Now the big question is: are we going to be rewarded by mining on TestNet or are we mining for glory? :-D
I will go back to my normal mining activities until the situation is more clear

Oki. I was able to mine BTG on Pool.gold, using a BTG address calculated using the Coinomi Mnemonic Generator.
Now the big question is: are we going to be rewarded by mining on TestNet or are we mining for glory? :-D

in case of using BRC address, how it workd? were and when it will be credited? can you provide more details please?
Here's a video tutorial on how to mine Bitcoin Gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ABXafFU_w
Thank for sharing! Btw, does BTC address really work in BTG mining?

I just took a few minutes and figured out with certainty how to generate BTCG paper wallets before any wallet exists.
If you got to Shatoshi labs GitHub, it has a list of coins who have applied for a BIP44 coin key and their coin number. BTCG registered and got number 156. Now, if you go to the Coinomi Mnemonic Generator and generate a phrase - It doesn't matter which coin you choose first, because all that does is change the "Coin" number under the Derivation Path. Now, manually input 156 into the "Coin" field, and you will get m/44'/156'/0'/0 as your BIP32 derivation field, which is what BTCG will be using. Now just grab your private key, mnemonic phrase, and first couple public addresses. You're good to go. If you do it correctly your public addresses should begin with an A or a G.

Also, the coinomi generator can be saved locally and used without any internet connection to generate paper wallets for many coins on a non internet connected PC for complete safety! Plus there is a testnet to test mining on now if you look at the BTCG twitter. Claymore Zcash miner for AMD. EWBF Zcash miner for NVIDIA. Both working perfectly.
Update: BTCG liked my tweet about it apparently. Guess that means im right.
Cheers!

I followed this guide to the letter and either it is incorrect or I am doing something wrong.
It does not seem to matter which coin you start with even after entering 156 into the coin field as every address starts with a 1, if I select bitcoin or even leave it at Abecoin for the starting coin. Also if you select other coins and overwrite the 156 afterwards the beginning number or letter stays the same as the original coin you chose.
Strange. For me the whenever I generate a new recovery phrase or I change the coin number, the adresses change. Did you try with a different browser?

I did as you say, but my private addresses are all starting with a B. I guess it's not a problem

I've got a question about that actually, I'm currently mining ZEC, which is also equihash. Will it be as simple as pointing EWBF at a BCG pool and wallet
Once they get it up and running, yes.
I don't know clear idea about Bitcoin gold how mine Bitcoin gold. pls help any one....
Btw minepool.gold is "502 Bad Gateway" now.
where can i sell it??
I saw many miners are using BTC address, but for 3 of miners who found most blocks:
mizMR1rRWmu8vuiBcMVCSHXY3jX36HszRb - not sure which wallet
n3x65RhcX3iSZDQj7rDg7v2G7ZrRN5z2pb - not sure which wallet
t1emzuNbemjqnEhEue74NL3BxsR4cA1ajfP - Zcash transparent address
I'm so confused now.
mizMR1rRWmu8vuiBcMVCSHXY3jX36HszRb - not sure which wallet
n3x65RhcX3iSZDQj7rDg7v2G7ZrRN5z2pb - not sure which wallet
t1emzuNbemjqnEhEue74NL3BxsR4cA1ajfP - Zcash transparent address
I'm so confused now.
Just to clear up, it's under testnet right now, it means that it's just a simulation (https://bitcoingold.org/replay-protection-development/). As someone pointed, any BTC private address prior to the fork will work as BTG wallet, but you will need some conversion (https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-daily-dev-update-28-10-2017/)
I cannot generate a BTG address.
Bitfinex throws an error and Binance doesn't allow the address creation
Is there another way?

I tried to use Coinomi wallet to get this BTG adress, but there is only "Bitcoin test" wallet there. Do you know something about it? Can we use this wallet to start mining ?
I am not sure if this is possible, but you could use the private address of an existing BTC wallet at the moment of the fork. In theory it should work, but I prefer to wait.
I never tried coinomi... I will download this now

Any pool with maiking account - like suprnova or coinmine ?
It's just another rubbish altcoin, but if you really wanna mine it -
It uses the Equihash algorithm. The same as ZCash, ZClassic, ZenCash etc. Google EWBF miner (for Nvidia), or.... I'm not really sure what the best Equihash miner for AMD is.
Step 2. Find a pool that supports BTG mining. I know of none atm, but I haven't looked.
If you're a complete noob and just want to get in to mining easy, Nicehash is it. On average it's less profitable than figuring it all out yourself and finding a good pool, but that's the price you pay for convenience I guess. I've personally found zpool calculates hashrate and earnings really accurately. Their fee is higher than average, prolly cos they don't rip you off behind the scenes. Just my opinion. Lots of pools make things so vague you can't really question what you're earning. Nanopool was decent when ETH mining was the most profitable. I highly doubt they'll do BTG.
No-one can easily walk you through mining. It's not hard to figure out, but you really need to do your own legwork to get the most out of it. There's no shortage of info out there. Good luck.

What, then it isn't like bitcoin? then what the heck did they think, looks like there where some big bitcoin holders that had this idea of bitcoin cash... to rip/scam off some more money... or did they try to make only for transactions to be lower?
