As almost everyone in the crypto world knows after Segwit there appeared too many forks (Bitcoin Cash,Bitcoin Gold etc.) but it’s not the topic of this article.The biggest reason is the BITCOIN GOLD aka BTG fork.
In the beginning they premined 8000 blocks or 100,000 BTG for them.After while one of the main developers Martin Kuvandzhiev announced in Github that they’re searching someone to make replay protection for them.

After the official BTG cryptocurrency release in 12.11.2017 they linked a wallet called “My BTG Wallet” — https://mybtgwallet.com in their official website (https://bitcoingold.org).
In 13.11.2017 1 day after the release
The bitcoin gold development team is under fire once again as the currency’s mining community has discovered a hard-coded hidden fee protocol found within one of the bitcoin gold developer’s mining pool code. Miners say that BTG core developer, Martin Kuvandzhiev (StarbugBG), added a hidden 0.5 percent fee into his pool’s code that pays the fees directly to his wallet.
And the wallet linked to the website of course was a scam(From the wallet itself either BTG Developers).Later the link was removed from their site.I cant realise how they thought it was legit but one thing is clear BTG IS A BIG FRAUD.Last day as anyone else i started claiming my BTG coins unaware of the wallet scam.I downloaded BTG wallet from the official site (https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/)
and have claimed my BTG’s with "privkey". Then my BTG coins showed in my wallet.
But after few hours they get stolen! From network or from the developers.I guess that developers either the wallet fraudsters have stolen my coins beacause, my "privkey" is only entered on a developer wallet.I think the developers are responsible for that issue and they should restore my 58 BTG coins and the other peoples coins because i’m not alone.You can check my adress to be sureMy adress: https://btgexp.com/address/GbBHSDzZsCxkE7oSpwsbq7h4LLbzzsDi2aSCAMMER FINAL ADRESS;https://btgexp.com/address/GbtGnXxvcAkXVQp8WTkTtu8jhLZWgqkPXWHere are the transactions of the scammers:SCAMMER ADRESS-1;https://btgexp.com/address/GNr19CrZ3EzYQVZ6DLJXfLtTxWu9RvhokGSCAMMER ADRESS-2;https://btgexp.com/tx/d07fd556b2fca555d334819638adda3679db1dcdb288fa76f6ad2e2370058f21SCAMMER ADRESS-3;https://btgexp.com/address/GfVhxiz7CEgGeTkrxeyPbpXCgsHcPWb4BhSCAMMER ADRESS-4; https://btgexp.com/tx/f9bcfc681afa874de8c81d7475dcf9058a8af1cc5fb4ab8f7d9132c1603038baSCAMMER ADRESS-5; https://btgexp.com/address/GbtGnXxvcAkXVQp8WTkTtu8jhLZWgqkPXWThey have not made official announce of their BIG mistake for linking the scam wallet on their site and i think they’ll not make.
