Don't think so ... they're open about everything they do ... but I do feel they're not 100% ready for the 25th

They're not rolling out on the 25th - they're just forking (i.e. copying the ledger) then. Rollout beginning next month

What time is the fork happening? Seeing mixed views about this all over.

Its when bitcoin reaches block 491,407. When that block is reached is difficulty to predict exactly. Looks like somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

Check out the BTG site for the countdown timer (estimate)

I missed out on NEO at a low yesterday, I'm hoping it goes back there before the fork, my BTC is waiting on Bittrex ready to buy, I could care less about BTC gold, any other coins/tokens that are worth buying at the moment?

I bought a small amount of Bridgecoin (BCO) which was trading fairly cheap yesterday. They too are working on a DEX and have a demo running. 50% tradings fees to be distributed among BCO holders. What I liked about them is that they had no ICO, cutting out the money grab possibility, also no premined. What I do not like is that they claim an international team with experience, but give no details.

Total coins is 27 million of which 25 million have been mined so far (difficulty increase / coin emit halvings should elongate that process a bit). I am mining with a 1070 and gtx 450 (scrypt) but seems cheaper at the moment just to buy directly.

b.t.w. I see people writing that they are selling of BTC just Before the fork snapshot to buy back into altcoins. Why would they want to sell before the snapshot :confused:

Because if btc price falls sharply after the fork you're stuck waiting however many hours for btc transactions to take place & losing money. Buying alts with a strong btc prior to the fork is a better return than ending up with a weaker btc after the fork. I'm guessing.

Now for some of those alts to recover back to their previous positions - luckily a lot of them are up 20% and climbing. Getting some btc sent across now to buy one or two that haven't bounced back yet.

Need to look at some ICO's now as I should ROI end of the month with my mining.

Hoping ETN goes to the moon, only ICO I invested in so far.
