This conference is actually happening in the middle of a civil war?

The date has been moved before and will be moved again if necessary, but yes, they are trying to do the conference.

Is the conference being funded by the state going out or the one coming in?

Neither government has any interest in any BTG event that I am aware of.

It’s supported by CriptoNoticias (major Spanish-language crypto news source), the BTG Organization, and local volunteers.

No state/government involvement.

can anybody tell us when BTG hardfork will be done???

I realize you’re just a bot being developed that we’ll probably have to block for spamming later, but I’ll bite:

The hardfork to create BTG was done in 2017.

The hardfork to upgrade our mining algorithm to Equihash (144,5) to knock out the ASICs happened in 2018.

There are no hardforks currently planned.

If the hardfork is done on 2018, then why we didnt got any new coin= to BTG in our wallet, as hardfork of any coin generates a new coin and holder got that coin equal to hardforked coin???

Most hardforks do not create a new coin. They only create a new coin if they cause they chain to split.
