How to mine Bitcoin Gold?

[lunobird]

I was reading the specs of EWBF, the software used to mine Zcash and BTG on Nvidia GPUs as I wasn't familiar with it.
I read that there is a 2% developer fee. Is it true?
This plus the 1% pool fee makes a 3% dent on your gains.

 It defaults to 2% for a dev fee but unlike Claymore you can set it lower (or higher) if you prefer to.

 I default to setting my miners up with 0.2% - which still nets the dev a few $$ a month from my fairly small farm.

How do I change those setting. I don't mean to be cheap but my electric rates are high in California and the alts are getting murdered.  I'm on the verge of turning off my GPU rigs

--fee 0 in your .bat file
But don't be so petty, devs do work to make it possible for you to make money, but everyone wants an free miner, zero fee pool and profitable coin. It's just a few percents and it's a reasonable amount to pay for devs, pools and exchanges.

I agree, they should receive something for their work.
If you don't want to pay, make one for yourself.

Don't get me wrong. The developers should be rewarded for their incredible work, but I would be much more comfortable with a one time fee (per card or per rig), not tied to our mining activity. In places where electricity costs are high (thinking about Europe), an additional 2% is killing miners.
But yes, I think anything between 1% and 0.1% would be fair.

Dear followers of Bitcoin Gold project.
We are excited about the way the testnet is working.
On the second day we have applied changes about the starting difficulty, some more minor settings and restarted the network. Currently we have 57 operating nodes and more than 200 mined blocks. The network is stable and all of the transactions are executed.
We take advantage of the opportunity to thank to users, pools operators, wallets and exchanges that are helping with the development and the testnet progress.
All the received help is highly appreciated! Thanks for all of the support!

In the very link you posted they do say that mainnet mining will start once they have a few key pieces in place, namely working wallets/addresses and exchanges/pools configured with proper code for the mainnet coins. The post also indicated they would announce the launch date ahead of time. I am fine with this as it is better to have everything in lace than risk a possible rollback later on. As long as they don't pull a 3 AM ninja launch to try and quickly mine some more coins for themselves, I am fine with this proposed approach.

Next steps:

    We are in touch with major exchanges and wallet providers that have asked for the replay protection and the unique address format in order to support us, follow their statements and start working on integration with Bitcoin Gold. So all the users can receive their funds without any  problems.
    We will start planning the release of the main network very soon and will come up with release date as soon as we are ready to announce it.

Be carrefull : it is just the testnet : the coin haven't any value.
It is just for a few time, just the tie to test your production setup :computer, GPU, Pool, and all your parameters.
Mainnet will be available later, probably next week...

Early miners will surely make some money on that. It is always the same story. I almost wish that i had a rig of my own, so i could give it a shot this time. Even so, there very limited information regarding BTG wallets, mining pools and configurations. I do have a some old GPU which i can still try. Of course, someone out there should share his experience with us first.

this is true.
We have about 30 GPU 1080ti here waiting to mine BTG.
This testnet has resulted in a uptrend of BTG

What are your 1080ti's mining during the wait ?

If I had to guess I would say Zcash or Ether.

Mining Zcoin

Is it Zcoin more profitable for you than Zcash when you mine with the 1080's?
