At this point, it's anyone's guess. I would have suggested not buying it at all in the beginning considering it was going to fall because everyone who has bitcoins would sell the additional BTG they got as soon as deposits are enabled, However, whether it will recover and rise even higher than the beginning (like what happened with BCH is uncertain), The terrible launch and slow start didn't help either. I would say it's better to sell HOWEVER nothing is certain, in few months/weeks it might actually recover, so you can either cut your losses right now or keep it as a 'bet'.

Edited November 25, 2017 by mexxer. I've invested some money to buy BTG. Unfortunately i bought it when price at 0.07 btc. Currently the price stay at 0.046. I need your suggestions should i hold or sell btg? Will it going up like BCH? Thanks If you have no urgent use of the money i would say hold them.

Everything You Wanted to Know about MINING BITCOIN-GOLD but Afraid to ASK. On going exposes from GITHUB, feel free to ask any question, which miner, solo, which pool. Verge XVG Mining Electricity here. I have put a 10k sol/sec hash on this pool for 30 minutes, my result at the current difficulty 800 was luck is about 5/day. If you are mining solo, the estimated expected cryptocurrency earnings can vary greatly depending on your luck and stale /reject/orphan rate. Bitcoin Mining. Bitcoin Gold (BTG) Bitcoin Forum. Anyone has working solo mining proxy? And it did not work for me here with Bitcoin Gold.

There might me a significant change in the price of BTG (they might go up again) investing in online currencies is a bit like gambling you got to take chances and accept the possibilities of losing everything. If you accept those terms at the interim you should be fine. Gulden NLG Mining Setup Cost.

Bitcoin Gold, BTG, is a cryptocurrency that began in 2017 as a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, but has been independent since then. Because Bitcoin Gold began as a fork, it contains the full transaction history of the Bitcoin blockchain up until the fork, including the exact balances of Bitcoins held in wallets at that time by users and organizations around the world. Anyone who held a Bitcoin balance immediately before the fork held an equivalent balance of Bitcoin Gold immediately after the fork. The original Bitcoin blockchain continued, unaffected and unimpeded by this process. The Bitcoin Gold blockchain began running as a distinct new branch about two weeks later. As a result of this process, a new cryptocurrency was born. Bitcoin Gold forked the Bitcoin blockchain as scheduled after block 491406 (2017-10-24 01:17:35 UTC).

The new Bitcoin Gold blockchain began actively growing at block 491407 (2017-11-12 at 13:34:01 UTC), about two weeks later. During those two weeks, the community developed and tested the necessary changes to prevent accidental or malicious complications between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Gold (unique addressing and replay protection), as well as the changes necessary for Bitcoin Gold to run on a completely different network of miners (a change of algorithm to restrict ASIC mining and enable GPU mining). Technically, Bitcoin Gold was created on 2017-10-24 but not usable until 2017-11-12. T he purpose behind creating Bitcoin Gold was to make mining decentralized again. Satoshi Nakamoto’s idealistic vision of “one CPU one vote” for Bitcoin had been displaced by a reality where the manufacture and distribution of specialized mining equipment using ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) chips is dominated by a tiny number of entities, some of which have engaged in monopolistic and arguably abusive practices against individual miners and the Bitcoin network as a whole. Changing the PoW (Proof-of-Work) algorithm from SHA-256 to Equihash means that specialized ASIC mining equipment designed for SHA-256 are unable to mine on the Bitcoin Gold blockchain.

Equihash runs on commodity graphics cards, or GPUs, which are easily available to the public, but Equihash is prohibitively difficult to implement as an ASIC (see: ). As a result, Bitcoin Gold provides an opportunity for countless people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations.

This leads to a more decentralized, democratic mining infrastructure that is both more resilient and more in line with Satoshi’s original vision. Bitcoin Gold was created with that vision in mind. Bitcoin Cash and B2X are hostile forks that use the same PoW algorithm as Bitcoin – SHA256 – which results in a permanent state of conflict over a finite amount of ASIC mining hardware that is required for solving SHA256 proof-of-work. Bitcoin Gold, on the other hand, uses the Equihash PoW algorithm, which cannot be solved using ASICs that have been designed for Bitcoin. This ensures that Bitcoin Gold is not in competition with Bitcoin over limited resources. Instead, Bitcoin Gold has an entirely different mining infrastructure, consisting of general purpose computer hardware (GPUs).

Cryptocurrency exchanges are custodial businesses, which means the exchange controls your private keys, not you. An exchange that was holding BTC on your behalf at the time of the snapshot also controls the corresponding BTG. While they should credit your account with the equal amount of BTG, there is no legal authority that can force them to do so. The Bitcoin Gold home page displays the names and logos of exchanges that have already credited their users with BTG. If your exchange is not shown, it would be wise to consult with your exchange for full information on their policy.
