Topic: Bitcoin Gold Pools are SCAM?! - page 2. (Read 7362 times)
Man I'm glad I came on here first. Are there any honest and as expected pools out there?
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.

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

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??

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

There are pools with good intentions: https://poolmining.org/pool/btg
How often are payouts?
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 
I dunno... too much negative info about BTG Pool pro...i'm out

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?
