At around 03h20 on 24 October 2017 block 491407 processed and the Bitcoin Gold hard fork took place and Bitcoin Gold was born.
Everyone who held a positive Bitcoin balance at Altcointrader has been credited with the same amount of Bitcoin Gold.
While we expect to have trading live on our platform later today, it will be some time before deposits and withdrawals are allowed, this will only be allowed once the network is stable and we are sure that our systems are secure.
We assure you that we are working hard to get deposits and withdrawals of BTG active as soon as safely possible...
