Bitcoin cash would have had a much more friendly welcome to the cryptospace if they chose to use a different PoW algorithm and possibly a higher value too
Nonsense. If that would have been Bitcoin Cash's direction, it would have been every bit as irrelevant as BitcoinGPU. A backwater crapcoin consigned at best to be someone's pump and dump bitch. The approach Bitcoin Cash took launched it as the third-largest crypto. A golden baby that is likely heir to Satoshi's throne.
BitcoinGPU is a fork the same as cash if it managed a value of $600 then it would instantly have a market cap greater than BCH due to all the existing coins already in the market
Whether it can survive or just be another pump and dump is to be seen but even though it's using a different PoW algorithm it's still keeping very close to core and forking from the chain from the same block as BCH I believe if so whatever BTC you had then you will get the same BTCGPU this should instantly give it some value now it it can keep any value is to be seen
I don't know anything about this project it's just a good example of how a fork should happen
