Hi, guys!

Just want to make a podcast for my blog: howtotoken.com about bitcoin gold hard fork. I researched this theme for a while, asked questions for developers in their slack channel (https://t.co/bEMhsWn4Nx) but I still have a lot of questions, hope to find an expert or help of community to answer the rest.

So here, that we have right now:

• 25th of October Bitcoin Gold will make a snapshot on block 491407 (which is very close to 12:00:00UTC Oct 25th)
• BTG blockchain will start off being around 110GB, on disk
• At the period from 25th of October and 1st of November the Bgold team will test all the stuff in testnet
• At the 1st of November the mainnet will be updated and we could start mining Bgold
• The guys from Bgold had 16000 blocks premined (and it will be in mainnet)
• The reply protection doesn't implement yet

Here is an unanswered questios:

• How to explain Equihash for dummies? I just tried to ask Alex Biryukov, but there is no an answer yet. Maybe you could help to distribute this tweet: https://twitter.com/howtotoken/status/920749539652526083
• How premine technically possible? It seems the mainnet software will have a patch that will add this blocks to blockchain?

What else do you think will be interesting for podcast listeners on Bitcoin Gold hard fork?  (Follow the updates here: https://twitter.com/howtotoken)
