Is it better with amd video card or nvidia video card  for bitcoin gold ?   which one do you prefer graphic cards ?
Thanks.

VEGA cards.

Some new inside info ? Smiley

That is the same as ZCash. So nVidia 1080ti is the best.

With 4xGTX 1070 you will get eaten alive in the first hour of mining  Grin
Thousands of 1080Ti's will be jumping on this from the get go.

Im just kidding, lets see what happens, but i'm sure its not gonna take 24hours for everyone to jump on it, its gonna happen a lot sooner.

1070 is better to stay with ETH. Let the 1080Ti or 1080 mine the Equihash.

That is really stupid reccomendation.

1070 is way better for mining equihash than the 1080ti and 1080.

At this moment I can buy exactly two 1070 for the price of one 1080ti (prices in my country). One 1070 does 485 sols @135 watt, so I will have 970 sols for 270 W for the same price as one 1080ti.

We all know how much the 1080ti does on equihash.

The difference is so large that I really dont understand how you can recommend this. The 1080 is even worse for equihash again due to GDDR5X memory.

What the pool for BTG mining and what miner can it be used?

I have no clue. I'm wondering if they decided yet on which one we will mine.
Ah I don't like to wait, but this is only thing I can do for now.

I prefer AMD(rx 480/580). Less power consumption and more "MH" after bios mod.
This is my choice too, and AMD is cheape

Only good think that will come out of this is a some portion of miners switching to mine Bitcoin Gold and lowering a difficulty on other coins for about next 7-10 days when they realize its no longer profitable and switch back.

I am hopeful that it will succeed as Equihash could certainly use another coin.  I don't think BTG is a scam or a cash grab.

Do you have information about which software platform will be the best for mining BTC Gold or is it still early for it? I would like to start with the mining immediately after the fork but I can not find how to set up the RIG. I have 4 x GTX 1070 cards.

That is good news. Let`s wait for release and see what GPU are best for mining Bitcoin Gold. I hope it would be pretty much profitable mining on GPU that CPU.

I'll probably give it a try too, ETH is still interesting for me today, I make 11-12$/day with no electricity cost and sometimes I switch to ZEC but I haven't found any alternative coin yet where I could make more profit with GPU mining.

I do not recommend anyone to take the time to mine a new coin. You will work in idle. I don't believe in the future of this coin. My GPU is now digging ETH+ DCR. It is not very profitable but still profitable. Bitcoin gold can bring only losses. Now, the discussion of mining the bitcoin gold is how to divide a skin of not killed bear.

What is the meaning to mine coins that are impossible to sell? It seems to me that you need to wait until the sales bitcoin gold exchange. In any case it is good that periodically appear coins that can revive the possibility of mining with the GPU. In my rigs invested a lot of money and very sad to watch as a permanently falling profitability.

Trading site are now implementing bitcoin gold option as soon possible. You may find Yobit and bitrex are also trying to implement it in the trading list now.
Until the Bitcoin Gold is comes to in use we cannot say which network pool, what algorithm and how much hash rate requires to mine one coin and all.
Please wait till November 25th then you can decide whether mineable at that time it or added later.

As far as I know, several large exchanges have already announced the adoption of the Gold. So that with the exchange there will be no problems.

What time exactly will mining start?

There is no steal exactly information about it ...
Just check https://btcgpu.org/
On their github it says
Quote
Bitcoin Gold (codename BTCGPU) is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that will occur at block height 491407, at roughly 12:00:00 UTC October 25, 2017.

On October 25th, the fork will happen and the BTC blockchain will be frozen. My understanding is mining won't start until the fist week of November, if the fork goes smoothly and if the developers can get the switch to Equihash working in time.

https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/15

As of yet, replay protection isn't implemented, so the launch could also be postponed

btc gold, give mining back to the users who can start using CPUs and GPUs to mine. When to start mining  btg . Is it in October 25th
Waoo! this will surely favor me as I have been nursing idea of mining bitcoin related coins. If we have cups or graphic processing unit, we can mine bitcoin gold. It means mining bitcoin gold will be profitable at this early stages and I think it is better compare to mining bitcoin cash and it is almost impossible to mining bitcoin core now with cpu.

This is awesome.  Always have to stay actively looking for new coins to mine if you are a GPU miner.  So many worthwhile coins but I would be sure to also keep a few and not sell them all in case they go up.

Can you post the link to the official page. I to will like to join the slack group.
Also what wallets will be supporting bitcoin gold? If there is no know wallet yet. Have the dev developed a working wallet yet? Kinda noob on this wallet thing from bitcoin to equihash. If someone can clarify this wallet thing, would appreciate it.

They are forking on 25 Oct, block # has not been announced yet.  Rumor has it mining won't begin until November, but nothing firm yet.  Best to join their Slack channel if you are interested.

Could you point me in the right direction in joining their slack?

Best to google Bitcoin Gold Slack and click on the links.. the invites only last so long so you need to find a current valid invite.

It seems to me that in order not to suffer with this issue you need to install the software from NiceHash and the program will automatically choose the most profitable option. Then we can draw conclusions. I do not advertise NiceHash just choose the easier option.
