[peteycamey]

Just few hours ahead. Some of my rigs are in ready mode

how do you know how much time?

Anyone got a stratum for nicehash to mine BTG

They announced about testnet time is at 7 PM UTC, so about next 3 hrs:

MF hypeddddd lets mine!

ssl on pool is not active yet

I am not sure they are really ready...

I've got a question about that actually, I'm currently mining ZEC, which is also equihash. Will it be as simple as pointing EWBF at a BCG pool and wallet, or will I need to do some other configuration? Does the mining program know what kind of coin it's mining, or does it just receive data from the pool server and process it, no matter what it is?

It's just another rubbish altcoin, but if you really wanna mine it -

It uses the Equihash algorithm.  The same as ZCash, ZClassic, ZenCash etc.  Google EWBF miner (for Nvidia), or.... I'm not really sure what the best Equihash miner for AMD is.
Step 2.  Find a pool that supports BTG mining.  I know of none atm, but I haven't looked.

If you're a complete noob and just want to get in to mining easy, Nicehash is it.  On average it's less profitable than figuring it all out yourself and finding a good pool, but that's the price you pay for convenience I guess.  I've personally found zpool calculates hashrate and earnings really accurately.  Their fee is higher than average, prolly cos they don't rip you off behind the scenes.  Just my opinion.  Lots of pools make things so vague you can't really question what you're earning.  Nanopool was decent when ETH mining was the most profitable.  I highly doubt they'll do BTG.

No-one can easily walk you through mining.  It's not hard to figure out, but you really need to do your own legwork to get the most out of it.  There's no shortage of info out there.  Good luck.

What, then it isn't like bitcoin? then what the heck did they think, looks like there where some big bitcoin holders that had this idea of bitcoin cash... to rip/scam off some more money... or did they try to make only for transactions to be lower?

Any pool with maiking account - like suprnova or coinmine ?

I cannot generate a BTG address.
Bitfinex throws an error and Binance doesn't allow the address creation
Is there another way?

I tried to use Coinomi wallet to get this BTG adress, but there is only "Bitcoin test" wallet there. Do you know something about it? Can we use this wallet to start mining ?

I am not sure if this is possible, but you could use the private address of an existing BTC wallet at the moment of the fork. In theory it should work, but I prefer to wait.
I never tried coinomi... I will download this now

Just to clear up, it's under testnet right now, it means that it's just a simulation (https://bitcoingold.org/replay-protection-development/). As someone pointed, any BTC private address prior to the fork will work as BTG wallet, but you will need some conversion (https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-daily-dev-update-28-10-2017/)

[shibob]

I saw many miners are using BTC address, but for 3 of miners who found most blocks:

mizMR1rRWmu8vuiBcMVCSHXY3jX36HszRb - not sure which wallet

n3x65RhcX3iSZDQj7rDg7v2G7ZrRN5z2pb - not sure which wallet

t1emzuNbemjqnEhEue74NL3BxsR4cA1ajfP - Zcash transparent address

I'm so confused now.

[DonQuijote]

where can i sell it??

[shibob]

Btw minepool.gold is "502 Bad Gateway" now.

[Shohel_rana96]

I don't know clear idea about Bitcoin gold how mine Bitcoin gold.  pls help any one....

 Once they get it up and running, yes.

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.md
Coinomi Mnemonic Generator: https://coinomi.com/recovery-phrase-tool.html

Also, 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!
