Topic: What You Need To Know To Get FREE Bitcoin Gold During The Fork. - page 6. (Read 16067 times)

I am not seeing any difference in what is being said prior to the period before August 1 fork when the uncertainties was even high and panicking was the order of the day but at last everything happen so easy. That now even most repuatbale wallets and exchnage sites supports BCC and if you want to claim now, its one of the easiest so far you have you private key or pneumonic phrases with you and you are good to go.

what if i have "all" my BTC in an exchanger? what will happen? if the exchanger will not support it it means i wont get any btc gold? (still don't understand why the need of a second fork)

Definitely do this, when people were trying to claim their Bitcoin Cash I saw many threads about people just putting their private keys into these wallets and websites to claim their Bitcoin Cash and not moving their existing Bitcoin out and were just lucky that nothing untoward happened.

Be safe and not sorry

So 25.oct is 100% confirmed date when snapshot of BTC value in wallet (for which we have private key) will be used for new currency? Do we have any reliable source?

Do we have any info about fork date in november?

I saw some articles about Bitcoin Gold mining - that it will not be ASIC but GPU... Does anyone know anything about this...?

Keep all your bitcoin in Electrum Wallet during 25th October as the 'snapshot' will be taken from here.. (or any wallet you control private key)
The new currency will not show up in your Electrum, you'll then need to claim it from a Bitcoin Gold Wallet. This can be done anytime after 25th.
Exactly like we did with Bitcoin Cash in August



No one can answer this definitively until it happens. If the last recent fork is anything to go by; bitcoin may dip again while the market wraps their head around the confusion (as it did with BCH) but it will certainly recover, and probably within a shorter span this time because people have already recently experienced a fork and they saw it wasn't the end of the world..




Yes it most certainly would. Another great reason to stock up on more Bitcoin! 

Anyway, I am glad that I am getting even more free coins. I am in no hurry to claim them. I am yet to reclaim the Bitcoin Cash coins which I got in August. But now I guess I will reclaim both BCH and Bitcoin gold together. I have placed an order for a Ledger Blue hardware wallet. I will be keeping all of my BCH and Bitcoin gold in that wallet, along with a part of my Bitcoins.

I am not a profesional Blockchain developer or Bitcoin developer whatsoever but in my own understanding and opinion I think Bitcoin itself doesn't need a fork or any kind of a split it just happen that when you need to change a block size of it there is a possibility that a split may occur meaning it is not 100% so even though the developers won't want it to happen but they can't do nothing because a chance is a chance even it is 0.0000001%

They are all doing this for a better good because Bitcoin needs to upgrade just like IOS, Windows OS, Linux etc. and moving forward is not always perfect it will tackle different kinds of problems along the way but when the trial is done then it will make Bitcoin stronger more than ever.

When I look at these alternative projects I realize we are becoming like the ones we were supposed to replace. We are introducing the rules of the financial world here in the crypto world.
Creating wealth from nowhere, the new crypto elite creating money from nothing.
Money is money, right?

Can someone explain why you wouldn't sell all your alt's, have everything in Bitcoin on Oct. 25th, and then once the fork happens and you have BTC and the new Bitcoin Gold, redistribute the money back to what you had before.

What am I missing? Isn't whatever you are getting in Bitcoin Gold essentially free money? Why not have everything you own in Bitcoin that one day and then you can sell it off as you see fit, including immediately selling the Bitcoin Gold back into Bitcoin or other alts?

As the other fork happened, this one will also follow that trend, and the price of the bitcoin gold will keep going donw, unless there are serious players and whales supporting this coin. BTC is the original one, and nothing can change it!
I agree with the part to wait until late November to extract your new coins, because before that there might be a lot of fakes just wanting to rob your crypto stash. 

Which happens to be the max supply of LTC, 21m * 4 = 84m. So far 53m are in circulation.
This supply dillution might create equal prices for 1 LTC == 1 BTC talking fifty bucks.
When that happens we are dead.

Is this another free money just like bitcoin cash? I would love it if that's the case.

Can somebody guide me how to mine the new bitcoin gold. Preferably on iOS, is it possible?
What would be it’s expected price, how many can be mined daily or monthly?

Yes, I guess you are correct and it may even go as far as mid to late 2018
at this rate. Next we will have Bitcoin Plutonium and Bitcoin Latinum.



IMO, it is predicated on a false belief that chain splits is a form of Bitcoin
"evolution" and an economic determination by "survival of the fittest".

This is incorrect and is a misunderstanding of evolution and how it essentially
works. Economic participants in our community have taken a scientific theory
and applied it to chain splits and think that it should function just as in the
natural world does, with viable branches and nonviable branches. But it never
will determine such, since evolution is based upon the human's inability to
control or manipulate nature and time, and their Bitcoin evolution theory is
fully manipulated by human markets owned and controlled by human
governments. So, they are totally different and will not work as they think.

In nature, when a new trait develops that may overtake in the future, that
advanced trait development is usually due to external environmental effects,
not randomly for no purpose (majority of the time). But the current Bitcoin
chain splits are not from a result of "genetic capturability" or "external threat",
but solely for belief in "more choices".

New Bitcoin chains developing as a response to internal conflicts is not a
correct evolutionary theory, and the evolutionary theory should only apply
with external threats. All internal issues or threats should be dealt with
through Consensus systems like an organism's immune system. Using
evolution theory for Bitcoin's current chain splitting, IMO, is obviously wrong
and has nothing to do with "natural evolution", and more to do with human
desires and egos.

So IMO, all of this is either misguided economic participants or attackers
who are manipulating the misguided economic participants.

Because those forks produce doubts about the bitcoin scarcity. If their name were not related to bitcoin it would be fine, but now some people will think that there are 2 kinds of bitcoin (21 M * 2), and that there will be 4 by the end of the year (21M *4). There can be only 1 true bitcoin but those alternatives  produce doubts.

I like to know this as well

Okay so if you keep bitcoin on electrum, then you are fine right?

So the bitcoin gold will be in your electrum?  I'm confused here.

Also does that mean bitcoin will drop down in price due to this?  Do you have any idea how much bitcoin gold would be worth about?

So basically keep bitcoin in the same place as in the last fork and you will get bitcoin gold?

If there is going to be bitcoin gold... then wouldn't it make sense to buy a lot of bitcoin now or right before the fork?  That way you get free money since you get the bitcoin equivalent to bitcoin gold?

You might need to know first where freebitco.in stands before the fork. You cannot just assume yet they will do the same thing they did the last time. If they state their intentions and will be willing to give users the other side of the chain or convert to btc like they did last. Good! However,  I will advise you make use of a decentralised wallet instead, so you can at least be in full control of your funds.

If I'm not mistaken it's a.k.a Bitcoin GPU here's their thread here on forum https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoingpu-btcgpu-forked-spinoff-new-pow-adjusting-size-cap-segwit-2133536 and I'm not sure if this is their main website http://btcgpu.org/ and it contains nothing but the date of the fork on October 25.

Just like bitcoin cash hard fork, no one can tell on what approximate time this upcoming fork will happen so just be ready and prepared.

What about people who have not yet claimed their Bitcoin Cash from the bitcoin wallets yet, will they be able to claim both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin gold after the fork, from the same wallet? With same private keys?
Or is it better to extract Bitcoin Cash before the fork?
