So far none of the exchanges have come in support of BTG which is totally opposite the BCH fork scenario where some of the major websites have supported BCH lot earlier than the fork date.

I still dont want this shitcoin at cost of my BTC. Always remember if its not transparent enough better don't take the risk!

Some exchanges have but the shitty ones and I am not surprised. Honestly, this coin is going to end up even more shitty that BCC the way it is. Looking at their website, there is just only one single wallet available for it. It is still possible though that after the fork, we will see some wallets or exchange for it but until then, fingers are crossed.

Believe in Yourself, Do Magic, Be the Magic!

Personally, when Bitcoin Cash forked, i felt something good would get out of it comparing it with the segwit
But this Bitcoin Gold doesn´t inspire me much confidence so to say, i already noticed im not the only one around who feels that way,
Sit back and watch it unfold.

It looks like there is a scam within a scam - as in other opportunistic scammers are trying to set up a scam based on claiming Bitcoin Gold.

Check out this site claimbitcoin.gold - linked to from the "Bitcoin Gold" (@btcgpu) twitter account, but clearly a scam. It asks you to enter your private key or seed to "verify ownership" of the address you are claiming for lol.

That is incredible. Why is Twitter supporting a scam site?

Hi you, this is scam site.
You need check
1. site: https://btcgpu.org/
2. Twitter: @bitcoingold

This is most definately a scam, on one would ask for your private key, I mean absoultely no one !
I think this scam site is hosted by Namecheap.com and I've sent an abuse report to them, hopefully it will be down soon.

Why is Coinbase making false statements about Gold?

I can not yet say for sure whether this is fraud or not, but so far this project does not inspire confidence in me and I do not hurry to invest my money there. It is better to watch calmly for now.

if you bitcoin gold is called scam, then all alts are scam Grin

.. In my view its just tells cryptoworld is truly decentralized .. all source is open and anyone can fork and build community.. as long as community supports alt will have value.. nothing can stop or scam.

It is a scam, because they are calling it a fork of Bitcoin and they have included a premine. It is just trying to fool others and profit from the Bitcoin name. There are other alts with no bright ideas who have raised money through ICOs, but at least they don't try to misuse the Bitcoin name.

Scam or not I'm not supporting it anyways. I really don't care about their goals either. Apparently they want to decentralize mining but I'm not sure if this is the right way to do so, not to mention if it will succeed. Yesterday coinbase announced that they won't be supporting it. Another reason to stay away.

Scam or not does not affect whether or not we get Bitcoin Gold, so I do not think support is a prerequisite for exchanges having the balance transferred to users. If you support it, then you can open a wallet and host trading pairs for it. But if you do not support it, the fork happens regardless. So Coinbase can say they will not support it but if they are keeping the Bitcoin Gold from their users, this is something else.

Anyway, since when is what Coinbase does another reason to stay away from anything?

It may not be a scam in the end. But since it is using Bitcoin and just added another word for it to become another altcoin altogether, it will probably end up with the same fate as Bitcoin Cash. Why don't they just create an entirely different altcoin and project? This copying will definitely brand them as another shitcoin. But I hope I will be receiving free BTG just the same.

Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin gold are worthless scam coins. Just another money printing machines for scammers.

Coinbase is claiming that the Gold fork has already happened. Not sure how they know this or think this but if true then the Gold team has lied to everyone.

It is not secret that coins were premined. So there is no lie about it. We know coins already exists. 25th is release to the public (as the article says).

It will be listed on Yobit. I think it is best for the space that exchnages show no interest in this project, if not we will be having one BTC fork per week, just look at the recent Airdrop madness with the tokens having no actual use case

Haha exacly.

exrp, eiota, edash, eclassic, emonero...

For me BTG has the same value as all above - none. I'm not even sure it'll pomp like BTH did...
