BTG mining?

[ZEROtoHERO]

Anyone knows how to start mine BTG? or already started mining? i tried to download claymore from theyr site but seems i cannot change the wallet address in config.text to my BTC address.
But apart of that i know that they are start to mining on test now if i understanded well and ill like to join.
Sorry for my questions and if there is already a thread like this, but im new be kind please.
Ive a 6x 570 nitro+ 4gb
What will be the best pool to mine btg?
Thanks alot and sorry for my bad english

There are some pools with BTG test mining, check for suprnova BTG pool below:
https://btg.suprnova.cc/

As you know, its on test mining yet. It will be started after few days.
You can start test mining right now.

[LoneRangir]

Start with Claymore's AMD ZCash miner

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1670733.0

And configure the .bat file with your information:

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100


cmd /K ZecMiner64.exe -zpool btg.suprnova.cc:8816 -zwal <your suprnova username>.<your suprnova worker name> -zpsw <your suprnova worker password>

Be aware that Coins that are mined during test has no value, have read on these threads

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2279698.80

Seems they are still have a few key pieces in place such as wallets then will start mining

[Za1n]

It will be announced on the BTCGold website as well as their twitter and other channels. Their latest "daily" post was yesterday, which can be found here: https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-daily-update-network-stable/

They are essentially waiting for the exchanges to check over their latest code for replay protection and get on-board, after which time they will make a launch date announcement for main-net mining (supposedly before the actual launch).

Anyone plans to mine it or there is no future for this coin?

Hard to say, it will depend on the involvement of the community behind it. One part of me thinks oh wow, another bitcoin fork, how many of these are we going to have... The other part actually thinks bringing coins such as Bitcoin, or at least forks of it, back into the realm of GPU mining is a good idea. I really do not like the centralized nature of the proprietary Bitcoin ASICs, especially when only one major company can supply the majority of mining equipment and they are also a large miner.

With that all said, I do plan to participate in the initial mining of BTC Gold since it is fairly effortless to point a couple of Equihash miners toward a BTC Gold pool for a few days. I will need to see how it all pans out long-term though, as I expect for the first month or two we will see huge dumps at first due to all the people with free coins already.

Anybody knows is there a deadline of Mainnet start? Any countdown timer or so on? I think it will be very profitable in the first hours after starting but I can't find when will it be happen

[szafa]

I cant minning btg.

can anyone make a comparison between all BTG mining pools? Which pool should I choose ?

Here on their GITHUB site there are many examples for mining, only pool is pool.gold, there is also info for solo mining

In general you can mine with EWBF(miner) or ccminer ( latest build has equihash ), examples for both are on the link, note the dev's at BTCGPU delete any mention of this stuff on the github as their official policy is that mining solo is not allowed ( because they're pool owners )

i will try a bit

The only pool that works is pool.gold, but you must have a 'G' address to get a payout

all the info you need is at

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

how to mine on ccminer or ewbf, and how to generate a 'G' address

right now its on testnet so any coin you get is worth zero, and they don't really payout as the software doesn't work

[bitfools]

currently on testnet1 its hard-written to 07nov2017 @0700 utc, but DEV have said Testnet2 is coming out soon and they'll bump the mainnet start to 2018

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

Read the github, all +100 posts if you want to know real, and note they dev's delete all the good stuff and shove it into the 'closed' box.

There are two forks of the code now, and a third coming out in next 12 hours. Only testnet is enabled, but the code doesn't really work, because the dev's don't know C++, and haven't a clue to clone a BTC coin.

They told us the FORK would happen 25oct2017, never happened

They told us the coin would go mainet 1NOV2017, never happened

The code says main-net begins 07nov2017@0700UTC, the testnet doesn't work and is only 60% functional

IMHO when they say "DRAW NEAR", they're talking 2018

[ search issued closed at github above if you want to gen a 'G' address ]

BUT YOU MUST HAVE 'G' address to get a payout, the  -u can say "-u ILoveSatoshi", it doesn't matter because pool.gold isn't really validating the address, all of BTCGPU is a faux scam.

Say you want to mine 'testnet' bitch btc clone?

Here is how

ccminer/ccminer -a equihash -o stratum+tcp://eu.pool.gold:3044 -u mu5cjbSbE879MK5DtRnS3B1MnBvSfrHMQJ -p x

Note I'm not using 'miner' ewbf fuck his fee's ( even though they can be disabled for --fee 0.0 ),

Above I'm using ccminer, current build, its a bitch, will not compile easily, but just as fast as ewbf without the SHIT-FEE BS, build by editing 'makefile' to computer_20 to compute_50, then will build, must use cuda-8.0.

Right now this is the only way you can testnet mine BTCGPU, the code that we minions get ( public ) doesn't work, its clear that BTCGPU is either running a mining-scam and re-directing the HASH, or they're the only scammers ( btcgpu family+yobit.net+china-asic) who have a working source-code, because the code we have will NOT let you solo mine.

If you play the pool.gold game and download the ewbf script they include a start.sh file that runs the ewbf miner, and that is fine, but that miner has many problems WRT to stability and use with large mining farms, for a NOOB I suggest ccminer ( most current ), it works just fine,

Another issue FYI for people here is that this is just '-testnet' mining, any HASH you throw to BTCGPU POOL, your just tossing your HASH into the cesspool.

I have put a 10k sol/sec hash on this pool for 30 minutes, my result at the current difficulty 800 was luck is about 5/day. Right now there are only 250k sols/sec on the test, once this WHORE goes mainnet it will go to 250MH, ,which means the profit will drop to 0.005/day, which is $10 at current BTG(yobit.net $200) if it holds, I can mine zencash and make $200/day today.

All along BTCGPU has been a fraud, lies, bullshit, scams to assume this shit will change??? Not likely, they keep pulling new scams out of their ass daily, and offering the mea-culpa ( forgive me I have sinned ), now we know that they're passing us shit code, ,and somebody at pool.gold is either re-directing HASH, or in the only kid in the sandbox with working code.

Lastly, I follow the github release hourly, I have script that rebuilds the git everytime there is a new commit, and it stops the testnet and restarts the daemon, and it will NOT let me solo mine, and the results I see on pool.gold are completely different. Also note that pool.gold is only gettting about 20% of the blocks, thus somebody else is mining this testnet, and it isn't the little people. Also I have tested all the other pools that support BtcGPU, and only pool.gold is working, they're the only pool with this source.

I suspect that a LARGE GPU farm in CHINA has the real code and is pre-mining/testnet and working this code and testing their farms.

IMHO once again the chinese will OWN bitcoin mining albeit GPU, and will perpetuate the myth that BTC mining is not owned by ASIA.

Lastly, NOMP-Z there is a release that allows pool mining to BTCGPU, but the problem is this code doesn't work, NOMP-Z wants "GetblockSubsidy", and BTCGPU doesn't include the ZCASH CLI, as btcgpu is 100% BTC source.

Another large FUCK, is why doesn't this code support ZADDRESS??? This means that GOV can track these coins and there is NO PRIVACY, again this is probably a CHINA-NSA plan.

[bitfools]

warm up your cards guys.
testnet goes smooth, bugs fixed and official announcement of mainnet will be soon.

your mining pool still isn't even running testnet, why is that tell us?

how can anything be ready, when you can't even get testnet to run on your pool?

How do U know? Why didn't U enable testnet on your domain? nirburu?

Perhaps if U ran testnet U would know that is not working

The only pool running testnet is pool.gold, and the payouts are not working, there is no address verification and the pool wants 'G' address but the testnet doesn't generate G-Address.

When I go to the Niburu pool to mine BTG it says "Coming Soon", that isn't what I would call tested and ready.

[ahmedjamal1998]

No mining Bitcoin Gold is not live yet. But it looks like it will be available soon !
The test net has been started yesterday and miners/pool operators are testing the waters right now on them.

You can surely join one of these testnet pools BUT keep in mind that all the coins that you mine in the test net have totally no value even after the main network and the official wallets are introduced. This is just a heads up in order to understand that you can't expect anything out of it.

Regarding how to start to mine, since BTG is equihash, you can use something like EWBF cuda zcash miner. Just point the pools and you should be fine. Look up the forum for the thread.

Anybody knows is there a deadline of Mainnet start? Any countdown timer or so on? I think it will be very profitable in the first hours after starting but I can't find when will it be happen

They haven't declared a final date or something for when the mainnet will go live.

It has wasted us many time.

You practically didn't waste anything since the coin is given away for free anyway.

[boo50]

@bitfools, who told you what we don't run a testnet.
If you do not see it, it does not mean that it does not exist.
If you want a public testnet you can go to pool.gold

[bitfools]

@bitfools, who told you what we don't run a testnet.

I'm mining on testnet solo, I have been mining on pool.gold for weeks, I know what's going on.

Prove to me that your pool has been running testnet? It  hasn't past week 99% of all blocks found on testnet are found by pool.gold, that tells me they're the only folks who are testing.

Pool.Gold is NOT working, they're not paying out testnet coins, this problem has been reported and dev's could care less, if the pools can't payout test coins, how in the hell can they pay out real BTG?

For two weeks now pool.gold has been having people run 400-800K sols/sec on their machines, and nada a payout back to address that is not part of the BTCGPU genesis blocks.

I suspect that you may have run a miner on pool.gold yourself, but I doubt that you have ran your pool on the testnet, perhaps you have no hash-power, which could be why your not getting any of the blocks??

I'm getting many payouts, but they never get back to my 'bgold-cli getbalance', because the software doesn't work.

Go to github read the complaints by live ppl for the past 3+ weeks, learn whats really going on.

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/132

[boo50]

I think we were the first who told devs about lack of getblocksubsidy at the first days of testnet.
So I know what you are talking about. But don't separate the panic, you can try config from pool.gold, it works without getblocksubsidy.

unbelievable interest in such a scammy coin

[bitfools]

unbelievable interest in such a scammy coin

One of the richest ASIC miners in ASIA is behind this coin, so its got the website, the PR, and he's got bitcoin-core by the ball's as he owns +51% by virtue of the fact that CHINA owns +90% of Bitcoin

IMHO what Jack Liao is doing here is making sure that 'IF' GPU takes a bite out of ASIC mining that he owns that too, but he's taken it one step further by having IDIOTS do the DEV, thus OUTCOME here will be that GPU mining gets such a bad rep, that the CHINA-ASIC will rule forever.

No other possible explanation for a Rich Guy to spend a FORTUNE on WEB & MARKETING, but spend nada on development. No sense at all, unless the plan is to destroy the entire notion of BTC mining using the GPU, on the other hand, if mildly sucessful, China will ALSO OWN GPU mining of BTC-GOLD.

***

Let's remind ALL here that BTC-Mining GPU already exists and works, its called BITCOIN-Z.

Only problem for BTZ is that it doesn't have a chinese billionaire shilling for it!

[cryptofriendz]

Any data on the profitability of this already? I'm trying to reverse engineer without success. Whattomine didn't help either.

BTG is ONLY testnet at this time, WHATTOMMINE.COM is for real coin, that has real code,

I can't stress enough to people that the code for BTG doesn't exist, that NOTHING works, that this entire project is BULLSHIT.

The only thing real is the exchanges are ripping people off and the chinese hired idiots in BULGARIA to run a website and put SHIT on GITHUB.

Did you check https://github.com/poolgold/z-nomp-bitcoin-gold ?

And there are already a profitability calculator
https://www.crypto-coinz.net/crypto-calculator/
So we can estimate what BTG will be profitable with current price and 100Mh network, testnet now is 1Mh.

[ZEROtoHERO]

theres so many opinion about this coin and they are all interesting, but my right question is:
If the pool start to work and to give real btg to miners, that will be a good coin to mine or a waste of time? i already know theres alot of people with alot of intrest on this coin, but in fact will be proportionally convenient to mine atleast when we can start to mine seriously? i saw the difficulty is already pretty hard for the reward comparison to zchash or other coin  

ps: Thanks for all the answers

[sgenuine]

Bitcoin Gold works on the Equihash algorithm. Thus, Nvidia cards are certainly the best choice for Bitcoin Gold mining. All GTX graphics cards work with the Equihash algorithm much better than AMD. Find the best GPU for mining visiting hardware market.

can't estimate BTG profitability on difficulty based on a test network, obviously a lot of people aren't wasting their mining power on a coin that isn't worth mining right now.
When it goes live then we'll know the real difficulty and it will be most likely a LOT more than what it is right now on the test network.
