Bitcoin private was just recently created by a fork of bitcoin and Zclasic. The snap shot was taken at around 12:00 pm USA Eastern Time, February 28th, 2018. Bitcoin Private aims to combine the best of bitcoin ( BTC) and ZClasic ( ZCL ). It's combining the best of both worlds because it incorporates the zk-SNARKS technology originally created by Zcash then adopted by Zclasic which allows for private, anonymous transactions. zk-SNARKS is capable of combining with the bitcoin community as it's shown that it has a big market presence that will bring the best of different worlds into one.
Bitcoin Private will be launched in a few exchanges. It will be listed on the UK-based TradeSatoshi exchange and will be listing on HitBTC in the coming weeks. KuCoin has announced support for the fork and said it will airdrop Bitcoin Private. There are articles online that Binance exchange also will be adding BTCP on their platform. Bittrex will NOT be supporting the market for Bitcoin Private but due to issues with the Zclassic wallet being offline, they will offer Zclassic holders on Bittrex partial support through claiming and withdrawing BTCP. They also mention that Since the ZCL wallet contains a significant amount of UXTO's to clean up and consolidate, they will anticipate that BTCP will be available at least a week from the time of the BTCP network launch.
