I'm trying to follow this.  You mined and you claimed coins from the fork? Are you using the virus version of the wallet?
Yes, i claimed coins from fork, then sent all the coins to one BTG address and used this address for mining.

version of the wallet .. yes, I saw the Virustotal triggering..
but I downloaded from the official site, who can be trusted if not by the developers?
(I thought so)
So I used the wallet "as is", trusting the development team.

what is the checksum of your wallet?

I could not answer right away, because for this, I need to open a computer, connect another hard disk and boot from it.
so.
hash of the wallet that I installed.
Sorry for the big images.

SHA-256 checksum - 53e01dd7366e87fb920645b29541f8487f6f9eec233cbb43032c60c0398fc9fa

MORE STILL MORE INTERESTING !!

If ONE SAME FILE is checked for virustotal.com - Different results are obtained!

If on virustotal.com
provide a link to https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/releases/download/0.15.0.1/bitcoingold-0.15.0-win64-setup.exe
then this result is obtained

ALL CLEAR !!!

BUT
If the SAME FILE is downloaded to your computer and upload to virustotal.com
we GET OTHER RESULTS !!!!!

(I downloaded this file today, right now. And it still contains viruses.)



----------------------
I already wrote about this in another thread

Dev why is your official wallet showing a virus?

I know there are false positives in a lot of QT wallets but this one is on Malwarebytes, first time I have experienced that.

Are you guys doing something to remove it?

This is the actual one hosted on the bitcoin gold website everything says its clean

The link you posted was created from a uploaded file from a unknown source there is  no way of knowing its origin
let me also ask.

I download this wallet on my computer at Nov 16, 2017 (from official site !)
Here is his analysis.

Today I downloaded the wallet anew.
Here is his analysis.

You do not know the origin?
Do you want to hint that users are fools or scammers?
Anyone can download this wallet to his PC and upload it to virustotal.com for check.

However, if I do NOT download the wallet to PC and check by reference, I will get ANOTHER result.
https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/6e7b2078df16062464410a99c6a6f687e87624083c59009e2f36c0b7069361a8/detection

Damn it, EVERYONE can check it out.
Are you trying to deceive the community?

WTF !!
What's going on here ?
Why is the same file being checked in different ways, different results for the same file !

my suggestion:
For analysis by reference, one file is provided, and for users, another.

P.S.
all this is very sad, and undermines confidence.

Where the world is going. Why you can not work honestly.
I like this coin ! I'm sure it will take a worthy place among others if users will not doubt about the honesty of the development team.
----------------------------

I will repeat my assumption:

my suggestion:
For analysis by reference, one file is provided, and for users, another.

I think the developers implemented the back-door in the wallet and selectively (randomly) steal the user's coins.
