I was asked to do this, so here it is. A budded piston is used in place of the observer reading the leaf block, and some slimestone and repeaters are used in place of observers for the item pushers. The clock is just replaced with a standard redstone torch clock.
The rates are lower because the item pushers have to operate using 4gt pulses. They are pulsed every other 6gt main clock. I didn't bother trying to optimize it.

![Easiest pigman gold farm 1.13+ (80 gold blocks/hr)
Build guide for 4 layers
AFK height: 214
Layer 4: 120
Layer 3: 117
Layer 2: 114
Layer 1: 111
Landing height: 86 (128 blocks below AFK height)
Spawn pads are a 10 block radius from edge of drop chutes, but this value is not exact.
Item collection is up to you, but I think my SP world solution works well @ 7:17 . Gold nuggets are about 6400/hr which is less than hopper speed. Rotten flesh drops bring it to above hopper speed, so these need to be sorted out first.
I claim this is the easiest gold farm because it
1. requires only digging, no block placement
2. gives 30-40% more spawns per block due to lower height (127 height vs about 170 for on top of the nether ceiling)
Item counter commands:
/execute if block -32 80 -6 minecraft:hopper{Items:[{Slot:0b,Count:64b}]}
/scoreboard players add count test 8
/data merge block -32 80 -6 {Items:[{Slot:0b,id:minecraft:gold_nugget,Count:56b},{Slot:1b,id:minecraft:rotten_flesh,Count:1b},{Slot:2b,id:minecraft:cobblestone,Count:64b},{Slot:3b,id:minecraft:cobblestone,Count:64b},{Slot:4b,id:minecraft:cobblestone,Count:64b},]} Easiest pigman gold farm 1.13+ (80 gold blocks/hr)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZuxkO71xtNA/mqdefault.jpg)
