BTCZ is here today, its EVERYTHING that BITCOIN-GOLD wants to be when it grows up, problem is the parents of BTG are mongoloid hybrid of scammers, with single digit IQ's.
BTCZ is everything that BTG wants to be, can't stress enough that BTCZ is here NOW and works.
BTCZ
Is 'GOLD", its GPU equihash
Its Z-address
Only "BAD" is its hard-wired to be 25 BILLION coin, rather than 25Million like real BTC,
BTCZ has PRIVACY and all the good of 'zcash', BTG the dev's HAVE no plans as the CHINESE GOV wouldn't be pushing this bitch if it included privacy, BTCZ is anti-NSA, BTG is NSA providing mining tools to retarded people ( 1000k sols/sec ) are now targetted to BTG even though it has a zero return, and is running on TESTNET, with no plans of MAIN-NET ever being deployed.
WhatToMine.Com now say's BITCOIN-Z MOST profitable coin to mine on NET for GPU class miners.

Best place to mine BTCZ? I would have to say btcz.suprnova,cc, prompt payouts and have the most miners, which means they find the most blocks and pay the most out as found. Lot's of miners for BTCZ, but most of them have little to no miners.
Solo mining is possible, but I would speculate you need at least 1000K sols/sec,
A block payout for a SOLO miner on BTCZ is 12,500 coins, thus as you can imagine its not likely to happen very often, current difficulty is +200,000 with BTCZ now being #1 coin to mine I would expect this difficulty to go ASTRO in coming days.
WRT to BITCOIN-GOLD? BTG they're on TESTNET forever, there are no payouts the coin software doesn't exist and the DEVS are idiots.
No compare,
Mine the real deal, mine bitcoin-z
CCMINER ( newest rev supports equihash ) is best, no fee's and OPEN-SOURCE
EWBF is good, but is closed source and has fee's, but can be disabled --fee 0.0, but EWBF is a PAIN in the ass and frequently crashes
miner34 --server btcz.suprnova.cc --port 5586 --user NOBTC.GOLD --pass x
where miner34 is ewbf 3.4
In the past most of my mining for BTC-Z is at pool.sexy, they used to have the most miners ...
ccminer/ccminer -a equihash -o stratum+tcp://btz.pool.sexy:7007 -u <t-addr btcz>.rig100 -p x
You will need a btc-z address "T-addr", best to get is download the bitcoinz daemon, install, and run then "btcz-cli getnewaddress", you don't need to install the entire block-chain, just wait 5 minutes after you start daemon, then kill the daemon, both suprnova.cc and pool.sexy will require a t-addr for payment, of course you can generate a z-addr ( privacy ), but many of these pools don't accept 'z'
If ppl want to know about solo mining, I can provide info, almost all the Z-NOMP miners work just fine as BITCOIN-Z is 100% compatible with z-cash and support "getblocksubsidy", for instance BTG ( bitcoin gold bitch ) will not work with NOMP by design, as they don't want people to solo mine, just use their pool.gold ( mining ) pool to scam hash for z-mining.

Git Mining, get your t-addr
https://github.com/bitcoinz-pod/bitcoinz( fuck windows, its linux all the way, yep they software et-al, ,but remember that windows is CIA/NSA, and windows is just malware/adware ), what's the point of using a modern alt-coin with privacy like bitcoin-z and running the bitch on winddoz? nada
build the daemon, run it, run the cmd-line cli, get your address, and kill it, unless you plan to solo mine you don't need a full node running,
yes, you can get t-addr from and online wallet, ,but then others control your private-key, the only way to know for sure, nobody but you has your keys is to make your own addr, and keep your daemon "OFFLINE",
zillions of scammers these days, beware of all THIS bullshit mining stuff that is closed source its all pull fee's and redirecting your hash and coin to themselves, that includes EWBF, I only trust ccminer cuz I can read the source, also I find the hash-rate to be comparable, new ccminer -a equihash has caught up with EWBF
Solo Mining requires lots of screwing around with PROXY's like NOMP, which can be way over the head of anybody that doesn't have 10+ years in TCP-IP, I would just say run sexy.pool with ccminer and let it rip, I have found most of the pools for bitcoin-z to be scam's that don't payout or the threshold is so high that you give up, some of the pools have "100" has minimum payout, for instance suprnova.cc is 0.01, but a TAX of 0.001, I set mine to about 10, but note when you mine BTC-z you get +1000 coins/day on a normal rig six-1060's
