Bitcoin Gold is now live.
For those of you who are coming here for the first time, Bitcoin Gold is another altcoin which has forked out of Bitcoin recently.
orking Bitcoin and making an altcoin is one of the easiest ways to get a lot of attention and also such types of forks give BTC users, freebies in the form of ‘airdropped forked coins’.
The same free air drop happened with the BTC users on 24th October 2017 at block height 491407 when the Bitcoin chain forked into Bitcoin Gold.
CoinSutra had published detailed instruction about this fork well before the time, so if you were reading CoinSutra then I am sure you are now eligible to claim your coins. And those who were not, sorry you are now out of luck.
However, this fork was a snapshot fork, a kind of one and only unique fork that we have seen so far in this cryptosphere. This snapshot fork means that Bitcoin Gold can’t be claimed by BTC users until the actual BTG blockchain goes live.
But now the BTC users can claim their free BTG coins because the BTG blockchain is now live.
