Knee jerk reaction: Good.
However since it is a 'Bitcoin cash' type coin this will ultimately hurt bitcoin and the community as a whole. I can already see the buzz "Bitcoin double spending attack!" articles

The hashrate for BTG is well below most other coins, a modest miner on another coin could easily switch and execute the attack, then switch back to their main coin and not have to pay large transaction costs for hardware acq or rental costs.
[edit] Also - bitcoin gold uses GPU mining - so one does not need to acquire specialized hardware to mine/attack it - and the hardware involved can be resold for other uses recovering a significant part of the capital cost. Or you could just rent it from the cloud.
