What is a Bitcoin Gold node?

A Bitcoin Gold node is a computer (server) with a client program that participates in the Bitcoin Gold network by maintaining a complete copy of the blockchain and validating transactions and blocks. It helps to secure the network and ensures the accuracy and integrity of the network.

How to run a Bitcoin Gold node?

To run a Bitcoin Gold node, you need to download and install the Bitcoin Gold Core software, which is the official client for the network. Once installed, you can configure the software and start running a node by connecting to other nodes in the network.

What is a BTG full node?

A BTG full node refers to a complete implementation of the Bitcoin Gold protocol that stores a complete copy of the blockchain and independently validates all transactions and blocks. It enables users to have full control over their funds, enhances security, and helps maintain the decentralization of the Bitcoin Gold network.

What is Bitcoin Gold RPC?

Bitcoin Gold RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol that allows communication between a client and a server to remotely execute commands and retrieve information from the network. It provides a way for developers and applications to interact with a Bitcoin Gold node programmatically.

How does Bitcoin Gold API work?

The Bitcoin Gold API (Application Programming Interface) allows developers to access and interact with the network programmatically. It provides a set of predefined methods and functions that developers can use to retrieve information, perform transactions, and build applications that integrate with the blockchain.

Bitcoin Gold RPC: Why should you choose it?

Bitcoin Gold is one of the largest forks of Bitcoin, the first blockchain. The network forked from its predecessor in Q4, 2017 with the purpose to change the hash mining algorithm.

Just like all Bitcoin-like Proof-of-Work cryptocurrencies, BTG doesn’t support smart contracts by default. Despite this fact, it can be used for payment modules, centralized exchanges, non-custodial wallets, and so on.
The blockchain gained popularity as a more community-driven and less centralized version of the Bitcoin network. At the same time, it retains security and decentralization levels of its original codebase.
BTG still shares some elements of design with Bitcoin: its supply is capped at 21 million BTG coins, it has 10 min block time and halving events occur in the network every four years.
It replaced Bitcoin’s initial version of the mining algorithm with Equihash-BTG, a version of ZCash mining algorithm. This change was initiated to make BTG mining more ASIC-resistant, and, therefore, more democratic and inclusive.
