blue sky idea - soft fork affecting future hard forks

the intent of this post is to ruminate on an idea conceived out the blue which may make no sense whatsoever, but which may give alternative ideas to those reading it.

what if it were possible to put out a soft fork which would enable the network to 'detect' future hybrid forks of itself and act in response? as an example, imagine this :

• goal is to prevent hybrid forks from generating two separate 'competing' coins
• soft fork is put out which contains new code C1-C4 which lies 'dormant', and new code C5 which is 'active'
• C5 somehow 'detects' when a future hybrid fork of itself occurs (even if the code in the fork has code C5 removed)
• If C5 'detects' the existence of a hybrid-forked-coin, it 'activates' code C1-C4
• C1-C4 copies the ledger from itself to the new hybrid-forked ledger, optionally executing a filter when doing so. As it does so, it marks its ledger entries as 'transferred'
• when all ledger entries are marked as 'transferred', the node somehow gets marked 'invalid'
• communication to 'invalid' nodes get redirected to 'valid' ones
• eventually all nodes in the pre-hybrid-fork network would be 'invalid'
• the pre-hybrid-fork network (that is, the 'old coin') then itself becomes invalid
• all communication to the pre-hybrid-fork network somehow get redirected to the new network

in other words, any new hybrid fork (which is a type of hard fork) which occurs will always become the "new" version of the coin, which would maintain it's ticker symbol, and all transactions which have gone through the alternate filter would be preserved in the "new" version of the coin, meaning everyone in the ledger would still have their funds.

again, the intent of this post is to stimulate alternate thought processes, not to claim that the above is even possible to do as currently outlined.

i noticed today that the main web site now distinguishes between exchanges for BTX and exchanges for BTX that are 'in maintenance' : https://bitcore.cc/resources/eco-system-2/  . So that might help a bit for what it is worth.

So deposits work but withdrawals don’t? 

Wow.  Just like Hotel California - you can check-in, but you can never leave.

The word was "there is no exchange to sell" and I referred to that. If you want to sell why do you need to withdraw it? Deposit it there and just sell! They are still trading with bch, bchabc and bcv and you cant withdraw bch and bsv!

Do you plan to resist asics or are you going to remove the mention of the fact that Timetravel10 has asic immunity. The community is interested in this question.

Bitcoreneeect!

Different algo, but good try at feeling better for being down 99%.   

BCH failed and Bitmain is prepairing to transfer to BTX? 

ASICS.

Litecoin fell for about 98% in 2015. Maybe btx can recover $ price in future, but there won't be any new ATH in btc pair for sure.

 This was the only Bitcoin fork I actually hodled.  Still have it.

almost all of this coins you mentioned were scam like bitconnect or abandoned projects or hype coin that used fake news and manipulating the price for a big pump til devs and big holders could sell their coins in high price and then left the coin like lbtc and zclassic i think.
so you telling us we should compare btx to scam and dead coins?
and i said I can't remember any coin That has been able to recover 99.5% loss. pls name us a coin that has been able to recover that


 

the statement "this is only coin that lost more than 99% of it's value in the last year" is not true.

to see this, go here :

https://athcoinindex.com/price/page/all

then wait patiently for the page to populate.  Then, on the left, change the "ATH date" filter to range from "0 minutes to 5 years" to "0 minutes to 1 year".  Then sort the "% from ATH" column descending.  You will note 2 things :

1. Bitcore is not in the list.  this looks like a bug, because the web page knows about bitcore because you can type it into the "search currencies" box, which then only displays the % from ATH drop over 5 years (not 1 year). but more revealing is :

2. somewhere between 20 % and 16 %  (1/5th and 1/6th) of all of the listed coins have a percent drop over the last year of 99 % or greater. (I got the 'between 20% and 16%' by eyeballing how far down I had to move the vertical scrollbar to hit a coin that was at 99 %).  when I page-up, the page scrolls by 20 coins.  how many times to I have to page up to reach the top? 27 times. So that's a minimum of 26 X 20 = 520 coins that all fit the 99 % drop criteria.  (I multiplied by 26 instead of 27 because that last page-up might have been less than 20 coins).

within those 520 coins i see that 11 coins that even had "at-the-high" prices that were higher than BTX's $48.42 dollars (which was on 11/16/17, slightly more than one year ago) :

coin name	high	current
iTicoin	$284.33	$2.54
Alphabit	$520.01	$3.53
Super Bitcoin	$362.28	$2.25
ZClassic	$248.73	$1.34
United Bitcoin	$428.17	$1.98
GoByte	$114.65	$0.44
Lightning Bitcoin	$1037.53	$2.56
Altcoin	$322.44	$0.58
Bitconnect	$509.99	$0.67
Bitcoin Atom	$484.62	$0.25
TerraNova	$2951.54	$0.02

these are in reverse order of percentage - so TerraNova had the highest percentage drop >= 99 %

you can use filters on the site to see the above list.  i've added a screenshot of how to do it on imgur :

I didn't say that anywhere, is that your conclusion 
BTX has never been marketed properly, so I would definitely not say the devs have marketing skills etc...
My conclusion is that the people who WERE there for those tasks failed big time and couldn't make anything work.


New people have joined the team to take these tasks upon them, I imagine they could only do a better job than the old bunch.

So, developers who stayed have dev skills, marketing skills, have big connections to important people and exchanges?
These marketing skills are most important, since this is only coin that lost more than 99% of it's value in last year. Baldrick from "Black Adder" would do better job.  

All the devs are still here, the unimportant people left (except steve).
The people who left had no dev skills, they had no marketing skills, no big connections to important exchanges or people, they joined later and quickly left, and basically couldn't get anything done.

Multiple team members have quit. About 3.5 to be exact.

is BTXM ready by the end of the year ?

I mean only the BTXM Part ^^ Telegram @Bitcore_Ivo

The btxm part is managed by Ivo
