What The Fork Is Going On!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Ever since China banned ICOs and ICOs are really shunned here in the USA in terms of investing there seems to be a new trend that is plague bitcoin and a few other popular coins. These are forks or otherwise called air drops where a coin splits off of the chain claiming it is better then the original. However all of these forks so far have proven to be rather blah and have errors in their code etc.

Whats in store for us over the next two weeks?

Complete craziness when it comes to hard forks (airdrops) here is what to expect and what could come...

Super Bitcoin - Block 498,888 or around December 16th/17th ratio 1:1

Bitcoin Diamond - No real details I can find on this one as support is so low I have yet to know the status of the code or when it will fork

Bitcoin Cash Plus - Yup Bitcoin cash has its issues (glad it did not take over bitcoin as some where hopping) Thus we move to Bitcoin Cash Plus at block 501,407 or around January 2nd 2018

Segwit2x - another attempt by a small group of people will try and fork segwit2x yet again coming at block 505,000 or around Jan. 28th 2018

Ethereum Classic - Is getting an update on December 12th but no fork is expected just updates to the core block

Other forks - Yes other forks are in the works and rumors are spreading.

The real question is where can I put my bitcoin to claim the rewards of all of these forks? The answer Honestly I havn't gotten a clue yet and some risk does seem to be involved when doing so.

Sort:  

A trustworthy fork service is definitely missing in the market but i guess difficult to realise. I am very scared to get the forked coins out of my BTC, another reason to just HODL... :-)

I am ready for the Fork

its not in our hands , whether you are ready or not

This forks is just a money grab in my opinion, no real value

Now we have ICOs and Forks ughh people sure like to find ways to destroy good things and really take advantage instead of helping

Is all about the money, but we still have good people trying to do the right thing, and profit and doing well is possible, people just want quick cash

i agree with u...

on what grounds can you say that ?

Wow, I'm going to have so many different dividend coins hehe. I think it's good, competition always brings out the best in people and software

Bitcoin diamond I guess it forked a week ago, they say successfully. I am unable to find much support too about it...

its still under process , wait for few weeks

free coins!! love forks :)

Been meaning to ask you for a while - I think you had mentioned software to split a BTC (qt) wallet into BCH - Could you send me a link for that?

Thanks a lot, for discussion about fork. It seems that it only occupies the market money.

I find it hard to put a lot of faith in these forks but time will tell. this post has been deemed resteem & upvote worthy by your friendly @eastcoaststeem ran by @chelsea88 (not a bot)
