Any ideas what the new algorithm will be when BTG hard forks>?
- Bitcoin-Gold will hardfork at block height 536200, which will occur around 3~4 July. Please mine with Bitcoin-Gold specific algorithm (144,5 and BgoldPoW personalization option) after the hardfork.
Current Z9 Algo> stratum+tcp://europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20595
Cheers
It's called "Equihash-BTG <144,5>" afaik. https://coinguides.org/bitcoin-gold-network-upgrade-equihash-btg/ |

Does anyone have contact info for the people who run the pool? Funds still trapped for about a week now...
So that's a no, then? Funds still sitting, passed the interest date apparently. No response here or in PMs with the person who was posting before. Nobody knows who is running the official pool or any way to get hold of them? You can contact me regarding the pool stuff, if you are talking about the official BCI pool. Join our telegram, its way easier to help you there https://t.me/bitcoininterestAppreciated, but I did respond to you here several times and also sent you a PM on the 27th. I posted the address in question earlier, it is: iRzortGuiBPzjYJw1UMpcEMm1GCg1eLMkD Telegram isn't an option for me which is why I was asking for an email address or any type of contact info. I'd be grateful if you could look into what the hold up is. Thanks! |

the group chat in the developers section has become quite angry. These miners are bricks
Yup. At this point I'm more pissed that I paid to ship mine for repairs, should have just junked it. |

Basically since the ZEC company decided not to concentrate on ASIC resistance, these ASICs are pure winners since they cost little to what they earn per day and should eventually ROI.
With GPUs its another story. Some GPUs like the 1080Ti, were pulling in like $5/day back in the day with ZEC, but now not so much.
Same with the older AMD Radeon 7970s and 280X, they were pulling in like $2/day and now they are more profitable mining XMR instead.
Hmm, somewhat of a false equivalency; over the time period you are referring to, check the values of altcoins to fiat (not BTC). Earnings have dropped because of Z9s but also significantly because, well, their actual values have as much as halved. |

A few help question please guys..
Struggling setting up mining BTG on MPH..
I have
URL: europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20595
Worker: htautosz1
password: 123
Its says (Dead) stratum..
Can I send mined BTG on Mining Pool Hub ..straight to Binance BTG deposit account?..
Cant quite work out how to use the wallet on MPH
Thanks
Without checking, have`nt BTG switched to a slightly different algo? Don`t think its possible to mine BTG anymore with Z9/A9. Bitcoin Private(BTCP) is still same algo; Bitcoin Private(BTCP): URL: stratum+tcp://pool.powermining.pw:2146
Worker: YOUR BTCP WALLET ADDRESS
Password: Any password to identify your worker
BTG forks at 536200. Currently at 535840. Should fork sometime today (7/1). |

Updated the main post. I tried to be as accurate as possible, but there is a lot of clutter in this thread now, so: PLEASE NOTE--Since this has turned into a conversation thread apparently, FROM NOW ON please put a bold ADD TO LIST at the top of your post if you want me to review it to be added to the first post. I just spent an hour or so picking info from inside multiple conversations and I’m not going to do that again. Thanks.  |

Also, suprnova works for zen from my experience (1.3 zen for day).
this shock me ... I missread it as zec...turn out its zen...  took me about 5 minutes or so...  I would love a second confirm on Suprnova ZEN. No Suprnova pools worked for me when I was testing but I honestly don't remember if I tested ZEN, so it may totally work (and I'm not doubting the poster, just very curious). I'm currently mining on a very small pool (coinblockers BTG) and I want to keep supporting so I probably won't be testing for at least a day or two unless something important comes up, so maybe someone else can test the current requests and confirm/try the current failed ones... How was coinblockers for BTG? and what were your settings for the Z9? It's moot now since the algo will change tomorrow, but while I like coinblockers a lot, I did not go back to their BTG pool. They are PPLNT, so I basically got paid for about 10% of 3-4 days of work on their pool because I jumped in on a long block period (note--compared to other pools, mathematically I got paid fairly for the block). Not their fault, of course, and I like their pool a ton (they are my goto for CMM and ZEL), but for BTG it was a definite bust, too small a pool for the period of time. |

So considering I purchased one @ $850 for shipment in late August, are the chances of me making any profit from mining with this slim? Also does Bitmain ever ship batches early?
I would use a $420 or less coupon to lower initial cost. If you don't have a coupon you can buy here on selling forum or on eBay. That’s actually what I did - found a $420 coupon someone was selling for $150. Ended up paying $782.73 total for the miner, APW3 PSU, and DHL shipping to the US. I almost ended up getting 2x of them with two coupons but the wait time turned me off from doing so, since I didn’t know what would happen between then and late August. I guess worst case scenario, I’m pretty sure I can resell the miner to someone in the US and make my money back. Seems like there’s always people wanting ASICs, even if they’re not even profitable after paying for power. Never understood that. Btw has anyone purchased a single miner and shipped with DHL to the US? If so, how much did you pay in duties/fees? I heard from someone else that miners are exempt from duties in the US, but that seems false since i highly doubt that shipping companies even know what miners are. I actually purchased a Trezor from Switzerland and it was shipped out via DHL, didn’t have to pay any duties or anything like that. Could this also be the case with the miner I purchased? DHL is apparently hit and miss. I've used them for a couple orders and paid zero import fees, and both deliveries were on time. However, I HAVE heard reports of import fee problems and miners getting stuck in customs using DHL, so YMMV. |

The benefits above 630 are trivial tbh.
I have 1x z9m on a cheapo 500W PSU
and I have a IBM 1400W with 3x OC z9m and I'm pulling 975W.
minmax to naxx baby.
I think it's machine to machine. Mine seems to peak around 700, others see improvement at the max 750. |

Received the following response from NH this morning regarding Z9 support:   Hmm. Is it just me, or are these word for word the exact same responses they sent out about the A3 and X3 as well? |

Updated and added confirmed fork info to the main post. Please feel free to add links to any announcements to this thread as well and I will update the main as best as I can.
I believe someone said Zec is working on Supernova but it’s not listed on the first post. All coins AFAIK are now working on Suprnova. I thought I'd changed that, thanks for pointing it out. |

Updated! Since you work for the pool, I did add it to working but made a note that it wasn't an independent review. I actually plan to take mine off BTG later today, so I can test it if nobody else does... |

Hello guys,
Need some help. How exactly do i configure my Z9 to mine BTG on mining pool hub?
i seem to be getting about 2/3 discarded and 1/3 accepted
thank you!
That's normal. Keep an eye on your hashrate on the pool and you're fine. Discarded is not the same as rejected. |

Hi everyone, I received my miner today and wanted to add my results thus far.
I had the miner working on the Suprnova Zec pool with no issues and then switched over to MPH mining BTG. I am currently overclocked to frequency of 631 getting 15,360 sol/s and drawing 327 watts at the wall.
Compared to my GPU rig pulling over 1000 and getting a little over 3,000 sol that is extremely impressive. The question now is just how long it will last before becoming an expensive Brick!
Side note, I could not get the Suprnova BTG pool working for whatever reason but the Zec pool worked just fine.
Thats good, someone said they were getting 16kh at 380watts, you found a better combination, are you in a cold climate? 16K is about as high as I've been able to push mine with a lot of experimenting, it starts dropping when I push it further. Also it's not consistent pool to pool or even over time, but the pool hashrate is more important anyway, and that stays constant (though, of course, slightly lower). |

Got my 1st unit today and it is running happily OC'ed to 656, no HW errors and temps in the low 60's.
Mining BTG on MPH with 0.00% invalids after a couple of hours.
Tried NH, but as others have reported, 50%+ rejects.
Sounds great, What wallet are you using to bank BTCG?..And exchange it for BTC?.. Thanks I use my Trezor (i have the first version, but BTG has been supported for a while now, so any Trezor will work). There are a ton out there that do, though, including Coinomi, which I use on my iPhone for a bunch of my smaller altcoins... |

Playing with overclocks and fanspeeds...anyone have any guesses what PCB & Chip temps are the limits for a Z9?
I've had my chip temps hit 70 with no HW errors. No idea for longevity, but you're overclocking to that degree you're really only looking for it to work for a couple months anyway, so why worry? |

Get used to it, at least as long as we have this administration. This is what a trade war looks like.
This has nothing to do with that. The import fee + brokerage fee was always there for higher-priced miners. Best way to deal with it is to have it billed to your FedEx/UPS account. No delays that way. Tariffs on electronics have increased, so what you pay for importing them is higher than it was. I've been ordering electronics from China for years, and the past month what UPS has charged has increased significantly (in comparison to previous fees, not product price). Or you can roll the dice with DHL. I've had good luck with them, and so far haven't been charged import fees, I've heard that it's hit and miss but when you ARE charged the items are held in customs until you pay (again, HEARD, all I know personally is that the last two miners I bought were shipped DHL and just delivered with no extra fee). UPS is more consistent, but I have always had to pay the import fee. |
