Minergate announced the Bitcoin Gold mining on its software. Does anybody know a launch date for the possibility of mining Bitcoin Gold on minergate? My estimate is the first week of November.

Any guess/news?

so no one really knows anything? i heard from 1st november it will be minable, but what about minergate?

Minergate has just updated to 7.1 - which gives the option to mine Bitcoin Gold and ZCash.

Mining BTG works fine for me when using CPU only but seems to crash when using GPU. Anyone else having the same problem?

Yea I just downloaded MinerGate and it keeps crashing on me. Looks like GPU Mining for BTG is not even an option for me - just CPU. I'm going to keep trying to get this thing to work.

Sorry to hear you're having problems as well.

I've had to revert to an older version because 7.1 was also causing my internet connection to hang.

Let's hope they iron out the bugs soon.

Till now even I didn't hear any news about mining BTG in Minergate, soon many people will start mining the BTG in coming days. But only the confusion is whether these coins have the good reputation in the market like BTH.

True, but like many of the 'new' coins it's very difficult to tell which ones will emerge as the winners. It's kind of pot luck so best cover your bases and mine anyway.

I tried the BTG mining with minergate using my CPU and GPU but didn't get any reward yet, it's been nearly 24h. Is it broken? or is it supposed to take that long?

Minergate are asking users who experience problems with 7.1 to revert back to 7 until the bugs are sorted out. Clearly there's an issue that they're working on. I guess it's affecting people in different ways.

Really, I didn't know that Bitcoin Gold was in the Minergate already now. Let me check it later on my desktop to find out if its effective and will I get some profit in it anyway.

Any feedback? Have they fixed the issues with 7.1 yet?
