It's forking season !!! When it will end? List of Bitcoin Forks (Forkly Updated)

[stompix]

Let's start counting (I will update the list as they emmerge)

At first we had
Bitcoincash - https://www.bitcoincash.org/ (claiming to be the real bitcoin)

Then there were the golden times:
BitcoinGold - https://bitcoingold.org/ power to the poeple!!! or Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again.

We failed with Segwit2X (although people bought futures for seg2x)

Entering Diamond Age
Bitcoin Diamond: http://www.btcd.io/  Based on Bitcoin protocol to improve the privacy & processing speed of transaction.  (lameeeeee)

And of course , superman is coming, and he's smart also:
Super Bitcoin  - http://www.supersmartbitcoin.com/index.html  - Make Bitcoin Great Again  (plagiarism much?)

Not forgetting the clashic
BitcoinClashic - http://bitcoinclashic.org/ - Satoshi's True Vision

Silver:
Bitcoin Silver: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2311582.0

Bitcoin Liza (no website no info , but trading on yobit futures)

To be updated....

And those are the Huuuuge differences between the first:

While claiming coins from every fork, there is effort involved in terms of separating coins. You also lose some privacy when you exchange your forked coins. At some point, people will conclude that the gains you make is not worth it. Given the number of forks happening, you may reach the point very soon.

Pretty long list of forks already. This is first time when I heard Super Bitcoin. And maybe someone knows more info - wtf is Bitcoin Liza? I can't find any information about it. I don't have idea from where Yobit took this coin and already announced futures trading. It's really interesting, how long forking season will continue and how many new shitcoins with Bitcoin name will born.

You are right. So far I only claimed Bitcoin Cash. Now I'm just lazy to claim other coins, separate it and I just don't see reasons to hurry with these forks.
It's interesting, how much of available Bitcoin Cash was taken by Bitcoin hodlers and how much are left untouched. But it's obvious that with every new fork, there will be less and less people taking new coins.

It will never end. While forks are profitable for someone,the forks will be organizing by these people. Also, I guess some BTC holders don't mind to get more profit from their coins.

I couldn't see your point sir, how do we lose privacy while claiming the new fork coins? And how do we claim our fork coins from exchanger platforms?

I saw lots of things about BCD, but exchanges didn't give it us yet, did they? The forking season is another trend after ICO. Forks will be more common in the future probably.

The forks that happen and don't get the majority vote the less the forks are going to be considered as improvement and more shitcoin attempts which  could potentially hurt Bitcoin in the future when we have some worth while forks. Most of these listed are bullshit shitcoins.

[blackwidow7]

I think all this forks will damage Bitcoins reputation for future. No new cryptoinvestors are taking 10-50 different bitcoins seriously.

[PMmesexycoins]

I'm afraid this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. It should accelerate as the concept popularizes, unless there's a very strong competitor, which would in turn become target instead.

A coin in itself might be limited, but copying it isn't.

[Erkallys]

Well if some people give a value to these forked coins, I am not against it, at least it makes me some free money for doing nothing. In life one must take all the opportunity he is offered.

[Titanos]

They are pumping bitcoin too much and killing altcoins. My portfolio is bleeding because of these idiot forks.

Dummy question on forks, since it's 'forking season':

When the blockchain forks, does everyone who owns BTC (or the source fork, which sometimes has multiple hops back to BTC) get a stake of new currency?  Basically, is it like the 'upstream' blockchain is carried over, called MyCoolNewCoin and everyone gets their existing share's equivalent of new coin?

I could probably google harder for this, huh? 

[J. Cooper]

Why do people always have to overdo things. Is it just plain greed? Because at this point we can't take every single fork seriously. Think about it, exactly the same thing happened with ICO's, at first it was extremely special but as soon as people started smelling 'easy' money scammers and cheap souls ruined the name.

Perhaps you're right but if they realize we don't care about there forks and when they realize they can't make a lot of money off it they will move to something else. We should stop taking them seriously, at this point anyone with some mining power can create a fork. You can't simply replicate the bitcoin 'franchise'.

Yup, that's exactly how it works.
They try to get a user base right from the start far better than with a random airdrop or bounty.
Everybody is happy, free coins, insane trade amount on exchanges...
But some do some slight modifications to the chain , adding coins for the dev (bitcoin gold did this).
And some release malicious wallets to gain access to your btc coins (bitcoin gold is involved in such a scam)

Why do people always have to overdo things. Is it just plain greed?

Yeah, everything is about the money right now.
Forget being your bank, security, freedom stuff like that.
Money, return, money, investment...people are getting insane nowadays.

i don't understand...btg doesn't have replay protection yet? and what is this amount encrypted on bitcoin diamond?

[Captain_Planet]

I got the yobit email too regarding bitcoin liza. I dont understand it honestly, May be they just creatnig the own coin like they did with segwit2x coin just few days ago. There is no news available on the internet apart from the yobit email.
