The full name of BTG is bitcoingold, which is also called bitcoingpu. The origin is an activity against segwit2x organized by developers: "no2x". BTG is a new digital currency obtained from the hard bifurcation of bitcoin blockchain. Its main features are: similar to bitcoin cash, BTG also adds sighash_ Forked (a security mechanism after hard bifurcation). BTG will be pre mined. BTG blockchain will initially mine in non-public environment, that is, there will be initial allocation to early developers and supporters. BTG will adopt equihash POW algorithm. The difference between this algorithm and sha256 used by BTC is that the hash computing power will be affected by the memory size of the computing device. Therefore, ASIC miner will no longer be effectively used for BTG mining. The founder of BTG project is Jack Liao, the founder of lightning ASIC. The company that developed bitcoin gold is headquartered in Hong Kong and its principal is an anonymous developer named "h4x3". BTG is the hard fork of bitcoin BTC. On October 24, 2017, it was split with bitcoin after the birth of block 491407. BTG blockchain will initially mine in non-public environment, that is, there will be initial allocation to early developers and supporters. BTG adopts equihash POW algorithm. The difference between this algorithm and sha256 used in BTC is that the hash computing power will be affected by the memory size of the computing device. Therefore, ASIC miner will no longer be effectively used for BTG mining. However, bitcoin initially advertised the goal of decentralization. At present, only a few mining machine manufacturers produce mining machines, so that computing power is monopolized by mining machines. The miner undoubtedly seized the control of the bitcoin, which was contrary to the original intention. In order to change this situation, Liao Xiang and his team hope to create a digital currency to "resist ASIC", a digital currency that does not need expensive and advanced mining hardw
