Bitcoin Gold too released an AMD miner. Well, they really did not coded this one but took help from lollidieb from LolMiner to make one. Lollidieb’s miner is compatible with BTCZ, SAVE, SNOWGEM, LTZ as well, not just Bitcoin Gold. This makes the miner compatible with the new Equihash BTG algorithm that has different parameters compared to the original Equihash algo that is being used for Zcash mining.
Hey, AMD Miners, We didn’t forget you! ⛏️⛏️⛏️https://t.co/mq7s6LTpXx
