btcgpu.org is down.

This is the second time that their website is down! At first, they said that they got a DDOS attack... But why is it down now? How hard is it to keep the website up?
I am a web developer, currently taking care of about 50 websites and it never happened in my whole career except one time when I was using a cheap hosting lol. This project is scammy, but still getting a lot of support from everyone. I was checking the BTG when I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/757jf4/here_is_why_bitcoingold_is_shady_and_a_scam_you/ I can't trust BTG.

The only reason there is any support at all is because people want free coins, they care about nothing but their bottom line. the nice thing is as I see these shills I put them on ignore so I don't have to hear them shilling other shitcoins in the future. Smiley

If Bittrex exchange support user receive Bitcoin Gold, it means Bittrex also accept Bitcoin Gold and will list it on their exchange. There are many exchanges do not guarantee list Bitcoin Cash in past time, but after support user receive Bitcoin Cash, these exchanges also listed this coin (Poloniex, Bittrex).

No it doesn't, stop making shit up, welcome to ignore.

Here is the announcement from Bittrex:

All the Bittrex users will be getting free airdropped Bitcoin gold coins, but the trading facility will not be immediately available in the exchange. But at the same time, BTG futures have already started trading in some of the exchanges such as YoBit.

Bitfinex is introducing new Chain Split Tokens (CSTs) that will allow traders to trade on the the potential activation and mining of the Bitcoin Gold consensus protocol. We are designating these CSTs as BG1 (Incumbent Bitcoin Blockchain) and BG2 (Bitcoin Gold).

These CSTs will trade against BTC and USD pairs, initially without financing capabilities. Users will be able to create or destroy these new CSTs in any amount using the Token Manager located in the Order Type drop down menu of the sidebar order ticket, or in the menu at the top of the UI. Upon creation by a user, the BTC will be debited from the user’s account, and an equivalent amount of BG1 and BG2 will be credited. Users will also be able to reverse this process at any time, trading in equal numbers of BG1 and BG2 to extract BTC. Please refer to the Bitcoin Gold CST Terms and Conditions for more information.

These CSTs will provide pricing continuity through the Snapshot Event and, in particular, the order books for the BG2 trading pairs will become the order books for the Bitcoin Gold trading pairs. Bitcoin Gold will use “BTG” as its ticker symbol and carry a description of “Bgold” on the platform to avoid any confusion with Bitcoin.

How can btcgpu.org be off-line in the fork day... really?

Any signs of wallets for it yet?

It doesn't take a genius to figure this one out. Wink
