FAQ
Bitcoin Gold (BTG) is a cryptocurrency that was established in 2017 with the intention of providing a user-friendly alternative to Bitcoin. It aims to merge the robustness and security of the Bitcoin blockchain with the potential for experimentation and development. Bitcoin Gold strives to offer a coin with the capabilities of Bitcoin, while also providing more opportunities for DeFi and DApp developers to utilize the coin.
Bitcoin Gold, as a hard fork of the original Bitcoin token, introduces a new proof-of-work algorithm that aims to address the scalability issues that Bitcoin faces. As an open-source protocol, Bitcoin Gold encourages developers to participate freely in the governance and development of the blockchain. This open participation is seen as a crucial requirement for promoting decentralization, an area where Bitcoin faces challenges. Bitcoin Gold can be accessed on various platforms, including swap services and wallets, and is supported by several online browsers and service providers.
Bitcoin Gold aims to improve the mining process by introducing a new proof-of-work algorithm that combats the scalability issues Bitcoin struggles with. This makes it more accessible to a wider range of miners, as it favors GPUs for mining, unlike the Bitcoin blockchain. This unique combination of the inherent properties of the original Bitcoin blockchain and an innovative approach to blockchain development and applications opens up a range of potential use cases. Bitcoin Gold can be used for transactions, similar to Bitcoin, but it also provides a platform for developers to build and experiment with decentralized applications and DeFi projects.
Bitcoin Gold was founded in 2017 by a group of enthusiasts with diverse backgrounds and skills. The co-founders include Hang Yin, a software engineer for Google, and Martin Kuvandzhiev, a board member at the company. Bitcoin Gold is one of the first hard forks of the original cryptocurrency, which has garnered interest from various sectors. The Bitcoin Gold network is secured through the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, similar to Bitcoin. However, one of BTG’s main goals was to improve the mining process by introducing the Equihash PoW, which favors GPUs for mining, unlike the Bitcoin blockchain.
