Why would you want to mine this scam coin? It will become worthless quickly after launch

I agree a coin which is about to inherit the marketcap of BTC, less than three days before a supposed launch has:

1/. An anonymous lead developer with the rest having no track record. https://btcgpu.org
2/. No replay protection impemented. Meaning you could lose your BTC when claiming your 'free' coins if you're not careful. https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/18
3/. No working implementation of the Equihash algorithm switch. https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/15
4/. A number of unanswered questions regarding a failed ICO.
5/. A 8,000 block premine (100,000 BTCGPU). https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/blob/5a9f5b1d337babbbad53f787bc4914520266e1f0/src/chainparams.cpp#L89
6/. Despite claiming their whole purpose is to create a decentralized BTC alternative (as if there isn't enough decentralized shit coins already) claim in can't be solo mined.

What could go wrong? LOL

If you would want the maximum hash for 5000$, you could buy lots of r9 280X at 100$ or less each.
They tend to do 300 sol/s+ equihash same as the RX series, at a bit higher consumption.

Not a good idea, but it would be maximum hash for the money  Grin
