Bittrex: Statement on Bitcoin Gold [BTG]
If you have a Bitcoin Bitcoin balance during BTG 491,407 snapshot block occurring approximately on October 24, 3h PT (10h UTC), you will receive the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Gold (BTG) on a 1-hour basis. : 1. For example, 1 BTC on Bittrex during the on-exchange snapshot will yield you 1 BTG. BTC held on orders will also be credited. Only the BTC held in your account is eligible for BTG. All details below.
Bitcoin Gold [BTG] is a proposed digital asset.
Currently, the information and code base presented by the Bitcoin Gold team are not in a functional state and Bittrex does not commit to opening a Bitcoin Gold trading market.
Bitcoin Gold intends to take a snapshot of the portfolio balance at Bitcoin block 491,407 but the current Bitcoin Gold network will be publicly launched at an indefinite date and time (the only directive is the "after launch" instruction on November 1st ").
Bitcoin Gold currently does not have:
Fully formed consensus code
Replay protection implemented
Proper code for testing and auditing
Publicly known code developers
Bitcoin Gold codebase also contains a private premine of 8,000 blocks (100,000 BTG). Please be aware that if a market opens, it is possible for developers to sell their BTG premine on the open market.
When you consider adding tokens to the Bittrex exchange, we examine the risks involved. Bitcoin Gold does not meet our security criteria for our users. Taking a snapshot of Bittrex Bitcoin wallet trading is also a big disruptive business that requires more than 24 hours of preparation (Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals are also suspended during this time) and should not be taken lightly.
Bittrex will close the Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals (including the XCP / OMNI second layer protocol and associated assets) 24 hours before the BTG 491,407 snapshot block occurring approximately on October 24, 3h PT (10h UTC). The purse will remain closed until the end of the exchange snapshot. Trading will remain active during this time.
Bittrex will make all reasonable attempts to credit our BTG users but until we have a fully supported portfolio, we can not guarantee tokens or consider creating a market. We will continue to monitor the status of the code base and the network. We would also like to encourage BTG's development team to contact us.
