Seems like nobody bothered to tell anybody how to setup the seeds so most of the block-chain's just went off in their own directions

The BIG CHINA pools seem to have had their own code, they seem  to have gotten all the pre-mine and early mining, while everybody else just pissed in the wind, and are still pissing in the wind, its now almost 16 hours post launch, and pools are down.

I can solo mine, but not sure if its worth it because of the 100million sols/sec from the china miners

DOES JACK LIAO have GPU-ASICS?? Where did this hash-power come from?

***

The problem here is  the code was released without working seed-nodes, and nobody was given bootstrap direcitons to pre-load the block-chain.

Hoping for quick pump and dumbs or idiots overpaying for mining contracts.

HM well that explains why i don't see anything on the Bitcoin Gold pool after 3 hours of mining it gets wiped out, i was on MinerTopia before i switched to Bitcoin Gold pool .

MinerTopia crashed and stopped mining it shows a balance but that's all atm an if I look on Bitcoin Gold pool it's blank, if the balance was wiped that explains why, what a piss job this is turning out to be.

I find the idea of a Blockchain's developer team directly involved in the mining competition of their own coin deeply disturbing. Let alone the hush-hush pre-mining.

Sounds like you describe bitmain and bcash to a T.

So, does that mean that I've been mining for 14h for nothing?

It seems that way. I shut my rig down a few hours ago until this mess gets straightened out. If it doesn't then I'll do something else. This launch has been the textbook definition of overpromise and underdeliver.

This is funny.  Smiley

Just goes to show how unprofessional and OVERvalued bitcoin gold is. The sad part is that there are lots of other hardworking and competent teams out there working hard on projects that have a better product, yet have no funding compared to what bitcoin gold has. Dump all your bitcoin gold while you can.

having seen jack liao a.k.a lightningasic (in bitcointalk) treated his customers back in the day when he was selling miners i have no interest at all in his btc clone sc.. i mean endeavor Roll Eyes i didnt even claim my free coins Roll Eyes

but we are all miners here and we care less about ethics and more about profit so i kept my peace only to witness well...  Roll Eyes i avoid the word scam... let's just say another effort to screw the crypto community.

I had everything setup, pointing to pool.gold and left it running all night.

Checked balance in the morning, it was 0.

I literally deleted it off my PC.

I'm done with BTG. after wasting 2 days i've got 0.005 btg immature to show for it.

that's with 4k/sols

first lost 0.01 due to their bs error, then 12 hours before that due to launch delay and the past 18 hours only mined .005? their pools unstable af also.
