They STILL haven't released their software. There are currently NO visible transactions. That being said, they may just be stalling to premine it. Unlikely but possible.
They should really have got something sorted now but still not... With bitcoin cash, people coded it and bitmain and viabtc (among others) pointed miners at bitcoin cash nodes immediately. With viabtc venturing to mine the first block.

EXACTLY
They are definitely stalling for some reason, or they are severely lacking funds to put together a coding team that can get the job done. It's highly suspicious.
If that's the case then they should hand the project over to a team who can actually code something a bit faster.
The difficulty, I assume, is that they have to switch algorithms as they want to be "asic proof" which is literally impossible but they'll have ti change the algorithm to something that can only be mined on CPUs/GPUs and it'd have to be a complex algorithm so that companies cannot easily produce asics that are faster and more efficient than them at least for a while.
Then why would they fork so soon, when they didn't have a solution to what they wanted to accomplish??
They didn't activate the fork.
There was a protocol change in the actual bitcoin blockchain. This protocol change caused the split.
This was up to nodes and the core devs activating the new protocol to cause the split. Bitcoin gold did nothing to contribute to the algorithm change.
