Notice the funny little "ICO" part?

Yes, just noticed about it BTCGPU and ICO part, they are intend to use GPU mining, and disabled ASICs in order to decentralize mining industry which is a good point of this hard fork coin. It become uncertain whether people will get free BTG or you should join the ICO presale, LoL Grin

But the point is whether people interested to buy this coin? as most people thought it will be another free coin, the value of BTG will be determined by how much money invested into BTG or just like BCash or Byteball free distribution. Still unclear
