Re: Bitcoin Gold Launch Set for Sunday 7 PM UTC, 2 PM ET, 11AM PT
From a mining prospective this didn't start off well. Mining was suppose to start at 2pm EST. A test nest was set up to get miners dialed in a head of time.
Bitcoin Gold was pre-mined by the dev's to block 499407. By 3pm EST they were only to block 493826. By 9pm EST there were still 1060 blocks left.
The miners that were able to mine were mining for free only contributing their hash to the dev's pre-mine

It took hours after that for pools to sync to the BTG chain.
Mining finely started around 10pm EST
I gave up waiting by 3pm and kept mining ETH. So many people moved from ETH to try and mine BTG that it brought the difficulty down.
Within 24hrs BTG was less profitable to mine at current price and a lot of people switched to something else.
