One of the core features of Bitcoin Gold was designed to be the ease of mining. According to the creators, they were aimed to make decentralized coin, by making the GPU mining profitable for big range of miners all over the world. But there are so issues with it. BTG Mine and MinerTopia BTG mining due to unprofitableness.

And we got some more news on BTG mining for you. PRO told Russian blockchain related website Forklog that SuprNova mining pool was sabotaging the network for six days. Thus, according to the article, a large operator of mining pools Suprnova ignored the software offered by Bitcoin Gold developers and began mining blocks using other software. As a result, the Bitcoin Gold pool from Suprnova at a certain moment was responsible for 99% of all generated blocks. At the time of the Bitcoin Gold network launch, an unforeseen hardfork took place due to a 51% attack, because for a number of reasons the BTGPOOL.PRO pool controlled 95% of the network for a while.

As a result of negotiations with the project developers and the community, the chain of BTGPOOL.PRO was recognized as correct. After stabilizing the network, the BTGPOOL.PRO pool generated 20% of the total hash. However, despite the impressive amount of mining capacity, the pool began to mine fewer and fewer blocks per day, and eventually stopped finding them at all.

A similar situation prevailed among other players in the industry, which led to the loss of some dissatisfied miners who could not get a reward. According to representatives of BTGPOOL.PRO, the Suprnova pool did not support the Segregated Witness protocol in the Bitcoin Gold network, and began to extract only blocks with a limited number of transactions that do not support SegWit. All other pools attempted to compute a block with a large number of transactions, because the protocol was used.

Thus, transactions from other pools in the network were not confirmed and were actually blocked up to three days. BTG mining issue Since the remaining pools initially added support for SegWit, with the increasing number of 'pending' transactions, their total hasht fell from day to day. According to the source for ForkLog, Suprnova deliberately sabotaged the network, resorting to unfair competition to attract as many miners as possible. Thus, many pools have lost significant mining capacity as a result of targeted sabotage. In addition, according to representatives of BTGPOOL.PRO, Suprnova intentionally misled users, overestimating the performance of their BTG pool hash and often equating it to the overall hash of the Bitcoin Gold network. Bitcoin Gold pools In connection with the current situation, the BTGPOOL.PRO pool, which lost 50% of its mining capacity as a result of Suprnova's activities, establishes a 0% commission for all miners.

According to the interlocutor ForkLog, the pool will continue to support the protocol Segregated Witness and the software recommended by the developers. It seems that the flame of the idea in the crypto industry is burning out, and everyone is chasing profit.

Miners are no longer interested in forming a community where all issues are resolved through voting. Now in the first place for them is profit, but we refuse to use the strategy of deception to stuff our own pockets. We support those who believe in Bitcoin Gold, and we consider our position to be correct. BTGPOOL.PRO Team Worth noting that at present time the problem is solved, and after a long discussion with the developers of the project the Suprnova pool added support for the Segregated Witness protocol. Earlier MinerTopia and BTG Mine's mining pools announced their closure due to the unprofitable mining of Bitcoin Gold, calling it 'a waste of time'.

However, as explained in BTGPOOL.PRO, these organizations simply were not ready for the realities of the mining business and possible transaction costs related to the security and content of servers. In addition, many players in the industry were seriously affected even when the network was launched, finding themselves in the wrong chain and spending considerable resources on extracting to anyone an unnecessary coin. Even then, the miners expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation, which led to the reputational damage of some pools. Hype.codes does not support any of the parties in this situation. We do not blame and/or justify anyone. We simply brought the opinion of one party.

In order to respond to both crypto mining and gaming markets, AMD is planning to increase production of graphics cards, which are currently in short supply because of the crypto mining popularity. For instance the recently launched RX Vega GPUs is now out of stock. According to AMD press release the revenue from the company’s Graphics Division has reached almost a billion dollars in the last quarter of 2017. Taking into account the shortages, AMD is trying to satisfy both miners and gamers.

High prices of different cryptocurrencies inspired investors and enthusiastic miners to invest and buy GPUs. They are used to mining currencies like Ethereum which requires moderate computing power.

The main AMD’s competitor, Nvidia, forced by miners’ appetite, took steps to ensure gamers that they have a chance to get hold of its video processors. It limited the number of graphic cards that can be purchased at a time. At the same time, AMD admitted that its Radeon cards were in short supply because of miners. That is why the company hopes to satisfy the growing demand by increasing production. Lisa Su stated that the company is ramping up production. Shae presented the latest corporate earning report saying that cryptocurrency mining market is good for business. Advanced Micro Devices has announced $1.48 billion USD of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017.

$958 million of that total came from its Computing and Graphics division, where the year-on-year increase reached 60%. Sales of graphics cards, like the new Vega 56 and Vega 64, have been a key factor. However, there are other important players which may influence AMD’s ability to satisfy gamers and miners.

The company will also work to overcome the deficit of RAM. GDDR5 and HBM2 are the two main types of memory chips used in its RX 400, 500 and the new RX Vega graphics cards. Another factor is that the miner’s demand tends to change due to the increasing or decreasing value of crypto.
