In their slack channel (https://bitcoingoldminingpool.slack.com) they say mining won't be avaible until november 1st. They say they're doing tests and stuff.
Not sure whether it's true, but it's sure a way to make money - mining alone for 1 week before releasing to the public.

Is there any pool for mining BTCGold?

Is there any pool for mining BTCGold?
Even though I am a veteran in trading, I am an absolute newbie in mining related matters. I have never tried to mine because my laptop is very old with Intel i3 processor. However, I have recently purchased a new gaming laptop with i7 processor, 12 GB ram and 4 GB DDR5 graphics card. It is still on the way and probably will receive it within another 4 days. I am planning to mine Bitcoin Gold which are going to be created after the upcoming hard fork.
Can anyone please help me with a step-by-step guide of bitcoin gold mining. I need to know from the beginning as I have no idea about mining.
Thanks in advance!

Typically you wouldn't mine with a laptop due to the bad heat dispersion unless you couldn't care less about the laptop or you have free electricity.
Since yours is a new gaming laptop, you should strongly consider not using it for mining as you may damage it or shorten its lifespan.
I agree. It would be a waste of a good laptop and your profits would barely cover electricity cost since that graphic card cant compare to desktop GPUs...

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.

Not trying to be a smartass (actually I am) but what the heck does this alt coin have to do with Bitcoin?
