i like the idea of a gpu focused coin. i don't like the addition of the bitcoin name despite there being quite a few now.

they're also talking about combining the launch with an ico. if it's going to be a fork how on earth will that happen? i don't understand where the ico part can be shoehorned in.

i haven't checked the website since it was first mentioned but it was barely literate back then. i hope they've sharpened up their game a little.

Bitcoin Gold? What the heck is that? I've never heard of it before. Btw, on marketcoincap, BTG is assigned to Bitgem. 

Bitcoin Gold is a fork of bitcoin just like Bitcoin Cash. One of the notable changes is that they have changed algorithm to Equihash which makes it asic resistance and its a memory intensive algorithm. The idea is to bring back GPU mining plus some other changes.



don't we already have a coin that does the exact same thing and has segwit activated? bitcore (btx)

They need to check coinsmarketcap, cos BTG (Bitgem) is alive and kicking.
Can't believe such a large organisation would make such a mistake.


that is exactly what i was thinking! Seriously though, we don't need any more Bitcoin forks, this will confuse new comers...

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.


Good question what will happen to btc Holders?

Bitcoin fork time 1, Bitcoin fork time 2 ... how many time will Bitcoin fork in future?

as many times as it was also forked in the past. the numbers are countless as a matter of fact. the biggest one to this date was bitcoin cash and it was only big because they made a lot of "noise"

Hopefully not many. Each one could dilute is true value and confuse newbies.

why? Cheesy
each time they fork bitcoin they do 2 things:
1. give free money to bitcoin holders
2. prove what consensus of the majority means when their fork never goes anywhere after a year.

Will this affect the BTC wallets just like BCH?
                      I don't think so. It will only affect those who holds bitcoin(BTC), not particular but i have heard that there are certain exchanges or wallets that supports this fork. I am not also so sure to when will it happen, Oct 25 or maybe around November, there are also current updates that it wont happen, but that's I am not really sure of.

He is talking about the BTCGPU? That should not be BTG or else it will conflict with bitgem which uses that abbreviation.
This is just a prediction and there is nothing real about it. It was talked about a month ago and should have been forked right after the BCH fork. But I guess it loss its way and made it to somewhere else where there is no human being alive.  Grin

Interesting, so how many we will have in the end? 10? 100 bitcoin forks? Cheesy

I was thinking the same thing.  The Bitcoin Cash was somewhat successful in that BCH has some value, but at some point a fork will crash hard and hopefully these will die.  Any fork pulls value from Bitcoin, perhaps not a 1:1 pull but it does pull value away from it.  Furthermore, the only way Bitcoin and other cryptos will grow is by creating more demand but I think all these forks do is confuse newbies to cyrpto and thus lowers overall demand.

At what point does a fork become another alt-coin?  What differentiates an entirely new coin from a Bitcoin fork?

IT would be good to understand if "Bitcoin Gold" has anything to do with gold or if the word "gold" has just been attached to make it shine...

I'm guessing to make it shine..💎

I never heard this BTG coin. Can you guys please post an announcement thread so we can check - read their whitepaper and details?
If its equihash then its good for GPU miners. will make some profit but not sure if its listed in any exchange.

I found these two articles:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/suddenly-bitcoin-gpu-hard-fork-could-give-bitcoiners-more-free-money

https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/bitcoin-gpu/

I believe they currently have Bitcoin Gold on the DEX (Waves Decentralized Exchange). Just like how they have Bitcoin Cash when it first came out.
