Are a lot of people actually mining BTG?

I seen a lot of shady stuff on it.

what have you heard? Do you have any specifics? Thanks.,

Are you sure you bought GTX 1050? Cause it seems you have a GTX 1070 or 1070 Ti judging by the hashrate you're getting by the miner.
Anyway, it can take up to 60 days to get one BTG according to your hashrate given that difficulty stays the same.

The models look very same 1050, 1060, 1070, but when I look at benchmarks online, boy they seem very different.

oh no wrong!! it was gtx1080 ROG from ASUS. Looks like one of the baddest one on the block.
So far I got some pending fractional BTG and unconfirmed fractional BTG, nothing has paid yet. I mined so far about 20 hrs.
Thanks.,

This is completely new to me, I am aware that with the classic BTC, GPU is out of equation long ago. But BTG backers claim, people can mine with GPU and ANT miner advantage is out of door. So I purchased GTX1050 (boy this is big!) and started mining with EWBG tool. Here are the hashrate below at around 488 Sol/s, ten times faster than the older 750Ti I had before this one.
Based on this rate, what are likelyhood of ever getting some BTG? Has anyone mined it successfully?
What are the messages when it find a solution?

On http://btgpool.pro/workers, I can see my address listed with 280 Sol/s and 20 something shares.
Thanks!
