This is the Bitcoin Gold (Bgold) friendly fork project. I recently found out about it and I posted a video about it below. A source has been sending me some great information about it. This fork will come out before 2x and effectively neuter it. I think this project is a very interesting development that we should keep our eyes on.  This thread has been out there for over a month, yet it has taken a month for people to wake up to Bgold. I expect a lot more coverage soon.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAukxlpwyHg

Here is a link to a Twitter account that appears to be in charge of the project: https://twitter.com/lightningasic

Info sent to me:

"- BTG will be distributed exactly the same way as Bcash.

- BTG will have replay protection. Friendliness to Bitcoin is paramount.
 
- The exact fork date still undetermined, but it will be before Segwit2X.

- BTG will be listed on Bitexchange.com.hk, Bitstar.com, and many more soon to come."

I read thru the proofread version, and I am very interested in the potential.  Chiefly because the entry into ASIC mining is set at a prohibitively high bar for home miners.

I'm kind of hoping it would feel like being able to go back nine years with knowing what we know now!

Another idea for the ICO

Please change your website, it looks like a clone of Bitcoin ABC website, so it seems scammy.

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.

I really appreciate your effort on proof reading the details. Because the original info really hard to read and I have to guess the meaning of each sentence. I think you should join the team, this team needs you 

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?

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.
