Title: Has bitcoin gold changed it's algorithm lately?
Post by: sugarchrisp on August 15, 2018, 08:55:44 AM

I've been checking ASIC miners every day to keep track of how they're all doing as I'm interested in purchasing one and I noticed that some of them don't claim Bitcoin Gold as a mineable token anymore when it was on there previously.  I'm not sure what to look for or how to search for it specifically so I figured I'd ask here first.

Bitcoin Gold is a fork of Bitcoin core (BTC) protocol and the main purpose of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is to make Bitcoin decentralized again. All the features and specifications of Bitcoin Gold is similar to Bitcoin except two aspects; per-block difficulty adjustment and ASIC resistant PoW algorithm.

Oh My God!
If indeed that happens later there are many difficulties that will be solved by Bitcoin Gold miners.
I admit that I am not familiar with cryptocurrency mining, let alone mining for Bitcoin Gold.

But if the system is running then in the middle of the road to be changed, it will complicate everything.

I don't understand the problem enough, but I don't think it's done because I think changing the algorithm will give miners more trouble
