum and Mycelium.
I've my BTC in Electrum so this is good news for me.

Yes bitcoin gold is very good thought and many people get confused to it. As like bitcoin popular I think bitcoin gold will also get popular in the people. It can be said that I well thought scam because there is fluctuation in the overview of bitcoin gold. further more bitcoin gold is very difficult to make a place in this saturated market.

SegWit2x is a factor too, not just Bitcoin Gold.

Scam or not does not matter to me. I will take the free coins from the fork and dump them for good old BTC.

Free money is free money for me. No need to worry.

Yes, so many people want to do the same thing. You are not alone, after the hard fork, we will buy alts again, altcoins will go to moon again.

It is bad to buy BTC now because people think that they will get free BTG.  But if you buy BTC at $5800 and after hard fork it dropped to $5000 then you lose... unless btg is priced at $800 a BTG
Exactly, its stupidity to buy BTC now. People will lose lot of money when BTC come down crashing. I might be a flash crash to $3400-3600 and then recovery to ~$ 4200

My thoughts too. I was toying with the idea of buying more BTC to get more BTG but, like you said, BTC could drop soon after the fork and if BTG is worthless then I could lose a big heap of cash.

I think it'll go the same route as Bitcoin Cash. Another useless fork.

I'm beginning to realize now that this is the point. Part of me thinks that it was even conceived/bankrolled by some of the #NO2X folks. Someone had an interesting term for what they are trying to achieve: "fork fatigue." Basically, we see fork after fork after fork (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Segwit2x), and with each fork it seems clearer that the resulting coin is an altcoin. Not Bitcoin.

So, my thinking is that Bitcoin Gold is being launched to weaken the mandate of Segwit2x, and to make it appear foolish. Here's to hoping we can get some free money out of it. Tongue

I do not think so, but I am not sure if they will be stay in the market in a good position though.
It's just another plan to get more Bitcoin for pretty much nothing. The only thing that I like about Bitcoin Gold is that more people will have to store their coins in order to get it.

Hmmm all I heard so far is not that good news for BTG. I was very curious about this hard fork. All i was thinking was "not another bitcoin hardfork"

Things getting to slobby and peoples going for a big laungh on that.

What's their point? GPU mining? Yeah well this one was done by e.g. Bitcore long time ago.

I think this is just a marketing foul. After that hardfork some bags will be fullfiled even more than before.

Well the idea of making Bitcoin GPU mineable again has some merit but I'm not sure that alone is enough to justify it.  Bitcoin is pretty unstoppable, at least for now.

Bitcoin Cash might actually have a lot more legitimacy when compared to Bitcoin Gold. Bitcoin Gold (Not that I am implying that BCH is any more legitimate than BTC). Bitcoin Gold is the same as Bitcoin Dark, Bitcoin Plus and the countless of Bitcoin soft forks out there, except that they are trying to use the upcoming (potentially) hard fork in November to generate news and price.
