List of good ETH forks?

[jademaxsuy]

Let me ask you a question, Do you really need eth fork?. Why not just use the eth itself rather than using an eth fork. If I we're you I would use the eth crypto rather than the eth fork. Eth doesn't have high transaction fee so it's also a good choice to choose where forks might be not as good as the eth itself.

you're right. nobody needs all these forks. this is the dumbest investment you can find. Forks exist in order to improve the main blockchain and I don’t understand why people buy these coins

Another good question, so I did some research and found these forks:



https://www.forks.net/list/Ethereum/

However, I never heard any of them, so I would say that there's no good ETH forks so far, and just like BTC the one and original still takes the interest of most investors.

Wait, the only one that ring a bell to me is EtherGold, but it is still way behind its previous all time high, like -60%.

There are more scam forks as my memory reminds me: Ethereum Dark, etc. Their scam developers asked for mnemonic seed of ETH in order to claim their scam coins. After being detected by community, they tried to make other scam ones. I did not follow up what they did after get failed with their scam attempts. Maybe those mainnet of scam coins have never been launched.

I don't know how correct the stats on that site are because when I checked with Bitcoin forks, there are not many forks are shown. AFAIK, there are more than 100 forks of bitcoin.

I won't suggest you a ETH fork as all of them are useless. Though ETH itself is a fork from ETC, they have become the largest utility coin.
Every other ETH fork after that are just a gimmick to gain popularity. And good developers have stopped forking coins.
If you want competitors for ETH, new chains like Cardano, EOS and to some extent Tron could be a good option.

That's certainly true, mate. Most ETH forks are indeed useless. I'm surprised that this has not been the case with some Bitcoin forks (such as BCH and BSV). One thing for sure is that forks have lesser value than the original project. This means that no matter which features or technology a fork has, it could fail in the long run if there's lack of demand on the market. Real use cases for the mainstream world is what matters here.

Speaking of ETH-based forks, I guess that the only one that's best is ETC. The rest will simply go down the drain over time. Forks like Expanse, and Ubiq have promising features but they lack mainstream adoption. As far as alternative smart contract platforms go, I believe that Cardano has a better chance of becoming a real contender against Ethereum. At least, it's not an ETH fork, with its own code from scratch. Some say that TRON has "plagarized" Ethereum's whitepaper. I've been using it for a while, and I have to say that everything is the same as ETH except for the part of the DPoS consensus algorithm.

I think that the best option here is to buy and "hodl" Ethereum Classic (ETC) for the long term. It has reached new milestones in development after it came into inception in 2016. Now, ETC is a store of value just like Bitcoin with only 210 million coins that will ever be mined on the Blockchain. The total supply vs current price on the market, shows us that ETC is quite undervalued. But who knows? Maybe ETC turns out to be a good long term investment as miners from ETH switch to the ETC chain. After all, the main ETH blockchain will become a full-fledged PoS cryptocurrency. If active development continues on ETC, it could turn out to be widely successful over time.

2. Ethereum is not a fork from ETC, you got it all wrong, Ethereum Classic is the fork from ethereum.

Hmm.. Isnt ETC stay on the old chain?

Thus, instead of making the change when ethereum created a completely new block chain, the vocal minority continued to undermine the old version of the blockchain.

So which one is the fork??

The only reason why ETH become dominant is because of the support of the majority of the community and developers.  Try to read this article : Ethereum Classic vs Ethereum (ETC vs ETH): What’s the Difference? to know which one is a fork.

Why people still finding alternatives? Currently a lot of happening on the Ethereum network, finally they should deliver what they are promising for 3 years and what's better? The price is 83% down since the last ATH price. So I do not see any reason, why you should care about the copies when you can have the original one .

Does anybody know of any good ETH forks worth investing these days? I've previously invested into Expanse, only to lose a substantial amount of money because of the ever-decreasing prices on the market. I have some ETC left after the hard fork on 2016, but I'm tempted to sell it in exchange for other smart contract platforms with greater tech and features. While TRON and EOS are not ETH forks, they certainly look like a better option than ETH-based forks for long term investing.

Still, I'm on the hunt for good ETH forks that are popular in the mainstream world today. I plan to invest a little into each fork for diversification. If anyone knows a list of good ETH forks, please let me know. Any suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I recommend one token which in my opinion is very good. I followed the journey of the token starting from the first project listing until now. Atomic Wallet Coin is a wallet platform that has two token versions, the Ethereum and Binancedex versions.

If you look at this time, the price of the token has reached
$ 0.318849 USD (19.26%)
0.00003233 BTC (18.15%)
0.00128816 ETH (17.72%)

I am sure if you have a lot of capital, you will reap greater profits.

1. Not all Eth Fork are useless
2. Ethereum is not a fork from ETC, you got it all wrong, Ethereum Classic is the fork from ethereum.
3. Ethereum Classic (ETC) is good enough for OP to consider, we also have DAO which is another excellent fork of Ethereum

but in the reality many of them are "claimed" ethereum fork are useless and shitcoin.
i just know ETC and ETI are still running and have big community than other Ethereum fork coin

[eidoscore]

for now idon't think any good ethereum hardfork are good to be an investment coin, but why not to trying in old Ethereium fork like Ethereum classic where tis coin are more trusted and reliable where developer and community are active and have big marketshare

Thanks for sharing. There are currently many ETH forks out there with unique features in the crypto/Blockchain space. For instance, Ubiq has a greater block time than ETH in order to reduce the number of orphaned blocks (uncles) on the Blockchain. It makes the network more stable than the original Blockchain platform. The only thing is that UBQ is not as widely adopted as bigger forks like ETC and EXP. At least, the idea/concept is there. We can have as many ETH forks as we like, but ultimately one will win. Considering that ETC is the biggest ETH fork in the blockchain space, it has all the odds of surviving for a very long time. I'm placing my bets on ETC, hoping that it'll become extremely valuable in the future due to its limited supply of only 210 million ETC.

Why people still finding alternatives? Currently a lot of happening on the Ethereum network, finally they should deliver what they are promising for 3 years and what's better?

Well, the Ethereum blockchain is currently clogged with high transaction load. The dev team is taking a long time to scale the blockchain with the adoption of PoS. Everything is starting to look like Bitcoin right now. In ETH, there are already Layer-Two solutions on the works to reduce the burden on the main Blockchain network. But we definitely need ETH to go full-fledged PoS in order to drastically boost transaction performance. Right now, ETH forks may be cheaper and less widely adopted than Ethereum, but they're faster and much more scalable.

My favorite ETH fork so far is ETC due to its hard cap in supply which resembles Bitcoin in every way. I believe that once ETH goes full PoS, miners will migrate into the ETC chain. As a result, ETH will become less secure while ETC will gain all the benefits. Since I still have some ETC from the fork back in 2016, I have nothing to lose if it turns out to become a failure in the future (I hope not). The more it rises in price, the better it'll be for my pocket. I think that buying and "hodling" both ETH and ETC will turn out to be a great investment in the long term.
