Design seeks to level the playing field and make mining more accessible and fair for individual participants.The Replay Protection is an important safety feature implemented in Bitcoin Gold to protect users’ transactions. In the context of a hard fork, without replay protection, it is possible that a transaction on one chain could be “replayed” on the other chain, causing users to lose funds potentially.In a scenario where an individual possesses Bitcoin (BTC) at the juncture of the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) fork. Post-fork, this individual would hold a corresponding amount of BTG. If this individual elects to transact using their BTG, and the new chain lacks replay protection, it is possible that their BTC could inadvertently be transacted as well, given that the transaction could be replicated across both networks. Replay protection in Bitcoin Gold prevents this by ensuring that transactions made on the Bitcoin Gold network are invalid on the original Bitcoin network, and vice versa. It creates a unique situation for every transaction making it impossible for them to be duplicated across both networks. The method modifies how transactions are signed, effectively segregating the two networks. A new transaction format includes a flag incorporated into the signature part of each Bitcoin Gold transaction, rendering it invalid on the original Bitcoin network. Similarly, transactions on the Bitcoin network lack this flag and are therefore deemed invalid on the Bitcoin Gold network.
