Bitcoin Gold is a hard fork of Bitcoin that aims to combine the strengths of the original blockchain with innovation and development possibilities. The company's co-founders, Hang Yin and Martin Kuvandzhiev, bring varied backgrounds and skills to the project. Bitcoin Gold uses a new proof-of-work algorithm that combats scalability issues, and as an open-source protocol, developers can participate in governance and development of the blockchain. The company has attracted institutional and enterprise investors and is available on various exchanges. Bitcoin Gold uses the Equihash PoW, which favors GPUs for mining, and values the processing power of miners.
