Miningpoolhub Equihash BTG pool is not added to pool list
I am struggling to add it manually...could you please add it in next update ?

Best Regards

I managed to add BTG to AM but it's not pulling profit profile information down for some reason so the profit switcher won't switch to it. I added it  as a user defined service with the following info:

Service: MiningPoolHub
Algo: Equihash BTG
URL base: miningpoolhub.com:20595
URL Prefix: check stratum+tcp
Algorithm URL Part: us-east.equihash-hub
Algorithm API identifier: Equihash-BTG
Profit Factor: 1

This allows you to benchmark and connect to the pool correctly, but like I said no profit info is downloaded even after restarting AM, so the algo never gets selected.
This is a single coin pool, so it shouldn't be added as an Online Service, that is intended for the multi-coin profit switching pools.

I noticed that BTG is temporary disabled from both WhatToMine and Coincalculators due to the forking. You can however manually add this coin via the Options dialog, Statistics section, where you can specify this WhatToMine JSON URL to att BTG:
https://whattomine.com/coins/214.json

This MPH pool for BTG can be added like a standard pool in the Options dialog, Pools section. Enter the Pool URL, and specify that it's the coin Bitcoin Gold.

To use in the profit switcher, go to Options dialog, Profit Switching section and select it as a "Custom pool" to include.
