Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys,

just read a post about the new hardfork. I heard that the mining difficulty for Bitcoin Gold will be again "easy". Is that true? Can I use the cards I use for ethereum mining, for Bitcoin Gold?

Thank you in advance!

That is the goal of Bitcoin Gold. They want to make it ASIC proof so that only GPUs can Mine it. I definitely will try it out when it comes out.

Wondering what rig would be profitable, at least in the beginning. Because right now, my ZEC 4X480 Nitro's aint making shit.
Plus what happened with all that "save the worlds energy,go green" crap. With all that mining farms that mined Ethereum until now, these guys are sure to get a nice start up hash power. What else do they have to offer. I just hope they will give us ZEC guys some room to breathe

Is there any more informations that BTC Gold will be GPU mineable? If it will be I will try it for sure.

Yes, that's what the developers of btc gold are saying. They claim that BTC gold can be easily mined by using gpu cards, so that everyone can mine it from their home. Bitcoin can be mined by only those who have asic miner which is quite expensive and many cannot afford to buy that. But you don't need a asic miner for BTC Gold and this is also the major difference between bitcoin and bitcoingold. Anyways lets wait for its release to know more about its mining procedures.

You should be able to use the same cards you use for Ethereum to mine Bitcoin Gold.
Bitcoin gold is going to use the Equihash, which is the same as Zcash you can also mine with your cards.
However the speed may be lower then cards from a different brand, as you're now mining Ethereum you probably have AMD, which is better for Ethash. NVIDEA seems to be more optimized for Equihash ming. Mining difficulty will be easy at first but will rapidly increase is my guess, I think a lot of people are going to mine Bitcoin Gold when it releases.

It will be "easy", but if there's even a sliver of profitability, expect the difficulty to go up an insane amount.

Well the difficulty is supposed to be not as high as bitcoin and BCH as they plan to make it ASIC resistant.
It will run on the Equihash algorithm which is the same as Zcash. Therefore, it will be mineable with all the current GPUs.

I'm not sure how profitable it's going to be at the beginning though as almost everyone will probably jump into it to try it out which means a sudden spike in hashrate and difficulty. What's more interesting is its mining profitability in two or three months.

Actually considering that it might be a successful one and attract some miners from zcash and other equi coins, does that mean difficulty can go on those other coins ? Which means more money as diff should go down ?

I'm not sure but all I can say is that there's a lot of interesting stuff to come and this is one of them.

PS: Move this topic to the mining(altcoins) section. Any coin other than btc belongs there (even splits and hard-forked ones)

Bitcoin golding are the their limited supply and huge demand.
Bitcoin is a virtual currency,  it's is mined and generated,  but it's rate of generation is very slow and that creates a demand and it's unavailability create a price hike among the people.
Bitcoin become an source of easily trading and exchanging goods.

Even bitcoin invented satoshi expects bitcoin to be mined easily using PC cores and GPU cards alone but now we able to mine the bitcoin using ASIC miners alone. Just wait till the splitting is taken part, after that only we can say 100% percent how it is been mined.
Even in the time of last hard fork August itself, we all expects that two coins gonna split from bitcoin now it is gonna become real soon.

Only problem with Bitcoin Gold is that it is going to be distributed to everyone that has Bitcoin. Expect a lot of dumping on the markets when it makes its debut. By the time you move your coins from pool to market, it's profitability may vanish.

I think Bitcoin Gold was made to mine with GPU but I read the article that make a statement that no clear instructions are available for how to split your BTC from your BTG. Exchanges and software/hardware wallets are still deciding on whether they’ll support this fork.

I hope it stays GPU only, i know it won't have as much hashrate as BTC due to no asics but it will keep it away from being controlled by the chinese

As a matter fact the BTG as i understand it its designed and built to work only on CPU.
It could work on GPU but the mining price would be very expansive and quite difficult to set up.

Bitcoin Gold is intended for mining on video cards, so you can mine them for yours video cards. Bitcoin Gold will uses the same algorithm as ZCash (Zec).

how  about  the  value  of  bitcoin  gold  mining?
i  check  the  profit  seen  like  very  low!
except  your  elec  power  is free  or  it wont  have  profit

I doubt that Bitcoin gold would be a very popular. At least it's hard to scale up from low investment, since you'll need multiple minners to be profitable. While with other cryptocurrencies you at least can start with a single minner, get your money back relatively quickly and invest new profits in more equipment.

Using equihash algorithm, same as ZEC. NVIDIA mining rigs will be suitable for BTG mining.

Bitcoin gold mining change a lot of lives of bitcoin users and make it very easy for them to mine bitcoin gold, the purpose of bitcoin gold mining here is to make people alert and happy about bitcoin gold while in bitcoin people will used Asic miners I think which is pretty expensive but  bitcoin gold is different.

Bitcoin gold is the new form of bitcoin which make people hopeful make the investment of bitcoin very easy here the bitcoin gold mining means that before bitcoin gold people mine only bitcoin while in bitcoin mining they will must need to pay expensive to get Asic card to mine bitcoin but now bitcoin gold mining is pretty good and not expensive.

if its equihash the name is only thing that is bitcoin.. could have named Equihash gold

Now all coins have reduced the profitability of production and are on the verge of profitability. I hope that the bitcoin gold change the situation. I will try to get it. Maybe other coins will be forced to raise the profitability of production in order to compete with bitcoin gold. In any case, I hope for change for the better.

mining profits are going down forever no coin will change that because those who want to mine is not like 2012

Are there any launch date?

The 25th, exactly in a week.

Bitcoin gold hard fork explained coming october 25th 

https://mobile.twitter.com/bitcoingold
http://www.btcgold.biz/

https://99bitcoins.com/the-bitcoin-gold-hard-fork-explained-coming-october-25th/?utm_source=99Bitcoins+blog+updates&utm_campaign=f084d1e9ad-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_10_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ca691db33c-f084d1e9ad-120366725

In any case, the Bitcoin Gold will take part of the power of mining from the altcoins. So that the miners of all coins will be satisfied.

I don't think many people will mine it from the start, you'll get your BTG a lot faster by importing your private keys than waiting for blocks to mature.

I guess the wallet link will be made available only on 25th........ waiting

I would hold off i know some won't but i am just gonna have some btc on that key encase an wait till i see it's ok to use safety . and gonna start Mining day one if it's possible with 4 rigs...

I read that wallet will be available on November 1, may be something has already changed. I've been reading this for a long time.

Really looking forward to CPU/GPU mining of bitcoin gold

On October 25, 2017, will be a hardfork. This event is very tempting for those who already have on Bitcoin accounts. Next October 25, your will receive gold bitcoins due to your amount of BTC. But in order to acquire these bitcoins, you will most likely need a separate wallet.

And we also get bitcoin segwit2x at that exact same time, good times! My plan is to dump them both as soon as possible and buy back my alts.

I made BTC2 off BTC6 in Poloniex loans from the August fork.  Maybe lightning can strike twice?  :)
(Yes, I know the community's feeling on Polo but I haven't had a problem with them.  Yet.  Got more eggs elsewhere.)

The most you could of made was 5% and that rate was only there for maybe 24 hours.

I don't see how you could of made 2BTC of 6BTC.

If you borrowed 2BTC against a trade, you were creditted with 6BCC after the fork.

Definitely yes, the difficulty will be easy on the start but it won't last long as the popularity of cryptocurrencies rises. Bitcoin gold will be created so to prevent ASIC hardwares to mine it. This will give GPU miners a chance for this venture.

BTG mining will start at 1st november.
Our pool is one of the officially supported for BTG.
Check our news to be prepared for mining:
http://www.nibirupool.com

Is there any official ANN thread?
Unfortunately, can't find any.

I think the most popular thead is this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2171754.0

Anyway if you will find official - just write here please.

So could you theoretically borrow, say, 10 btc, hold'em over the fork, and then claim the corresponding quantity in BTG? If so, where would you do this, and how much do they charge for the borrowing cost?

Not everyone closed their margin positions after 24 hours.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/Aq3z5otbzpdtdw7v1
Screenshot taken on August 5th.  The biggest loan closed with 1.37BTC in interest.  I don't know what he was thinking but he paid for our kitchen remodeling project.
The smaller ones stayed open for another week after that.  The total interest from all fork loans before fees was close to 2BTC.

If it will be I will try it for sure.  :o

I wil also try to mine BTG if it starts with low difficulty.

With what they stated, DEV will mine for 2 months(?) to "maintain stability" of the chain. Some complete bullshit, 1st the premine, then 2 months of solo mining for the dev. What a fucking joke, 2 months or 2 weeks does not matters. With the BTG launching as stated no large exchange will be listing them. This is all smoke and mirrors for someone to gain from, i.e. shorting btc, buying into alts cheaply... The fact that bittrex is even planning to lock btc wallets for the snapshot, before the code is even completed is laughable.

I was initially hoping to make some money off this fork but the way they are going about this with the pre mine and no replay is making me nervous.  I am not planning on taking any aggressive moves to try and do anything at this point.  I think a case could be made to say they are trying to build off the success of the last fork and make as much as they can for themselves and that is about it. I will just keep my BTC on my Trezor and see what shakes out.  Maybe grab some cheap altcoins in the meantime. 

There is no basis to determine if the initial difficulty will be easy or not.
Probably a lot of people will start to instantly mine the coin and yes you can mine it with a normal GPU.
The hashrate will be the same that in zcash

when does mining start block 491407?
 two website with different countdowns

https://www.crypto-news.net/bitcoin-gold-btg-hard-fork-countdown-clock/
https://btcgpu.org/

i hour difference between them 3:45 utc  2:15 utc or is it the 25th?

Can i already start mining BTG after 7 hours when for will happen?

The more I read and learn about Bitcoin Gold the more I don't think the dev team know what they are doing and it looks like a good money making scheme for them.

It's already traded here: https://goo.gl/5pYYce

More information for those interested .....

https://youtu.be/XL_vodC8OZo (https://youtu.be/XL_vodC8OZo)


I do like the underlying premise ...... BTC Gold will exist to take the power away from the few massive mining companies that build and mine with ASICs and give it back to the individual miners via GPUs.     

This thing has no useful purpose that isn't already accomplished better by other alts.  I don't understand the hype over this one.  Are people just thinking because it will fork you get free money for having BTC the way you did with bitcoin cash?  There are already equihash cryptos with superior characteristics to bitcoin.  Why would I want to use a slow ass transacting coin when I can use a faster one?  If it's just about getting rid of asics well hell we got that already with monero, eth, and zcash all of which are technically superior to BTC already.

Wowh this is a good news to all of us who loves mining.
I am a miner also and if this coins will give us less difficulty to mine I would love to switch in this coin.
I am looking forward to it and I am hoping to gain profit from it.

Everyone know about it people who are Bitcoin will receive Bitcoin gold coins and they start dumping the coins in the market. I think there are many people mining Bitcoin gold in order to dump in the market. Owner are not developing for long term just to make money they are releasing these coins at the time forks.

So, is the mining started yet?

NO!! say that it starts on November 1, maybe later
but i'm still I think that this is a failed campaign

i am so excited to start mining bitcoing goldddd is gonna be hugee yeayeayea...please don`t mine guyss it is a scammm hahahaha

We'd be lucky to see a working wallet to claim our 1:1 BTG by then. All BTG has accomplished up until now is crashing the alts.

what is the difference of bitcoin gold to bitcoin? and how can we had BTG?

BTG is trading on yobit , but be warned you may loose money. BTG is forming as a scam at least there should be good indications before investing into it.

They removed all their post from twitter and their main page is down for now which is not good indication.

Major exchange Bittrex say thay there is no open code, so nobody will add this coin to exchange due to big risk of hack atack or something like this.
So now what I saw not good at all...

I strongly doubt that the course of the BTG will be high, and as soon as it starts to merge,  it will still go well and in the end of BTG

Since it's a fork, you got bitcoin gold "for free" if you had regular bitcoin in your wallet yesterday. That's why bitcoin's market was so bullish these last days.

Careful it's a scam, they tried to get an ICO at first to pre mine 16000 block /200 000 btg which they are currently doing don't fall for this go check their website from before they annonce

https://web.archive.org/web/20170831032225/http://btcgpu.org/

There's CODE, its just the normal BITCOIN-CLONE that doesn't compile or work

Only an expert can make it compile, it breaks, there is no seednode, there is no wallet or replay

There is nothing, there isn't even a working block-chain, all there is a WEBSITE, and a few russian exchanges are trading the virtual coin.

The fact that this 'fork' was so well promoted, and that it locked up BTC for 24 hours shows that some super higher power of butt-fuckery is involved in this SHIT-COIN.

All WEBSITE and NO SOFTWARE, where have we seen this before?

This is what happens when a CHINESE ASIC HW  firm decides to ICO a GPU BITCOIN, you get BTG.

Trying to mine via the instruction at
btgmine.org

I get this error:

I assume that is because mining is still not active, right?

Also, is there now a "Core" full node software to use, or still only Android/iOS wallets?

Thanks!

From what I heard, it becomes active formally on November 1st. It's supposedly ASIC proof, so people with antmienrs and Avalons can't mine it unless they use their GPUs.
But... considering their removal of posts on social media, their crashing and downed website, and a lack of source code according to some exchanges, I wouldn't invest too heavily here for the time being. Of course, that's just me ^^

Honestly, the whole gold thing is a little sketchy. Bitcoin Cash released at the perfect moment to appear to be a full forking, this one is coming out of the stalls early, wanting BTC private keys in exchange for something that may or may not have value, and may or may not be heavily pre-mined. The whole thing is confusing as far as security and I would do nothing more than mine some coins, not exchange or buy in for at least two weeks.

It can be mined by using your GPU.  Although it might very electricity consuming.  As the amount you mined is very less value than the amount of electricity you will spend to mine it.. Gpu system is using is easy but it consumes so much energy.  The amount of electricity used to obtain a fraction of it is more valuable than the price of the bitcoin gold.  Bitcoin Gold is firm bitcoin fork.  Cryptocurreny are changing the world.  New cryptocurreny are been launched with more benefits and less disadvantages.

I think they changed it to 100,000.

Agreed, this sounds great in theory but in reality there's still very little to show after the fork.

I think it will really depend on the developer team, how they will promote their product.
They got great brand association with bitcoin, but for now it is just another coin on EquilHash.
No difference with ZEN/ZEC/ZCL etc
The only difference if adaptive network difficulty which means you can earn more if no one will mine it.
But still not sure how they implement it. But i want to believe in them thats why I'm launching pool to mine BTG btghash.com (http://btghash.com)

It looks like a scam to me, i have yet to see code and a working wallet. Some big money has been poured in to this with the recent BTC spike which is a shame. Lots of people are going to get scammed by this.

If there is no wallet and we cant see actual replay protection being implemented then i think its best just to watch the show from a distance.

Honestly if their main selling feature is that it is 'asic proof' then really it needs to do more.

You want asic proof? Try vertcoin, pretty much any equihash coin like zcash, even ethereum which will likely go POS next year before asics become a problem.

I'm really not sure of the long game for bitcoin gold. My guess is that their main hope is that the 'free' bitcoin gold people got from having regular bitcoin is to try and get people hyped for it and use it, even though there is already bitcoin cash and a bunch of other altcoins that are asic resistant. Also they are probably hoping the name 'bitcoin' will help keep it relevant.

But hey, I could be wrong, we'll see.

In fact, Bitcoin Gold will not differ much from the usual bitcoin. The main difference is to give the opportunity to dig up coins to miners who use video cards as opposed to large pools built on ASICs. That's why another name for "gold" is Bitcoin GPU.

So tomorrow start BTG mining? Is it still valid date?

Correct me if I am wrong but Still no details about Bitcoin gold mining , kinda disappointed
Well just 1 day till 1st nov , Just have to wait and see
In my opinion this coin had some potential but these delays and lack of communication/announcements might just kill the coin :(
BTCBTCBTC

Ther is "bitcoinz"... if kicks on nVidia, specialy on 1080Ti... Bitcoinz is like BTC Gold, but without a scam!!!

mining will not start today, follow us on twitter and join telegram to be informed in time.
we are one of the officially supported pools for BTG


BTW bitcoinz rocks!

bitcoin gold sounds like it's basically a generic coin with the bitcoin name on it. 

I think bitcoinz is the best option, a true decentralized coin.

Is bitcoinz  a coin or a token?
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoinz/

Is a coin : https://bitcoinz.global/en/

I would wait and see the outcome of November.  It can either make or break the coin and there is too much that is unknown right now. Is there a pre-mine, is there going to be a lot of miners, a lot of traders, or nothing at all. They are expecting people to trade a $5500 coin for something that is pretty unknown in value and every other aspect.

Mining should start within 1h allegedly https://bitcoingold.org/day-1-testnet/
There is a 100k premine, and about 200 people mine on testnet at https://btg.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=login

Id like to know the earnings mining it with gpu. Who has some info?
Its equihash this too like bitcoinz?

keep calm gyus, main net is not ready, better try to mine something useful right now.
we'll inform everyone on twitter before mainnet launch

today will be second attempt of testnet.

I followed the tutorial on Youtube, am mining with EBWF cuda miner 0.3.4b on pool.mining.sg , I just copied the configuration file example, removed the address there with a real BTC address and the miner started working correctly ? Now is this some sort of scam that I have fallen into or it is real ? Also how will we get paid from this mining pool cause it shows no details ?

Edit: Turned back to Winminer, nothing clear here as of yet for me.

okay i wil be tuned then!! thanks

BITCOIN GOLD create another opportunity for miners who has seeing bitcoin mining a very difficult task and unprofitable. I have read many articles on how to mining bitcoin gold in days to come with your graphics processing unit and it seemed easy to me compared  to mining some other coin. We have to take advantage of the opportunity created by this splitting in other to convert our unused tools to bitcoin gold mining.

Its not live yet as far as i know.
Nobody clearly explains anything even in these youtube videos and they never show or demonstrate AMD and NVIDIA mining process as its normally very different.

Dont stress about it.

There are 2 pools which currently offer this coin to be mined BUT its on a test network not live network.

Its just practicing.

For now i am using WinMiner also and having fun in the sun here in Johannesburg.

Until we hear more.

This bitcoin gold fiesco is taking way too long
This lack of information and communication makes me think that Bitcoin gold is gonna fail before it even has a chance
Theres also the pre-mine
Lets see where its ends up , Believe its gonna be released soon
It will be really sad if the b2x releases before this  that might actually be even worse .
Anyways 7400 usd price of bitcoin wew ;D ;D ;D

Exactly what I was thinking.

They added some info today:

Testnet Manual. https://bitcoingold.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Bitcoin-Gold-Testnet-Participation-Manual.pdf (https://bitcoingold.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Bitcoin-Gold-Testnet-Participation-Manual.pdf)

Explorer. http://btgblocks.com/testnet/ (http://btgblocks.com/testnet/)

I just follow twitter and slack for info. Looks like there is going to be a testnet reset on Nov 8th with a difficulty bomb, so that means not going live before then.

I doubt that Bitcoin gold would be a very popular. But I will try to get it.

Current rumors says 10-11 nov for mainnet.
warm up your cards before

Oh nice this is going to be a great fork if this is the case. Can't wait to run my GPU to its MAX.

Mining on Ubuntu, what will I need to install to get ready for the BCC GPU run?

BTG result of mixing BTC and ZEC. zec algo mixing with btc adresses very hard work. I think release will be after b2x hard fork, if not later

Can someone explain to me why since the testnet is running since November 1st why this person received 3000 btg on October 15th ?

http://btgblocks.com/testnet/address/mmd6PvfQtcchEpA2SJn3UPZULYay57eyXW

dev's said they will mine to the current block to where they're currently at. It was for them only and they announced it a month prior to it happening

I'm waiting for new information

No wallet, no mining.
No exchange, no profit.
I hope that BTG wallet won't be coming SOOOOOOOON.

Wallets are live what do u mean?

Go to github.com/btcgpu

click issues, then click 'resolved' issues, as the dev's try to hide the real shit

updates daily in there by the community hacking the code everyday, and reporting what they find,

essentially the software is becoming more unstable and now the testnet will be extended another week, even the only working pool ( pool.gold ) is not paying out test coins, all of the software is shit, as the dev's don't know c++ and are over their heads,

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

"Closed issues" are the GOLD, these are the issues that the chinese HW miners are trying to hide from public,

Essentially these HW guys at china-asic that forked the BTG bitch, don't have a fucking clue about what they're doing.

There has never been any real mining to date on BTG, what you see there are just "GENESIS" block transactions that are inserted in the code at birth of the block-chain.

All is created by scratch the BTG is NOT compatible with existing BTC chain as its 2MB and the BTC is 1M.

At this point even when you get a 'payout' on mining pool "pool.gold" where they show a payout the BGOLDD daemon will still show 'zero' when you use 'bgold-cli getbalance' this is because the testnet software doesn't work, and they don't know how to make it work.

still testnet for mining?

 :) need more infomation before any consideration..

With Claymores BTG Miner v12.6, this is error I see in miner txt file, after my screen goes blue and PC restart:
"OC v7, Reset control for GPU 0, close miner right now if you want to use default control from Catalyst"

I use 470/480 Crimson Beta 23.Aug and tryed Crimson 17.11.2 and 17.7.2, same problem.
How to fix that Catalyst error? Drivers work well mining eth.

testnet until 2018, perhaps main-net in 2019, but never mind exchanges will run the ICO to the moon

nobody cares about software anymore, BITCOIN-GOLD can run as a futures-coin to $1Million USD

I had exactly the same.

people at "MinerGate" had announced that they would implement the Bitcoin Gold mining on their platform, but so far they have not heard from anyone yet.

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of prepping my pool for the upcoming bitcoin gold main net.

I set up my pool with dedicated servers for best performance and have managed pools in the past for some heavy hitting bitcoin peeps.

Anyhow I could use some testing, feedback on the site.  Ill be adding more features.

Remember this is on Testnet right now, so any coins have no value until the main net comes on line in a few days.

check it out here GPU Gold (https://gpugold.com/)

If all runs well Ill add other coins ..

What is the target hashrate for Sapphire Nitro RX470 4GB for this coin? Currently my settings are good for ETH, getting about 29.3-29.9mh/s
For BTG, it hangs..

You have an error on mainpage, in the section miner apps, it can confuse somebody. Should be equihash miner instead of eth miner.

Very few people believed in future of Bitcoin Gold, but in a week it showed the growth of almost +3%. It will be not a problem if you use right equipment for mining.
For instance, get Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080 TI GAMING OC Edition.
Check for good motherboard (like Biostar TB250-BTC PRO 12 GPU SUPPORT LGA 1151).

I think this is just a beginning of the bitcoin where gold essentially was the site of the existence of the bitcoin, so I think if you want to get an advantage in the mining bitcoin gold then surely we must also understand well bitcoin gold origin and don't do the mining. Looking for reference is indeed the best thing, but if indeed you basically haven't understand well mining then big losses you can get. Because sometimes there are people who want to look for its own advantage.

Test net for a year? Surely not?

What ICO? I dont see any connection between bitcoin gold and an ico! Wasnt it offered to the bitcoin holders?
The thought of mining bitcoin gold with my gpu seems very interesting and im sure they will have alot of miners.

thats.. my website is still in test mode :) cheers!

Today is starting :)

no not until sunday bud

Is there a Linux miner?

And will we be able to solo mine with one or two rigs?

So is this going "live" anyway? tomorrow?

Hi guys,

Has anyone got BTG wallet yet?
I tried to find a BTG wallet, but no luck.

Anyone please tell me how to get the BTG wallet.

Yikes $300 already and BitcoinCash $1100.

All these forks are rallying while Bitcoin is dropping.

Today is great day for BTG.

Mainnet launch at 1900 UTC Novermber 12 2017.

Wallets are avaible for download. Meanwhile our pool completele ready for mining on testnet so you can test your miners for correct configuration!
We are really welcoming any testers and miners!

Where can i create Wallet?

I'm surprised this is actually happening. I honestly would have thought this scamcoin is not even coming this far. Lets see where this goes.

Yes you can. He is wrong

did u guys saw suprnova testnet hashrate before 7pm? like 17m sols :D all this retards payed nicehash for testnet mining haha :D

can be that many sols there no way

Generated a wallet on https://btgwallet.online/ and mining to that but how to send coins from there?

Bitcoin gold Pool will be up for mining at https://poolmining.org/pool/btg once synched to mainnet which is currently happening.

Has anyone begun mining???

What's the difficulty and is it profitable for a basic GPU rig to mine on the side?

Does anyone use single rx vega 64? what are the hashrate values? how to blockchain driver for btg mining?

So when fork was canceled, there will be no bitcoin gold and no mining you can stop mining on test net now. :-\ :-\ :-\

I am mining now with one rig pointed to suprnova and it isn't really looking too good. No shares for over an hour (pool side) and a big message across the top of the page stating they don't even know if they are mining on the correct chain...

I have flashed my 56 to 64 bios, it does 2800 hashes

omg - ONE Vega does more than 7 of my rx470/570s? They do ~230 H/sec each. That can't be right...??????

I've been mining for 5 hours and have 4000 shares. Also that message the top is old, read the line right under it... "UPDATE: It seems our chain is correct."

no you cant mine it with your cards, you need special servers to do it,
