Unfinished everything. This coin is a whole mess, and it is dangerous as it messes around with the BTC blockchain.

People should stay away from this. Big red warning sign!

As I've written in my newsletter earlier today, Poloniex and Wex (ex BTC-e) refused to add BTG. ShapeShift, Jaxx, Waves and Coinbase are against BTG too.
That Bitcoin Gold fever won't end well.

Do you have to claim BTG by a date like Bitcore?

or

Is it like Bitcoin Cash ....it simply is in snapshot mode to convert if/when you wish to?

thanks



Dude I have around .5 bitcoin in my coinbase wallet and I received a mail from the coinbase team states that they will give a bitcoin gold for the same amount bitcoin in the wallet. So I should receive the .5 btg right!
I do find the wallet for the btg option the wallet and option to check or something. Please let me what is the procedure to get the BTG from the Coinbase wallet.

Bitcoin Gold is a altcoin like the other cryptocurrencies  . It can not be revived like bitcoin, but if we hold it we can give it profits. this is accept by all big trading exchanges. Bitcoin gold (BTG) is good option in trading because this coin have big movement. many people give opinion after launch bitcoin gold BTG is big coin like as bitcoin but This coin could not leave his curse. Now in the market it is at its flame level. Hope will make its high in the coming time, it is going to be in the bittrex in a few days.

BTG promised wallets after the November 1. So let's see. I definitely will not hurry up. But as I get free coin why not?

I still don't understand if Blockchain.info will support BTG. Anyone with some intel on that?


Of course they won't support it, because of the security risk inherent in giving away all private keys to an unproven software system.

You will have to extract your own private key entirely at your own risk in order to particpate in BTG.

Blockchain.info is not exposed to that risk by offering support for Bitcoin Gold. As it is, Blockchain.info (the company) is not a custodial third party web wallet. They don't know your private keys. So they wouldn't be "giving away all private keys to an unproven software system"... they would only be allowing users to push signed transactions on the BTG chain in addition to the BTC, BCH and ETH chains.

However, I doubt they'll do it. I don't think the hype around Bitcoin Gold can sustain, and there's much less community interest in it (as far as I can tell) vs. Bitcoin Cash. Most people think it's "free money" (to dump for BTC) or they think it's a scam. I guess it's both.

 Yes .info are not themsleves exposed, but they take their duty of care to users seriously enough to avoid appearing to endorse a potentially risky situation for their customers.

The point being that Blockchain can write a routine by which users can claim their coins in a chain fork, but they have to actually take a further step in order to faciltate participation in a new chain which is effectively what BTG is.  The term 'Fork' is being used ambiguously to describe both a Chain Hard Fork, and a Fork of the Codebase to start a new chain.

When it will be happen? I just heard about bitcoin gold recently. If the scheme like when bitcoin cash born, I mean fork on November, who is hold bitcoin on their wallet will receive bitcoin gold, this is good chance for buying bitcoin when bitcoin get deep correction.
new things that I know about this, from the information in the forum that it is very beneficial apabla properly realized in the coming months, I am looking forward to this happen

How were you able to make money on it? I still have my BTC in my wallet and there is no BTG wallet. As written before I'd also not risk any transaction for that BTG scam coin to lose my BTC.

So, question remains, where is the "official" BTG wallet?!

I do not think there is any official wallet yet.

I doubt there will ever be an official BTG wallet, just a bunch of shady wallets trying to steal your Bitcoin. If you find one that seems legit just be sure to remove all of your Bitcoin from your wallet or sweep the keys into a new Bitcoin wallet before sweeping into the BCG wallet. I would also install the BCG wallet on a separate computer that doesn't have any of your wallets. This way your funds will be safe.
Exactly, that is a megascam. And now the other rotten marauders jump on the train.

I just can't understand the hype for BGold. Seems to me to be just an attempt to jump on the Bitcoin fork hype train.

Looking at this comparison chart it becomes clear to me which coin I prefere:



It's only got hype because anyone who held Bitcoin got a free coin for nothing and was able to make some money on it. But theymos the owner of the forum even called it out as a scam and he doesn't normally get involved in alt coins .
