Seems like nobody bothered to tell anybody how to setup the seeds so most of the block-chain's just went off in their own directions

The BIG CHINA pools seem to have had their own code, they seem  to have gotten all the pre-mine and early mining, while everybody else just pissed in the wind, and are still pissing in the wind, its now almost 16 hours post launch, and pools are down.

I can solo mine, but not sure if its worth it because of the 100million sols/sec from the china miners

DOES JACK LIAO have GPU-ASICS?? Where did this hash-power come from?

***

The problem here is  the code was released without working seed-nodes, and nobody was given bootstrap direcitons to pre-load the block-chain.

100% klusterfuck, except for the china owners of BTG

I have no idea why anyone bothers with BTG

Hoping for quick pump and dumbs or idiots overpaying for mining contracts.

Yes ,a very pathetic launch indeed.

I was going to mine it, not now.

BTG can suck my rooster.

seems just after they finished premine their own pool gone with the wrong blockchain
while suprnova and other pools were in the good one
now.. well i just don't know hat will happen now.
but clearly this is worst start ever of bitcoin's fork!

Sticking to Zen, Hush and BTCZ over here xx

so wait pool.gold was on wrong chain?

I mined 0.019 BTG and some was marked as paid.

now I have 0.001 immature ? ??? confused???

The official Bitcoin Gold pool cleared everyones stats which means everyone using this pool lost all their earnings.
What a bunch of useless idiots is running the show at Bitcoin Gold.......

Do not touch this coin with a 10 meter pole!!!!

Good I was sleeping when the supposedly real mining started :-D
At least nicehash profit is higher on equihash.

HM well that explains why i don't see anything on the Bitcoin Gold pool after 3 hours of mining it gets wiped out, i was on MinerTopia before i switched to Bitcoin Gold pool .

MinerTopia crashed and stopped mining it shows a balance but that's all atm an if I look on Bitcoin Gold pool it's blank, if the balance was wiped that explains why, what a piss job this is turning out to be.

I find the idea of a Blockchain's developer team directly involved in the mining competition of their own coin deeply disturbing. Let alone the hush-hush pre-mining.

Sounds like you describe bitmain and bcash to a T. 

BR

So, does that mean that I've been mining for 14h for nothing?

It seems that way. I shut my rig down a few hours ago until this mess gets straightened out. If it doesn't then I'll do something else. This launch has been the textbook definition of overpromise and underdeliver.

LOL. What a joke! I'm glad that I didn't waste time and hashing power on this.

Yeah I mined all day today with 3.0 Sols/s on pool.gold never got a immature coin the entire day just switched to supernova porbably go back to another coin feel like i just got ripped off.

This is funny.  :)

Just goes to show how unprofessional and OVERvalued bitcoin gold is. The sad part is that there are lots of other hardworking and competent teams out there working hard on projects that have a better product, yet have no funding compared to what bitcoin gold has. Dump all your bitcoin gold while you can.

having seen jack liao a.k.a lightningasic (in bitcointalk) treated his customers back in the day when he was selling miners i have no interest at all in his btc clone sc.. i mean endeavor ::) i didnt even claim my free coins ::)

but we are all miners here and we care less about ethics and more about profit so i kept my peace only to witness well...  ::) i avoid the word scam... let's just say another effort to screw the crypto community.

I had everything setup, pointing to pool.gold and left it running all night.

Checked balance in the morning, it was 0.

I literally deleted it off my PC.

I'm done with BTG. after wasting 2 days i've got 0.005 btg immature to show for it.

that's with 4k/sols

first lost 0.01 due to their bs error, then 12 hours before that due to launch delay and the past 18 hours only mined .005? their pools unstable af also.

100M sol/s? That is just the tip of their GPUasic mining power :D I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that ETH was also using asicGPU. It's killing me to see all of these new algorithms popping out nowadays, Funnily every new coin could be mined most efficiently by a specific model/ brand of GPU, As if some of them didn't have the technology to build asicGPU for a coin, They'd developed their own algorithm and then designed their own asicGPU and lastly launched their own coin. All of the coins with a different algo are trying to remake what happened with bitcoin and Satoshi.

I mined for 14hrs and it looked like I had 0 payments and 0 pending so I stopped mining BTG and switched to something else but I just checked and now I have .085 BTG in my wallet so it was working but I don't think I will go back to mining it.

Suprnova best pool.
