Topic: Bitcoin GOLD - A well thought Scam? - page 2. (Read 18820 times)

We'll know in a few days.

I'm not sure what your point is regarding the blockchain having to be downloaded.  Duh, that's how all this stuff works.

As far as all those scam web sites, the BTG team has pointed those out many times.

If you really believe it's a scam I'll take any BTG you have since you apparently don't want it.  GeHxnrCk4uDYMutpwKXeAJXDKBbr3s8tP9

Hm... at least I can see Bitcoin SegWit2x will die over a period of time, it will become the Bitcoin Unlimited version 2.0, a quiet market, because no one wants to trading this coin until the SegWit2x project resume.

im not sure what the development team are doing or have
done differently and all the bitcoingold threads are full of
positive and negative posts.

Like anything its all about what the market dictates i am
Looking at its value and its gaining in the last 24hrs.

As above lets wait and see.

With CERTAINTY its a SCAM, its been researched since August 2017, all the players are scammers, the owners of all the associated websites BTG, BTGCPU, BITCOIN-COIN, are all part of organized ICO-SCAM ring.


The scammers who orchestrate this scam, aren't even writing the code, they're paying 'bounty' of shitcoin to people who write the code as needed, in effect that scammers didn't even have the resources in house to do a BTC CLONE, pathetic when you think how these people are giving professional scammers a bad name.

Fact is nobody would go work for a pump&dump scam operation, not being a real job, thus they just create websites and try to hustle people to work for free.

No way in hell this thing will be operational in 31 hours, right now target is 12NOV@1900UTC

Even if they release so called 'working code' it will take 4 days on average to download the blockchain, as you can't use the bitcoin --datadir=, or copy an existing, you must download and -bootstrap, because this bitch convert existing blockchain from 1mb to 2mb,

In effect even IF there is code it will take days for the POOLS to download and get the blockchain functional, people have been now -testnet mining on POOL.GOLD for 3 weeks, now -testnet mining on btg.suprnova.cc for days, reporting 800K Million sols/sec, which is BULLSHIT, most likely 800k sols/sec, but its all indicative of the fact that NOBODY cares that nothing works.

Solo miners too, once the main-net code is released must download the working block-chain ( convert ) and get it up before they can mine,

I suspect that internally at btcGPU ( bulgaria ) they must have already at the very least have a working block-chain ( its actually easy to enable main-net in the code ), its easy to get the seed-nodes,

But it might be 4-5 days after 12NOV before "REAL MINING" begins, if at all, I doubt code will be released, if its released it will be full of bugs and non-functional, and the team github.com/btcgpu, will fall back into excuse mode and blame DOS for their incompetence, as they have done all along for 2+ months.

Nobody can say with definite certainty that if this all was a pre planned scam to loot us. But the way things are turning out and the fork getting cancelled it surely looks like that this all was preordained.

What do you mean by "died". They are no longer on the market? Yes they are, they are as volatile as BTC is (more or less) and some of them are not even created yet. Look back a few years ago when there were only 30 cryptos on the market. 1200 (aprox) more are on the market today and only a few really died (scams), not counting the tokens.

Crypto market is a live and selfsustained market, a intelligent entity although it has her own dead and newborn children.

Bitcoin SegWit2x didn't died, it was cancelled or postponed. Devs didn't say "it will never ever gonna be implemented"

Bitcoin Gold looks to have a positive feedback so only time will tell if it is going to be successful (my bet would be yes only if it won't be a pure scam). You need to take into consideration that as soon as Gold will be most profitable coin a lot of miners will back it up. Of course I doubt it will replace "true" Bitcoin, still IMO it will be valued above a Bitcoin Cash. I guess first answers to this puzzle we will receive as soon as tomorrow with Bitcoin Gold releasing itself to the miners. I'm crossing my fingers...

After the latest improvements to bitcoin gold from its development team, I changed the opinion of this coin for the better. It seems to me that this coin will have a future, especially if the efforts of developers continue in this direction. Therefore, I do not think that bitcoin gold is a bad forgery. However, let's see what happens next.

Of course it is scam? but speculactive, It can make x2-x3 form this price now. After 14 november it will be purchased on popular exchanges , and network started .

You get money for free (fork/airdrop/ec) to HODL. Why dump in the 2nd second (ha!)? Just to pay taxes and fees?
HODL that and if the project is successful you will get your cut! It is free anyway!

You are right fedor3327
It is even like putting the bitcoin reputation down.
Mastered this bitcoingold plan for scam,

I strongly believe all the cloned coin of Bitcoin will never stand for a good profits and not good for future.
It is built strong to get some fall, we need to know the loopholes still pending to analyse its strategy.

I dont know you guys, but Im dumping my BTG as soon as it appears in my wallet.

~$4bln market cap for a new brand new project... Im sorry, but there's no change of this go up.

Just remember that Litecoin is only worth $3bln.

Looking at the price of btg it does seem like a pump and scam. I dont know tbough and im pretty sure i wont be mining this coin if it ever hits main net  alot of byoe surrounding tbis sht coin. And i really dont believe its a legitimate project at all. Lets hope it works out for all the people invovled and miners tbat are looking forward to mining this so called bitcoin gold.

Bitcoin Unlimited died, Bitcoin SegWit2x was also died => Bitcoin Gold died too . Only Bitcoin Cash can keep high price after forked from original Bitcoin. As far as I know, all cloned coins from Bitcoin never have good future, only Bitcoin Cash is an exception.

Seems to me this is all wrong.  The theory that they are scamming is based on this email address registered to NOT BITCOIN GOLD's DOMAIN!!!!  The real link is this bitcoingold.org not bitcoingpu.org so the real look up is here not the one originally posted.  https://www.whois.com/whois/bitcoingold.org
I can't say whether or not bitcoin gold is a scam.  I can say their CEO is a well known public figure though.  My guess is the OP stumbled upon the wrong website (probably setup by a scammer trying to phish).

They stated that this will be the main purpose for the BTG.
Everyone will be albe to mine using his/her own computer as we did with BTC backthen....

I just hope it's profitable to mine.  It would be nice for AMD to have some competition from Nvidia.

I also think so, because I read a lot of news about BTG. they work hard to make sure it works.
 If in say scam I'm not sure. they also accept fraud issues

Thank you for this post. But I think I still have to do some research about BTG buy honestly I still think it's promising even after reading this.

I agree and on top of that the guys from the BTG team are working hard to get things done.
I think this will be a good Altcoin to mine and invest into once everything settles.
