when BTG mining starting? and any good pool.

If you want to try out some Bitcoin Gold mining you can use the now up-and-running Testnet, it might help you check out any miner configuration tweaks.

https://minepool.gold/
https://minertopia.org/

Even suprnova pool have launched the Testnet mining

Hi I'm new to all this, I have managed to mine ETH but for life of me I cant get this miner to work.

I have an VEGA 64 GPU could it be driver issue?

runs for about 5 seconds and then shuts down. below are my .bat settings:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal Myaddress.BobsRig1 -zpsw x

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I did a test mine using your settings above, using an R9 270X, and it worked just fine. Maybe if you try the SSL config it might work "ZecMiner64.exe -zpool ssl://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 -zwal YourAddress.YourWorkerName -zpsw x" .

It would be helpful if you could post your .bat file configuration (and the conf.txt file, to-be-sure) so that it would help us get a better idea as to what my be going wrong. Below is my .bat file (the conf.txt file is empty).

Hi guys, newb here.

I got a 480 8gb and a Vega64 running on 17.10.3
I am keeping my tests as safe as possible, so no bios mods.
I am really baffled by the behavior of my setup over time.
It starts up pretty good for stock and slowly creeps down to a grind.
Also I can't notice a significant difference in hash rate with HBCC on or off, and I have repeated these results with blockchain drivers.

This image is taken at startup:

And this after some minutes:

Meanwhile the log goes crazy with buffer overflows, and can't seem to find a way around it, besides restarting the driver.

Code:

I've searched the thread for a repeat incident, and there has been one, but don't see a reply.
Can anyone shed some light to this freaky behaviour, and a possible workaround?

HBCC does nothing on mining speed it s just a bug in the driver you can keep it disable, and just disable the gpu and renable it in task manager to get full speed
check the monero vega thread for more info
not sure it s a good idea to mix an rx with an vega on same computer, and also the vega is more profitable on monero when the rx on eth

I can't get this to work on my PC. It crashes after about 10-15 seconds on startup

If the dos box closes down soon after opening it usually means that there is an error in the .bat file configuration.
Run the miner in a dos box, it should not close and you should see an error message that will help you find out what's wrong.

Under clock. Or change the riser.

The miner actually doesn't start. CMD closes after that amount of time. Can't even get logging to work to figure out what's wrong.

Check your Power Supply Unit and cables, check if there are burnt cables one by one

This solved my issue before.

Good luck!

I highly doubt its any of that seeing how Optiminer works completely fine.

It depends on your card. If you have the RX 580, it is better to mine the ETH.
