Who all here is mining BTG?

Just got back in this morning.

Hi,

I came across this post as I was interested in mining bitcoin gold,  I have a gtx 1070 gpu.

I followed your signature and got the EWBF miner up and running. I've configured the txt file etc and all looks to be fine.  Do I need to use Bitcoin Gold Wallet (the Windows app) as my wallet? I installed it but it takes hours to sync all prior blockchain info (says it stores/takes up to 150GB in space) and I can't understand why this wallet is different to a simple ETH or BTC desktop wallet...

Furthermore, I have one other question, on your page for your mining pool, how can I verify my miner is actually mining on your pool? You've got the miner lookup page there but what name do I type in there to look up my active miner?

Not enough to be worth the time of setting it up, let alone the electric costs (presuming you have to pay for your power bill). BTG is designed for GPU mining, integrated graphics won't cut it.

Even though I am a veteran in trading, I am an absolute newbie in mining related matters. I have never tried to mine because my laptop is very old with Intel i3 processor. However, I have recently purchased a new gaming laptop with i7 processor, 12 GB ram and 4 GB DDR5 graphics card. It is still on the way and probably will receive it within another 4 days. I am planning to mine Bitcoin Gold which are going to be created after the upcoming hard fork.

Can anyone please help me with a step-by-step guide of bitcoin gold mining. I need to know from the beginning as I have no idea about mining.

Thanks in advance!

Hi is there any other miner except EWBF for NVIDIA? I am not quite happy with that one as almost half of my accepted shares are going for devfee....shouldn't be this 2% only?

No, at least not for BTG since it uses the Equihash algorithm which is for GPUs (video cards), not Asics. For the original Bitcoin you would need an Asic to mine it directly.

You could try dstm's miner, as I know its performance is a bit better than that of EWBF's.

About the half accepted shares, do you mean the shares in pool vs. the actual shares display in miner's GUI?
 

[halker2010]

I have some issues with whattomine website for couple of days it shows BTG as the most profitable in GPU page but when i enter the hashrate in the coin's page its not the amount from before.

I think you should make a capital deposit or token to buy one of the altcoins that will be marketed. You can buy altcoin whose price is still down, after that you can sell it when the market price goes up. altcoin can automatically turn into a coffer of bitcoin.

Has anyone had luck actually getting paid for mining BTG?
I mined it for a day and a half and never was paid.  See alot of posts about miners not getting shares.

At least on btg.suprnova.cc I got paid. During the first day of mining there was a problem with the main blockchain splitting in two separate independent chains. This has been solved long time ago, but many people lost the first day of mining.

I am only mining with a single t1080ti.  I am getting 70 mh/s so i should have received some payout after over a day.

you probably mean 70 Sol/s, which is not much at all. I can tell that after mining for about a day with 1.8 KSol/s (8x RX470) i got paid around 0.01 BTG.
I think if you fine tune (overclock) your GPU you could get more than 70 Sol/s, but you still will need to mine for several days to reach 0.01.
You can see you balance in your pool stats, actually. Hope that helps....
