Bitcoin Forum

Hi Folks,
Just received this email from QoinPro. Not sure, whether this is official, but isn't it strange that there are so many forks now coming up for Bitcoin. Is this the reason for the bullish ride today of Bitcoin?

Here the message in quotations:
"We've had BCH (Bitcoin Cash), BTG (Bitcoin Gold) and BCD (Bitcoin Diamond) and more forks are coming. Forks planned for December 2017 and January 2018 are:
•   Dec 17, 2017 - Super Bitcoin (#SBTC)
•   Jan 2, 2018 - Bitcoin Cash Plus (#BCP)
•   Jan 28, 2018 0 B2X reattempt by the community (#B2X)"

I don't think any of these forks have much influence on the current BTC price since I honestly doubt that anyone really cares about these forks anymore.

Also the amount of forks we are seeing isn't all that strange. After all anyone can do a hardfork, and there seems to be profits to be made for the devs of each fork.

bitcoin diamond is supposedly coming out, but what I have been hearing its most likely just a scam, but I mean most of these forks are. I wish they would keep forking though.

The prospective proliferation of hard forks may be why Bitcoin Diamond is offering 210 million tokens, so you will be airdropped ten times the amount of bitcoin you have, if any. I guess the idea is that everyone airdropped that amount of potential profit will really want Diamond to take off. One might expect this to continue to absurdity, with Bitcoin Super Duper Double Platinum Ultra 100X to offer a trillion tokens. Eventually, competitive forces will do their work and the field will be left with a variety of surviving Bitcoins, each working their niche in a useful way. Basically we are witnessing the traditional cycle of innovation, imitation, exploitation, extinction.

Well said.

A threat to ICO, this is another way to earn money instantly.
I do not understand who supports HF?
I was worried that Altcoin would fall, altcoin dying.

Bitcoin diamond was a shit and nobody was excited about this fork, the same will happen with Super Bitcoin, what the hell.. is this the re-born of SuperMan? or what the hell is this fork?

I dont know why they are still trying to create more forks, because nobody cares about them, they are just filling the whole market with all this crappy coins.

They are a waste of time, and that wallet, i have never heard about that one, do you seriously have your coins in there? it is a very weird wallet mate.

They were incompetent enough for there to be malware in their reference client (for two days), and they endorsed a scam on their website which stole several hundred BTC from users.
This does not have a functioning codebase, so it hasn't happened.  It's also most likely run by crooks for a money grab, similarly to BTG.

I strongly doubt the integrity of any forks that happen from now on, and when they have names that are obviously just trying to ride on the popularity of other forks, there's no point paying attention to them.

After Bitcoin Cash failed to succeed I don't think any of them will get some attention, Bitcoin will still be consistent as it were. The main focus right now is at bitcoin by reaching a $10k price so technically other upcoming forks will be neither abandoned or denied by investors. There is no reason for buying some if too many forks will be done then they will only hold each other back.

Holy shit, are you serious? That's friggin' hilarious. Given the crypto community's awareness of money supply in and its importance I can't imagine anyone falling for that. Then again greed and dumbness never cease to disappoint.



I agree that competitive force will do their work. I doubt that many Bitcoins will survive. I'm sure that even less of the surviving Bitcoins will be actually useful.

Everyone who fall in this trap and export his private key to one of those wallets, then they really deserve to be scammed, that is what you were looking for, so yes,  you diserve to be scammed.

And those people who lost their bitcoins because of the scammy wallet that their dev's putted in there, it can be explained, because that was the 2nd fork that we have, but this is the 3rd, or the 4th if i am not wrong, everybody can make their own conclusions and see if they want to risk their coins one more time.

It is a waste of time for me, and i would not even think about exporting my pvkeys.

hard forks will be part of the forseeable future because in reality the miners are controlling a large proportion of the market and they basically decided to create bitcoin diamond for some big profits for themselves.. of course everyone wants this but the diamond doesnt seem like a very substantial coin to me bit of a rushed project just to get a bit o cash

Yeah there are always new forks coming along every month now. People trying to pump and dump off the name of Bitcoin. The most recent one is called "Bitcoin Diamond". I wonder how long it will last. lol

No upcoming hard fork is significant and so they don't have any impact on bitcoin price.Bitcoin diamond and bitcoin silver is said to come after hard forks.This has become a trend now and instead of creating altcoins,some miners get together and do a hard fork.But attitude of people has started to change now and they don't show now much interest in hard forks as they did earlier.

people are becoming immune to this kind of money-generating woodoo tricks  ;D
so even dozens of forks will not have any influence on BTC price soon!

Thisis the good and bad part about the open source of the bitcoin, because if one of the forks of bitcoin appears with a strange propose, we can wait and see if the original bitcoin can adopt this propose, the bad part is the scams, of course...

I just found out that. Surely this will be interesting to discuss. And I'm sure Bitcoin Holders will be happy with this. Because they got Airdrop coin hardfork for free. And certainly will raise the price of Bitcoin.

Exactly my sentiments too,i really do not think that people does not care about these forks as you are seeing it on a monthly basis,i have heard about super bitcoin from China but i am not sure about bitcoin cash plus,is it a fork of bitcoin cash or bitcoin  ;D,do we really see B2X reattempt again ::).

I don't hear about this fork..
Bitcoin Diamond trading on few exchange now.
Price $65.54, 0.00675856 BTC

Do you really think that will be happen?
Not sure about this:
Dec 17, 2017 - Super Bitcoin (#SBTC)
Jan 2, 2018 - Bitcoin Cash Plus (#BCP)
Jan 28, 2018 0 B2X reattempt by the community (#B2X)

Will,if this is true why should we scary about this all fork coming,as long its is designed for the good of all  system in the block chain and to make the process flow smoothly and wider the path of the way channel we must happy.but for as i know now that there's no blogs,email,news about new coming fork that apply in cryptocurrency world  because  they make an remedy  to not implement it,maybe that email you said is hoax and no significant value.

I'm beginning to think that we have nothing to fear from the coming hurricane of hard forks. We might even have a little to gain. Take a look at the latest list of all cryptocurrencies: https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ (https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/). At the present moment there are 1326 of them. Are any or all of them harmful to Bitcoin? Apparently not, to judge by recent Bitcoin prices. Now imagine if they were all hard forks off the old BTClockchain. That's quite a lot of collective valuation that would have airdropped to the collective of Bitcoin-holders. I also wonder if most future altcoins will themselves be hard forks. After all, who would bother with a non-BTClockchain altcoin when there is one just like it that hard-forked off the old BTClock? Even if both are all but useless, the one that airdrops even a smidgen of valuation at least will be noticed momentarily. An airdrop might come to be viewed as a sort of business license in the crypto community -- a fee that must be paid to be taken seriously at all. Which would seem to be a reasonable requirement. Perhaps, to paraphrase Mao Zedong, we should let a hundred hard-forks bloom.

There will be 5 forks in just a few months! That's incredible if its true..

...wow. Should I even bother looking up what these coins do differently? At this point, these forks are a waste of time. It seems to me like the community has gotten a little bit desensitized with all these forks. Heck, I'm not even interested in the airdrops. This is getting ridiculous.

As for their long term effects, I'm pretty sure it's zero. None of these will be able to generate enough support and interest to be considered a contender for the true Bitcoin title. They may be able to cause mini pumps just because some people want airdrops, and nothing else. They'll be lucky enough for exchanges to even list them though.

You ain't seen nuthin' yet. But don't worry about it.

Exactly so. But still, a little bit of airdropped valuation is better than none. And none is what you get from a non-BTClockchain altcoin -- and nobody's talking about limiting them.

Yes there is so if i were you buy and hold bitcoin and leave it in an exchange so you got all the fork of bitcoin. free money coming on your way. sell it when the market is hot!

You don't have to leave it in an exchange to get the airdropped money and you shouldn't. Never leave substantial crypto's in an exchange. You can have them printed out on a piece of paper and still get the airdrop if you owned bitcoins at the time of the fork.

Well that is somehow expected, at first it was bitcoin cash then bitcoin gold so it is only safe to assume that there will be another coins diamond, black, blue, red, etc much like a pokemon game but the thing is these alt coins will not thrive reason for that is because only a few people will support that mostly traders majority of the community supports bitcoin and i think that is why it keeps on rising.

I dont really understand why they are working with lots of forks if they can do it in one fork, sorry for my question im just asking, I know that there is a purpose and what is the purposes in each forks?

Each fork will definitely interest Bitcoin Holders. Because they will get Airdrop for every Bitcoin they have with a ratio that is generally 1: 1 / 1:10. And this is the advantage of being a Bitcoin Holder.

On the contrary, when there is a fork coming up, people are flocking in the Bitcoin traffic to convert some fiat or altcoins into Bitcoin. This is primarily because forks mean easy money. Every time there is a fork scheduled to happen, the pattern is usually that there is strong pump happening beforehand. Give-away coins from there forks to those Bitcoin holders are very attractive to many crypto fans.

If that is true, than its really, really sad. I dont think anyone cares for anymore forks. This is ridiculous, all those new coins trying to take advantage of bitcoins name. Why not just create a real altcoin without abusing bitcoins name for it?

After what happened to B2X I don't think people still cares about fork coins. It is clear that forking the blockchain is just a way for some people to earn more. These forked coins only have a little audience in the crypto currency community and I doubt that another fork coin will be successful in the future.

thanks to UASF, they used it as an excuse to create UAHF and create bitcoin cash with it, that started all this crap which we will be stuck with for a long time. and we will continue to see lots of shit-forks creating useless tokens one after another and each time with a lower price.

i also expect lots and lots of money loss due to these so called forks, where people either lose money because they send it to a wrong address or because there were no working replay protection and obviously like always there are scams like what BTG did by posting a fake web wallet on their official website and then also injecting a malware in their official wallet BTG core!

Unfortunately this is what we have to live with as it seems developers no longer want to go through the hassle of developing a working project. To go for an ICO, the publicity, the whole analysis of the project up to the point of knowing who and what the project is all about, the legality that surrounds it, among other issues which I feel necessitated the continue and no end in sight of the several forks that are yet to come. All I see here is some people needing to keep their wallet fat and not anything extra to contribute to the community.

Ok, the explanation is actually very easy to explain. Step 1 : Pre-mine the coin -- Step 2 : Wait for other people to push up the price -- Step 3 : Sell pre-mined coins for a huge pay day.

This is the latest version of Scam COINS in my opinion, because these developers pre-mine the coin and make tons of money, because people are led to believe that this is the improved version of Bitcoin. ^grrrrrr^

Most of the promised features of Super shit Bitcoin is not even included in the forked coin that would be released. ^lol^

yeah thats true, the new form of scam are came from the forks. they want us to believe on their coins and support it like how we support bitcoin. and now after the recent fork they want to create again a new fork to make us split into some options rather than we choose bitcoin, how pathetic these people are. they only wants to earn more money and not to contribute/support in our future currency which is the real bitcoin.

this data is interesting and maybe, just maybe, some of the forks will be executed (probably not). But treat the email as an attempt to lule you into investing into something the author of the email is selling, not as a good advice. This is what I would do. Nobody sends out emails just to inform people on something.
