just as i submitted this post, my miner connected to nova.

Miningspeed seems to be working okay, though I wish I could be certain before I go to bed...

Miningspeed is working fine for me on EU server

Noob question about suprnova: if the connection goes to a FAILOVER, the shares still count, right?

[centralbanksequalsbombs]

Just an important note for everyone else to read in the future - I'm going to throw into question if people can actually fairly run simply a node at time of launch; there may be only certain parties that can really successfully connect to peers.

I've tried and failed - used official win10 exe from bitcoin's gold's github, opened port 8338, and even followed raffern's suggestion below of the bat file with the full list of nodes raffern provided, multiple instances of leaving it on for 20min, and no connections

"Connecting to peers" for 2-hours, tried multiple workarounds.

Current time: 3:11 AM UTC Monday, November 13, 2017

Others (again i question those who say they subsequently got it to work):

For anyone stuck syncing their wallet. Create a runme.bat file in the bitcoin gold folder using the following, then save as a .bat file and run

bitcoin-qt.exe -server
addnode=109.192.23.101
addnode=88.99.5.24

(snip)

addnode=143.207.67.209

Wallet -      This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications

what does this mean? I thought the official bitcoin gold client was all we needed?

I tried checking out version 0.15 instead of master from the github source, and that took the pre-relase message away.  However I'm still not syncing any blocks (ubuntu 14.04)

I have downloaded the official Bitcoin Gold Core Client, and it is running fine... and I am just not able to connect to anyone in the network. Any guidance for me? I have port 8338 open... do I have to boostrap to the Bitcoin Core Client?

<EDIT>
OK, I found above the answer. Add a specific IP node via the command:
addnode "78.193.221.106" "add"

Issue resolved, now I am synching with that node, and found a second one (maybe via the same first one?).

where you download it?

From the offiical website, it just went live:

https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/

i have donwloaded direct on ghithub .. but i need a node list for add ... where can find node list?

This nodes not work!

Not working for me either. Still stuck on 0 connections

the equihash price on hicehash has just gone into crazy mode

[earldd]

Ohh boy all sites crashed...haha.

I had 3 setup and all fail to connect including suprnova. O well gotta sit some more time I suppose

Sounds like a hot ICO, lol. 

Btgpool website is also down but shares are running. 

[bgdmxd]

Connected to suprnova and submitting shares how. Feeling a little excited. Last time I mined anything for bitcoin (real or fork), it was summer 2012 and, if I remember correctly, deepbit was still alive. How time flies.

miningspeed.com working fine here

Thanks for the pro tip. I'll point my hash to there instead.

Yeah not sure if I should mine BTG to point to nicehash. Guessing point to Nicehash now and when the craze settles down, mine Btg.

[cyberspacemonkey]

I like the choice of algo, I was mining Zcash but I'm thinking about switching my miner over to this one although I'm not sure if this coin is getting a lot of support since it seems to be just another Bitcoin fork

I've seen pump and dumps on ico's and random alt coins - could this be one for gpu mining!!

If anyone knows of a mining difficulty chart for bitcoin gold (like the one on coinwarz for ethereum and a few other coins) I'd be really interested to take a look over the next couple days. I think I'll wait until the hype settles down to start mining (although if it moons I'm going to be really annoyed with myself!)

Wallet showing 8 years needed to synch with net... jesus...

[Pustul]

mine.pool.gold seems to have forked, not the same block height than the other pools

Is anyone else getting disconnects and tons of invalid shares from Suprnova?  I've been mining Zencash, Zcash, BTCZ, ZCL for months now and none of them ever did this.  Using DSTM miner here.

Should be ok now

[sketron1]

Mining is working now. The site isn't updating but per the note in the site header this is expected.
