Title: How To Fork Bitcoin
Post by: Paleus on May 14, 2019, 08:10:47 PM
Over the past couple weeks, our team at Diginomics Corporation has been putting together an online tutorial on How To Fork Bitcoin (https://diginomics.com/tutorials/how-to-fork-bitcoin/). Although the course is still in development, and will be released gradually, lesson-per-lesson, over the next couple weeks, I wanted to make an early offering to the people of bitcointalk. The first lessons are available immediately with the following lessons to come online in the next few days.

For the first 21 people who use the code 'Xrs3&2sde' registration into the course is absolutely free. For those who use the code afterwards, a discount of 15% will be available with the code. You also get an additional 10% off when you pay in bitcoin.

We designed this course for the people who are interested in forking bitcoin to begin mining a new chain or creating their own cryptocurrency from genesis. This course allows you to:

  • Understand how forking works
  • Set up your development environment and fork the bitcoin core repository
  • Introduce technical customizations to the blockchain

We have also designed a support forum for students that is available for questions about any of the courses. Instructors check into the forum periodically to answer questions and post updates. Please take a look at the support forum (https://diginomics.org).

If you have any feedback for the course please contact us directly or leave it in this thread. Once again, bear with us as the course content is updated (written tutorials, video screencaps, and timed examinations).

Thank you for reading and we look forward to seeing you inside the course!

First of all, I wish you success in your new initiative. But there will be a general criticism. We've spent 2 years on the fork. Everybody knows about Bitcoin Cash, but there are so many Bitcoin forks in the market that you'll be amazed at once.

Here is the part I will criticize. We don't need any forks on bitcoin. I don't even think we need a fork on any network. I think that only fork can be accepted for system upgrade. I advise you to be more sensitive about this.

I'm sure your training programs will be useful. I hope you'll be very successful.

If you will allow me to answer your query and concern ...

It is true that there are numerous forks of bitcoin on the market today but we do not see this as a sign that "we don't need any forks", but rather that there is a clear market demand for forks. Additionally, forking bitcoin does not necessarily pose a threat to it but challenges its robustness and makes it more resiliant to compeititon.

It is good if there are many forks of bitcoin because it demonstrates that the technology is useful. We should be worried if there were exactly zero forks of bitcoin.

This topic is a very good one and I believe a lot of persons especially developers would be interested in this, because the truth is that not all developers we have in the world can fork a blockchain unless they study how the blockchain works, though I think this part of the forum you made the post is wrong since we are not talking about altcoin but more like development, so I think it's nice if you move this topic to the development section of the forum.
