BTG

wonkafront

lol, only place I could carry my BTG, now I have it in an android wallet on an old phone I never got rid of…. It’s only 10 bucks, but still, I’m just gonna give it away, so I don’t have to keep and android phone around for my sad $10 worth of BTG

wonkafront

Anyone here have BTG

StrawGreeter

Why stop there? Monero's PoW is superior. Why not BTG, still mined on GPU? DOGE is overdue for a fall back to it's pre-wsb-pump price, $0.003, or lower considering how much higher the supply is now

Appropriate_Yak_4438

Do you not know what the point of the miners is? Why they are being paid an amount of bitcoin for the job they do? You should check out ETC or BTG and maybe you'll get why it would be a terrible idea.

jaxsantiago

new to crypto.. maybe he bought BTG not BTC 🤣

Deminero30

Check if the address has fork coins. BTC had a lot of forks back in the day and a couple are still worth something; BCH, BTG and BCD. You can copy the address that had BTC before you moved them out and paste it here findmycoins. ninja. It’ll tell you if they had fork coins or not.

gastrognom

Wasn't BTG a "true fork"?

technewzguy

I bought bitcoin from Coinbase somewhere around 2012. When the price of bitcoin hit $46k for the first time I transferred it out of bitcoin to a hardware wallet. I never redeemed any bitcoin gold BTG. Do I have bitcoin gold? Does Coinbase have my bitcoin gold? Is it too late to get bitcoin gold? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

SomeIdeasTooTalk

Yea, BCH is a con-job at this stage. BTG is as well. If people are looking for a PoW digital cash with integrity and relatively wide acceptance the only real option is Litecoin. No pre-mine, founder has sold their initial bag, and can be used already a surprising number of places online.

igadjeed

> Why do you think they would be transient? Because of electricity costs? They're transient because PoW is a guessing contest. A 51% hash rate can only win 51% of blocks if it's competing in real time against the regular hash rate. Satoshi's declining probability calculations demonstrate this A successful 51% attack can create an arbitrarily long chain tip if it mines secretly and in parallel with the regular hashes, limited only by the reliability of its hash power and the cost. But the benefit can not be acquired until the attacker's chain tip is released to the main network The BTG attacks were 2-hours-long chain tips, long enough to withdraw Bitcoin from Binance at the same time as double-spending the BTG deposit sent to Binance Once the attacker's blocks are on the main chain, the odds of extending the chain fall to 51%. Another miner is going to win the next block Nothing stops the attacker doing the same 2-hour chain tip attack two days in a row. That happened https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/71321570a105940529e709651d0a9765 The attack is profitable because the exchange's wait time after BTG confirmation was shorter than 2 hours. The exchange fixes this, and the attack becomes not-viable

igadjeed

A 51% attack is not an attack on the coin. It is an attack on a fraud victim, usually a cryptocurrency exchange, by double spending. The motive is the fraud profit. Price markets are not predictable. Shorting would not guarantee profit > couldn't the users fork off with a new protocol that makes the bad actor's mining equipment obsolete Imagine making $10B of Bitcoin ASICs obsolete overnight Anyway, it's not practical. A PoW chain has a decentralized node network. Updating consensus rules is only possible with near-100% consent from node operators. That would take months That's why BTG was attacked the first time. It was launched as GPU-only mining. Bitmain announced they were making an ASIC. BTG developers announced they were changing the algorithm to make Bitmain's ASIC obsolete. But that took months. Before BTG had adopted the new algorithm, some number of Bitmain ASICs (before they were available to purchase) 51% attacked BTG The second BTG attack was possible because the algorithm was GPU-only. The attackers rented hashes on NiceHash, made a 2-hour-long alternative chain tip in secret, and released their chain tip to the network. It was longer, so it is the valid chain. An exchange lost millions, for an attack which cost a few thousand for NiceHash-brokered GPU power > Similar to how monero's protocol changed That took months too. Monero is changing its mining algorithm again, some time late in 2024. Monero's algorithm is successful at being CPU-only. So instead of making ASICs, Bitmain built a package of RISC-V CPUs into a box which which is cheaper, cooler and consumes less power than the Ryzen CPUs it's competing against > bad actors From the viewpoint of a node, they're providing blocks for the longest chain. Satoshi's PoW consensus was specifically designed not to judge bad vs good, only to follow the longest chain The assumption in many of these discussions is that the "bad guys" are instantly identifiable and the software can be instantly forked, or the blockchain can be instantly rolled back A decentralized system isn't like a bank which accidentally replayed the same tape of transactions overnight. A decentralized network runs autonomously, hands-off. The node operators are not available to jump out of bed and rush to install an urgent update at a moment's notice. Each node is independent. No central control is possible. There is no boss node. The developers do not tell the node operators when to update

anonymouscitizen2

I need to take a step back? Give me one example of a successful (profitable) 51% attack that did not involve reorging the chain. Here are a few that went exactly as I described. BTG Jan 2020, Vertcoin Dec 2019, EXP jul 2019, LCC 2019. I don’t know why I am even discussing with you anymore since, you are wrong about this. You cannot 51% attack Bitcoin in hours with these pools, you simply cannot. Its not even a debate. 51% attack reorgs: https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/71321570a105940529e709651d0a9765 https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/f2acdb9ef448ec5298173b36c7c54133 https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/01222049f95f85df8c0eb253de54848b https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/82a49f8afa87334f929881e55ad4ffd7

The point is to cut out the middle man because the middleman adopted the role of gatekeeper, regulating what people are allowed to buy or to sell - political censorship and moral censorship Bitcoin does this Litecoin also does this, slightly differently As the dominant, Bitcoin usage (mostly misuse) caused it to bump up against its daily volume limit Litecoin is a useful alternative, while Bitcoin is overloaded Monero is as useful as Bitcoin, with extra privacy BCash is an opportunist coin minting. By inheriting Bitcoin's history, it created value from nothing, fraudulently. BTG, BSV and about 40 others are similarly fraudulent, for inheriting existing coin history ETH is a mistake. A clever person noted that Bitcoin's scripting design does not do loops (more correct, does not do backward jumps). Naively, clever person thinks this is a deficiency. ETH is the sad result Everything else is an extension of the parasitic speculator market which adopted Bitcoin in about 2011. Finding a market which offers scam trading equivalent to the old Belfort penny stock pump-and-dump markets, the penny stock scammers made a speculative market from Bitcoin. Then they extended it to new coins - either blockchains, or ETH instant tokens > I see AI as the future Isn't faith belief so quaint

filthy-peon

Fees on BTG are not low. Bailouts can still happen just not with freshly pronted btc. However I do agree on the point of having the possibility to not use a custodian. That is nice and can prevent the state from overreaching. Can also prevent sanctions öile the USA is increasingly using. Amd as Insaid yes you also have a limited supply woth bitcoin. But this will jurt economies due to deflation. There are some advantages but its really not lile showomg up with a musket to a swordfight! More like showing up with a fine wine to a cheap party 😅

Qwahzi

A couple of points - you're assuming that there are no rewards or consequences, but both of those assumptions are wrong: 1. Nano has incentives for good behavior - the network itself is the incentive (0 fee, permission-less, money). Just like HTTP, SMTP, TCP/IP, and even Bitcoin full nodes, none of which pay people fees at the protocol-level. The largest entities are the least likely to attack, since they make or save money from using the network 2. Nano uses ORV, which is very different from PoS, with different game theory (more details [here](https://docs.nano.org/protocol-design/orv-consensus/#open-representative-voting-orv-vs-proof-of-stake-pos)). There is no leader selection, block producers, fee rewards, or block rewards. You get no special privileges for being a consensus participant (representative), so there's no reason to do so unless you want to use the network itself. This also means that decentralization is incentivized - there's no benefit to having massive representatives, only downsides (increased attack/censorship risk), and that's why Nano keeps getting more decentralized over time (opposite of Bitcoin) 3. There ARE consequences for bad behavior in Nano. For censorship, the bad attackers can easily end up forking themselves out and losing access to wallets, users, services, etc, when the quorum thresholds and/or voting weight gets adjusted (due to the block-lattice data structure combined with block cementing). For double spend attempts, the attackers would just get forked out, also losing the wallets, users, services, etc, and destroying the value of their double spent version 4. We have seen multiple examples of old/dead PoW coins getting double spent (ETC, BTG, VTC, etc), and almost 0 examples of PoS coins getting double spent, *[even when the coin is almost dead](https://twitter.com/patrickluberus/status/1703752678839308573)* (no users/volume), **because** the game theory works* - the largest entities have the biggest incentive not to attack the network (they'd destroy the value of their holdings), AND no attacker is going to buy up the supply to attempt an attack 5. Nano is one of the [most decentralized networks](https://nanocharts.info/p/01/vote-weight-distribution) already, and keeps getting more decentralized with time, especially compared to [Bitcoin](https://btc.com/stats/pool)

Eh, nobody remember Bitcoin Gold or Bitcoin Diamond. Both hardforks of BTC. BTG (ranked 122) price $12.49 and BCD(ranked 730) price ¢.05545 I thought it was pretty cool getting those free then selling them as fast as possible lol.

igadjeed

Th best thing about Bitcoin Gold is the developer choosing an ASIC-proof mining hash algorithm, with the slogan, "one GPU one vote" Bitmain announced plans for a BTG ASIC. The developer made counter-plans for a different algorithm. Someone (definitely not Bitmain) had exclusive access to the first batch of Bitmain BTG ASICs, used them to 51% attack BTG, with double-spending fraud BTG changed the algorithm - better late than never. This wiped out the value of all the BTG ASICs Then BTG was 51% attacked again, by thieves renting GPU hashes on NiceHash https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/71321570a105940529e709651d0a9765

To learn BTC especially, i feel the need is to learn crypto as a whole instead of just the king. Anyway i already got headache with just math, imagine now you gotta learn about BTC. I can also already give the answer. Satoshi nakamoto (real identity unknown) 21million btc ever Halving every 4 years Decentralized (no one owned btc as a company or director) Have 2 hardforks. BCH and BTG Last BTC to be mine will be in year 2140. The only country with BTC as legal tender is El Salvador First ever commercial transaction of BTC is to buy pizza.

Then, remember when Bitcoin forked to Bitcoin Gold and Coinbase kept all the BTG that should have been provided to their customers and a California judge decided "too bad for you crypto nerds, you get nothing". Yeah I remember....

RogerWilco357

I love BTG. Sold it at the fork and made a couple more G in BTC. How can I hate something that got me more BTC?

Dazzling_Marzipan474

BTG Bitcoin Gold. Just look at the all time graph. It couldn't be worse. It's fading into the abyss. It's 108th by market cap at $281M.

CardanoCrusader

How many times has Bitcoin already been forked, and with a lot less liquidity at stake? The following is a list of notable hard forks splitting bitcoin by date and/or block: * Bitcoin Cash: Forked at block 478558, 1 August 2017, for each bitcoin (BTC), an owner got 1 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) * Bitcoin SV: Forked at block 556766, 15 November 2018, for each Bitcoin Cash (BCH), an owner got 1 Bitcoin SV (BSV). * eCash: Forked at block 661648, 15 November 2020, for each Bitcoin Cash (BCH), an owner got 1,000,000 eCash (XEC). * Bitcoin Gold: Forked at block 491407, 24 October 2017, for each bitcoin (BTC), an owner got 1 Bitcoin Gold (BTG) *

PotentialJourney

You could try mining BTG which is a fork of BTC that uses GPUs to mine instead of ASICs. It has the same number of total coins (21M) and is also set to do a block halving early next year.

Skank_cunt_42

Anyone remember Bitcoin Gold (BTG)? When it forked from BTC, it had a conversion rate of 1 BTG to 0.1 BTC! However, the current price of one Bitcoin Gold is currently $16.5 according to CoinMarketCap. What happened? I see it pumps occasionally, any chance left in it or just another dead zombie coin from a past era of Crypto.

Bitcoin Gold..BTG wallet. I was young and inexperienced 😑

igadjeed

If there are more idle hashes available for quick reactivation than there are active hashes, a 51% attack is technically possible. This is a consequence of Bitcoin's design, a kind of inevitability. Is this a problem? If you're the victim of double-spend enabled by a 51% attack, it's a problem. There have been 51% attacks on BTG and other altcoins. Who were the victims?

crua9

Why wouldn't you just mine whatever profitable coin. Right now it's something like BTG or RVN at the time of writing this. Then use that to swap to moons?

knowbodynows

Sloppy "humor". BCH is on that drive indeed, as well as the following shitcoins: BSV, XEC, BTC, BTG, etc.

Skank_cunt_42

I remember when BTG (Bitcoin Gold) was forked, immediately following it was valued at about an 1/3 of BTC price. Now it floats around $15! XD

I just added my wallet to cointracker and I have all these random coins such as 11000 Bitcoin gold (BTG) that I never have heard of before. I'm assuming they are fake scam coins. How can I delete these to see my actual balance?

Maxx3141

When BTC started to pump in 2017, I got curious. The last time I heard of it it "died" after all. After some research I made my first purchases of BTC, ETH and a few of the "hot alts" of that time. The hot alts were BCH, BTG and ETC... Don't judge me, it was my first time in crypto.

FlyingDutchmantoMoon

That narative is just brought to you by ETH maxis. They'ld even leave out BTC if they could. But the truth is there will most likely be a future with several succesfull layer 1s with only BTG as the OG

igadjeed

> The idea of inherently ASIC resistant pow algorithms is basically dead, no matter how memory hard you make them Right, more or less. Manufacturer economics prevents ASICs being developed for shitcoins like BTG. The history there is that Bitmain announced they were planning an ASIC, BTG devs announced they would change the hashing algorithm. But the ASIC was available (to someone, not the retail market) before the algorithm was changed, and the operator of those pre-market ASICs 51% attacked BTG. BTG changed the algorithm. Bitmain did not make an ASIC. Nor did any manufacturer Also, there is more to innovation than making a hashing algorithm memory hungry. Monero's mining hash is ASIC resistant (and GPU resistant) by requiring a round of hashing to use dozens of different CPU instructions. That's ASIC resistant because an ASIC which supported all CPU instructions would be a CPU. This contradiction means that Monero is CPU mined and will be forever

crua9

>whats the point of bitcoin gold As mention, it is because you need to use special hardware to mine BTC while BTG is limited to GPU mining. That's pretty much it. Personally, I rarely mine BTG unless if I need quick cash. Like IMO this isn't a long term hold. The mining part of it is already covered by a number of other coins.

RogerWilco357

But that wasn't my argument, I only stated my opinion that I'd rather use BTG.

P_e_a_s_h_o_o_t_e_r

>But there are actually multiple forks a week I probably won't have heard of any of them, so their value is probably very small. These new fork are probably worth even much less than the low valued BTG.

P_e_a_s_h_o_o_t_e_r

If you had 1 BTC before the fork you'd now have 1 BTC + 1 BTG. But the 1 BTG is worth 0.00088 BTC. So the total value is 1.00088 BTC.

Waddamagonnadooo

Show me where I said private smart contracts are impossible? I literally stated a fact that Ethereum has a multi-billion $ worth of defi ecosystem (which makes it a target for regulators) while Monero literally has none, I’m sorry if that fact upset you. You also provided zero proof that POW is better than POS besides “trust me bro, it’s harder” while ignoring what I’ve said that the richer get richer under a POW scheme as well. BTC mining is centralized as shit with ASICs. ETC/BTG have been 51% attacked multiple times. This isn’t exactly the shining beacon of security you’re claiming it to be. Until Ethereum completes the merge and we’ve had a few years of data showing whether or not POS is viable for a large scale cryptocurrency, this is literally all just handwaving speculation.

WorkingLime

I agree with you but I did a technical and not biased analysis. I took the listed coins in CMC that are GPU minable and listed the six first. People blame about BTG, like it is my fault it is in the 82 position of the ranking and can be GPU minable.

WorkingLime

Mining BTG with a RTX3070 gives you 8 cents (USD) daily after electricity cost, that is by definition profitable. Of course doing it won't make sense because mining instead ETH would give you 20 times more USD, around 1.5 USD

Maxx3141

This is not how mining works and simply not true. Every miner mines in a profit, otherwise he could just shut off and buy the coin instead (getting more). With "being profitable" I mean being among the most profitable coins. BTG is just mined by some chinese miner who invented it and probably has access to (almost) free electricity.

> There's nothing special about bcash I agree. But that's the decision which the trustee made early in the civil rehabilitation process. Strictly speaking, they're Mtgox's BCH, so they would go to the trustee to cover his fees, to the creditors for reimbursement, or to the previous owners of Mtgox If Karpeles retains a personal copy of those keys, he can extract the remnant fork coins (BTG and others) after the process is complete

Actually, given that the exchange has custody of the BTC, the exchange has the right to the inherited BCH. But there was a loud group of shouters, and they persuaded Coinbase to allocate the BCH. Coinbase was slow to have the code developed, gifted the BCH in December 2017 They didn't gift BTG or any of the other fork coins

You can live in a house or rent it. Likewise with bonds, their are debt which pay interest. Shares mean you own a percentage of a company and can be entitled to voting rights, dividends. BTC does nothing and produces nothing (it actually consumes energy, so is a net negative) Likewise BCash, ABC, BTG, BTD, Litecoin and all the clones. Artificially scarce "things" that people gamble on via greater fool theory. Whenever I've sold any someone is simply transferring their wealth to me, without anything being produced, without any net benefit.

100% sure. Even if it drops 99% from here, Bitcoin can still rally from $10 to $50. Its not a question of if, but when/what prices. Which noone has the answer to. But even "dead" coins like ETC, BTG, BSV, etc have rallies. Can gains be had? Then there will be rallies. Im sure even the old LUNA will have rallies, even though we all know its left for dead.

nowuknoimpaperthin

The provided link is more akin to a double spend attack (fraudlent behavior) than a 51% attack (control of the majority of nodes); exploiting an exchange sevice (Binance) with a low verification limit which allows the timeframe between a falsy chain and an exchange to pass funds via the attacker. Transactions without enough comfirmations will be rejected by the chain, e.g. the longest chain wins consensus. The honest chain can still reject the attackers chain as long as the honest nodes control the majority of nodes. The gist even states that Binance increased the confirmation limit from 3 to 20 to mitigate the attack. > A fourteen or fifteen block reorg would thus evade both of Binance's escrow periods. Binance has since increased their withdrawal requirement for BTG to twenty confirmations.

Bitcoin maxis just understood something you don’t: it’s the best investment of all crypto commodities. I put the emphasis on COMMODITIES. If a coin can be premined and just printed out of thin air like Luna, it’s a security and once the SEC comes in town, they’re gonna have a hell of a bad time. So, which altcoins can be considered commodities? LTC, XMR, DOGE, BCH, BTG, ETH, (maybe) and a handful of POW coins.

Back up a little bit, for some pre-requisite knowlwdge. The nature of the network means that occasionally two miners find a new block at the same time. Some nodes get one block. Some nodes get the other block. This is a temporary chain tip fork. The fork is resolved when the next block arrives. The nodes on the shorter chain will reorg their chain tips to follow the longer chain A 51% attack exploits this "follow the longer chain" rule by forging a tied mining race. The attacker's chain is longer, therefore it is the correct chain --- Here is a good writeup of the second Bitcoin Gold 51% attack https://gist.github.com/metalicjames/71321570a105940529e709651d0a9765 BTG is GPU mined and has a low hash rate. This means that a miner can pay GPU owners on a hash broking market like NiceHash to turn their GPUs to mining BTG The cost of renting enough hash power to 51% attack BTG was about $900 per hour. The attackers rented hashes for 2 hours and secretly mined 2 hours of blocks. During this time they spent BTG to buy BTC on a coin-to-coin exchange. These BTG transactions are in the regular miners' blocks. The exchange sent the BTC In their shadow blocks, the attackers sent their BTG coins to themselves instead of to the exchange After 2 hours, the attackers released their chain to the BTG node network. Their chain was longer so it replaced those 2 hours of blocks Now the attackers have kept their BTG and received the BTC they purchased. The double-spend was accomplished by spending BTG to themselves, after the exchange had sent the purchased BTC
