Interesting.  So the people who mine it are the ones who lost all their BTC on Gox.  They basically feel cheated and are going to start their own version of BTC like Gox never happened.

Hey I know can we fork the BTC chain back to November 3rd 2012 so that I can get back the 10,000 bitcoins I sold for $3.   I want it back because I made a mistake selling it as I did not realize that Bitcoin would be $1200 each in 2014.  So can someone make a new block chain for me.  I''ll send you 100 of those BTC at $1200 each that an easy $120,000 for the service. :p:p:p
