Topic: My list of 44(+1) reviewed Bitcoin forks (Read 19187 times)

johnsmithx thanks for your work on this. Fantastic post.

Now to figure out which coins can actually be deposited on exchange. Some of them (BitcoinX, Bitcoin File) actually have a value on exchanges that trade them, but they won't let you deposit.

I updated the status for each fork, added example nodes and pruned their blockchains up to the given fork block so that we can see the sizes of the actual post-fork blockchains.

Ohh man, a huge amount of work have been done, I couldn't even image how much time it were to sync all the blockchains

I updated my list of forks. A few of them apparently gave up, we got a few new ones (BCH's), nearly all of the forks have zero or next to zero value.

I can't sync my BitcoinGOD wallet... I need some working nodes... could you help me with a list of working nodes?

Wow, i had no idea that there were so many forks of Bitcoin. However, except for Bitcoin Cash and maybe Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Core,most other forks are almost useless.

Good list, thank you. I was interested. BTC2. I have a certain amount of this coin, because I participated in a recent ICO with the aim of promoting its fame. Found some useful information. In addition, it looks like this coin will soon appear on Kucoin.

is https://forkdrop.io what you are looking for?

You just literally copy&pasted a half-year-old post of somebody else presenting it as your own. Faking your posts count?

This is a very complete list of Bitcoin Forks. I think investors need this information in order to find out about the coin that gets bitcoin forks. Always research carefully before investing is the right thing to do in a time when the cryptocurrency market is having a lot of trouble, be careful not to overdo it.

About Bitcoin Gold, I won't say that this fork doesn't have a big trust for the people of the crypto world. Because not so long time when XAPO made automatical exchange BTG to BTC. This fact means that the future of this token is not successfully. But thank's to the author of such full list of the last forks.

Very good compilation. Most of the forks will end up dead if they are not already there. Forks only make sense if you can really throw hashing power behind it.

Thanks very much for this point of situation to control all bitcoin fork ... btcdiv.com is a good site to monitor this fork ... but there are other website to monitor this? We can make a list of fork monitor of bitcoin and major altcoin? Thanks

Excellent about LBTC, I was wondering how much longer was the LBTC team going to violate the license, and excellent about your list, I will see if there is any noteworthy fork I am missing. Thank you!

EDIT: haven't found any noteworthy fork with the source code. To me your list would be great if it also grouped forks based on whether they published the source code or not.


Please do not quote the whole OP, you are making this topic very difficult to read for all the other people.

I can not understand why so many forks? Previously, I thought that the fork bitcoin is no more than 12 - 15, but now I read this article and was surprised.

Great info on running node software. Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC) recently released their source so that can be updated here: https://github.com/lbtcio/lbtc-core

This is not necessarily the same criteria as this list, but we put together a list of bitcoin forks from our dataset with a breakdown by category to help clear up some confusion that is out there:

https://forkdrop.io/how-many-bitcoin-forks-are-there

Of course, our main page and the per-coin page have a bunch of additional details on each coin.

Bitcoin Cash Plus is not a fork of Bitcoin Cash, read the list again. Furthermore, IP addresses of Bitcoin Cash Plus nodes would be useless to you now as there is no new block for several weeks now, read the list again.

pls send my ip address for nodes of Bitcoin Cash Plus. Thanks

Full nodes of 20 Bitcoin forks + 1 fork of Bitcoin Cash + the original Bitcoin + BitCore + Monero, all running at the same time on the same little computer.

great list! i did not know that there are so many bitcoin forks. i think most of the forks have certainly been made to earn quick money.

My list of Bitcoin forks is fully updated now: 44 Bitcoin forks + 1 Bitcoin Cash fork. Enjoy

I really don't know what's cause the problem of the blockchain particularly on bitcoin blocks. Are there will be problem in the future if it's continues to fork? or it's a good source of circulating supply of bitcoin. PLease give us truth information.

Hi everybody, I finally updated and improved my list of (currently) 34 reviewed Bitcoin forks. Once I finish testing of CDY I will go through and incorporate all the missing forks that have been suggested here.

We have launched the newest Bitcoin Fork.
could u please review and add our coin to your list

Found a nice site with bitcoin forks, there are so much forks crazy

http://www.bitcoinforks.co/

I read somewhere that this year there will be about a hundred forks. Every few days there will be a bitcoin fork. I see that this topic has not even become very interesting lately, because despite their huge number, which are being held now and will be held in the near future, the forum writes very little about it. I remember how much noise there was about the fork bitkoin cash before the first of August, and now they are held dozens and relative silence.
     I'm already quite calmly looking at these forks. Maybe among all this garbage is something worthwhile and it will in general benefit the Crypto-currency.

Crazy times we live in 

Bitcoin fork will come again this 12th of February and this is a good help for the bitcoin to recover the price in the market.
but still i dont get it why there are so many FOrk and this is just making whales much bigger. i hope the next fork will not a 1:1 with bitcoin but with wallets
so every one can enjoy the FORK.

To my happiness or vice versa to my regret, I generally do not like these forks and do not understand their meaning. After all, there is an original bitcoin, which is almost perfect. Why do we need something else?

Thanks, added.

Bitcoin 2, a 1:1 BTC fork in development can be added to the list of Bitcoin forks. Proof of Stake, Anonymous (Zerocoin), Instant TX through masternodes.

Bitcoin talk thread

I think this market decline and the bifurcation of bitcoin are not unrelated, this behavior has seriously affected the credibility and value of bitcoin.

As the title of this topic implies this is my list of Bitcoin forks, meaning I created and try to maintain this list for myself and for each fork I collect only such information that I need. Since I have no interest in trading there is no info regarding the exchanges. The additions you are asking for would surely help but it is beyond my scope of interest. If you do your own research and spend your own time on assembling the information I will be more than happy to add it to the OP.

There are so many fork that bitcoin did and will do this time.
I dont think it will take people attention like bitcoincash fork.
Bitcoin fork now is not interest anymore because the goal is not to solve bitcoin problem but more like raise money from new fork coin.
Crazy i think

It will help if you add to the description of the coin, what exchanges are supporting deposit and trade.
and a link where is explained how to get the coin.

I got register in zb.com to deposit and trade with BTP and BTN.
same with btctrade.im for BTW and BTF.
same with okex for SBTC and BCD.
the coins can be obtained with bitpie app trough bither app

Thanks, added to the Honorable mentions section.

Today midnight everybody can grab free BTCH. We will got next Bitcoin fork: HUSH / BTC -> Bitcoin HUSH. Everybody who will have HUSH in a wallet (with a private key export option available) can grab free BTCH today.
More info at official BTCH website: http://btchush.org/

You can buy HUSH at Cryptopia, don't forget to transfer HUSH from Cryptopia into your own wallet before midnight!
You can download the wallet here, at the bottom of the website: https://myhush.org/

In 2018 Bitcoin expects as many as 50 forks, is a lot. It turns out 4 plugs in a month. If at least some of them will shoot as Bitcoin money, Bitcoin or gold, you can make good money on them. Maybe the forks will push even the ICO because they are much easier to implement

A very informative, enlightening, and comprehensive list.  Thanks for providing this to the community; it will be most helpful.

I think they confuse people for this matters, they created a lot of forks so investors will buy those replicated bitcoin a sh*t coin that has no real value. but i think they have purpose in the long run if bitcoin will burst then some investors will buy bitcoin hardfork.

Anyone who is willing to give all his coins to a random anonymous individual and expect that the said individual will return the coins should go see a psychiatrist asap.

This is a very complete list of Bitcoin Forks. I think investors need this information in order to find out about the coin that gets bitcoin forks. Always research carefully before investing is the right thing to do in a time when the cryptocurrency market is having a lot of trouble, be careful not to overdo it.

This was a lot more than I had thought, is this really necessary to have all these forks that do nothing.

Absolutely not "some maybe", you just proved beyond any doubt whatsoever that if you are not a total retard then you are intentionally and willfully lying. And of course it's pointless to ever respond or react in any way, shape or form to retards or scammers. But I will bother a bit anyway, just to ridicule you even further because you don't deserve anything better given your filthy attitude.

If you or that other imbecile knew anything about Bitcoin software, anything at all, you would have known that it's one single software that contains everything in it - the network logic, the consensus rules, the node daemon, the wallet, a command line client for rpc and most of all that is then duplicated into one monolithic gui binary. So it's virtually impossible to clone the original Bitcoin software, have the cloned network functional and running and not have a wallet. It's one and the same software.

Furthermore, if you or that other imbecile knew anything about the license used, anything at all, you would have known that it would be a violation of the license to publish the binaries without the source code. Now I won't even venture into contemplating whether you or that other imbecile could possibly have any legal awareness because of course you don't, but if you did then you would know that a license violation is a copyright infringement and that is a criminal offense in most jurisdictions anywhere in the world.

So not only most of the forks that already happened and are functional and running (I say "most" only as a precaution, I am not aware of one single exception) do have wallets (they cannot not have wallets!), but they also do have the source code published so even if they also published the binaries (which I wouldn't recommend to blindly download and use, we all know what happened to BTG) anybody can compile the source code and produce their own binaries, which naturally include the wallet because the wallet feature is inseparable from the rest of the software.


If you or that other imbecile knew anything about Bitcoin forks, anything at all, you would know that what such a fork really comes down to is a copy&paste of the original source code with a few more or less minor changes. That's it. So how can a software that's more than 99% the same as the original and any other fork, a software that has vast majority of all the features identical, not have a very similar website "with all the same stuff"? Only a total retard couldn't possibly understand that.


To that I can only voice an obvious observation, that is you are just a pathetic racist piece of shit. And welcome to my ignore list.

Some maybe, not "most". And what he's saying is right, in that it's the same website template, with all the same stuff, slightly tweaked...  And they are made by chinese.

See the similarities in the templates:

....roadmap, team, features, our team, etc etc etc, and a huge list of wallets and exchanges there, which don't even support these coins

Bloomberg thinks there will be another 50 bitcoin forks this year:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-23/bitcoin-may-split-50-times-in-2018-as-forking-craze-accelerates

Thanks for the information, I knew there was a lot of forks but didn't think there was that many of them! The bitcoin forks are getting way out of hand.

Thanks for this list. I appreciate you sharing your hard work.

I've been using btcdiv.com/# for a list. It has exchange prices listed for the forked coins that are on exchanges.



Here's my 2 cents for anyone looking for an easy button to store offline (some of) these forked coins.
Coinomi and Bither wallets can be loaded on an old or cheap Android phone.
Download the .apk and install using a USB cable and the android SDK on your (factory reset) phone that you will never connect to the internet.

Coinomi has file hashes posted for verification of download, Bither, not so much, but I sent them an email to see of it was a possibility to post file hashes with the download.
Bither has a cool QR code interface between the online and offline wallets.

***EDIT*** Bither won't let you STORE the forked coins, but send them to a Bitpie wallet that can generate the forked coin addresses. Bitpie, does not have an offline option (sigh).

If you want to sweep private keys for forked coins using the online version of these, it's an option, but you technically compromise the whole BTC wallet they came from.
So, OBVIOUSLY you'll want to use best practices for moving the BTC first and handling your private keys.

Anyone else have easy button options for offline storage or claiming forked coins?

In fact what you are saying is nonsense. Most of the forks that already happened do have wallets, do have the source code, are fully working and functional. Some of them are already being traded on various exchanges and have deposits and withdrawals enabled. You should first educate yourself on the subject before you ridicule yourself by saying such an uneducated nonsense.

This is all nonesense. Only bitcoincash bitcoingold and maybe one or two others gave you anything. The rest are filthy lies and tricks to get people to make mistakes when they claim their so called "free" coin. Most of these coins have no wallet so there is nowhere to import your privatekey.


The price is decent but you can't claim anything. It is a scam. They all claim the same thing and even their websites looked the same. They all say they will have their own wallet "soon". That means nothing.

But if their price is decent you can just sell them immediately to get free money.

Great thread.

Some of those forks actually do have a value. Who said trading is the only way to increase your bitcoins? Holding alone gives you free bitcoins with zero risk!

Thanks mate, I actually came here to ask if anyone has the list of Bitcoin forks  Couldn't imagine there are 33

How will you kill the other forks?

Bitcore is not a fork, it is a complete new coin with a new blockchain. No old burden from Bitcoin carried over at all. They just gave an initial share to all existing Bitcoin holders and now pay a weekly dividend to BTX holders.

I think that only the usual standard bitcoin, as well as segwit 2x, have the right to life.

Is there some wallet around that collects all the BTC forks? Some "Super-QT" or some such?

The website states they actually use Bitcoin Cash node software so I don't really see how this Bitcoin Clashic could possibly differ from Bitcoin Cash.


Your Bitcoin private keys give you access to your coins on any and all Bitcoin forks, you don't have to do anything to "collect" them, you either already own them or you don't.


Thanks, I added BTX, XLM and GBYTE into a new "Honorable mentions" section.

These forks are hilarious,getting these forks is insane,i wonder what these BTC developers  will do to these forked coins?to gain profits?
Well for me,these forkes arent really needed,because these doesnt resolved bitcoin's shortcomings ,as well as improvements doesnt make sense to our community.

The most promising Bitcoin fork( hybrid ) is Bitcore (BTX)

ROFL. Great stuff . Something for everybody included, no matter if you can read, write, both or none of it 

I'm certainly very interesting situation with the people who actually collects these forks of bitcoin, I have one question, do you really think that they will be able to take their place among all this chaos of coins that is already present on the market today? Do you really think so?

Missing satoshi's true vision there: bitcoin clashic. http://bitcoinclashic.org/


What are they good for? Easy. Increasing the number of bitcoins people have. Make sure to wait for the inevitable pump first before selling.

holly cow, newer thought  that bitcoin has so many forks

Of all these forks I am only interested in those that have published the source code (which should be everyone but isn't). I briefly review it, look at the changes they have made to see whether they leak my private keys and it also gives me some idea about what level of invention to expect from those developers (some code is really written horribly), then I compile it, fully sync the blockchain and run it. If you see a mention "seems to be working, seeing xxx nodes" that means I am actually running the node.

As for the private keys leak issue, in my case it's actually impossible anyway because I don't import my private keys, I simply reuse my Bitcoin wallet.dat where all the private keys are encrypted so there is nothing to leak. Only if I actually tried to make a transaction then the given private key would get decrypted and in danger but I have no desire to do that in any foreseeable future.

Which fork is worth pursuing that's a million dollar question, literally. It all comes down to how many bitcoins you have. Most people here have only a marginal amount so these forks are worthless to them, the whole world of cryptocurrencies is just a game to them. But if you have at least hundreds of bitcoins - worth of millions of dollars - then even the stupidest fork that is at 1% value right now is worth tens of thousands dollars, more than most people make in a whole year. That is if you wanted to sell it right now, which would be very unwise in my opinion as it's much better to miss this small immediate profit and see the fork vanish in the future than to sell for small profit now and then in the future watch in horror how the fork goes up and possibly even at the expense of the original bitcoin. If I keep the same amount of each fork coins as I have bitcoins then it doesn't matter to me which fork goes up, which goes down, how much they suck money from the original bitcoin, my cumulative balance is worth the same. But of course anyone is free to think and do whatever they want.

Another question is what does "pursuing a fork" actually mean. The safest (and in my opinion the best) thing to do regarding any fork is to do absolutely nothing, just ignore it. That way if the fork proves itself in the future you can always get back to it and start using your fork coins in some way. The only reason why I am running all those fork nodes is that I want to have an instant access to my fork coins, but I am not actually using those nodes in any way, nor making any transactions.

It's also worth noting that a possible success of the fork doesn't entirely depend of its actual quality but also on the timing (first-mover advantage). Compared to all the other forks BCH brings the least amount of innovation and yet its market capitalization far exceeds all the other forks combined simply because it was the very first fork. Also there is a noticeable decadence in the culture, so to speak. Remember the original Jeff Garzik's segwit2x fork that the authors cancelled out of fear of fragmenting the Bitcoin community? Then BTG came and over 20 other new forks were announced (including the segwit2x fork that some different people simply copy&pasted) and nobody is showing any considerate thought ever since.

Here is a screenshot of 12 full nodes I am currently running on my little lappie. In a few days I expect to add BCA, LBTC and BCP. They have very negligible cpu requirements, consume some 200-500 MB of memory each and require nearly no additional disk space since all the pre-fork data is identical and thus can be deduplicated.

This forks can only delay the price of bitcoin to rise but it will never replace the original bitcoin. This will eventually fail just like bitcoin cash and other previous fork that tried to replace bitcoin. My guess is that it is part of  Operation Dragonslayer that eventually after many attempt.

You have collected a full information of bitcoin folks. But I don't think there is any benefit of making these forks. All these forks are just shitcoins now as people don't feel any excitement about it and don't even bother of moving their bitcoin to the private key wallet to take advantage of these forks as they are free at the time of forking.

Wow I had only heard of three forks out of that whole list.

Any item worth to pursue on that list? Bitcoin Diamond perhaps? I think I saw that somewhere, but all the rest? Not worth to risk your real BTC. Which they probably target.

This forks looks like shitcoins - sell it if you can and buy GOA coin (see it in my signature)

Well Well it seems to be a huge list. These days people are more interested in forking bitcoin rather than creating their own ICO and blockchain. These no more aim at improving bitcoin they are just focused at creating an alternative blockchain. Most of them aren't even supported by exchanges so they never get listed. I have a rather different theory regarding these forks. Its that if these forks are really worth it my wallet and exchanges will pay me up these forks than to just let them go away. It saves me from a lot of headache of moving funds from the cold storage everytime.

It's kind of insane how long this list is, and how few of these I've heard of... Seems like Bitcoin forks are being pumped out almost as fast as ERC20 tokens these days.

Good one, thanks mate!

OMG! What are all these forks? What good is that? Speculation on the exchanges or what?

Yeah and there are probably more, I just don't know about them yet. Let's just hope that the fork craze won't last for long.

The thing about forks (un)importance is that each and every of them has a chance to become significant and valuable in the future, even to the point of replacing the original Bitcoin. The chance is very slim but nobody can know what will happen in the future. So any Bitcoin holder with a non-marginal amount of coins would be insane to ignore the forks. Many of these forks begin around 1% of Bitcoin value which is already a hell of a lot of money to be ignored.

Seriously? What the fudge I thought there was at most 10 forks but this list complied you got 30 here jesus  . All I think now is that I hope most aren't important and I have a hard time taking anything like that seriously given that 30 times bitcoin has been forked, hilarious.

Thanks for the detailed report of the bitcoin plugs. I did not know that there is such a huge amount. Until now I thought that there were only 2 or 3 of them.

Here is my list of 44 (mostly) reviewed Bitcoin forks. This list is not comprehensive, I am not adding anymore forks that I newly learned about that very clearly have just a website (and maybe an old source code) and never really took off, it would be just a waste of my time.

Feel free to suggest a bugfix, addition or any other improvement.

The difference between this list and most of the other lists is that I personally compile the source code, run the software, sync or import all the shared pre-fork blockchain data (using the method I described here, if possible - almost always is), sync-up the blockchain, replace wallet.dat with my Bitcoin Core's encrypted wallet.dat, zap/rescan the wallet and verify that my balances are properly present. Since I never import any private key (and so far never made a since transaction on any of these new forks, thus never unencrypted and revealed my keys) even if the software is evil and would like to babble out the private keys it can't. I am only interested in forks with full-node source code based on Bitcoin Core. If all this checks out I deem the fork as "seems to be working". If I cannot readily find the value of given fork then the value is "unknown", if the amount of forked coins corresponding to 1 BTC is of value lesser than 1% of 1 BTC then the value is "next to zero".

Honorable mentions

Stellar Lumen (XLM)
- https://www.stellar.org/
- bitcoin holders could have claimed free lumens until August 27th, 2017

Byteball Bytes (GBYTE)
- https://byteball.org/
- bitcoin holders (as well as byteball holders themselves) were getting free bytes and blackbytes in distribution rounds since December 25th, 2016, distributed 64.5% of the total supply
- the distribution was cut short suddenly and without any prior announcement => loss of credibility

Bitcore (BTX)
- https://bitcore.cc/
- originally the bitcoin holders received free coins in two rounds and then all the bitcore holders have been receiving weekly airdrops for several months

Bitcoin Hush (BTCH)
- http://btchush.org/
- bitcoin holders can claim BTCH in 1:1 ratio
- "BTCH takes the value from four different blockchains (HUSH, SUPERNET, DEX, BTC), and then dumps it onto a host chain Komodo (KMD). It does not fork from KMD, nor does it fork from BTC or HUSH. It is technically NOT A FORK, but a merged airdrop."
