Bitcoin gold fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that will occur on October 25, 2017. From what I've read it will be minable with our computers at home using the GPU. Bitcoin Gold will provide an opportunity for countless new people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations. You can find more information on the FAQ here: https://btcgpu.org/faq/Cheers! Hope i can mine that too here in Philippines .  |

While there is currently no way to mine bitcoin gold as of now, you can get ready to mine it when it goes live by downloading an EQUIHASH algorithm miner like "EWBF's miner." Just google search and you should find it easily. Just learn how to configure it first and maybe mine ZCASH (same equihash algorithm) while waiting for bitcoin gold to go live.

When will it be active? Why would anyone want to mine on a testnet? To test and be sure that all their equipment and settings are correct before the actual launch. The first few minutes/hours of mining after a launch often produce the most lucrative earnings so you don't want to be wasting that precious window of time setting things up. Also, you don't need to spend hours on the testnet, just a few minutes of mining will verify you have everything setup correctly for when the real thing launches. |

Ok to test the testnet
But it is not clear at all how create a wallet adress.
website claims it's easy but nothing is ready "Verified wallets that support BTC and BTG side-by-side will be listed on the Bitcoin Gold home page". Ok, but which one ?

I just took a few minutes and figured out with certainty how to generate BTCG paper wallets before any wallet exists. If you got to Shatoshi labs GitHub, it has a list of coins who have applied for a BIP44 coin key and their coin number. BTCG registered and got number 156. Now, if you go to the Coinomi Mnemonic Generator and generate a phrase - It doesn't matter which coin you choose first, because all that does is change the "Coin" number under the Derivation Path. Now, manually input 156 into the "Coin" field, and you will get m/44'/156'/0'/0 as your BIP32 derivation field, which is what BTCG will be using. Now just grab your private key, mnemonic phrase, and first couple public addresses. You're good to go. If you do it correctly your public addresses should begin with an A or a G. Shatoshi labs GitHub: https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.mdCoinomi Mnemonic Generator: https://coinomi.com/recovery-phrase-tool.htmlAlso, the coinomi generator can be saved locally and used without any internet connection to generate paper wallets for many coins on a non internet connected PC for complete safety! Plus there is a testnet to test mining on now if you look at the BTCG twitter. Claymore Zcash miner for AMD. EWBF Zcash miner for NVIDIA. Both working perfectly. Update: BTCG liked my tweet about it apparently. Guess that means im right. Cheers! |
