Here some information about BitcoinGold project which plans to be forked 25 October. The main aim is to make bitcoin decentralized as it should be. Mining algorithm is equihash (like at ZEC).

https://www.facebook.com/btcgpuI've just heard the news and make this post here. I'm not related to this project.
Will they be success? Let's share opinions.
Just another senseless fork. It has no real long term value because it brings nothing new to the table. Equihash is not a bright enough idea to avoid centralization of hashrate. I believe Bitcoin will have a hardfork long term with multi randomized algo changes that will avoid miners from stacking ASIC machines.
Dump this fork when you get the coins.
