I don't understand why everyone so excited about this scam? Bitcoin Gold will not mimic Bitcoin Cash "success" aka Pump.
Bitcoin Cash had or has real money from Roger Ver and Jian Wu backing it up. This scam has absolutely nothing but a premine to dump on your heads.
People are dumping alts for something that is worth nothing, nada, zero. Grow up and take care.
Its because its GPU based (equihash) there are a lot of GPU only miners out there that are forced to mine the likes of etherium because they can not compete with the huge ASIC farms
This is completely different to the bitcoincash launch because it was competing with huge mining firms for SHA256 hashing power and had a huge backlash from the BTC crowd for this reason BTG seems to have a much more positive reception and if there is any value then you can guarantee there will be huge mining support
