Bitcoin Gold is a big scam and nothing else. They premined 200K coins to ICO it before the fork and yet no updates or software development is ongoing! People want to make money using Bitcoin reputation and name!
There are lot of posts on this topic, do some research!
I'm not doubting what you're saying, but how is it possible to premine 200K coins before the fork? That means the fork happened previously.
Also back onto what I was saying before, an algorithm change would require a hard fork so this isn't a fork of bitcoin it's a fork of a bitcoin coin that came from a fork - so three chains from one fork - though the second isn't active and neither is the BCG fork...
So this means that bitcoin gold is/was just another altcoin with no relation to bitcoin (other than the snapshot) - be nice if we could get a bitcoin gold fork though still - not sure who the bitcoin cash programmers were but they did a great job in comparison to this.
ALSO, I could find no official sources, but many unofficial ones claimed it was a scam.
