Reading these posts, I begin to understand why BTG is down 37% on Bitfinex now, and was down 44% a little earlier. Just a rough launch, I take it.

What a nonsence with BTG from the start, and now new issues. Cant believe dev team is so butter-fingers. Their only target was the money, it is evident now.

The Bitcoin Gold team is currently having difficulties bootstrapping the $BTG blockchain. Once these issues are resolved, #BitcoinGold will become available to all #Coinomi users who will then be able to store, send, receive and trade their BTG without any further action.

PLANNED or just incompetence, I think I said all along it would take weeks to download, as its not a download, the entire block-chain must be recomputed and reformatted.

Their current FORK from 491407 to 499407 is 8000 blocks, at 10 min, interval that be 55 days, that from OCT25  (first fork date) puts this BITCH ready on XMAS day, ... do U get it??

[size=30pt]I said all along this BITCH would not go live until 2018.[/size]

So it would seem that Coinomi did not have their own blockchain to work from, and are waiting for BTG team to provide a bootstrap first...

Hope that's not the case for the pools  Shocked

I'm syncing my wallet and funny is that sync seems to be slower that devs mining their premine.

btw, I'm here so far:

Code:
./bgold-cli getinfo
{
  "deprecation-warning": "WARNING: getinfo is deprecated and will be fully removed in 0.16. Projects should transition to using getblockchaininfo, getnetworkinfo, and getwalletinfo before upgrading to 0.16",
  "version": 150001,
  "protocolversion": 70016,
  "walletversion": 139900,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 401127,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 5,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 163491654908.9593,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1510514787,
  "keypoolsize": 2000,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications"

As you can see, devs didn't care about removing that crap too much.

edit:
Also mining proxy is ready, lets see if I can get some on my own before devs end premine (if I can get to 100% of blockchain lol)

show the getblockchaininfo, that's what counts your current  block, top block, and your verification progress

I have been reading the post since the mainnet live starts and hahaha. I guess its better if we give it a try, I mean who gives a ***K if we waste "lets say a day or so" for mining, atleast we tried. If bitfools is right, then thanks a lot mate for passing the concept to us!

Jack Ma said

"It doesn't matter if I failed. At least I passed the concept on to others. Even if I don't succeed, someone will succeed."

hell i dont know who is Jack Liao and Jerry hahaha, Jack Ma just came into my mind!

Good luck!



Jerry  Lewis was a comedian from 1950's, and spent his retired years helping retarded children, and created the "special olympics"

Jack liao, has done the same, by off-shoring the dev of BTG from CHINA to Bulgaria, Jack has help retarded convicts in the BULGARIAN gulags learn to clone bitcoin.

Jack Liao is a chinese billionaire, who makes ASIC Hardware to mine bitcoin. He say's he now regrets making ASIC, and wants to redeem himself by providing GPU mining to the worlds poor, he also promises to castrate himself, as homage for his crimes of creating and marketing ASIC.

Plenty of new writers here Smiley

Many of those pools and wallet domains are registered for BTG devs. Premine, no solo, testnet. I would say this is "little bit" of suspicious.


*Continuing eating popcorns
They stated 7pm.. so they got about 30 minutes to get there Block 499407 and start hashing on our favorite pools  Smiley  lol not sure where we are now... block

The first pool most likely to except shares will be of course the BTG Gold Pool... naturally



They stated 7 UTC time. It was more than 4 hours ago...
Ya I know I have read 2 version for the UTC time  but 7pm has been consistent  Huh

So is it still testnet? how will I know that pool.gold switched to real thing?

Have U ever thought about going there to pool.gold and looking for yourself?? Or do they still not empower bots?

If it's 'running' then its on TESTNET, if its waiting, then its WAITING for the block-chain to be 100% estimated time NOV 25, block # 499407

Is there any other source for the current block than http://btg.altpool.pro/?

I was scraping that to track progress, then it got stuck on 496,922 for 15 minutes and now the site's down…

Do U just post based on what you read in the 'news' or do you actually roll up your sleeves and get into the shit

I just read the news lmao

But after participating in probably 100 coin launches, most usually happen as planned. There are some bumpy launches however and this may be one of those. Most have been shitcoins  lol

No, this team is special, like "Jerry's Kids" special, like special olympics 'special'.

The simple fact that Jack Liao, can put his name on shit, and that the 'token' got banned in aug2017 in CHINA, and get shipped to Russia, where they put together a 'team' in Bulgaria, to re-package the 'token' as a 'bitcoin-clone/gold', is well historical.

In BTC history, I see this as some kind of turning point, where BTC development got off-shored to the insane asylums and prisons.
LOL! that's good  Grin is it that bad of code etc.

I just see it as another clone. But clones and or forks have done fairly well lately. Especially on the eth and equihash coins and even seeing Electroneum with Cryptonote.. so?

Who the hell knows  Grin
