I like this project.  if you do not mind, I corrected some of the English grammar on the website.  I think that it is important because many people judge a project as a scam if the english is not "perfect" on the project website.  you do not have to use my corrections, just wanted to help.  I hope no offense is taken, and I am not very good at punctuation but am a native English speaker, if it is not perfect, i am sure someone else can help fix it.

What is Bitcoin GPU?
Bitcoin GPU is a full node implementation of the Bitcoin protocol.
GPU mining can protect Bitcoin's Key value: Decentralization.
ROADMAP
Once Bitcoin ABC hasforked from Bitcoin, BTCGPU will be activated at the same time.
It will be 1M+SW .
when the block size is full again, will en-creaseincrease  the block size to 2M，4M...
When will mining start?
When the code development is done, starts to miningmining will start.
The developer is working hard on it.
It will support original smart contracts.
If needed, it will hard fork again to support original smart contract.
not side chain smart contract.
ICO
BTCGPU will create 16000 blocks after forked from No 478558th Blcock.
every block 12.5 BTG.
it will be sold to ico investor.
1BTC=10BTG.
this ICO will help the BTG chain  be the longest Bitcoin blockchain.
all rised BTC raised will be used to hire developors developers, advertisement, etc.
ROBUST

A fork of the stable Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin GPU aims to build on this base with improved code quality. Development follows a process of continuous integration, based on industry best-practices.
SCALABLE

Bitcoin GPU implements the UAHF (User Activated Hard Fork) proposal to accept GPU mining. Miners can choose the size of the blocks they want to mine, with a default of 1 MB. It includes replay and wipeout protection.
MODERN

For too long, Bitcoin has been held back by the centralize centralization of the mining industry. GPU mining brings Bitcoin into the modern age with an exciting technological roadmap to enable massive on-chain scaling well into the future with decentalizedecentralizaion.

With the proper marketing and english grammar, I believe this could be potentially an exciting and controversial project. As an altccoin GPU miner, I feel like I am in favor of this but the real question is will switching to GPU mining really promote decentralization? Can't Bitmain or some other company again just purchase all the GPUs or make their own GPUs to again try and control crypto?

Yea, i actually found out about this because of your video.  Very interested in this project as well, thanks.  "pound that like button." 

Snapshot date changed to Oct 25th. Airdrop will take place on Nov 1st.

Announced here: https://twitter.com/btcgpu/status/912122750952652800

Yes it's probably just an alt coin with a presumptuous name, but a free airdrop distribution is always welcomed.

I visited the website, looks good. But dev was looking for software developers at OP, I was wondering if he managed to get someone good enough to handle such tedious claiming job.

I read on Coindesk that this coins algo is being changed to stop the large china miners..?  

Why hasn't anyone invented a fixed hash rate coin? (if its possible to code)
ie - no matter how much gpus you have it can never go over a certain H/s

This would then make mining fare to all,

maybe using an algo that stops sites like nicehash from raping a coin..


when will mining start? and will this coin be worth mining on a single gpu ?

nicehash is into equihash so this is also into equihash. :(

I have a feeling that this is just an artificial coin for mining, pumping and dumping, similar to Bitcoin Cash. There's no real demand from Bitcoin community for this kind of fork and Bitcoin users won't be switching to it, so it's not different from any other lazy altcoin. There's also no urgent need for mining decentralization or algo switch in Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is based on economic incentives, and miners can't dictate the rules.

Equihash

ASIC resistant, nicehash accessible. That's really sad.

This must be some kind of joke. I see 2 pages of posts and almost no tech discussion of code, compiling, or testnet?!?

Yet there is coverage in big crypto news outlets? I smell a rat.

With GPU mining, and ASICs disabled, it's virtually guaranteed to be at least break-even level for home miners paying normal rates for power if it's profitable for larger mining corporations with lower electricity costs. With ASICs, GPU mining is like throwing your money at the power company and asking them to burn it for you because you're too busy to spend it yourself. It's happened with every cryptocurrency that allows ASIC mining. Of course, people can still mine at home with ASICs, but they're a large initial investment that can't be used for anything other than mining; lots of people have GPUs that aren't doing anything very useful most of the time.

If you really want to coin to be truly decentralized it should be a multi Algorithm(so that any hardware can mine the coin) with difficulty re-targeting  ....harder difficulty for when the network gets busy... making it expensive and impracticable for corporate miners/farms to mine the coin , but mostly unaffected will be the small time miner mining from home and be rewarded more when the network slows down....

for example UIS & DGB

 ...making the Algorithm equihash is still limiting the coin to a small group of miners ...with a mutli algorithm coin ...everyone can mine it  :)

*sigh*... Why :(

Some people are saying on reddit that dev already mining.
I want to check if is true.

How can you make it "expensive and impractical" for miner A with 100 GPUs and "cheap and practical" for miner B with 1 GPU???

This sh!tshow isn't even in English. Basically a airdrop then mine with ETH algo. WHY?

this thread is full of dumb posts

Ethereum Gold?

I wonder how to claim BTG while I have got some btc on blockchain wallet ? I really need a clear guide for get free BTG coins. Thanks

Is there going to be replay protection ? Last I saw when I checked the project out was that there was not. Was wondering if they had updated the code to add it.

Following link will show you how to acquire your BTG! Basically, you need to store it in a cold wallet and claiming BTG is similar like claiming BCH. You need to own your private keys and get hold of BTC before 25 October fork. Free BTG will be available in the following listed exchange to date...

https://www.hulacoins.com/altcoin/how-to-get-free-bitcoin-gold-btg-what-is-bitcoin-gold/a-9

Exchange to list BTG :
1. HITBTC
2. BitStar
3. Beatcoin
4. Yobit

Wallet Supported for free BTG :
1. Guarda (a wallet + build in exchange)

They annoused replay protection and more other cool things
