GPU mining became even more interesting with the new Bitcoin Gold fork. Since the coin is new, little is known about how to properly mine it. This is a pity because (a) the purpose of the coin is to be the new GPU-minable Bitcoin and (b) those of us who will start mining it first will probably get the most of it.
I am one of those enthusiasts who are desperately building rigs and looking for the best ways to mine BTG. So far, I’ve tested dozens of hardware components in the attempt of finding the best ones for a BTG mining rig.
As someone who has been mining Ethereum since its origins, I have an idea on what could work for BTG. However, the more I get into BTG mining, the more nuances I discover.
On my site, I keep posting the freshest info I discover on BTG mining. Many people are interested in assembling BTG mining rigs so they ask me what hardware will get the most ROI.
While there is no definitive answer to that question, on my site I keep a list of the best deals and components for a BTG mining rig. Some components (such as GPUs) are rather hard to find nowadays, but every time I see something that could be of your use I make sure to post it there.
Another common question is software. Since the coin is new, mining software support is a mess. It also takes some steps to get into BTG pool mining. I’ve tested everything I could and posted the results on my blog.
Here is the link to the page where I post all the info on BTG mining. You might want to bookmark it and keep an eye on it, because again, the info there is being updated on a daily basis: http://1stminingrig.com/how-to-mine-bitcoin-gold-btg-best-mining-rig-hardware-tutorial/
