we just had the "super bitcoin" fork on the 12th of december....when is the next bitcoin fork scheduled for?



some rumored forks:

unitedbitcoin (this one was said to have happened? havent heard anything definitive yet)

lightning bitcoin (the supposed upcoming fork...not much info out though)

bitcoin cash plus (around 1/2/2018)

b2x (aka segwit2x..was cancelled and reattempt failed. 1/28/2017 said to be the new date)



anyone with some info, enquiring minds would like to know.

These are coin splits of the digital currency Bitcoin, created intentionally via hard forks of the blockchain, sharing a transaction history with Bitcoin up to a certain time and date:

Bitcoin Cash - https://www.bitcoincash.org (Forked at Block 478559, 1 August 2017)
Bitcoin Gold - https://bitcoingold.org (Forked at Block 491407, 24 October 2017)
Bitcoin Diamond - http://www.btcd.io (Forked at Block 495866, 24 November 2017)
UnitedBitcoin - http://www.ub.com/ (Forked at Block 498777, 12 December 2017)
BitcoinX - https://bcx.org/ (Forked at Block 498888, 12 December 2017)
Super Bitcoin - http://www.superbtc.org/(Forked at Block 498888, 12 December 2017)

you can read all detail at their website. Actually i have no idea what they did there, and i think all of this fork is only an excuse for the dev to gain some profit. some of the forking coin up there have like a ton premined too.

can we not talk about it, again. i mean you can type "fork" at search section and a bunch of thread will show up. They all the same just greedy devloper want to make their own pocket full. cheaper price faster transaction they say, ofcourse it is, your coin have no mf price so yes the fee is cheap >:(

We should not pay any attention to Bitcoin forks. Satoshi wouldn't have wanted this. He spent a lot of time talking about how to resist them. Even forks that got some attention are not doing so well compared to Bitcoin right now. Although Bitcoin transaction fees are so high it is a bit worrying whether there is a future since altcoins are a lot cheaper.

Forks are bad.  They are foolhardy attempts to attack Bitcoin (https://medium.com/@lukeparker/the-trust-attack-a6241a08a9cd).  But Bitcoin is stronger than all attackers, thus leading to an observed rule in practice:

You fork, you die.

Genuine Bitcoin has crushed numerous forks and attempted forks:  “Bitcoin XT”, “Bitcoin Unlimited”, “Bitcoin Classic”, and the “New York Agreement” (misnamed “Segwit2X”; nothing to do with Segwit), to name but a few.  These no longer exist.  For the current outbreak of forks, if you wish to claim some fork coins, then dump them in exchange for real Bitcoin, and enjoy your free bitcoins.  Otherwise, simply ignore.  Anything from “Bitcoin Cash” to “Bitcoin Super Diamond Plus2X Plutonium With Ponies” is only a scam; and these scams will die sooner or later, just as did their antecedents.


There are many pretenders to the Bitcoin title.  However:

There is only one Bitcoin.

The thing is there's people looking to earn by forking the BTC, hopefully the list on OP isn't " official".

If this happens again it is very profitable because we can benefit from a hard fork.

Can you make updated news on first post?
super Btc is experimental so it's not official yet right?
and what happen with Bitcoin diamond?

whether the forks are good or bad, that’s still free coins holders can collect on.  and we all know free coins=free money.  bitcoin cash seems to be doing pretty well for itself.

Already supporting everyone because they see it as free money.
Everyone wants to have something for free. And if the price goes up, the person is satisfied :D

Most of the current forks are really mean to be helping the bitcoin network at all but help big corporation of miners.

check this post.

bitcoin cash not doin too bad for itself

This I would advocate all do this right off the bat. Get your coins and dump them and no longer associate with those projects because they are greedy and utterly useless in the long term.
