The original intention was good. They wanted to give more power to the small scale and medium scale miners, and wanted to end the dominance of the giant mining farms. But in that case, it would have been much harder for any criminal to launch a 51% attack. Because it would have taken thousands of miners to launch their attacks simultaneously. I was thinking that BTG was safer from the 51% attack, when compared to the other forked coins such as Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Looks as if I was wrong.
