Appearently, BTCgold is mined with CPU, not GPU (video graphics).
So, yes. It's easier to mine.
BTCgold is based on the Equihash algorithm, the same one which people use their PC to mine Zcash. This algorithm can be mined with both CPU and GPU-s but GPU-s are far more stronger and more efficient to mine this coin. It takes until 1 November until we will see pools mining it. The price though being 0.05 btc in Yobit exchange shows that it will not be as profitable to mine as we all thought but I maybe wrong here.
