How much "not mined" of BTG (bitcoin gold)?
I do not fully understand about supplying of BTG for mining. As thay talked before hardfork, the total supply of BTG are 21 millions coin. But after hardfork, there are 16 millions of BTG are presented (copy from BTC blockchain), so the remain BTG coin we can mined in the fulture are 21-16=5m (only 5 millions BTG)? Is it exactly or not?

Can you repeat the question? A little difficult to understand what you are asking...

bitcoin gold is a fork of bitcoin, it means they copied everything from bitcoin, the code with a little change and also all the blocks that have been mined so far (until 24th last month).

because of that about 16 million coins are already mined (the coins mined on bitcoin originally) and the cap which is 21 million is also a copy of bitcoin so there are about 5 million more coins remain to be mined. just like bitcoin.

that is just mining though. the circulating supply is the same as bitcoin because as i said BTG is a copy of bitcoin with some changes.
these changes were two things which made it an altcoin:
1. the mining from PoW to EquiHash
2. added a large premine for the developers. 200,000 BTG!

Thank you a lot..Only 5 millions of coins for mining. Ok, I will mine 5 or 10 coins. After that, I will change to other coins.
