Luno will not support Bitcoin Gold

The Bitcoin Gold fork is estimated to happen on 25 October, said Luno.
Bitcoin Gold balances have been credited
At around 03h20 on 24 October 2017 block 491407 processed and the Bitcoin Gold hard fork took place and Bitcoin Gold was born.

It already happened :rolleyes:

“We will not use or sell them.
Yeah right. Just give us our BTG :mad:
 
They should give people the bitcoin gold or sell it for them on the spot otherwise they pocket.
 
time to find another exchange Bye
 
It already happened :rolleyes:
Yeah kinda pointless posting this now when the blocks were already locked last night.

Anyway - I don't have an issue with it. There are loads of exchanges not supporting it. They all have sufficient warning to get your coins to a wallet or exchange that did,

So they offer a really good service but you're leaving because of bitcoingold?
Maybe just put your btc into a wallet next time.

Luno's latest on Bitcoin Gold:

"When Bitcoin Gold gets created, by forking from the main Bitcoin branch, those tokens will be securely held by Luno. We will not use or sell them. If Bitcoin Gold proves to be safe, supported and valuable in future, we’ll consider giving customers access to it at that stage. At this stage, it seems very unlikely."

So if they don't use them or sell them, then what... Strange how they say they'll "consider giving customers access".

Because if it's a pos coin they're not going to waste their time implementing the changes that will allow them to distribute and facilitate forked coins. I'm guessing it's a fair amount of work that would need to be done.

I'm well aware of that. But read it again. "If Bitcoin Gold proves to be safe, supported and valuable in future, we’ll consider giving customers access to it".

If it is safe, supported and valuable they shouldn't need to consider it. It should be done as next logical step. That one word creates doubt.

Problem is their idea of "safe, supported and valuable" might not be what yours is.

All bogus reasons being perpetuated by a bunch of haters that don't want to lose their exclusivity. One would think a reputable exchange would know the facts beforehand.
 
BTG IMHO is a scamcoin anyway .. it bears no difference from any other premined POW coin ... bar the fact that it has an existing ledger, which in my mind is just a sales pitch to give it some credibility... If you want a equihash coin .. then get ZCASH ... why bother using the old BTC ledger at all ...

They had the same stance with BCH but then buckled under the pressure. They then claimed it's because it traded above the threshold for months. Interesting when they made that statement BCH didn't even exist on paper for much longer than a month. I'm seriously starting to distrust this company when they make such inaccurate statements and don't tell the truth about their real motivations.
