So there is a lot of hype on the BTG fork. The number 1 quality that I hear is that it allows GPU mining. Basically anyone at their computer can mine BTG. How is this done? I would like to mine BTG, but there is nothing that I have found on the internet that can help me.
The change in the mining method (it won't be possible to mine it with ASIC systems) would cause real difference in mining, compared to the original bitcoin. When it gets forked, there will be a need for miners with decent GPU support, but there's a lack of information about the details. As the mining method is not compatible with the ASIC boxes, it was told that bitcoin gold is a backup plan if China will monopolize the mining of the original bitcoin, but it's not officially stated yet...
