Algorithm was announced as Ethash (same as ZEC/ZEN/etc) - so NVidia cards will have an edge at current pricing but the AMD RX 470/480/570/580 aren't going to be BAD choices, pretty close to a tossup on hash/$ at current pricing and as I recall hash/watt only favors the NVidia side a little.
There is no way to know what the price is going to be or the total hashrate after the first few days - but I predict that total hashrate will settle in such that the profitibility ends up being very close to the same "basket" that ZEC/ZEN/ETH and such are in.
Start of mining has been announced as 1 November - but last time I checked they still didn't have a working wallet.

It will be much easier than it was with zcash. Pool-algo-miner infrastructure for equilhash already done, we need just adapt

I am curious about mining BTG too. I don't know how many days it will take to mine one BTG with a GTX 1080. This coin is going to be very difficult to mine i think. Maybe more difficult than ETH. As Bitcoin is older than ETH.

Therefore, nvidia graphics will be preferred? Which algo is expected?
Nvidia will be more profitable (but they are more expensive), algo will be the same of Zcash that is Equihash. To say the truth I don't expect much profit from BTG mining. I think it would be great if it were possible to dual mine ETH and BTG  |

Hi There, I'm not that expert in mining or not related to as I don't have that much money to buy powerful ASIC machines to mine bitcoins...
But, according to btcgpu.org Bitcoin Gold is for GPU miners. and that can really mine a lot of money using GPU's right?
How much money they can make with AMD RX580 8GB? Seems like a noob type question but really interested to know... Yes, Bitcoin Gold is said to be GPU mine-able, although, its poor development hasn't informed the public for any useful information yet. The Algorithm will supposedly be Equihash, which is great news, you can even mine with older cards (With lower ram memory). However, we will have to wait for more information to be published within the next few weeks. |

I think you have misprinted. Algorithm was announced as Equihash |

@dstm, another interesting thing happened. Miner died after roughly 5 minutes of mining right after setting difficulties . Once I restarted the system it worked like a charm once again. This hasn't happened yet.

Or TODAY yet. No way the yield can have dropped. |

They say AMD RX580 8GB does not show great productivity in mining, and some users say that when you stay active constantly, it starts to hang. If you have Bitcoins in your wallet, on Novembet 1 you will get BTG free.
Now people’s prognoses about Bitcoin Gold cost differ — guys suppose various information, from $140 for BTG to $380 for BTG. When the initial price will be known, we will learn all the details about miming of this crypto.

If you HAD bitcoins on selected block snapshot. The price is low and expect it to be lower when BTG is distributed. |

I'm mining with a rx 580 8gb right now. I'm getting 292H/s with default specs, intensity = 9.
I'm looking for some config tweeks to lower power consumption and heat while increasing power, ideally.

Sorry in advance if thet question has allready been answered someone else on the forum. Question: Im owning a Nvidia geforce 680 GTX still  Guessing that one will not do the job for gpu mining. What is the minimum needed equipment to mine BTG / alt coin. - What card would be needed for GPU mining? - What CPU is needed for CPU mining? - Power supply - Ram Just Minimum's requirements first please. and what would be the most important factor. |

Bitcoin Gold uses the same algorithm as ZCash (Equihash) so any ZCash Mining Guide should get you started. As for a pool to mine on, https://poolmining.org/pool/btg is now open for business. |
