Is this coin a scam or not? It's hard to find from all the comments here. I want to put a couple of GTX 1080ti on zhash. Wonder if BTG a good choice??

Yes, they are scam. They have a big list of issues how they scammed ppl:

1. mybtgwallet - scam wallet that was promoted by the team, ppl lost around 2 mln $;
2. devs sold all their coins ATH (500 $) + Xapo dumping all their coins;
3. devs made 51% attack to get more coins, since their burnrate now is 25000 coins per month (around 300-500k USD);
4. huge premine - around 200k coins.
5. hidden fees in pools, devs got around 8k coins with hidden fees.

List is even bigger. Dont believe what they say, there are good ppl like me who tried to warn ppl to avoid this scam. Be smart and dont invest in Bitcoin forks like this Shitcoin Gold.

Is it not true this coin was created buy that serial scammer Rett? or Brett/Brat, whatever the kid is called, not the first or last either & when caught out he tried one last fork into some BS coin which he had bought 1% of the total supply before announcing the fact he was going to fork it, (which never went any further than the BS coin pump) talk about blatant & shameless, lol! So the coin is the offspring of a pumper and scammer, weather or not you have good intentions now the damage has been done by rett & the above mentioned "issues": insecure wallet, dev's exit, 51% attack to produce extra coins & ofcourse the get rich scheme that was the premine.

... if I'm wrong in any way please correct me!

You are completely wrong, you are talking about Bitcoin Private. Rhett has never been involved in Bitcoin Gold except once in our old Slack he tried to convince people to use his fork without the premine https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/776s79/rhett_creighton_on_twitter_i_removed_the_premine/ . I remember this personally.
Then he disappeared and popped back up with BTCP. Again, we have never had anything to do with him, here is our team: https://bitcoingold.org/team
Hope that clears up this misunderstanding.

Thank you for your reply and just prior to coming back i found him talking about BTCPrivate with leon and tai, where he explains all the timeline for the "antics" he got up too, as if it was all innocent. I apologise for my mistake, BTG has nothing to do with Rhett, or Rhett has nothing to do with BTG! ;-)

good luck
