Forks that come one after the other in the last period of 2017 will continue to increase in 2018.
It seems that 2018 will be a year when Bitcoin forks compete with each other. This situation is already more or less certain from forklings in the last period of 2017. Many more crypto moneys such as Bitcoin Gold , Bitcoin Diamond, Unlimited Bitcoin, Bitcoin Platinum and Super Bitcoin have emerged in the forking process that began with Bitcoin Cash .
The new Bitcoin forks, which are already finalized in 2018, are as follows:
1- Bitcoin Cash Plus (BCP)
According to the information on the website of the new Fork, the developers' purposes are to fulfill Bitcoin's original promise of co-payment of electronic money. The project promises speed, reliability, low fees, simplicity and stability. Fork, 501407. It is expected to coincide with 2 January 2018 TSI 07.00.
2- Bitcoin Interest (BCI)
It is a crypto coin that works with the proof of stake algorithm, allegedly brought forward to the original Bitcoin . They describe their projects as a global payment system that focuses on technology, society and economy. As the name implies, they are aimed to interest the coin owners with the miners. Fork 505083. The blast will take place at the estimated date of 22 January 2018 at TSI 23.59.
3- Bitcoin Atom (BCA)
Bitcoin Atom is a Bitcoin fork with SegWit enabled, atomic swap, hybrid consensus and lightning network. The developers of the project indicate that they believe that crypto-money trading should be conducted on a block-chain in a decentralized environment and that they have set out on this path. It seems that atomic swaps are evident from the names of the main focal points. We have already published a detailed guide on what the Atomic swap is and what kind of innovations it will bring.
This is how Bitcoin forks we know will be in 2018 for now. As you will notice, it is all in January. Therefore, this number is likely to increase exponentially in the coming periods.
