Bitcore

Overview of Bitcore

  • BitCore was created in April 2017 by the talented developers of BitSend (BSD).With BitCore we created a new blockchain, this means that our blockchain is tiny with currently less than 1 GB in size unlike the blockchains of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond and Super Bitcoin which all are 135 GB+ at the moment.
  • BitCore is one of the first known cryptocurrencies to use the hybrid fork method to distribute BTX to Bitcoin holders.Instead of forking Bitcoin at a specific block and copying the blockchain, BitCore created a new coin with an empty blockchain.
  • Bitcore represents a break from BitPay’s processor plugins, as the JavaScript library is designed not for merchants, but to encourage “more developers to build software that interfaces directly with the real bitcoin network”.
  • BITCORE BTX and Dash Embassy DA-CH participated in the 5th Geno hackathon that took place in the Microsoft office in Cologne, organized by the DZ BANK GROUP (the second largest banking group in Germany) Feducia GAD and ADG.
  • Bitcore developers said the open source library is designed to run on a server on node.js or on a client in a Web browser, and to interact with a trusted bitcoin node or bitcoind instance.
  • Bitcore’s community is rapidly growing, we have a Telegram channels in seven languages, in addition, many publications are being posted on major news media sites.
  • Bitcore is one of the many forks created after the road was paved by BCH and others, so I will not even preseem to know or care for the motivation of the team.
  • BitCore has one of the lowest transaction fees on the market while possibly providing the best on-chain scaling solution in the  entire crypto-sphere.
  • Bitcore can also be spent at retail merchants which follow the guidelines under “How Can My Retail Store Accept Bitcore?”.
  • Bitcore has a maximum total supply of 21 million coins and is mined through the ASIC resistant timetravel10 algorithm.
  • Blockchain

    BitcCore claiming for Bitcoin holdersIn order to allow a widespread adoption of BitCore, we opted for the hybrid-fork model, allowing all BTC holders at the time of the snapshot at the 2nd of November 2017 to receive BTX proportional to their BTC holdings at that time.If you held BTC at block #492820 of the Bitcoin blockchain and can access your private keys, you automatically received 0.5 BTX per 1.0 BTC in the same address on the Bitcore blockchain.For more information please read this article, explaining how to safely access your Bitcore funds.

    Everything regarding B3 is now the full responsibility of the B3 team.BitCloud is a masternode coin, which is continuing to receive constant updates from Christian.However most members of BitCore are not involved in BTDX.BitSend is a cryptocurrency with a network being sustained by both miners and masternodes.To allow reaching their full potential in the future, BitSend BSD, together with BitCore BTX are receiving the main attention from developers and the support team.This is a direct result of the positive responses both projects continue to receive from the community.

    Transactions

    Bitcore transactions are completed within seconds.To do another comparison, Bitcore nearly matches Paypal in transactions per second.To put this in perspective, the Bitcore network can handle an entire years worth of Bitcoin transactions, at the rate as of January 2018, in only three days.
