[ANN] BitcoinGPU (BTCGPU) - forked spinoff, new PoW, adjusting size cap, segwit

[jbreher]

I honestly don't know much about this coin. I'll just try to honestly represent what is available elsewhere on this coin.

People are stating to inject this into discussions on Bitcoin Cash. This is a thread where such folk can be sent for more meaningful discussion on BitcoinGPU.

Initial probe (?): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2046790.0

Website: http://btcgpu.org/

The website indicates that BitcoinGPU is to be forked from Bitcoin Genesis at the same block height that Bitcoin Cash forked (478558). I can not yet find evidence of a single mined block. I may be missing it. Please respond below if you detect a BitcoinGPU block at height 478559 or higher.

<editeditedit>
From downthread:
The main website has now been updated http://btcgpu.org/ and the fork block has been set at #491407
(not vetted)

What is Bitcoin GPU?
Bitcoin GPU is a full node implementation of the Bitcoin protocol.
GPU mining can protect Bitcoin Key value: Decentralize.

ROADMAP
Once Bitcoin ABC forked Bitcoin, BTCGPU will be activated at the same time.
It will be 1M+SW .
when the block size is full again, will en-crease  the block size to 2M，4M...
When mining?
When code development is done, starts to mining.
The developer is working hard on it.
It will support original smart contract.
If needed, 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 BTG chain the longest Bitcoin blockchain.
all rised BTC will used to hire developors, 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 mining industry. GPU brings Bitcoin into the modern age with an exciting technological roadmap to enable massive on-chain scaling well into the future with decentalize.

It is an interesting enough idea, but definitely does not guarantee a great market value just because of its name - having said that though I really, really love that there are more GPU coins coming out lately, as the market on that front has been dead for quite a while and there are now tons of miners with lots of mining rigs that cannot be properly used - instead everyone ends up mining the same set of coins more or less. We crave more variation!

[kurbeks]

equihash algo (ZEC) didn't see that mentioned in your post.

[jbreher]

Any blocks mined as of yet?

Actually I don't listen to him, only because he's a bit more irritating than all the others.
But
1. He's the one with the infos on the subject at hand.
2. Isn't he just a bog-standard bitcoin maximalist?
What happened, he outed the scam you're advertising? Good for him.

The Bitcoin snapshot is being taken on Oct 25th. Airdrop will take place on Nov 1st.

New info from tweet above - evidently, the previous announcement of block height is no longer valid.

Do your own due diligence - I'm merely posting what I see.

Replying to @btcgpu
Wait, it's not on block 487427 as previously announced?

Bitcoin Gold‏ @btcgpu  12h12 hours ago
No, we have postponed the fork day to October 25. More time to spread awareness & let more people buy #bitcoin for the free #bgold dividend.

CriptoMonedas TV‏ @CriptoMonedasTV  12h12 hours ago
Have you determined the block number for the fork?

Bitcoin Gold‏ @btcgpu  12h12 hours ago
Not the precise block number yet.

An old article with outdated information.

Read this one from Sep 27th: https://www.coindesk.com/first-cash-now-gold-another-bitcoin-hard-fork-way

And some clarifications from @btcgpu team:

That's recent, accurate information from trusted sources.

The question that is more important is about the mining, will be a only gpu thing? people that are today mining ETH can migrate maybe, because will be the same algo

[lunobird]

Most of the comments about bitcoin cash, most respected people in the community said it was "trash".  Well they were dead wrong and I see the same type of comments now about BitcoinGPU,  don't listen to the fudders.

BitcoinGPU I like!  Tired of bitmain asics having all the profit fun with their advance no lube technologies.  Great to see gpu mining having something decent to mine.

Those holding keep key wallets will the be able to get bitcoin gpu automatically in the hardware wallet or not supported?
