where can i read something about the fork ? when will it be ?
It's still uncertain if there will be a hard fork, but it will most likely happen. |

.. and that comes from a red-painted arrant ETH shill who promotes ponzi schemes.  |

and yes i have seen bitcoin hard fork at least once in the past and it has had so many changes and so many forks if that is the only thing you could come up with.
Any sources to support that claim? EDIT: OP, if Bitcoin reaches $5k or $10k its market cap will be equal to a small country's GDP. I think that's enough to call it success. |

How many times has Bitcoin been hardforked? I wouldn't worry about it to be honest.
Bitcoin was never hard forked... I could have sworn there was at minimum one due to a bug, I will have to look into it to be sure but I think it has. Yes two: here is a theymos quote on it " I think that the only two hardforks were:
- The change in the version message which took effect on February 20, 2012 after two years of advance notice.
- BIP 50
The other changes are all softforks.
You've missed one reply: I think that the only two hardforks were:
- The change in the version message which took effect on February 20, 2012 after two years of advance notice.
This is a hardfork of the P2P protocol, but not the blockchain. If you setup a protocol adapter (e.g. a node hacked to change its version handshake to bring the old behavior back) a prior release should still sync the chain... though it's been a while since I've done this. - BIP 50
Sort of a mixed bag there, you can actually take a pre BIP-50 node and fully sync the blockchain, I last did this with 0.3.24 a few months ago. It just will not reliably handle reorgs involving large blocks unless you change the BDB config too. So it's debatable if this is a hard fork either, since it's quasi-non-deterministic. There were prior bugs fixed where older versions would get stuck and stop syncing the chain before that too... So I think by a really strong definition of creating a blockchain which violates the rules mandated by prior versions we have never had a hardfork. I'm not a coder, but I've been told by a Bitcoin core developer that BTC has never been hard forked. And I trust the guy. |

The EF keep saying that Ethereum is an experimental project, but I think that its market cap is not justified. And they basically went to bed with the banks. That is why I never even considered to buy ETH, no matter if the concept of cryptocurrencies fails in near future.
I will repeat that Buterin and others behind EF has my full respect, but that doesn't mean I should like what they've created.

Jeffrey Wilcke: "I've begun work on a Gas Price HF in case that's the route we want to take" Source: https://twitter.com/jeffehh/status/784318008592183298I don't think that attacks on Ethereum network will stop and that is why it is going to be hard forked for the 2nd time. |

Looks like the guy is a fellow Bulgarian.

Do we need altcoins? I am not sure. But we need Litecoin.
You are a Litecoin developer, not an LTC cheerleader and you should act that way. Such statements are not helping. |

I'd say that about 15-20 coins can be considered as "good".

I won't say 96%, but handful of developers (like 5-10) are behind at least 100 coins, all created for one simple reason: scam.
the only reason is money (PUMP and DUMP) You don't say?  |

Coins/platforms (or whatever), which tries to compete with Facebook, Twitter or YouTube are doomed. If any of these feel threatened, they would just buy the idea. Why don't you people finally realize that the biggest problem of cryptocurrencies is the lack of adoption? You don't compete with Facebook and such, you use them in order to achieve your goal (making your coin/token/platform/whatever viral).

That's not an argument. You do realize that there are like 450k unique Bitcoin addresses? If we assume (and that's a really optimistic suggestion) that the average Joe uses 2 BTC addresses, then we can conclude that around 225k people are using Bitcoin worldwide. That's nothing...
what's the definition of a unique address as opposed to a normal one? It means that 1 Bitcoin wallet can contain (for example) 10 addresses, and that 10 different addresses doesn't mean that 10 people are using Bitcoin. |

You don't know how popular LTC is in China.

It's a shame that she is Bulgarian. There were quite a few articles in the Bulgarian press about this MLM ponzi scheme. I'm not sure how much money they made from OneCoin, but I can tell you that she is a multimillionaire. Back in 2015 she bought 2 buildings in Sofia's (our capital) center for 9 million euro and a 114 acre property near the Black sea for an undisclosed amount.

Yeah, right. If we include OKCoin.cn, Huobi, BTCC, BtcTrade and CHBTC CNY pairs, then Bitcoin is with like a billion $ in trade volume. |

Just had a quick look over Incent and I can say that I don't like how it looks. 1. There is already a German company called "Incent" ( www.incent.de). 2. I found this: " Die Incent GmbH, wird geführt durch den ehemaligen leitenden Angestellten Herrn, Joseph menn, welcher maßgeblich zu den betrügerischen Machenschaften der PMH support the Product the Media Holding's beigetragen Hat! Hier Soll Nun offensichtlich versucht werden Diese Betrügereien Unter anderem to Namen fortzuführen! The Schade, dass die-Mühlen des Gesetzes the in " bandenmäßigen Betrugsfällen "so langsam mahlen! Finger weg !!!!". I don't speak German, but I did used a translator and this does not speaks good. 3. Oh, well... just a hunch... |
