Bitcoin Silver: December hard fork

[DaddyMonsi]

Bring it on, every time there is a hard fork price of Bitcoin goes up and if this is indeed scheduled December then to those who speculated that Bitcoin will reach $10,000 by end of this year then you may have won the bet. Altcoins are the one heavily suffering from this hard fork and this help Bitcoin gain its strength. I wonder if they are doing this in purpose to pump the price of Bitcoin and slay the Altcoins.

Thanks for info. Until now, nothing could stop Bitcoin. If they want, they can create thousands of clones. I will grab and dump them all. But: Bitcoin silver is LITECOIN !!!

That is really interesting .  I didn't think about it. In this way, they push Bitcoin. You are right.

forks only mean that bitcoin is gaining popularity - or should i say bitcoin is very popular now... noobs have different opinions about forks, i had actually have this conversation with a bitcoin noob and confidently told me that he had received bitcoin cash because of his loyalty to bitcoins. 

anyway, i'm always looking forward to forks and just keep the coins in my hard wallet, so in the future whichever becomes the most expensive among those bitcoins i have the same amount in my wallet.

Hahahahahaha their slogan should be "and you thought bitcoin gold was a joke? Try bitcoin silver." Next to come is pewter, brass and copper. These stupid forks just keep getting shittier and shittier. Do they even have a reason to fork at this point? What are they against!?!?

We should have the whole period table for bitcoin!

[tyuner4]

Another fork? It doesn’t matter since we will be seeing BTC price rise in every fork and getting the free coin anyway. IMO, Altcoins are the one suffering.

[ladydark]

Yet another hard fork announcement with the same logo,making bitcoin decentralized truly.
Bitcoin is already decentralized since china totally losing its control over bitcoin market.
The only remaining issue is majority of mining farms located in china.
Taking this in to advantage,now more people have started to try to hard fork bitcoin.
It seems that soon we could expect bitcoin platinum,bitcoin bronze,bitcoin copper in the upcoming months.
Bitcoin would continue to exist but these hard forks would definitely spoil the reputation of bitcoin.

I don't understand why you guys are complaining about it (unless you are holding tons of Ethereum). All these clones (including Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, and Bitcoin Silver) are giving out free coins to the existing Bitcoin users. We never received any such airdrops from the ETH developers. So it is a good thing that ETH/XRP is going down and BTC and its clones are going up.

[Scorpion]

Just as I did with Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and will do for 2x, I will just sell my hardforked coins and buy up more Bitcoin. Hardforks and attacks make Bitcoin stronger over time. It's like building up a immunity to disease.

[Slow death]

look much better than segwit2x which I think is just hijack attempt

Do you have any reference regarding the fork that I can read? I want to fully understand how does it work and the purpose of it. Thanks.

I hope it's not true, too many fork in a very short time
Let the previous fork develop atleast
But by looking at the thread of Bitcoin Silver it might be just a joke

[Kingofbitcoin12345]

Bitcoin silver that’s a catchy name actually.. I will make my fork in my kitchen the same name.. It’s become funnier every time a fork is taking into like an every month event.. I will not be surprised for a Bitcoin Diamond fork next year.. Let’s support this one,, there slogan looks promising “Fork fork fork”.. Sorry for being rude and I don’t support this kind of things and I hope it would be stopped the soonest..

[frowsiter]

This is like creating new shitcoin for the sake of earring money when they are ran out of it. This commuity getting big laugh now, I don’t understand in what way these developers really think and whats the use of new currency if we already have plenty of them to mine and earn.


What kind of new mining hardware and opportunities they are speaking about ? Is there a really need of that? I mean this is just game of earning money by introducing new coin and for that they will obviously need new miners. They will publish themselves and will get money for it. All the greed nothing much.


The forks are good only if they help the blockchain and bitcoin to grow in proper way and in technical way. Otherwise its all waste and nothing much.

[Turkish88]

Soon, very soon the hard forks age will ended. BTG have less profit for comunity then BCC. This tendation will be gain, on each next hard fork and peoples at one point they will understand that there is nothing good in this forks

That it's true until now no one can stop the bitcoin to pump and pump even the last time fork it's useless after its launched the price are going down
Believe me after this Hard fork the price of bitcoin will became high again so just hold and hold see the result after this bitcoin silver launched.

[sofakingporkhunt]

I am hoping these forks will become obsolete and users will stop supporting them, they are ruining the market.

[Hamzat]

So much forks this days, thus making one to benefit from holding onto btc in one's wallet as they all claimed to solve one problem or the other but Bitcoin still dominates
Anyway am waiting to have my share of it since they want to give us free money

[HonestSurfer]

Yeah true, at least they're starting with a 140gb blockchain. I wish them good luck with that freaking mess. I wonder if they will have a wallet or if they'll be like bitcoin gold and never get off the ground haha.

Gold and silver go hand in hand lol. So wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin Silver also ends up like bitcoin gold. These hard forks are essentially just an way of the developers to gain popularity for their shitcoins. If they developed an altcoin like others they won't get much popularity, but with so called 'forking' from BTC, they get to use the word 'bitcoin' and gain extra popularity

Yeah I think thats a good point. Piggy-backing on an a "notable" cryptocurrency network gives hard-forkers an advantage in terms of existing users and brand awareness. But these are marketing reasons.

I actually asked this question in another thread, but still:

My question is, from a technology perspective, why do these projects need to fork the bitcoin blockchain and why dont they just start a new one, with their own consensus and other rules? What is the technological benefit in staying on / forking the bitcoin blockchain?

If there is absolutely none, then this is just "stealing" the brand name.

But on the other hand, how would the initial/core/true team actually ever improve the technological parameters when they wished so? Would they need to always start a new chain and forks would (should) not exist?

[Delicat]

its about time people being numb about all these forks. soon it will just gone like all those clones. let's hope it wont bring negative impact to the btc and crypto in the long term.

[oegarod]

The core is always the base or the lead, something getting into existence from the main chain at any point won't claim it to be the bitcoin. It will always serve as an altcoin with little more popularity than the other altcoins that gets developed on some other platforms such as Eth smart contracts or the waves platform.

Bitcoin Silver Wants to ‘Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again’ Amid More 2x Rejections

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-silver-wants-to-make-bitcoin-decentralized-again-amid-more-2x-rejections

As more cryptocurrency exchanges drop support for SegWit2x, yet another fork may soon grace the industry in the form of Bitcoin Silver.

Coming less than a day after Bitcoin Gold forked from the BTC Blockchain, Bitcoin Silver’s developers wrote on the Bitcointalk forum they intend to “make Bitcoin decentralized again.”

Their description reads:

“...Bitcoin Silver will provide an opportunity for countless new people around the world to participate in the mining process with widely-available consumer hardware that is manufactured and distributed by reputable mainstream corporations.”

While no technical details are currently available, Bitcoin Silver will follow Bitcoin Cash-style distribution methods and be available to BTC private key holders in December. The exact block the fork will occur at remains undetermined.

I had seen something like this in the past and I just wished it away thinking its was just a joke till I clicked the link and found out that there is even a thread on the forum gathering momentum gradually even up to the 12th page. But seriously, we need to stop this confusion because just getting boring and tiring all together.

This will be like the 4th fork or so within a period of how many months. If this is allowed to continue, then there won't be any new project to be developed again because you can just create a new bitcoin. Now that we have Gold and Silver, the next will be Bitcoin diamond, bitcoin platinum, etc. This is a joke.
