First of all you can use to write the issues there. Then: Currently the addresses that are used by most of the people are not valid for the BTG network. This is normal as the testnet addresses are starting with m or n but some of the people test with t, 1, 3, z, G addresses etc. In order not to block the test process I have disabled the connection check that is made to verify address as that way people will get rejected upon connection and they will look for the reason in their machine or will just deny pool.gold as a pool. Upon a transaction currently I'm checking if address is correct and if it is valid for the BTG Testnet I'm sending the transaction to the address. Else I'm keeping the transaction in the pool. If you want to receive any Testcoin Gold I can send to you if you provide valid testnet BTG address.

In the explorers you can check for address: mr3mGSeQafdft7jgZMM2N5DcewmHyK2f3r I'm sending the payments to valid addresses from there. Just FYI, unique address format does nothing with replay protection. It’s just a way to avoid accidental cross-chain payment.???

What do you mean? And what do you mean by 'unique address format'? • Addresses in testnet and main net are different. There is no way to replay transaction from testnet to mainnet. All of the keys are different. If there we such weakness the Bitcoin and all the other networks will be full of replayed transactions.

Also there is a working replay protection. We have tested it and it is great. • I would suggest also that many people don't understand that this is a testnet. However pool.gold will switch immediately from testnet to main net from moment 0. I hope that will please the people, as there is clear information, even on the pool.gold site that it is written TESTNET!!! Sorry for closing the issue, was miss clicked. Moreover I have deleted comment.

I accept all of his topics and comments as spam and he doesn't stop, so we will delete everything, until he stops. We don't need spam here. And others, please stop the trolling, I don't know about the future of BTG but btg folks are doing a great job We can continue the discussion by email if you prefer, but as I wrote before, testnet, mainnet, whatever net, whatever coin addresses are just the same, the keys are the same. I reference here, seems to be similar problem. Sorry, but the is the original nanopool one with an edited readme.

Nov 25, 2017 - Yes I meant that its more dangerous for BTC/BCH miners if their coin tanks, safer for BTG or ETH miners if theirs tanks. I'm not against. As someone in the market for a new GPU for, you know, actual rendering, fuck you Bitcoin Gold, and all other coins who think that GPU mining leads to decentralization. Does anyone use single rx vega 64? What are the hashrate values? How to blockchain driver for btg mining. They say Bitcoin Gold mining gives much more income and. The mining facilities/stratum service will stop 16:00. The pending block pay-outs have been executed as expected. Thank you for your continuous support.

I used that settings already, but minig doesn't work. All shares are rejected.

I use an address created with self compiled client on the testnet. Anyway the Address in the config/command line should not matter. Are the addresses checked by the pool at all or can I mine 'anonymously'?

I just want to rule out some wrong settings. I tried on various computers. Mining at any Zcash-pool works fine.

Please don't fill this with comments how bad bgold, the dev team or the pool are. I feel already silly enough because of my awkward noob questions, but other people maybe have similar problems and noob questions. I think bGold is a good idea and gives the control back to the user, taking it from the miner, and trolling doesnt help, while does a good job and has for sure a full schedule and better things to do than cleaning up after your visit.

I am located in China and slack is some problematic here. Not about the pool Software, I will go later for that.

It is about the client. I use an unmodified Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner, Latest version v12.6 - BTG. But with a config like this: -zpool eu.pool.gold:3044 -zwal mvuxscWCJGD8XXXXXXXXXXXXXXAy9EDg.jagottsicher -zpsw z -ftime 1 -i 6 -tt 75 --nofee -allpools 1 That should make it. The status lines say I receive work, but all shares I deliver are rejected. I tried exactly your release, but still the same result with but running from command line or config file. I double-cecked environment variables and tried the -old 1 option. Eventually it always hangs and restart after opencl call.

Also I tried the addresses from the epools.txt. No idea what to do any more.

The hex at the end of the line differs. Another one (where the screenshot is from) does not show that. Both show zero hashrate.

Today, we are going to discuss about another altcoin that has very recently delivered outstanding returns to coin holders. We are referring to Bitcoin Gold (“BTG”), a new “hard fork” of the Bitcoin (“BTC”) that started trading in October 2017. For those who don’t know, a “hard fork” occurs when coin developers need to add new features to a cryptocurrency that create incompatibilities between previous blocks and the new ones. This means that a new cryptocurrency is generated and it will not be able to execute transactions with the previous version.

BTG and Bitcoin Cash are considered “hard forks” of the Bitcoin. The following image from Investopedia explains very well the “hard fork” concept. Have a look at it.

Hard Fork from For those looking for the economic sense of things, a “hard forks” generally is intended to increase the amount of supply in the coin market. The new rules usually open new mining opportunities so that the amount of cryptocurrencies increases in the medium term. As a result, the price of “hard fork” coins is lower than the previous version. But, the increase in supply does not mean that coin returns cannot be obtained from the new coins generated.

In our experience, sometimes they are even more profitable than the previous versions. The BTG is a clear example.

Since its inception on October 23, 2017, its price has increased from $120 to hit at some occasions the resistance of $420. This means that some market participants could have received more than 300% returns in less than one month. Amazing returns, don’t you think? Please have a quick look at the following analysis before we discuss its main points.

Chart for BTG from As it always happens in the market, the top has been announced by large spikes in volume. When the price touched the resistance of $420, we could see that big sellers are shown up in the market pushing down the share price. This pattern was seen on November 10, 2017 and on November 25, 2017. The same rationale applies to bottoms. When the coin price touched a low point close to the $100-$140 range, the buyers lined up. So, what will we be looking for in the future to identify price reversals?

Spikes in volume. Now, we move to the current situation; as of November 30, 2017. The coin price tested the resistance of $420 once again, but sellers showed up and the coin price declined. In our opinion, the price may continue falling down until the level of $290 is reached.

We expect demand for coins to appear at that price, which could again send the price higher. Be careful readers if you don’t appreciate buyer demand in the lows of $120. If buyers are weak, the coin price could continue its downward trend and create a lot of pain.

Why was BTG created? Best Decred DCR Mining Contract. The initial idea of Bitcoin was having a decentralized system.

Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder, believed in a BTC system, wherein each CPU has one vote. The fact is that, as it happens most of the times in financial markets, most Bitcoins are nowadays controlled by a few big entities that are sometimes using “abusive practices” against members with no bargaining power.

Changing the algorithm from SHA256 to Equihash to create BTG will offer new opportunities for people around the world to be part of the mining community. As noted by the official, the new project builds “a more decentralized, democratic mining infrastructure, which is more resilient and more in line with Satoshi’s original vision.” Demand – Many Exchanges are supporting the new coin We were glad to find out that there are many exchanges that became interested in the BTG.

Have a look, the list of institutions seems to be large. Exchanges dealing with BTC Gold from The fact that many exchanges are working with BTG is something we appreciate much. We believe that this demand and market recognition of BTG should positively affect the coin price in the long term future. Conclusion Currently trading with a market cap of $4,969 billion, BTG is an exciting story among cryptocurrencies. The fact that the market capitalization is so large means that market participants are expecting the growth and acceptance of the BTG to be large. We believe in the future of this project, but we also expect a lot of volatility in the market, which will be reduced as more miners join the team and more coin holders are willing to accept BTG.

Please conduct your own thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency. Towards the end of last week, we took an objective look at the action we were seeing in the cryptocurrency markets and tried to pick out a few coins that we felt had the biggest potential for turnaround once the markets recovered.

As anyone who caught our coverage will already be aware, one of our top picks (and the one that we suggested was probably the most secure coin outside of the majors) was Ripple (XRP). Our thesis was relatively simple.

Ripple had tanked in line with wider markets but, unlike many of its competitor coins and peers in this space, the company behind the currency had been pushing forward from an operational perspective and was making some real headway in terms of enterprise-level adoption of its flagship technology. XRP Daily Chart In turn, we suggested that this divergence (between the company’s operational developments and the price of XRP, its representative token) represented a real opportunity to pick up some cheap coins in anticipation of the gap closing out. And as it turns out, we were spot on.

At the time of our coverage, XRP had dipped as low as $0.63 a piece. Remember, this is a coin that was trading in excess of $3 just a few weeks ago.

Then, late on Friday,. For those that didn’t catch the news, Santander announced in its quarterly review that the company would be rolling out a mobile device application this year that will support free, instant cross-border transactions for its users in Spain, Brazil, the U.K. And the technology on which the application rests? Ripple’s xCurrent, of course.

Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse announced the move to his followers on Twitter, noting that the app will be released this quarter, and Santander followed up the announcement with a dedicated section in its quarterly presentation, with a spokesperson saying: “We plan to launch this in the next few months, and we can confirm on the record that we plan to use xCurrent in the project.” There’s no denying it – this is a really big deal for Ripple. Indeed, it’s a big deal for the cryptocurrency space as a whole. For the first time, an incumbent in the financial sector has taken a blockchain based technology and bundled it into a use case that’s aimed at the general public, as opposed to being aimed at another financial institution. To put this another way, Ripple has finally been able to bridge the gap between the bleeding edge of blockchain technology and the mainstream general public.

So where do things go from here? Well, this is one example of Ripple’s pilot programs coming to fruition. That is, making the jump from pilot program to commercial application.

With a large number of these programs ongoing, this latest news reinforces the suggestion that there’s real value in the ongoing programs and that they will likely bridge through to commercial use once the programs in question complete. It’s important to note that XRP won’t play a role in the Santander application – at least not initially – but this isn’t too much of a big deal. It’s a major vindication of the company’s ability to score big-name partners and, for us, is a strong signal that Ripple remains one of the top recovery plays in the market right now.

The cryptocurrency markets have taken a real beating over the last couple of weeks and especially throughout this week, with many of the major coins (bitcoin, Litecoin, etc.) trading at a more than 50% discount to their price just a few days ago.

This, of course, has translated to a real weakening of sentiment and the confidence that many of the later entrants had in their (arguably late entry) positions has all but dried up. People are exiting the market in spades and the selloff is resulting in a further weakening of price. This, in turn, is translating to more panic and an increased number of market exits and so on and so on.

This sort of action will be familiar to many. It’s a self-fulfilling spiral that compounds sentiment and it’s essentially the opposite of what caused bitcoin and its peers to run up into the end of last year. Late entrants forming weak and fundamentally inaccurate biases and responding to these biases by pulling the trigger. In November and December, it was a trigger pulled on a buy position. In January, the trigger is being pulled on a sell. The thing is, now is not the time to sell. Sure, markets got overexcited at the end of last year and some coins ran up farther than they perhaps might have done if the crypto space had of remained under the radar.

Sure, the entry of a futures market and the concurrent wave of media coverage that came with bitcoin shifting into the mainstream consciousness perhaps created a buying frenzy which, in turn, pushed prices above and beyond sustainable levels. BTC Daily Chart When this happens, however, we generally see a correction, a bottoming out, some degree of rationality return to a market and, in turn, a return to the overarching trend which, in this case, very much remains to the upside. People forget that Bitcoin (BTC) was trading below $900 this time last year. Litecoin (LTC) was at $5 twelve months ago. Some of the more functional tokens, things like Ripple (XRP), were trading for fractions of a penny. Many didn’t even exist. What we’re trying to say here is that the vast majority of coins that exist in today’s market and that are down circa 50% or so on early month January highs remain up thousands of percentage points on their respective twelve-month pricing.

Put things in perspective, then, and you see that this pullback is a natural correction on an overheated market and one that simple serves up a long overdue return to sensibility, as opposed to any indication that the cryptocurrency run has come to an end. For those who need a bit of persuasion, look at this space as if it’s a thirty-year trend, a long-term technological shift.

We’re less than a decade into it and while exuberance led to the space running away with itself a little, the excitement is now reigned in and the industry can resume on the path towards changing the technological (and indeed, global industrial) landscape of the future. Bottom line: let the panic sellers exit their positions cheap and, if you’ve got the capital, pick up some cheap coins as they unload.

When things return to normal, the same sellers will be scrambling to buy back their coins and will be forced to do so at a premium to the rice at which they’re unloading them right now.

Investors swarmed the numerous new coins available, making it the must-have investment product of the year (well, up until the end that is.) The reason for its success and failure as an investment tool is due to the simple fact that the coins were meant to be used in daily life – all that was missing is the infrastructure needed to make it easy.

Yet The Current System Doesn’t Work However, there are two issues surrounding utilizing cryptocurrency in daily life. The first is that few retailers accept cryptocurrency at all. The second is that those who do accept these digital currencies typically only accept one out of the dozens of varieties available. Meaning it is possible to have a fortune of cryptocurrency in your pocket and be unable to spend a single penny of it.

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and more are being actively traded every day with new coin systems being minted just as quickly. With an estimated total market capitalization of $660 billion, there is a great deal of opportunity for ICOs to help spur the next stage of consumer spending and economic growth, but ICOs will have to bridge the divide between digital and physical. How can we solve this challenge? Take MoxyOne, for example.

It was founded with the simple goal of providing the infrastructure needed to help ICOs make the transition from an investment vehicle to viable currency. For its part, MoxyOne provides white-label services for companies seeking to offer a complete cryptocurrency solution for their investors and clients. This includes a “banking” solution that makes spending the coins as easy as swiping the provided debit card. Beyond working with other coin platforms, MoxyOne is also offering its own cryptocurrency known as SPEND tokens, offered for distribution through the respectable Cryptopia exchange platform. More platforms are coming soon, as well. MoxyOne’s Exchange Listing Consultant Rick Kennernecht is working to secure new partnerships with a wide variety of exchange platforms such as EtherDelta.

Recent successes in this endeavor include a partnership with the Decentralized Social Networking Platform Social (SCL). How to Integrate Digital Wallets with Physical Debit Cards By using the latest in digital wallet technology, MoxyOne has made it possible to securely handle transactions worldwide wherever debit and credit cards are accepted. All the end-user needs to do is install the app and activate the card – from there it is as simple as managing a traditional bank account, without the fees. This works through the implementation of Just In Time Funding (JITF) which allows for the instant sell of cryptocurrency into the required traditional currency as the user spends it. This means that the greatest hassle involved in modern cryptocurrency – using it in the real world – has been eliminated in a way that is completely seamless for the end-user.

The only fee incurred is the traditional platform exchange fee built into all cryptocurrency platforms. This platform will be released in early 2018, with a pre-sale beginning February 8, 2018, and ending on March 10, 2018.

The public ICO starts March 14, 2018, until April 14, 2018. MoxyOne will leverage Raiden Network’s micropayment technology for speed and Gladius’ DDoS technology for stability and overall security. Long-term goals will include integrating with the COMIT network for increased blockchain interoperability and overall access. In addition to JITF, we enable individual organizations and buyers to obtain the cryptocurrency directly from the holder. In addition to receiving the coins, a number of extra tokens will be provided to cover any extra expenses. This will help grow the platform and incentivize end users to utilize every feature of the MoxyOne platform.
