Bitcoin Gold Just Launched And Didn't Launch at the Same Time

Lead developer of Bitcoin Gold, who goes by the nickname h4x3rotab and appropriately has a cat avatar, told Trustnodes earlier today:

“When bitcoin reaches the fork height, bitcoin will continue as if nothing happens. At the same time, our client is not ready, so there’s no main chain of BTG. But after a few days, when BTG client is ready for mainchain launch, the BTG blockchain will be created.

After a few days, or more likely weeks, when they are actually ready to do a real actual chain-split, they will discard all that history accumulated since October 24th, with their clients so synchronizing up to block 491,407, and then diverging to their own chain.

H4x3rotab says “when essential features like anti-replay is done, we will be able to bring up the testnet.” He also confirms the consensus code has not been finalized, stating “currently mostly focusing on replay protection. And the bootstrap of the testnet.”

So quite a bit more work to do until the actual, real, launch. However, even that won’t be a real, real, launch because they are to have a pre-mine window before opening it to the public for mining.
