How can you make BTG work with mining pool hub profit switching?

yeah BTG does not show up under benchmark
The concepts around the algorithm for BTG is a bit complicated.

1) BTG was first listed as Equihash BTG on WhatToMine.com and Coincalculators.io
2) The algorithm for BTG was then changed to be reported as ZHash from these sites, so the name "Equihash BTG" probably need to be removed from Awesome Miner
3) BTG is based on Equihash 144,5 with some personalization.
4) There are other Equihash 144,5 coins like XSG that is considered to be just Equihash 144,5 but not Zhash like BTG. See CoinCalculators.io
5) Mining pool hub currently list the algorithm for BTG as "Equihash BTG"

So BTG has been a moving target and for that reason not been easy to tell how Awesome Miner should handle it. The plan is of course to support it out-of-the-box in a good way, but so far everyone seems to have a different view on how to represent this algorithm.
