BITCOIN GOLD NETWORK UPGRADE SUCCESS, JULY 3

This Upgrade was a hardfork, which simply means that software upgrades were mandatory. (No new coin was created.)

  • new PoW algo: Equihash-BTG
    prevents current ASICs from mining
  • improved DAA
    better response to hashrate swings

The changes were scheduled for block height block height (536200), which occurred July 3, 2018 at 9:59:26 PM UTC. The mining network switched smoothly to the new PoW and re-stabilized on the new DAA within hours.

Exchanges have been re-opening their wallets for deposit and withdrawal based on their readiness, and reducing confirmation requirements to pre-fork levels.

Milestone: June 3, 2018
