What's this..? I see its trading on Yobit gone from 532 to 411 where it's currently at.
I thought the fork was next month?
No it happened a few hours ago. It hasn't prelaunched per say but it has distributed free coins so anyone who holds a private key for Bitcoin
the Yobit thing started yesterday about 25 hours ago. maybe more. and there was another small exchange that i have forgotten the name of and that already had BTG listed for more than 2 days and it was being traded at 0.04
BTC and before yobit listed it price went to 0.06
BTC there also!
it is actually becoming a common thing to create "future" markets!
i think bitfinex started this by adding BU (bitcoin unlimited) a very long time ago and still has the market despite BU being dead.
Hm okey, so I have private keys, what do I do with them to claim BTG?
you have to wait until they start mining BTG and release the software and the wallet before you do anything.
but you can move your bitcoin to a new wallet now so that you won't have to wait in the future when they released it and you wanted to claim.
I'm already seeing comments in altcoins discussion about people selling their BTG.
Unrelated to the sentence above: What you say doesn't make much sense to me...
