Bitcoin Gold: A Very Unorganized Plan to Hard Fork Bitcoin With Connections to the NO2x Movement
There’s been a lot of quarreling happening in the bitcoin space between Core software supporters and Segwit2x proponents. Because Segwit2x developers and miners plan to raise the block size to 2MB, a group of Core supporters started a movement called “NO2x.” The NO2x group does whatever it can to persuade people to join their fight against Segwit2x, and a few cryptocurrency luminaries are also backing the movement. One member of the NO2x movement, Robert Kuhne, appears to be one of the leaders of the Bitcoin Gold team. Kuhne uses the handle “rbtkhn” in the Slack channel and answers a lot of questions asked by visitors and the crypto-media. Kuhne’s official Twitter page where he calls himself “[NO2x],” also advertises the website btcgpu.org directly under his name proudly displaying that he’s involved with the project.

There are also many other flaws involved with the project that hopes to hard fork the Bitcoin network in just a few weeks. As we reported earlier, the team does not have a testnet of the network created, so miners can’t test the system. Further, unlike the Bitcoin Cash network, the BTG project still implements the same per-block difficulty adjustment as bitcoin (BTC) in its code, and has no signs of an Emergency Difficulty Adjustment (EDA). Additionally, unlike the website’s claims, there is no replay attack protection added to the protocol, even though the team is adamantly against Segwit2x not adding replay protection. Another disturbing aspect of the BTG project is the implementation of a pre-mine within the code called the “PoW retargeting change for BTG hard fork pre-mine period.
