Title: Bitcoin Gold Mining
Post by: mamun777 on October 07, 2018, 12:43:33 PM

Hey guys,
just read a post about the new hardfork. I heard that the mining difficulty for Bitcoin Gold will be again "easy". Is that true? Can I use the cards I use for ethereum mining, for Bitcoin Gold?

Thank you in advance!

This thing has no useful purpose that isn't already accomplished better by other alts.  I don't understand the hype over this one.  Are people just thinking because it will fork you get free money for having BTC the way you did with bitcoin cash?  There are already equihash cryptos with superior characteristics to bitcoin.  Why would I want to use a slow ass transacting coin when I can use a faster one?  If it's just about getting rid of asics well hell we got that already with monero, eth, and zcash all of which are technically superior to BTC already.

Bitcoin Gold mining is built on the Equihash, a Proof-of-Work algorithm, the same that is used for Zcash. It is using the solutions per second or Sol/s metric, which is equal to hashes per second when estimating the profit or your mining power.

I am not familiar with Bitcoin Gold, especially in terms of mining.
I can only trade Bitcoin Gold on the Exchange and it makes me comfortable but unfortunately BitcoinGOld is now losing direction, because the price of the coin keeps falling.

DUMP DUMP DUMP!

I don't think that can, and it is absolutely true that gold bitcoin mining now seems to be experiencing difficulties.
