DECENTRALIZATION

Bitcoin Platinum implements a new PoW algorithm, Equihash, that makes mining decentralized again. Special computer hardware designed for BTC mining (ASICs) is obsolete for mining BTP, giving ordinary users a chance to mine with ubiquitous GPUs.

FAIR DISTRUBUTION

A hard fork of Bitcoin is the most fair and efficient method of creating and distributing a new digital asset. Coins that are created from a new genesis block always have ownership concentrated among a smaller group of people.


REPLAY PROTECTION

In order to ensure the safety of the Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin Platinum has implemented full replay protection, an essential feature that protects users coins from being spent accidentally.


TRANSPARENCY

Bitcoin Platinum is a free open source software project that is built by volunteer developers and supported by a rapidly growing community of Bitcoin enthusiasts that stretches across the globe.

What is Bitcoin Platinum?
Bitcoin Platinum is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that will occur in December. At the predetermined block height, Bitcoin Platinum miners will begin creating blocks with a new proof-of-work algorithm, and this will cause a bifurcation of the Bitcoin blockchain. The original Bitcoin blockchain will continue on unaltered, but a new branch of the blockchain will split off from the original chain. The new branch is a distinct blockchain with the same transaction history as Bitcoin up until the fork, but then diverges from it. As a result of this process, a new cryptocurrency will be born.


What is the purpose of Bitcoin Platinum?
The purpose of Bitcoin Platinum is to make Bitcoin mining decentralized again. Satoshi Nakamoto’s idealistic vision of “one CPU one vote” has been superseded by a reality where the manufacture and distribution of mining equipment has become dominated by a very small number of entities, some of which have engaged in abusive practices against individual miners and the Bitcoin network as a whole. By changing Bitcoin’s proof-of-work algorithm from SHA256 to Equihash, all of the specialized SHA256 mining equipment will be obsolete for mining the Bitcoin Platinum blockchain. Thus, Bitcoin Platinum will provide an opportunity for countless new people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations. A more decentralized, democratic mining infrastructure is more resilient and more in line with Satoshi’s original vision.


How can I get Bitcoin Platinum?
The Bitcoin Platinum (BTP) initial coin distribution method is exactly the same as that used by Bitcoin Cash (BCH). All Bitcoin holders who possess BTC private keys in December (block still to be decided) will receive Bitcoin Platinum on the rate of 1 BTC = 1 BTP (If you have 20 BTC you will receive 20 BTP). You need to control BTC private keys in order to make Bitcoin Platinum transactions.

Platinum ?? Uranium ??

is this for real or scam ??

When starts PoW phase ?

Are you affiliated with Bitcoin Gold, Silver etc etc? If not you chose an unfortunate name as it raises red flags.

This is 100% for real, dear sir.

Really? The hell!!!
Why it didn't pass Bitcoin Silver?  ;D
Not a fork again which is just made to make money for those holding a lot of bitcoin.
I just hope this stops. The bitcoin name is getting dirtier every fork.

How is this project different from Bitcoin Gold? Both of it has the same aim and changed to the same algo... What is the difference and why it would be better than the Bitcoin Gold?

We have already implemented replay protection.  Bitcoin Gold is still scrambling around testing their implementation.  I highly doubt they will have a secure replay protection by November.  If you want to lose your money, go ahead with Bitcoin Gold.

Nice I just mined 100k

Contrary to what popular belief may be, ridiculous proliferation of bitcoin forks are a good thing. The more bitcoin forks out there, the faster the immunization of bullshit will be.

Once people realize bitcoin forks are nothing but a joke, it will only legitimize the real bitcoin even more, similar to how alts have turned into a circus except a few exceptions.

And with that being said, bring as many forks as you want, it was never a problem.

His thread posted couple hours ago was doomed to being deleted, so he made new one with the same old bullshit.
This is thee kind of crap coins/tokens that last only couple hours with nothing special to give.

Free money isn't a joke to 99% of people.

I don't know why you'd think this is bullshit.  I'm literally giving you guys free coins here.  There is 0% premine, everyone is getting a fair share based on the BTC they hold. 

Is this the same of Bitcoin gold . I mean the creator of bitcoin gold and bch ?

So are you talking about BTC Platinum or BTC Silver here???? Check your header and contents)) Next scam. LOL

in amazing how stupid people can be.... lol

What the hell another bitcoin so we have been entered into age of forks again and again without any solid team and nothing special what is offering with coin. Only to make easy with practice and nothing more.

This is open source community, every body is free to copy paste any existing project. did you buy Bitcoin cash? I didn't because I'm not stupid, I only sold, let the private investors lose money. did you buy BTC gold? I didn't because I'm not stupid, I sold at $520. let whoever bought them to have fun with them.
Will you buy this one? your honey my money for girl jumping practices, stop. lol. start, they have deep pockets like Wu? let them fork and buy up all the doubled coins, they are free to do with their money as they like.

---

Would you send your Bitcoins to a ponzi, double your Bitcoin scammers? if so, give the platinum your private keys if some body asked for them, we're not here to save idiots, they are idiots with/out any new fork.

This is duplicate scam....

OMG! New Fork Bitcoin shit ? haha

it may be too early to make this project a scam, it just takes a little time to figure out if this project is really reliable or not

I haven't seen such a bad idea. How can you really sure that people are idiot to not understand your purpose? If people send their money to you, you are really lucky.

let's just make a bitcoin for every user!

So everyone has his own btc, and we just have to trade to the cash we want to trade in

Finally this shit rally has been started now we will see so many project who will claim they could provide the better solution with centralized model. To be honest we don't need this kind of useless coins anymore.

BTP ?
Man I just love that acronym.... I'm SO IN  8) 8)

Why are you ripping off the real Bitcoin Platinum project?
Bitcoin Platinum is here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2315443.0;all) and it was announced earlier than yours with a lot more details, so please choose another name!

A fork of a fork...   :D

but that brings new??, it is the same as bitcoin silver !!

What about other information about the project? Roadmap? Pre-miner? And when will the website be available?

I think you are right. With just one altcoin using the bitcoin name the damage is already done. Having many of these alts stresses that they are just alts.

So will Bitcoin Bronze or Iron come next? ???

Forks every week now? When Bitcoin Rhodium? :(

If it's for real, It's bad for business, and for crypto in general IMHO.

plz.. if something is really new here...
can the dev or the Bitcoin Platinum do a comparison between bitcoin gold and bitcoin platinum????
thnakx

for me, i think this is surely 100% scam
check this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2316573.0 the name bitcoin shit, so funny

it could be!!!
for sure, no response from hours is not a good signal!
if the project it were not scam, i think dev had already should have written all!

Let's say, Bitcoin Platinum.
Maybe, it will be even better, than gold.
But, we need more information. Where is the wallet, pool, site at least?

we are arrived at Bitcoin Uranium!!
this way is really ridiculus!
try to search for "Bitcoin Uranium" here on bitcointalk and you will see it!!

 :o LOL ... Bitcoin Shitinum  :D
Fake Bitcoin Decentralized Again  ;D ;D ;D

Nice scam. Not very creative either. I'm sure it will fool someone.

I'm not gonna jump on this one, I'll wait for Bitcoin Titanium. :D :D :D

I just forked Bitcoin Diamonds  :o

Disable the FORK button  :D https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

I can not access it.

http://bitcoinplatinum.github.io/

Where did Bitcoin Bronze go? Lol

I would be interested if there is any chance of this getting listed on popular exchnages like  bittrex or atleast cryptopia ? do we haveany proper roadmap yet for this project?

After gold, silver, ect. It is one of the hardest time for community to judge someone is good project.

But won't it become cenytralized after some time as how it is happening with original bitcoins?

WHAT? Is there another platinum son, BCH, BTG, BCD, BTH, SBTC?,... Can't you finish it? The capital market of Chinese chive harvest game, no integrity. The leek when cut, the geometry of life! :-[

The real BTP appears to be here- https://twitter.com/BTCPLT

Hi.

Aria DiMezzo of CryptoCheck here. Please explain why this isn't a shitcoin, and isn't going to die in a day or two (at the most) from a lack of miner support, and explain how this is not going to simply do damage to Bitcoin's name.

Thanks.

Maйнит ктo этy мoнeтy?

Another fork. At least be more creative on the name. My advice:  Bitcoin Pro, Bitcoin Advanced, Bitcoin Premium etc.

Like your slogan ;D
With such ambitious slogan you must reach high. Good luck!

I heard we can get free bitcoin platinum. is it true?

yes

What I'm going to do is keeping my BTC at Bittrex and await for them to give me BTP and sell it asap.

And will never trade BTP ofc.

Free money is free money :P

Tell me where can I get Platinum?
On which exchanges do you need to keep a coin to get Platinum?

how to mine?

This is shitty,I smell scam

Hello folks!

This project turned out to be a scam already! Stupid korean boys made it up. Shitty scumbag!!

Korean communities are chasing after them.

Do Not ever expect anything regarding this!

It is entirely a FRAUD!

It's not clear yet whether this is indeed a scam or not. The only accussation there was based on some alleged twitter post where the alleged author admitted BTP is a scam. Such twitter post doesn't exist (anymore), though. Also it seems very strange that a scammer would admit being a scammer, it makes no sense at all unless he is really just a dumb irationally acting teenager.

Will using blockchain lead to an increase in transaction costs?

so are we getting bitcoin platinum or not?  it was postponed to 500000 correct?

plutonium?

when is presentation?

As for me, very smart solution for this industry

There is no website? Which exchanges are going to suport this fork? Wallets? I want to know because I plan to dump it asap  ;D

Automatic multiple Faucets for free coins, almost every bitcoin fork supported ! (https://qoinpro.com/70327382654f0191f8e95af0a140ed04/)

It seems that many people want to get coins that are easily famous through forking process which only turn to be scam. I think after this there will be another fork, can't wait to see it  ;D

This looks to have turned out to be more of a spork, than a fork. Please respect the forks.

People can use this tool to transact/claim forked coins (and whatever coin now or later): https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-transactions

See also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827163.0 for a summary and supported coins

Then let's see if BTP is a scam or not:

@shoeonyourhead you have not released you code yet but you should be able to provide the following information so we could include BTP in the tool, what we would need is the same as https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-transactions/blob/master/tx.js#L192-L204 for BTP and the hex representation of a transaction performed by BTP (ideally 1 or 2 inputs (with associated addresses and amounts) and outputs), thanks if you can send it
