Bitcoin Gold/BTG

Bitcoin Gold is a recently launched cryptocurrency with increased usability. The coin is gaining power because of its branding as a form of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Gold is a hard fork from the Bitcoin block chain, but with a more distributed and self-governing mining infrastructure than Bitcoin. Bitcoin Gold was launched on 12th November 2017. Bitcoin Gold was founded by Jack Liao, CEO of LightingAsic and BitExchange and 5 more people. The team is funded by a strong 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, Coldlar, and Exodus.

Bitcoin Gold is unique from most other cryptocurrencies. All wallets and transactions on the Bitcoin Gold block chain are pseudonymous. The block chain 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 platform. Anyone with a computer with GPU graphics cards can mine BTG.
