Bitcoin Gold Plans to Launch its Network on November 12

Bitcoin Gold Mainnet Plans to Launch 11 Days Late

We are extremely grateful for the community around the world who have been contributing hash power to our testnets; besides patiently testing their own mining process.
Codebase Changes and “Unofficial Bitcoin Gold Websites”
New protocol additions to the BTG codebase include the Equihash PoW change, Replay Protection, the difficulty-adjustment-algorithm (DAA), and a new address format. Additionally, the BTG team explains they are very grateful to all the “service providers” who’ve helped them build the BTG ecosystem. The team plans to update its mining documentation so BTG can be easily mined by anyone, and also assists service providers with more technical info. The BTG mailing list also provides a page of “unofficial” bitcoin gold websites and explains the team is not associated with these sites.
Ten Exchanges Are Swapping BTG Futures Markets
The cryptocurrency community is still skeptical about this fork and associated token. The pre-mine of BTG’s first blocks continues to be a controversial subject. Further, as far as wallet providers and exchanges there are not that many businesses that have announced supporting this particular fork. Right now there are ten exchanges swapping bitcoin gold futures according to Coinmarketcap data. Exchanges trading BTG futures include Bitfinex, Hitbtc, Coinnest, Binance, Yobit, Gate.io, and more. Bitcoin gold futures are trading at prices between $160-260 per BTG on these particular trading platforms. What do you think about the bitcoin gold mainnet going live on Sunday, November 12?
