They listed support from exchanges when these exchanges said they never got contacted by Bitcoin Diamond people, and more dodgy shit.

I know its tempting to try to quickly go claim your free BTC forks, but just be aware of the ongoing scams.

it was obvious from day one yet idiots still buying its futures. they deserve to be scammed.

as i though all this fork just jooking and try to scam as much people as they can. better just leave your bitcoin at your wallet and if the fork real happend and the coin is real too maybe there a way to claim your bitcoin diamond than send your bitcoin to untrustable website

Never liked those "forks", most of them look suspicious and yes, they are just instruments in hands of the "whales" to pump'n'dump prices of BTC and other coins, and earn even more money than they already have...

How are people getting the futures? Deposit btc to those exchanges and split?

The fork is good, when it has support of the community. When developers have reasons to fork, proper reply attack protection, mechanism, open source code and specific launch date.
But Bitcoin Diamond has none of highlighted above. So yes, they are either sammiest scam, or the most stupid team in the cryptoworld. ;D

I don't like any fork of BTC, Anyone trying to fork BTC, I will never buy the coin. I keep on my btc. BTC is btc no other names. The developers of fork are opportunists. WHy don't they create new coins and make ICO? They want to hijack bitcoin users to support them. FORk IDiot who follow are the same.

They deposit bitcoin to an exchange issuing BCD features and they get started in buying and selling BCD futures. This is very risky at the moment. Remember what happened to B2X futures couple of weeks ago after cancellation of segwit.

Thanks for the heads up. I treat the fork coins as some free coins and plan to take my time to claim it. It doesn’t matter whether the fork coins have any values, most importantly is my bitcoins are safe.

I read about how people lost their BTC in 2x futures and I hope other users beware in trading futures.

meh wasting time to talk about useless fork, lets just igonore it. they want to fork cause they want profit. and now we know this fork just scam lets avoid it and leave your bitcoin at safe place

BTC's forks are useless,BCH and other Bitcoin 2.0 are being created by the developers to gain more profits from the people,dont buy it its a waste of time.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was expecting something like this from a 'diamond' fork after scams around BTG and their site for stealing private keys + funds.

People need to learn that you should never ever give your private keys to random websites.

If there is no source code and no development it is pointless.

Anyway, is it safe if you move your Bitcoin to another wallet before claiming a new fork?

All bitcoin forks are trash and scam.
Yeah,even (especially) Bitcoin cash.

Avoid investing in them please

so now what action do we need to do to get around this? now hard bitcoin hard fork diamon is late, but some of us have been following this hard fork ,, what action do we need to do?
have you succeeded in claiming bitcoin diamond? I did not participate in a hard fork of diamond bitcoin ,, but I followed some news about this ..

The fork was use to support the increasing demand of bitcoin and I think this is really a good idea so that the market of cryptos will remain strong in the circulation its just so bad that other use this to scam other people but nevertheless it is still in the way how people protect their earnings whether the fork is a scam or not of you know when to invest and know what you trying to invest with you cannot be scam by anyone

They're not learning their lessons aren't they? from segwit2x cancellation, they buy some futures lost their investments, then this happened the launch of bitcoin diamond? what's next forkers? copper? not a marketing name, yet still people tend to bite these investments Ponzi schemes? without doing any proper research even from its features its smells fishy they just want to use the name of the bitcoin and the precious stone diamond but the coin is a possible scam. I wonder why many people quit cryptocurrency because they assume the whole btc are a scam, well do a freaking search people.

I'm not sure if it's a scam or not, but buying futures of a fork is always risky. A lot of users lost a huge amount of money because they decided to buy segwit2x futures, before the fork even happened. At least bdiamond already forked, but just like bgold they will probably took a while before we can claim or mine any coins. If they are ever released I will try to claim them, specially if they are traded closed to their futures price, but I would never buy bdiamond futures though. Actually I don't think anyone should by things they can get for free.

I do not know how far these forks can get, see the bch and now btg, which has a market of 6 billion, it's surreal that they're giving value to it, money created out of nothing.

We do have different things on mind which we can able to do different things on what most  people do tend to.I don't know whats up on their minds why they decide to buy future on those pre-fork event. We didn't still know yet or even haven't done but still they decide to purchase.I would say that they deserve to be scammed same as being said above not to be harsh but this is the way that they would really open their eyes on next times possible future.

I just want to sell some BCD futures lol free money, no way in hell I will buy any.

Do not you think that this is another attempt to raise money from hamsters? There are so many forks of bitcoin and I do not argue that everyone has the right to life, but why do people support all these forks? But on the other hand it can well affect the total capitalization of the Crypto-currency, the inflow of new capital is the Whole plus!

I do not think that bitcoach diamond is fraud. It takes time for this coin to prove itself and its capabilities. In a year or two you can talk about something. I now see only emotions, but not facts. About bitkoyn cash also initially said only the bad, but he slowly begins to enlist the support and, most likely, he will better perform the function of the means of payment than the original bitkoyn.

Only few days and already TOP 10 market cap. Welcome to the new way of making free money ! It's a shame to see this, such great team create product from scratch and some jerk came and became bigger with a copy/pasta low effort fork. The only thing is worth something is the idea of PoS for bitcoin. Everything else could be junked.

What is there to think about, if there are definitely fraud facts at the moment. So I doubt that this fork has a future with such a beginning. This is purely my opinion.

Oh my God, first people said that Bitcoin Gold was a scam, than everybody started calling Bitcoin Cash a fraud, now this is the fate on November, 24th born Bitcoin Diamond. Folks, these are only usual forks, the same like Litecoin was.

Maybe you are right. But this particular fork came out of nowhere. There was no news, no posts, no articles even no tweets about the fork. And on one day - here is it! The new hardfork Bitcoin Diamond. People don't trust important things (especially money) to those, who they don't believe.
The devs should just gain more community support, or awareness. That's all.

The blame should go to bitcoincash which probably made the creators into zillionaires, so now the process is going to be copied many times over. We can expect more of this to happen in 2018 until we are all so confused we don't know which one is the real bitcoin!

Lot's of people are warning the community about this bitcoin diamond thing that's considered as joke till now because there isn't simply any evidence of it's existence , even it's code isn't public and no one knows shit about such project .

People even say that this is just a scam coin pretending that it's better than bitcoin gold with better features but isn't really including much changes / or no changes at all . This fork is so unsure that people are classifying it as more weak than the claims that were made about bitcoin gold and bitcoin cash which just fell back after hopeless attempts of pumps .

We don't know yet who made this fork or is it even a legit fork , even the website isn't taken seriously by the community that are well informed in such fields and unless the coin is actually released people should take this matter with as much precaution as they can have since it's already tagged as a malicious scam project that will only steal off your coins  , no one knows what will happen so be careful people .

Its hard to tell which fork is scam and which is not. Just remember one thing never send your private key to any website which claims they will give you free coins from your wallet and secondly do not send your bitcoins to any untrusted exchange which claim they will send you free fork coins. Maybe they will eat your bitcoins and do not give you option to withdraw the money.

You could always take the extra safety option of sending your btc to another address before you claim your coins, and import the privatekey from your now empty btc address.
So your bitcoins aren't at risk.

This coin has already disappointed many people. The traders and the miners were dissatisfied. The coin will not last long. Most likely soon it will depreciate

We weren't even given BCD coins and I can't understand how it's a scam.

It's a free money for me. I won't hold it if my exchange give me my BCD coins. No reason to hold it in my wallet.

Is Bitcoin diamond supposed to offer something new? 
I will be very cautious about future forks after Bitcoin Gold advertised a wallet that stole my BTG.

I wanted to try to sell as soon as possible, instead I lose over $1000 worth of BTG. Bitcoin Diamond will probably be no better, they are a playground for scammers.

I don't trust any btc fock, it is just a way of scamming the naive people in crypto.

Duh, did people actually believe in bitcoin diamond? I thought most of the people lost hope in bitcoin forks from the very second bitcoin gold was introduced in the society. Not to mention the Segwit2X fork, it was listed in some exchanges and few people invested in it even before the fork took place, which was later suspended indefinitely. Free money is leading to a lot of problems and issues these days, better not be a fan of it in the first place rather.

Hope it is not a scam. Bitcoin Diamond is created to make all transactions much faster and safer. Transactions in the BTC network are open to the public - everyone can see what amount is in the wallet of another person and track his transactions. Some persons dislike it however.

Recently, I read a topic in this forum as in January 2014, the question of whether ethereum was a fraud was discussed. Many agreed that at that time the new coin, which had separated from bitcoin, was fraud. Now no one doubts that ethereum is quite a promising coin, which now as a workhorse performs many of its useful functions.
        Now, I see, the situation with the bitcoin that has recently separated from Bitcoin, bitcoin gold and bitcoquine diamond, is about the same. Why, in fact, resent? If these coins prove to be useless, much less fraudulent, they will just wither away and leave the market.

Those who do not like it can use other coins, for example, DASH. I like the idea of this coin. But the developers could not do so that many people were interested in this coin.

600% on Binance  1000% on Kucoin

That is crazy, I never see a coin can jumps more than 10 times a day, so what is the good news from the BCD dev team?

It seems that forks are now like 10 cent a piece. Most of the times new variants have no technical innovation nor solve any real problem, so just tries to moneygrab based on the powerful branding of BTC.

i have this coin for free when i hold my BTC
but last price is make me happy because from 1:10 it give me freemoney
this is great thing, surprise me alot

btw first post is not valid anymore  ;D

it,s so strange

Dont appear any real name associated, partnership with GAME isn´t confirmed. Volume Kucoin now its ridiculous etc...

At the moment for me  Bitcoin Diamond  SCAM

I will probably join the group of those guys who think that Bitcoin Diamond is a scam. Naturally, everything looks very suspicious. The holders of new alt got nothing but futures at some exchanges. Bitcoin holders, beware of the greatest possibility of scam!

I knew this since I saw their thread and I totally told my social media's friends to avoid it.
However, few of them still involved in because of greedy.
Please don't fall in the hole.

i think newcomer should be aware but for the first people who get it for free will be so happy
i read some post above
but after the crash i think this number is not valid anymore
but at some point post 1 is good to know

i never give any attention to bitcoin fork...
i think that all shit fork only a fast way for some people to gain money.
better i put my money on better alt coin like XLM NEO etc

useless forks, don`t get involve in it IMO, then we will not have to deal with them anymore
