For forks sake not another one. Think I will be giving this one a big swerve. I can't see what this one does any better than bitcoin. Will have to see what happens.

Be ready to see more in future. A fork itself is not bad basically, Bitcoin already showed us that it's the king lol. But if we see a fork every month of the year then there is something wrong. Look like it's the latest method to make free money using people. Another cover instead of the ICO etc perhaps.

Indeed fork coins are bullshit. Hardly any was able to maintain its price. But today everyone is doing fork. This raises a question on bitcoin credibility. We did see the recent BCH pump. This fight between BTC and its forked coins can be ugly for the Bitcoin market. These forks one after the other aren't really healthy. But the decentralized nature of bitcoin can't help in stopping these bullshit forks. I think this is getting too much now. Some miners mere for personal gains are executing baseless forks. Kinda fed up of them.

I don't need another bad fork. Bitcoin gold was bad enough. Its not good for the name bitcoin with all this forks and scams. Hope this is the last fork for the next time. I think, enough is enough...  Shocked
It's what I'm doing with most forked coins. I'm only leaving myself a bit for the rough times. If anything happens and somehow BTC dies and people turn to BCH (which is like 5% chance, but still it exists, we can't rule it out) I will be left with some money to buy booze and keep myself drunk for a couple weeks to forget that I sold it all at $1000 to buy more bitcoin Cheesy

This is really the best quote of the day. Smiley Cheesy Cant stop laugh about it....  "buy booze and keep myself drunk for a couple weeks" Wink Really good!  Cool I think that would be the best thing to do if it came to that. Smiley

Yes, it is for real. They look they even started mining.

The weird thing there's already another altcoin called Bitcoin Diamond: http://bitcoin-diamond.org/
There's even an investment company with the same name: https://bitcoindiamond.org/

First one is a ponzi scheme, they don't even hide it:

Haha waiting eagerly for bitcoin silver, bronze, iron, steel, mercury, plastic or who knows paper? These are just some shit forks done by anyone around the world. Unless any fork doesn't gets support from the core team that is actually not a fork just another shit coin.

Check the altcoin section , probably we have them already Smiley


What is actually getting me angry is that with this load of forks there are going to be a lot of coins that will be used just to steal your BTC once you import your keys in their "official" wallet.
Always when you do this after the fork make sure you have moved your coins from that address in a new one on the original chain.

It seems to me that there are malicious forks and benign forks. Malicious forks try to hijack the Bitcoin blockchain, and are obviously destructive. Benign forks use the Bitcoin blockchain to jumpstart a new alt, and are unlikely to have any impact on the real blockchain. It seems that a benign fork is just a giveaway to Bitcoin users, and they are likely to benefit Bitcoin as long as they don't pretend to be the real Bitcoin, or to ask for a cash investment.

I think all these forks and splits can only lead to uncertainty and confusion, specially among new investors.
But it's free market, there's no regulation and anyone can fork Bitcoin code, make as many altcoins as he wants and maybe even profit from it. If we like and want free unregulated market, we should accept pros and cons of it...

Not to get too corporate...but, it seems that bitcoin btc should almost have a copyright or tm on that name, so that others don't keep trying to rip it off and confuse the public. What if Sprite decided to call itself Coke Clear or some shit?

I would ignore it if I were you. WTF is really happening now with all this fork? They are really all for the money and they don't care about the technology anymore. Its just a shame that people will stay fall from this kind of trap like what happened to bitcoin gold.

I'm guessing that the failed attempt by bitcoin cash two weeks ago, they think of another fork and try one more time to really down the market again. But they still don't get it, people are going to stick to bitcoin no matter what and no coins could surpass it in the next 10 years or more.

Yet another bitcoin hard-fork/chain-split with horrible idea and no support, probably best to ignore since the coin value will be very slow, could die quickly and hacker will try to steal our bitcoin private key by offer wallet for specific bitcoin hard-fork/chain-split Roll Eyes

I just checked their website. The ONLY thing this blockchain provides above and beyond Bitcoin's blockchain is an 8mb block size. That's significantly larger than Bitcoin.

But why should we expect this hard fork to work? There are have already been several attempts to scale Bitcoin's block size, and all have failed to bring down Bitcoin.

These feels like a shameless attempt to create an ICO by using the brand recognition and success of Bitcoin.

If anyone from the BTCD team is out here, it's time to start proving your worth to us. Otherwise, stop wasting our time!

why do you even care about forks? Bitcoin have been forked since day 1. The only difference is that those people that are forking now, invest a huge amount of money in PR, and let you people think they are doing something good. Ignore the forks. It's just a piece of bull....

Just ignore it, at the end of the day, the majority will support bitcoin and the rest will die or become alt. Anyone with some knowledge can fork bitcoin so a lot of fork is bound to happen, the difference is the amount of supporter behind the fork. Bitcoin will remain the number one of cryptocurrency.

The focus of the coin is on privacy, fast transaction time and cheaper transaction costs. More information can be found on their website at: http://www.btcd.io/​

How can I claim my Bitcoin Diamond
When the fork happens, simply make sure you have the BTC in your QoinPro Bitcoin wallet before block #495,866 (November 25). You don't have to do anything else, we will automatically credit your BCD wallet after the fork, on November 25.
 
If you have 2.7 Bitcoin before the fork, you will have 2.7 Bitcoin and 2.7 Bitcoin Diamond after the fork.
 
When can I withdraw my BTC and BCD?
Withdrawing Bitcoin will be possible from 1 day after the fork (~November 26, 2017), Bitcoin Diamond can be withdrawn as soon as the BCD team has released a wallet with replay protection.

Wait for the next fork there will be a bitcoin copper like really they are running out for ideas and some people tend to invest to this such coin btc have a lots of forks last years so this is normal event for btc, we can't complain because we can get money without doing anything just by owning the private key added that you own a lots of btc like thousands of it you will surely rich on heaven, some of them are beneficial to the original, some disappeared out of thin air and some wants to dominate and claim that they are the true bitcoin.

It seems Bitcoin Diamond has relation to Bitcoin because it share Bitcoin exact history up to block #495,866:
arent all fork like that ?

Sure, but it mean forks have relevance to Bitcoin. I sometimes read these forks just steal Bitcoin name, but with shared Bitcoin exact history, the name like Bitcoin Diamond is fair.


But at the end what matter is user support, so while Im very sceptical about Bitcoin Diamond, lets see what happens - privacy and fast transaction time might be usefull afterall.
yeah that all this fork about, but can forked coin replace the original coin ?

I dont think its about replacing Bitcoin, but about delivery something which Bitcoin cannot. For example I found Bitcoin usefull as speculative investment only and Bitcoin Cash for actual usage. Maybe this one can deliver privacy, so while Im very sceptical about Bitcoin Diamond now, Im open minded.

Anybody can clone/fork bitcoin so it is quite normal to see 100s of fork every year, some of them will get listed in exchange platforms others dies within few weeks.

All this clones are just trying to market their coin in the name of bitcoin and claim their coin is better than bitcoin.  Grin Grin

There are forks every day, probably hourly in the past couple weeks. The only thing that gives credence to this shitty forks is the amount of supporters. I mean whether it's bitcoin gold, or bitcoin pink or w/e, it's all about how much fuss there is around it. If we stop giving these diarrhea-coins any importance, they will go away. 

I hope you are right. But many people hear the word "bitcoin" gold, pink and whatever and they think they can make money from it. In any case, the whole forks get no more attention from me.  Wink
