Title: Bitcoin forks with stable clients/markets
Post by: illinest on December 28, 2017, 09:14:20 PM
I've dug around a bit, but can't find a running list of legitimate Bitcoin forks with recent information. Aside from Bcash and Bgold, I'm pretty ignorant of this stuff.

But if Diamond or Super Bitcoin or any of the others have legit clients (not malware), live networks and open markets, then I would love to know about them so I can dump my coins. :)

Running list of legit forks that are worth claiming:

Bcash
Fork date: August 1, 2017
Fork block: 478558

Bgold
Fork date: October 24, 2017
Fork block: 491407

If a Bitcoin fork fits the criteria above (in bold), please provide info in this thread. Thanks!

So, are Bitcoin Diamond, Super Bitcoin, Bitcoin God, United Bitcoin and all the others all scams? The Segwit2x re-hash?

I keep seeing exchanges like Yobit airdropping these coins on people, and I see lots of generic discussion of fork coins in general. But no one seems to have good, substantive information about them and the integrity of their wallet software and networks. And no one seems to know if they're scams.

So I guess..... assume they're all scams?

Never used any forks and thats why I wish to ask related question: do I need to use my bitcoin private key to access all the forks and that's security/scam problem?
