In a devastating breach of trust, the Bitcoin Gold team has officially confirmed they’ve been pre-mining BTG for some time now ahead of the coming BTG “fork.” This ugly revelation could sink the BTG project before it ever even had a chance to start. Also read: More and more red flags are appearing for Bitcoin Gold (BTG) In a bombshell revelation, a Bitcoin Gold developer using the GitHub moniker “” confirmed the pre-mining of Bitcoin Gold in a Slack conversation regarding the veracity of swirling pre-mining rumors.

This admission counters previous assertions by the BTG team that Bitcoin Gold would not be pre-mined, a development that greatly decreases the value—and trustworthiness—of the project. BTG, a seemingly promising effort to decentralize mining by allowing GPU mining, is now facing a scandal of doomful proportions. Indeed, many pundits in the crypto space are saying this latest breach of trust is enough to destroy the Bitcoin Gold project permanently. So it looks like this is a private fork of bitcoin, with a private,hidden premine and after the premine was successful, it's released public — supr nova (@SuprnovaPools) Twitter user was the first person to make h4x3rotab’s damning Slack conversation available to the general public. In @SuprnovaPools’ snapshot, h4x3rotab’s admission is clear: “Yes, we will have a premine. The amount is not finalized but you can assume it should be less than 1% of the total supply.” To this end, some have come to the conclusion that the Bitcoin Gold developers have already pre-mined over 200,000 BTG coins. Not only is this pre-mining extremely deceitful, then, but it also means the Bitcoin Gold team can all but dump their pre-mined coins on exchanges post-November 1st.

First, they said premine, then No Premine, Now back to Premine, LOL and snapshot time gap only guarantees the premine will happen, — gonzobreakout (@gonzobreakout) Coinbase, Bittrex Refuse to Support BTG Two of the world’s most dominant crypto exchanges—Coinbase and Bittrex—have officially come out against supporting the Bitcoin Gold fork. Coinbase is standing their ground as the BTG devs refuse to release the BTG code, which is a huge “” for Coinbase’s compliance officers. Bittrex—the 3rd largest exchange in the world—is: “At this time, the information and codebase presented by the Bitcoin Gold team is not in a functional state and Bittrex will not commit to opening a Bitcoin Gold trading market.” What’s your take? Is Bitcoin Gold showing all the signs of being a scam, or is it getting a bad rap? Sound off in the comments below! Image via Coin News Asia.

The Bitcoin Gold team used ‘post-mine’ - a mining of 100,000 coins after the fork had already occurred. The team did this via a rapid mining of approximately 8,000 blocks at 12.5 BTG per block.

The bulk of premined coins have been placed into an ‘endowment’, and according to the developers will be used to grow and maintain the BTG ecosystem. However, of the 100K coins, some five percent were set aside as a bonus for the team, or about 833 coins for each of the six members. Criticisms and controversies [ ] A few days after the launch of the mainnet miners started accusing developer Martin Kuvandzhiev (StarbugBG) of adding a hidden 0.5% mining fee in the z-nomp code fork the team suggested to use. Suprnova and other mining pools allegedly found the hidden fee and removed it after examining the code causing some to speculate that the removal was related to why many found blocks didn't show up as paid to the finder and why Suprnova's chain was out of sync.
