Bitcoin Gold/BTG

Bitcoin Gold is a cryptocurrency launched on November 12, 2017, with increased usability. The coin has gained popularity thanks to its branding as a Bitcoin variant. It is a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain, but with a more distributed and democratic mining infrastructure than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Gold was founded by Jack Liao, CEO of LightningAsic and BitExchange, along with five other developers. The project is backed by a team of veteran software developers. Bitcoin Gold was designed to decentralize mining and to verify and validate Bitcoin transactions. All transactions of Bitcoin before the hard fork were retained.

Bitcoin Gold offers users protection from malicious attacks, prevents transaction replay and funds loss by making transactions on one chain invalid on others. It also offers protection against big swings in hash power. It offers a unique address format to prevent any confusion while preventing the loss of coins by an unintended transfer.

Bitcoin Gold can be traded on many exchanges. Bitcoin Gold Core Wallet v0.15.1 is Bitcoin Gold's full node wallet which can be used for storage. However, they can also be stored in other wallets like Trezor Wallet, Ledger Wallet, Coinomi, and Exodus.

Bitcoin Gold is unique from most other cryptocurrencies. All wallets and transactions on the Bitcoin Gold blockchain are pseudonymous. The blockchain does not show the identity of wallet owners but still owners can check where the coins came from and where they went. Bitcoin Gold is more accessible because of its availability on multiple exchange platforms. Anyone with a computer with GPU graphics cards can mine BTG.
