How to mine Bitcoin Gold?

[LuisaoL]

BTG official network is expected to start on Nov 12 2017, 7 PM UTC. The current mining ports and accounts will be automatically transferred from testnet to main net mining.

are you sure? source pls.

Significant drop of difficulty on other Equihash algortyhms are expected ))

How do I create a wallet to use with Bitcoin Gold?
Anyone?

[Kompik]

Anyone knows what is the blocktime and block reward? I am probably blind but i cannot find it anywhere

Since BTG is a fork off of BTC's blockchain, it's block reward is the same as BTC (currently 12.5 BTG):

8,000 block premine:

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/blob/5a9f5b1d337babbbad53f787bc4914520266e1f0/src/chainparams.cpp#L89

8000 x 12.5 = 100,000 BTG

100,000 BTG x $300 = $30M

100,000 BTG x $300 = $30M

Today volume on BTG is more than 35m $, so premine is not problem at all
BTG can be very good coin if devs work job like they supose to do.
Coin can have very good future.

We will be ready for miners tomorrow once mainnet goes live and syncs properly.

It could also be a premined shit coin with the devs looking to capitalize off forking BTC. The volume should make it easier for the devs to cash in. Keep an eye on the premine address

Please don't do it. BTG = a scam. There are many far more healthy choices (ASIC resistant coins) that need your mining support.

Thx I used BlueStacks Android emulator on my PC and installed Coinomi.
Looks good so far

Why is BTG a scam?

[bitfools]

because of Equihash its the same way as zcash and his friends.

testnet is already life.

 

Intrigued to know how the testnet is running. Smoothy? Any glitches etc?

Testnet on zcash requires 'getblocksubsidy', they just added it yesterday to the code ( github.com/btcgpu )

Thus the only two working pools both btg.suprnova.cc and pool.gold are not actually using seed-nodes, they're just running on a private fork, in -testnet mode

The fact is in the code NO SEED NODES have been added, thus no actual internet testing has taken place,

TESTNET has probably only been 40% tested and the morons (BTG) talk about mainnet release 12NOV@1700UTC,

Not going to happen, given Testnet didn't get tested, and the proxy's are still not up, of the dozen so called mining-pools for BTG, none of the up are up except pool.gold which is a scam pool that has been redirecting 1000k sols/sec of equihash for 3+ weeks, btg.suprnova.cc just started running the testnet two days ago, but they say ...

"BTG.suprnova.cc - YOUR MINING WORTHLESS SHIT, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS SOFTWARE WILL BE WORKING"



Now some 12 hours before launch, IMHO will not happen, if they DO make main-net code available, it will take 3-4 days to download the -bootstrap chain-block, all must remember this is a new chain, its not compatible with BTC, so even these mining pools after they download the new code and compile, it will take them days before they have a complete block-chain, the way BTC(&clones) work, is that you can't run "getblocktemplate' until the chain is 100% and that takes 3-4 days

So that means 12NOV@1700UTC which pools will be operational? I think only pool.gold because they are the same people as github.com/btcgpu, which means they have early release  to the real software,where they can download the chain-block before everybody else.

Unless of course btg.suprnova.cc has a cozy relationship, I don't think so its clear from the red-banner above that suprnova.cc knows that BTG is a scam ran by incompetent scammers.

Pool.Gold has been redirecting equihash for 3+ weeks, when the mainnet goes live, what exactly will pool.gold be doing? Most people don't even have 'G' Addresses unless they downoad the mainnet code  and run 'getnewaddress'

IMHO most of the mining on pool.gold will be to faux addresses which means any found BTG goes to the house and/or pool

All is a kluster-fuck, ... planned or just organic human greed and stupidity???

Why is BTG a scam?

Because 1,000's of newbie accounts on this forum ask the same rhetorical BOT question hourly, and they never provide feedback, they just ask the same question, so as it create DOUBT that it is a SCAM.

Back in August 2017, on Reddit a research found that ALL the websites under the BTG/BITCOIN-GOLD family were all owned by the alt-coin scam syndicate's ran out of Russia/China,

Thus if all the websites associated with BTG are part of the BTC Mafia ( russian, chinese, & bulgarian ), then how in the HELL could BTG NOT be a scam, did all of a sudden the 2,000 shit-coins on the internet all largely pumped by the same orgs, all owing the same pools like YOBIT.NET, ... did all of a sudden these assholes become altruistic??

Come on BOTS answer this question?

R the PPL who own the domain-names associated with bitocoin-gold human?? Yes or No?

non-operational, no miners no stats, just a website false-front with no background software,

so what's the point??

all of this is just to create the illusion that BTG has a COMMUNITY, it does not

Who owns this domain?? btgpool.org?? U can bet the same people that all the other similar domains

Most of the BTG PR budget was put into websites, and NADA a nickel was spent on writing C++ to implement working block-chain software

Oh, and lots of budget were spent on BOTS to fill this forum with bot-shit

Who cares is its a scam, as long as I get paid to my wallet offline I don't give a *uck.

I do not think that it is a good idea to use your laptop for mining because it can damage your laptop and high electricity bill. Much better if you have high cpu and can afford to pay your electricity bill.

[Vann]

12.5 BTG every 10 minutes = 1800 BTG issued per day = 1800 x $400 = $720,000 in BTG subsidy per day

Compared with ZEC:

10 ZEC every 2.5 minutes = 5760 ZEC per day = 5760 x $250 = $1,440,000 in ZEC subsidy per day

The only one's guaranteed to make money of this BTG scam are the Dev's with their 100,000 BTG premine, pool operators, and NiceHash. All while you fight over crumbs with all the other plebs. You will be better off mining on NiceHash since there will be plenty of noobs stupid enough to buy Equihash hash to mine this shit coin.
