Status of first BTG Block

Dear Bitcoin Gold Miners

There was a bug in the BTG pool code that caused our first block to be submitted using an ill-formed recipient address.

Therefore the pool did not receive the block reward. The BTG team wasn't really playing nice here as they use the software developed by myself for Coinfoundry and the community for their own pool. Unfortunately they never communicated back to me that they made some changes to make the coin work correctly.

I've fixed the problem this morning and future blocks will work correctly. Since this was an error purely on the pool's side, I've just funded the BTG pool with the missing block reward from my own money and payments will go out soon.

Regards,

Oliver
