What do you mean "attack miners"?  Hadn't heard about this.  Do you have a reference as to what is going on?

Some people think currently Bitcoin mining is centralized by few major miners(mining pools). That's the main reason BTG is created.

Cannot understand why anyone would support Bitcoin Gold or Bitcoin CASH. Its about trying to make quick money - nothing else in my opinion.

I was not aware of this. Do you mind sharing where you got that information from? Links / posts if you have them. If true, its probably an expensive attempt to make bitcoin cash irrelevant. In that case then its not surprising. Bitcoin maximalist feel threatened by Bitcoin Cash.

I guess the writer who wrote 'to attack miner' is referring to big miners and pools been attacked by small gpu miners as a result of ability of bitcoin gold been mined efficiently on old gpu's . The idea in itself is good but the shade covering the whole bitcoin gold is bad for business. You can not have huge pre-mined coin and expect anybody to take you serious!
