Hello, out of the 100k premine, there is 55k left. https://h4x3rotab.github.io/btg-transparent/
It has been almost 2 years since mainnet launch nov 12 2017.

Call us a scam if you want, but there is no truth when people say 'the devs dumped'. We are still here, just not wasting time arguing with keyboard warriors about dumb things.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Re: Is Bitcoin G. a scam?

  Hello, I have been on Bitcoin Gold team since November 2017 https://bitcoingold.org/our-team/ , we are not a scam. We are the first Bitcoin fork that switched from ASIC mining to GPU only. It is also true that we were 51% attacked in Q2 2018, however so was Verge, Monacoin, Vertcoin, other projects at that time. Since then, we have hard forked in July of 2018, our new mining algorithm is called zhash(Equihash-BTG). https://bitcoingold.org/a-successful-network-upgrade/ It is ASIC-resistant again, the memory footprint is about 2GB.

  Also, there was a premine, it is true. Also was part of the whitepaper that was released October 2017 before mainnet: https://bitcoingold.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/BitcoinGold-Roadmap.pdf page 9 and 10 . We have plenty of the funds left: https://h4x3rotab.github.io/btg-transparent/ , these wallets are constantly being updated. So you see, we have done what we said we would do, and will continue to develop: https://bitcoingold.org/roadmap-2019/

   We do not spend money on ads, that is why many do not hear from us. But we are always around, check our discord http://discord.gg/HmVUU6S and twitter https://twitter.com/bitcoingold

   We are also on over 70 exchanges and trading normally. We have plenty of market support, plenty of plugins support us like Coingate, Coinpayments and Paytomat. We have merchants that are starting to accept BTG payments: https://cryptwerk.com/pay-with/btg/ Our community is organically growing and our hodlers, miners and supporters are strong.

Cheers!

Hey everyone, I am very excited that we will be sharing this post on all our social medias soon: https://bitcoingold.org/?p=37491
It's all about the premine.

TLDR; https://h4x3rotab.github.io/btg-transparent/
Here is a site that monitors the total amount of premine funds in the endowment wallets. Hopefully that puts to rest forever the trolls who say the team dumped at all time high It's been over a year of that lie. (I honestly do not think the trolls will ever stop saying that, but at least now there's a simple link to prove them all wrong  Grin)

Cheers!

I've read that Bitcoin Gold is quite easy and cheap to attack with a 51% attack. Any plans to secure the coin somehow?
Hello, good question. Here is my response to a really bad article about BTG that was released recently: https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/a58eqx/bitcoin_gold_a_shitcoin_vulnerable_to_attack/ebkxg9v/?sort=top (in case this is the one what you read)

There was also another terrible article that is just paraphrasing the article that I replied to on reddit: https://www.investinblockchain.com/bitcoin-gold-vulnerable-to-attack/

Both articles are full of lies. http://crypto51.app shows that currently only 4% of BTG's nethash is rent able via Nicehash, that makes it impossible to attack us 'easily'. We forked July 3 to renew ASIC-resistance and to help secure us from being 51% attacked https://bitcoingold.org/a-successful-network-upgrade/ . It was completely successful

We are also the top zhash coin by far, making us an unlikely target. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/455489483253612547/524015903529238565/unknown.png

Another thing that it appears people misunderstand is just how much mining support we actually have. Consider that 1 1080ti  video card produces around 75sols and a 1060 around 33, this can put into perspective just how many GPUs it would take to have 1.5msols (1,500,000sols), that is the amount required to have 51% of our nethash today, while the entire market is very low. Now imagine how much it would cost for the hashrate required once the market recovers and our nethash goes back to 4.5msols and higher.

It is not impossible to attack BTG, but it is also not easy or cheap. Hope this explains everything. Cheers!

All electrum peers from https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx/blob/master/electrumx/lib/coins.py#L432 are down...
Is this temporary? Are there any other electrums?

Hello, this issue has been reported to our sysops team and is being investigated currently.

Hey, Joseph where are you? When "we are looking forward for the big future of BTG"? When next 51% attack?  AHAHAHAHHAHAAAA
You havent said anything new in a year, I just stopped replying to your lies.

He left the community after dumping his coin on big price so we don't have any big hope this will even get recover to previous level. It looking price will fell to more down let us what future will be on this coin.
I havent dumped anything, there's way more important things to do than bicker on this thread about nonsense. Our market is fine and so is this project, cheers!

Big spikes in Nethash today ....

Some big players going in ?
Some big players using new optimised ewbf miners ?
Something happening again ?
Asics figured a way to mine it ?

Awell, it's all in the game ....


Hello, in my opinion it is not ASICs or big players. The hashrate increase is exactly on schedule since ZEC and ETH have ASCIs, the rising difficulty makes GPU mining no longer profitable, those with mining rigs who will not sell look for another GPU coin, monero and bitcoin gold are the highest marketcap coins that I am aware of.

https://zsolo.bid/hashrate/bitcoin-gold-network-hashrate-chart.html
Our hashrate is growing nicely since the July 3 hardfork and I do not consider our recent hashrate gains abnormal at all.

It will likely continue this way, cheers!

Ahahahaa, it is actually Bitmain mining GPU farms that are preparing another 51% attack. Goodbye! Have a nice day! See ya at 5 USD per coin

BTG delist from exchanger bittrex and dev BTG give announcement https://bitcoingold.org/statement-regarding-bittrex/
BCD is better than BTG , security BTG is low under attack.
If  we see the price BTG its so hard go down from top price since 51% under attack mei 2017.
How deep the Bitcoin Gold has been down till now after its latest 51% attacks months ago?
What should I do with the price chart like this? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-gold/

Hello, the 51% attacks were in May, we hard forked July 3 to fix the issue.


Try looking on the bright side, we are doing well since mid August.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/455489483253612547/496309751215554590/unknown.png
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-gold/#charts

Bittrex only accounted for 2-5% of trading volume according to CMC, their delist had no long term effect, as you can see our price actually went up since then.

We are also open deposit/withdraw tradeable on plenty of other exchanges including Binance, HitBTC, Bithumb and Bitfinex.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-gold/#markets

Amount of confirmations for deposits have also steadily been decreased over the months.
Cheers!


Is there source code publicly available yet? It has to be audited to be listed on other exchanges like Coinbase.

Hello, yes our code repo is here: https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/ and has been for about a year. Check out my reddit post about what coinbase said: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinGoldHQ/comments/9djfhr/what_did_they_say_coinbase/
