(NEVER REFUNDED)

As almost everyone in the crypto world knows after Segwit there appeared too many forks (Bitcoin Cash,Bitcoin Gold etc.) but it’s not the topic of this article.The biggest reason is the BITCOIN GOLD aka BTG fork.

In the beginning they premined 8000 blocks or 100,000 BTG for them.

After the official BTG cryptocurrency release in 12.11.2017 they linked a wallet called “My BTG Wallet” — https://mybtgwallet.com in their official website (https://bitcoingold.org).

In 13.11.2017 1 day after the release

The bitcoin gold development team is under fire once again as the currency’s mining community has discovered a hard-coded hidden fee protocol found within one of the bitcoin gold developer’s mining pool code. Miners say that BTG core developer, Martin Kuvandzhiev (StarbugBG), added a hidden 0.5 percent fee into his pool’s code that pays the fees directly to his wallet.

  • And the wallet linked to the website of course was a scam(then i realised that the wallet was hacked).Later the link was removed from their site.Somehow the wallet creator John dash have proposed his wallet on BTG Official Github and they started working together before the scam.Many people have been burned and the investigation of the problem is proceeding.

Last day as anyone else i started claiming my BTG coins unaware of the wallet scam.

I downloaded BTG wallet from the official site (https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/)
and have claimed my BTG’s with "privkey". Then my BTG coins showed in my wallet.
But after few hours they get stolen! From the developers of mybtgwallet.com.

I guess that developers of the wallet have stolen my coins beacause, my "privkey" is only entered on a developer wallet.I think the developers of BTG are responsible for that issue because of linking and working with scammer and they must restore my 58 BTG coins and the other peoples coins because i’m not alone.

I contacted the main developer of BTG Martin Kuvandzhiev and he said that 4 people are working on the situation . Stay tuned at their slack and twitter for updated. We will keep the post updated as well.
