Hello,

Does anybody know which wallets plan to support the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) friendly fork on October 1st? And what, if anything, should be done by the user?
it looks like bitcoin gold will be a scam coin like bitcoin cash,
just waiting for the price to muffle

this is still better than bad ICOs with raise much money from investor. this BTC fork we can get it for free, if we hold btc.
i think you said scam that because you already lose your money when you bought bitcoincash at high price. thats your fault
i give you advice. dont try to do trading if you cant do it

Isn't it another fork just to earn some money with your current holdings? Any information about which exchanges are going to support it? Any official page that is written in readable english? Without that project will die really fast.
Yes it is though the exchange sites or so are not yet known so be ready free holdings in october 25 . It is manually on getting or claims the fork on a private keys or an private key app supported or a websitee

so bitcoin gold dev is same with bitcoin cash?? so should we invest ?? or just wait and see first  before buying this coin

why buy it? millions of people will get it for free. let that settle first.

i checked their website. it's big upgrade on the previously incomprehensible one that was there. they've also removed ico and premine talk but i've no idea how that was gonna work anyway.

let's see if they come through with anything. i wouldn't be buying bitcoin solely to get in on this myself.

Hello! and when the fork will be?

Fork will normally happen on the 25th of october, however there is not many information available.
For the moment no wallets and only 2 exchanges (yobit and ...) are supporting bitcoin gold.

Just checked the BTG repository (https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU), there are only 8 days to release but even the build is not working now. Do you seriously believe the fork will be released Oct 25?

Then see projects TODO: https://trello.com/b/P1rLw1G9/bitcoin-gold-todos
They even haven't time to do some long run tests Undecided What about stability and safety?

So it won't happen?

How can we get more information about it?

But I find it absurd that there are no clear info 8 days before the release

Who can still keep up with all these forks. I don't really see the need for bitcoin gold to join the party as well.






It is a free market, let the market decide if they want it or not, once there is a value given to it by exchange then the party will start, some people will argue this forks are even better then ICOs

i aggree with you. this fork still better than ICOs. let people and market decide the value with those bitcoinfork.
this event also good for original bitcoin value and maybe can break 6k usd each bitcoin this month. i hope it will

Haven't done much research, but I've heard that Bitcoin Gold have got their own premine already, so they have already ruined their own fork. If this is incorrect please correct me. I can't see it having any value over $100 and wouldn't be surprised it it's like $20 a coin. Anything can happen in crypto though, we'll see.

I think you should care about exchanger more than wallets. Though it was stated earlier you should keep all the money into wallets for which private keys are being held by us but it doesn't matter anymore. The exchangers are also safe place to get the bitcoin gold so you can cinsuder that one in first place. The list is big, but small exchangers like yobit, livecoin already published the notice that they will be ready for the bitcoin gold so you can think of them to put your money into.

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.
They promise that on October 25 it will be the same as during the tough fork on August 1. In each purse, where bitcoin is stored, an equal amount of the Bitcoin Gold coin is generated. Bitcoin on the day of the plug must be in the digital purse, not on the exchange, and not in another place. Therefore, to get this new coin, you need to wait a little.

Bitcoin Gold (BTG) developer team responds to recent wave of misinformation and baseless attacks:

http://btcgpu.org/btgdev-response.pdf

I read the respose and if true then this coin might have a chance.

However I think they need to postpone it further to make sure they do the coding correctly.

Its need a proper POW change and proper POW difficulty adjustment. Also definately needs replay protection.

My advice is to take the screenshot on exactly the same time as Segwit2X.

If everything in the btgdev-response is accurate, I agree with adaseb.  I believe it should be a no-brainer for bitcoiners that have embraced the resurgence of gpu mining as supplimental cash while waiting for btc hardware to become available.  I don't see it in any way hurting btc and as they call it a "friendly fork" because all they are doing is forking from the btc chain to clone a new currency having the shared history with bitcoin.  It won't pull any hash power away from btc like bch is doing.  It might effect eth and zcash but that will depend on profitablity like any other coin.  Ethereum marxist have no love the bitcoin maximalist, so that is what btg-gpu will effect as they go into their POS fork.  Eth doesn't want mining and they seem to feel the POS can't come soon enough, so gpu miners should oblige them and look to support this new gpu-btc. Since those are the 2 that are battling for  top dog in crypto, it make sense that btc users will enjoy the airdrop and at the same time giving a hit to  Ethereum.  The free market will determine the winners and losers.

I am not going to liquidate everything to acquire more BTC at these inflated prices so that I have more btc-gpu, but I will redirect my gpu hash to this coin once it is released and everything checks out.  If it survives it will be a worthwhile asset, if not then can always exchange it for more BTC.  Those shiny new asics are not free and isn't that why bitcoiners got back into gpu mining?

Just keep your private key in your hands and everything should be fine.

Indeed, nobody really needs this. To me i's just a gimmick to get more people to invest (more) in Bitcoin
Most will end up supporting Bitcoin anyway, as this is the real deal

It seems like this is the new craze, it used to be just making a coin, then make a token and now it is forking Bitcoin.
Given that Bitcoin Cash was quickly relegated to a 'big alt', I don't imagine that future forks will be any more sucessful.

I can see a few more forks, each being less successful than the last, until they are worthless.

While I do get your point, I believe you are wrong.
Bitcoin Segwit2x is the wannabe Present/Future/Real Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash did not have this claim, they admitted they are different and moved along. Now with the Bitcoin Segwit2x messing something up, forcing tons of forks, splitting the network into tens/hundreds of sub networks, the actual BTC or Bitcoin Cash will get the legacy of the "Real Bitcoin". Having the fact that most of the network supported Bitcoin Segwit2x and it got fucked up, I expect in this case Bitcoin Cash to get the crown and crash the other forks.
