Is Bitcore still active or have devs stopped working on it?
The Bitcore development team is very active and continues its activities and development. I'm waiting for the start of production of ATM, to see how the popularity of the project is growing. I hope the prices of the new ATM will be adequate.

Keep your Coins in the wallet, Bitcore is the best Bitcoin Fork. The development of the roadmap needs time but the team is working and delivers. Why is Bitcore the best fork? - The distribution of the coins is much better, see the rich list https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btx/#!rich. - The technical details, very fast and asic save POW. Lot's of coming inovations like ATM's and a complete FIAT payment network.

it is still active as the above replies claim. In addition you can check this link to see that the development team has been making commits to the code throughout the year : https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcore/developer#panel

Why would anyone buy this coin? It's main purpose is to make it's developers rich and on the offside it pretends trying to beat Bitcoin. And it's not even decentralized, don't be stupid get out now!
why do you believe that bitcore is not decentralized? please provide data supporting your claim. Also, why do you say that it "pretends trying" to beat bitcoin? Speedwise, it does beat bitcoin. I've provided this link as support : https://www.weusecoins.com/what-is-bitcore/It's founder can manipulate the coin distribution and has been dumping his coins on your dumb asses. BTX will never become a legal way of payment. Why not? Because there is no more room for a random coin to make it's way to the top. There are dozens of useless coins trying to do the same thing. It's over. Bitcore's founders (there are three) pre-mined 16.2 million BTX in lieu of having an ICO. 8 million of those were distributed to BTX addresses created for all bitcoin holders at the moment of the blockchain snapshot (i.e. during the 'hybrid fork'). Bitcoin holders could then claim those coins by activating their BTX accounts. Of the remaining 8 million, 90 % of them were distributed in airdrops, while the founders (the development team) kept 10 % of them for future development. This means that the distribution of coins was more equal than that of previous bitcoin forks, specifically to support the concept of decentralization. This is described in sections 2.2 and 2.3 of the whitepaper which is here : https://bitcore.cc/white-paper/When i look at the "rich list" of BTX holders (click on the 'rich list' tab here : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btx/ ) , i see that the top 10 addresses contain roughly 12 % of the coins, the top 100 have 28 %, and the top 1000 have about 52 % . Given that the development team initially owned 5 % of all the coins (i.e. 10 % of the 8 million which where themselves 50 % of the total 16 million), and given the distributions demonstrated by the rich list, i don't see how the developers could materially affect the price of the coin even if they wanted to dump all of the ones they own. Have i missed something? please let me know if i am misinterpreting either the white paper or the rich list or both. thanks.

If listing on new exchanges is only thing that we can hope for price to go back than I think that we are in trouble. I mean its great to be listed everywhere and to have various wallets for BTX but there is no trade volume to support all that, and coin is already on 8 exchanges that are on cmc and no results!

another way to get the price up, I believe, is to increase the demand for the coin. To do that we can increase the use cases of the coin, for example by convincing merchants to accept btx as payments for online purchases. To do that, we can write software that would allow the merchants to easily plug in a payment solution to their website which could allow the merchant to not worry about fluctuating cryptocurrency prices. For example, I could imagine them adding something like a widget to the site. The merchant would specify his BTX account in the widget code. (maybe as a service the team or the author of the widget could set up his BTX account and do that for him). The widget would automatically display the price of the product in BTX such that it always synchronized with the current price - so say theres an item that costs 15 dollars; the widget would display 15 dollars worth of BTX at the moment when the user accessed the web page. The page would update every 30 seconds or so to always display the latest price. Once the user pays, those funds get transferred from the user's BTX account (so the user would have to have one) into the merchant's, and then the widget could automatically sell the BTX for dollars via a remote call to an exchange. The benefit to the merchant is that his fees would be much less compared to a credit card, and he wouldn't have to worry about charge-back fraud since the transaction is immutable. (for more benefits for a merchant, see here : https://bitcore.cc/official-q3-newletter-of-bitcore-2018/ ) . Currently GamesForCoins accepts BTX online ( https://www.games4coins.com/ ) - take a look at that screen. That's how I envisage the widget would look. I wonder if they are using their own code to interface with BTX. Ideally there would be a widget that would be reusable across web sites; it would just be configured for each merchant and product being sold. The problems then become how to convince users to want to BUY items in BTX. Maybe have some sort of discount associated with using crypto instead of either a credit card or paypal ?

That's much easier said than done! You want to convince merchants to accept btx as payments and if they look at btx price from beginning of this year with over 30$ and now 0.8$. How can you convince them that it wont drop 50% in price in one day?! Thats all good ideas but how would they chose btx over for example tether, which droped 1% in a year and thats a scandal!?

Secondly, today cryptocurrencies are not a means of payment in most countries. Therefore, it is not so easy to use Bitcore as a payment for goods and services. Law-abiding sellers will not agree to this.

Secondly, today cryptocurrencies are not a means of payment in most countries. Therefore, it is not so easy to use Bitcore as a payment for goods and services. Law-abiding sellers will not agree to this. yes, those are both legitimate issues. they are also issues which bitcoin itself faces. If bitcoin were to ever succeed, it would need to have solutions to these issues - and if it were successful with those solutions, then bitcore could also be successful using those same solutions. At that point, the efficiency that bitcore has over bitcoin should be able to give it an advantage - IF people know about it. that's one big advantage that BTC has over BTX - name recognition. with regards to the price fluctuation, the idea is that the widget would exchange the BTX as fast as possible to fiat for the merchant. so the concern with the price fluctuation is limited to the span of time between the moment that the buyer clicks on "buy with BTX" and the widget accepts the payment, processes it, makes calls to the exchange and converts to fiat - i.e. not the whole day. since BTX is over 40 times faster than BTC, it should be easier to convince a merchant that they would be less likely to be affected by price volatility with BTX compared with BTC, because BTX is faster than BTC and thus the window of opportunity in which there are price swings would be less. The merchant fee is also much lower than with BTC. it's good that we discuss these things and brainstorm - not that we are likely to come up with a solution, but discussing these things and throwing out possibly-wild ideas as solutions is the only way those solutions (if they exist) will be discovered. so far the two issues raised above are issues shared by all cryptocurrencies, except perhaps tether with regards to volatility. I don't know enough about tether to have an opinion on whether the advantages or disadvantages of that currency would be enough to make it a better choice for a merchant than BTX. if a merchant is not legally able to accept cryptocurrency in their country, then they should not use the widget. Is it possible I wonder for someone in a country that bans cryptocurrency to nevertheless attempt to spend cryptocurrency by going to the merchant's site, which is housed in a different country? it would seem that the buyers country should be able to block access to the site, or perhaps just block the portion of the site that accepts BTX. Another possibility is that the widget queries the user session (i.e. through the http headers) to determine whether the originating request came from a banned country, at which point it would not display itself. The merchant would need to have a secondary means of payment to display if this were the case; and the widget would need to be able to contact a 3rd party to get an updated list of countries that banned crypto, to determine if it should display. If it only did that though it would be very easy to get around that issue, since http headers can be easily spoofed to display whatever origin you like. But perhaps the widget could not be held accountable for spoofing attacks, as all websites are subject to those.

Another voting. When will you pay for listing from developers fund? How do you plan to distribute btx to BTC holders on binance, bitfinex, bithumb etc? Seems like you are waiting when major exchanges will add bitcore for free on its own, lol.
