The Bitcoin Gold network is now fully operational and can already be mined, although the start of operations has been somewhat problematic due to a denial of service attack apparently launched from China.

The launch of Bitcoin Gold has been more problematic than expected and it is that they have worked hard so that when it was launched, it was launched with total security and it has not been easy, because yesterday there was even a strong attack from China . One of the difficulties has been to implement countermeasures to prevent the ASICs used to mine Bitcoin from being used in this fork. For more than ten days we have had access to a testnet, in which improvements and security measures have been implemented, which have worked correctly.

Bitcoin Gold is a fork of BTC, just like Bitcoin Cash, but in this case it comes to return the mining of cryptocurrencies to users and 'take it away' from mining farms. As happened with BCH, users who at the time of the fork (November 1), had in their put an amount 'x' of BTC, will automatically receive the same amount in BTG. Public mining has already started and there are several expert groups in mining that have already started operating under this currency. The software distribution process has been a major achievement in an open environment.

It has been commented within the Slack channels of this cryptocurrency, that some users have had problems connecting to the network. Some have also commented that they have received phishing emails, with fake and potentially harmful miners, but this point would have nothing to do with the basis of the project. The network works normally and in the next few hours everything should work completely, although at the moment btg.suprnova.cc does not work correctly, in a few hours it should go without problems and exchange houses such as Bittrex, should add the wallets shortly.
