Bitcoin Gold Pools are SCAM?!

[mettalmag]

No payments  

btgpool.pro payment approved and I cashed out to my ledger
supernova approved and I cashed out to my ledger

so far mining it is more profitable than ZEC

How often does BTGpool.pro payout?

Depending on the hashrate you have, there is also the other step that would be the part where what you mined has to mature once you have done that and having reached 0.01 they send you the payment.

I'm at 420 Sols/s...am i wasting my hash on the BTG Pool pro?

You can use the calculator to get an idea of how much you can generate with the hashrate you have. http://calc.btgpool.pro

Understood, but when should one expect the Pending Balance value for this pool to move?

I dunno... too much negative info about BTG Pool pro...i'm out

did the same couple days ago
and I'm pretty glad with supernova so far

So it's always good to read the comments though sometimes when something is new you have to experiment to see if it's good or not

There are pools with good intentions: https://poolmining.org/pool/btg

How often are payouts?

Anybody has experienced pool.gold? I'm so disappointed with it  

considering my average hashrate against network's I expect almost 40% more than what they have paid (payouts+unpaid +immature balances ) to me. It seems unacceptable. I put average network hashrate for the last 5 days at 90 MH/s and it is a very good and optimistic estimation for the period and by no means could be considered much higher, actually I guess it is too optimistic.

So with an average of 9.3 Kh, I expect 9.3K/90M * 24 * 6 * 12.51  = 0.186 btg per day but practically my average gain from this pool is less than 0.11 !

How is it possible? They claim to be 'official' (just like .pro ) and they have a rough 20% of the network hashrate that is huge. They are listed on the bitcoin gold official site and they claim 0% pool fee? Believe it? 40% lower income than what you expect and they claim 0% fee

Anyone mining BTG on Minergate? I've been hashing since Friday, but the balance/reward is 0, unconfirmed balance also 0.
Stats so far:
Good shares:46,353
Blocks:0
Unconfirmed:0.00000000
Total mined:0.00000000

Pool stats say 3 blocks have been found since I started mining...
Is it normal it takes so long to get rewards??

Something seems off with Bitcoin Gold mining. For example, pool.gold is the biggest pool. Right now they are just over 25% of the total BTG hash rate. Yet they only have 14% of the last 100 blocks. I have been watching them for about 24 hours and those numbers have been pretty constant. The math doesn't add up for me.

have u taken suprnova into account?

have u taken suprnova into account?

No, I didn't. You are right. I went on their home page and it had all zeros for their BTG pool. But when you go to the actual pool page, it says they have 51% of the BTG hash rate. So thanks, I may give them a try, I have used suprnova in the past and been happy with them.

I am calling out pool.gold to come on here then and explain their numbers. Right now they claim to have 29% of the BTG hash and yet only found 11% of the last 100 blocks. I have been mining long enough to know that when things don't add up, you should run the other direction.

I am starting to thing the same as well with pool.gold. I just got back into mining and am doing BTG with one rig. It ran for 8 hours at 3000 sols, however average on the site statistics is only 2.5, Also my immature funds for around 8 hours of mining i only $4 worth instead of about the $6-7 that I should have received.  Think once I can get the payout I will move to supernova.



UPDATE ***

0.02573760 mined for nova in 8 hours only .022 from pool.gold all day long ... SCAM!@@!!@!@!

I agree .  pool.gold is a scam.    I ran 10,300 sols for 13 hours.  It was supposed to pay 0.165 BTG.    I received only 0.047.  There is another 0.042 that has been pending (immature) for 24 hours .   If they ever pay the pending amount the total will be about 0.089 or 55% of what it is supposed to pay.   This seems to be consistent with the other posts on this site.

Man I'm glad I came on here first.  Are there any honest and as expected pools out there?

[thepages]

Im with pool.gold with 2000 sol/s and not getting anywhere near what the calculators say. Next pay out I may considder suprnova but the main page says no one is in the BTG pool!? Im more thinking I might just go back to another coin.

[ShittyMiner]

I had the same problem with pool.gold Never got any payout and hashrate was a fraction of my actual hashrate.  Now I have been using https://btg.suprnova.cc/ for 48 hours works great already earned: 0.024 BTG paid to my own wallet.
I am using a 1080 with GPU Miner EWBF NVIDIA hashing about 485 sol/s:

ok as post above I was mining pool.gold with 2000 sols started bout midday yesterday with them, but late arvo noticed something not right with the figues so in the evening I looked at suprnova and it turns out when you click on their btg pool all the stats are shown about their pool but its not shown on the main page... So I took 1000 sols over to suprnova and by mid arvo today suprnova had caught up with pool.gold and both paid out 0.01 at near the same time and pool.gold had around 8 hours head start with 2000 sols... pretty poor on pool.golds part.. Goodby pool.gold hello suprnova.cc PS I get 500 - 545 sols on my gtx 1080 cards with EWBF 3gb or 8gb not much difference.
