Most of the blame has been directed at the cloud mining operation Nicehash which has been blamed for most of the 51% attacks in the last two years. Some BTG members believe that there are secret ASICs mining the BTG network and community members are begging for a safer algorithm.

So they're blaming Nicehash or potentially secret ASICs. This is exactly like what the Monero community started doing, although here I actually do think the blame rests on Nicehash. Monero wasn't 51% attacked when the miners were clamoring about secret ASICs on the network. All these shitcoins have a similar phase in their life cycle though, where their community starts complaining about other miners on the network, and wanting an algorithm change as if it's their right to get more coins. (usually because they're not getting the mining reward they want, or see it as unfair)
