what's bitcoin gold?
Bitcoin Gold is a cryptocurrency that emerged as a hard fork of Bitcoin in October 2017, founded by Jack Liao, with the primary goal of decentralizing mining by making it accessible to individuals using common GPU hardware instead of specialized ASICs. It uses the Equihash proof-of-work algorithm to promote fairer distribution of mining power and prevent centralization. The project enhances the crypto space through compatibility with Bitcoin features like SegWit and the Lightning Network. Since April 2024, it has focused on merging back with Bitcoin to expand applications. Bitcoin Gold aims to improve the overall quality of the cryptocurrency ecosystem by upholding ideals of decentralization and community-driven development.
