In BTCz we trust. Organic slow growth.

Coin like this already exist and it's called BitcoinZ , community-driver coin, without premine, without dev fee, equihash.

Yes but BTCZ is a community driven market with dedicated dev team and Democratic voting system on new projects to be implemented.

ZCL started great but ended up with devs jumping ship to create a new coin BTCP out of thin air that brings nothing to the table but pump and dump for the original ZCL. Remember ZCL is huge with pumps it recently went from $1.50 in Dev to $150 in Feb. So definitely in the pumped category.

Value doesn't just get created out of thin air. If that was the case, we could have created 1000 forks of ZCL and become billionaires overnight. Nope. Not gonna happen. Eventually the base coin and the fork will have the same total sum of market cap as if they haf without the forks, for example if BCH didn't exist BTC would have been worth 13% more today, at least that's my theory and its impossible to prove or deny.

21 BILLION supply. Nobody wants that crap. BTCZ had a lot of potential, until they decided to do 21 billion instead of 21 million.

That comment is golden. You should be saying that on reddit! People are just too nice here.

You just called BTCZ the best coin ever as that is all you could come up with.

We get how the ZCL wallet works for the fork and has been documented. What I'm not clear on is the BTC side of things. If you have an Electrum wallet with BTC, there will be a snapshot - then export private keys to where, when? I've read there will be a step by step posted. I'm sure others would like to understand this side as well as myself.

Thanks

in which block will the fork happen?

This is a $1M secret. A ZCL price will tell you a few blocks before

Though there is still one more week for fork to take place but time is approaching past to bring some twist in this fork by announcing names of exchanges. I hope this time yobit will not presented as only exchange from known. If there is no big exchange it will fail before even starting. That is important how some forked coin starts.

It says on page 3 of BTCP whitepaper, in table 1, that the total supply for BTCP will be 21 millions and NOT 21 billions. Its very important because people are buying/mining knowing that 1 ZCL was ~100 USD before the fork pump. We are expecting a 1:1 parity to ZCL meaning roughly 100 USD/BTCP(or around 50 USD to 150 USD/BTCP).

If the supply were to be 1000 times greater that will be 100 USD/1000 => 0.1 USD/BTCP.

To summarize: I dont think that the total supply will be greater than 21 Millions. If it were so, both BTCP and ZCL will loose any thrust and become garbage.

Marketcap is an extremely flawed way to look at things.

Having a giant supply of coins is an easy way to manipulate the flawed coinmarketcap. Let's say I create a coin and have 200 million coins outstanding. I sell one coin for $100. Now I have a $20 billion market cap. That doesn't mean I have a market for my 200 million coins. There may only be one person in the world willing to pay $100 for my coin. (my mom and she doesn't have $20 billion to buy the rest of my coins)

As far as Bitcoin Private... They're forbidden to announce exchange support early. It's a legal issue. They've spoken about it in length at every single meetup they've done as it is a very common question they get. I don't know exactly how far in advance but we will know which exchanges are supporting it. Probably 48 hours or so in advance. You can safely assume that several will be supporting it as they are taking 50% of the donation mining pool and investing in exchange support. That's 8812 ZCL so far... plenty to pay exchanges to list it.

Remember the snapshot happens on the 28th but the coin doesn't officially launch until 2 days later.

really, no one is gonna point out how wrong this comment is? Ripple is number 3 in market cap with almost 40 billion coins. . .
edit: and for when you make some excuse for ripple, ada is #6 with over 25 billion coins..

I would, but he obv has no clue and I don't have time to argue on the Internet with random guy. Too old for this sh*t!

Market cap is important, not total supply.

An absence of supply increases value and overall market cap. Investing 101.

You want a small float (outstanding shares) and high market cap. They go hand in hand.

Looking forward to BTCP, I am holding ZCL and think this is a fork with serious potential. It would be nice if there were future development plans for ZCL post-fork, to prevent imminent dumping of coin.

What happens to ZCL after the fork?

ZClassic will still exist. The community has discussed keeping ZCL in active development after the fork. We think this is great and fully support this.

Only one week left. And we still do not know of any exchanges that will support the fork.

Why do you need an exchange to support it before the fork? Just download the https://github.com/BTCP-community/electrum-zcl/releases wallet and import your ZCL address after the fork. Eventually exchanges will offer BTCP/BTC trading pairs after the fork.

So why do we need Bitcoin Private hardfork? We already have ZCL, which is the fork of ZEC without devs commision, which is the fork of BTC with zk-Snarks? ZCL can rebrand its name to BTCP easily without that airdrop. So we need the airdrop, but why? To get more holders, liquidity, hype. So thats why we want more exchanges support.

It's all about the hype and reputation theft of the real Bitcoin. And as I said a few pages ago it is very dangerous to invest large amounts of money into ZCL just to get BTCP. It might dump extremely hard even before the snapshot. Take care everyone and don't be too greedy!

Caution!

The recently listed BTCP on Forkdelta is not Bitcoin Private

Hello!

I'm a BTCP enthusiast and I'm part of a group of italian guys that have founded the first place in Rome in which people talk about blockchain. We 're also creating a website that will be (we hope) the italian wikipedia for criptocurrency.
We want to share with our community the importance of your project, but we need to show the translated whitepaper: question is, are you interested in italian translation of WP?

This is our portfolio: http://bit.ly/2EIF9Pb
