What is Bitcoin Gold?

Question

There have been a lot of discussions about bitcoin-gold. What is it? I couldn't find an official website or something?

Answer 1

Bitcoin Gold is a new hard fork planned by Jack Liao (CEO of LightningASIC), that will happen on October 25. It's main aim is to decentralize mining by changing the Proof-of-Work algorithm to ZCash's Equihash algorithm, and they promise it'll switch to a different PoW when ASICs are launched.

Its addresses will start with G (P2PKH) or A (P2SH), and it has replay protection. _Source
